THE DALLES ORE.
Oregon's annual mineral produc
tion, consisting chiefly of stone, sand
and gravel, cement, clay products
and metals, amounts to about $7.00,
000, says Dr. J. 11. Hance, dean of
the Oregon state school of mines.
The gold output from the placer
mines is of splal importance now.
It is reported that iorae of the more
recent underground explorations are
opening up promising copper and
gold ore reserves in the Grants Pass
district High freight rutei in this
region is one of the factors which
handicap the development of the min
ing industry there.
A railroad" between Grants Pass
and Crescent City with some harbor
improvements at the latter place is
contemplated. Deposits of no practi
cal value at present might be operat
ed then with a margin of profit.

The Tygh Valley boys came over
Monday afternoon and played a
game of baseball with " Waptnitia
school taeam. The visitor.; went to
bat first and" after that inning never
even made the r.ma ' interesting.
In the fifth inning they ran' in one
score when Muller hit a long fly
with' three on, bringing in the man
on third base. Wapinitia'a victory
was largely due to the' excellent
pitching of Jerry. In each of five
innings but three Tygh men went
to bat, and only twice during the
game did Jerry give a walk. Thf
infield and first baseman retired
several Tygh players, while the out
fielders got nearly everything thai
came their way. Waplnitla rang up
two .cores in the first, one in the
third, four in the sixth and four in
he eighth, making a total of 11 fo
our team, while Tygh got but one
lone tally.
