It has always been known that there was coal at Eden Ridge, but it was not given much attention on account of that country being so inaccessible. Eden Ridge is the name of the mountains-4 the head waters of south fork of the Coquille an I divides tha valley of the Co quille from the valley of the Rugne river. Ittis the place where Grants Pass capitalists consider building a big water plant. Since the Smith-Powers railroad has been started from Myrtle Point up the south fork, much moro at tention has bsen given to the real lands of Eden Itidge on account of the prospects of transportation aud consequent opening of the coal lands for commercial purposes. Anticipating that this isolated country would sometime tie brought c.oser to a market, a mining ex pert named Myers went into the country about t w o years ago and has been prospecting on the government land. He has opened veins and investigated the territory, and has located a number of persons on land which they took up from the government under tl-e mineral act. Now that the railroad has started many more are investigating with a view of being on the lands. It is claimtd that the coal is of a fine quality and with rail transportation which will doubtless be developed, an added va'.te will hi given to the claims: The first to be located were charged a fee abo it the same as is usually charged, but since the rail, road h is started the location fees nave been doubled and trebled.
