HIGH; PLANING MILL TO PUT IN STEAM ENGINE Extensive Lead of Rock Assay ' ing Well Exists Near theCity" Some day extensive copper mines may be operated within two miles of Eugene's city limits, or perhaps by that time the city will have expand ed so that the limits will embrace the mines. There are some very good copper croppings in the hills south of the city, thisside of Spencer's butte. Dr. J. Christie, a mining man of many years' experience, who is de veloping a gold prospect In the Cas cade mountains forty miles up the Willamette, has been investigating the copper prospects in the nearby hills for some time past, and yester day followed a lead nearly all day for several miles. The lead, I)'. Christie said, Is about 25 feet wid , and he thinks It extends for many miles. He followed it across several farms along the foothills, through thick brush nnd over rocky preol pices. There is a deal now on for the sale of one of these farms for about $30,000, and the prospective purchasers may have the develop ment of this copper vein in view. Some time ago a quantity of the rock secured from this lend assayed $36.50 to the ton In copper and gold. but the copper predominated. This rock was taken from the best look ing part of the lead.' " If the rock proves to be that rich, or even half as rich all the way through, It seems that It would pay to develop the property. : ! ' Because of the excessive price charged for the electric current used bv the motor that operates the machinery ui the plant of 'the .Eugene Planing Mill company on Lawrence- street, the com pany will soon instill a steam engine and thereby lower tho cost of operation. A big boiler for tho engine arrived from Portland today and Is being unloaded at the mill. The company offlclnls saf that hundreds of dollnrs a year can be saved by -substituting steam for electricity. For several years this plant was given a flat rate of $40 a month for electric power, but for a number of months past the bill for the current has riBen as high as $140 per month.
