GROVE, O re g o n M in in g Exchange; V ice President O rego n M in ers A s s o c ia tio n for B o h em ia District. J J. Hard of Portland, Secretary of tbe Oregon Mining Stock Exchange, is general manuger of the Vesuvious, R iver side and Oregon-Colorado mining companies in the Bohemia mining district. Mr. Hurd is a native of New York state, but many years of his life has been spent in Colorado mining dis tricts, where he familiarized himself thoroughly with mining o|>erutioU8 and was emiuentlr successful in all his undertakings. He first visited the Bohemia miuiug district nine veurs ago and was so favorably impressed with this, at that time, comparative ly new mining camp, that he returned four years later and ac quired the above meutioued proper ties, among the very best in ttie dis trict, for bis company. Since that time Mr. Hard has labored diligent ly to bring this great mining dis trict to tbe attention of mining in vestors and operators, and while personally interested in a good group of mines, he has been broad enough and liberal enough to work for the advancement of tbe entire oistru t and to him is no doubt due more credit for tbe present prosper ous condition of the district and its rapid development thau any other man. He has been the means of directing the attention of such meu us Geo. W. Lloyd. G. B. Hengen and many others to this now well- known mining district, alwnys rep- | resenting one part of the district to be as good as auotber, and assum ing that quartz mines of greater merit than those under course of development and in actual oper- atiou in the Bohemia district could n yt be found ou the Pacitie coast. Mr. Hard bus fully n mile of tuu- nels completed in his group of mines. Patents have beeu secur ed for the Vesuvious and Oregon-Colorado, and survey for pat ent on tbe Riverside is in progress. A sawmill is being in stalled at the Vesuvious to supply lumber and timbers for ex tensive improvements incident to tbe actual operation of an ex tensive plant, when there is no doubt but what large dividends will be realized. At tbe Oregon-Colorado many tons of ore are in sight, and that will also be a large producer as soon os the necessary machinery can be installed. The Riverside is making a splendid showing, work on the deep tunnel being carried on night and day. The Executive Committee of the Oregon Miners Association met at Portland Monday and ap pointed Mr. Hard vice-president of the association for the Bo hemia district, nu honor fittingly and worthily bestowed. This action was taken in accordance with a petition numerously signed by Bohemia mining men and citizens of Cottage Grove, demonstrating fully in wlmt high regard Mr. Hard is held in this city and mining district, and srilh wlmt appreciation his valuable services in promoting the interests of the Bohemia mining district, is held by tho people generally of this community.
