Coovret, engineer of the Dallaa Falls city railroad to build a railroad from Salem to Dallas, was acoepted.

The follow in g resolutions were also adopted by th e club: “ Resolved, That it is the sense of th e Greater Salem Commercial cluo that it would be to the best interests o f the people of this city for Salem to own and operate an electric light plant to supply the city and its inhabitants with light, and we would respectfully ask the Salem city council to appoint a committee to investigate the ¿flatter o f Salem p u r hasing or constructing and operating such a plant. “ Resolved, That the city council receive propositions from persons or ■corporations having watei powers or lighting plants to s e ll." Grant’ s Paso—A milkpan half fu ll of gold— 200 Ounces— valued at more than $16o00, was the sight that greeted scores of visitors at the G ran ts l a Banking A Tust company's bank one day last week. This represents about one-fifth of the amount taken from a ledge since its discovery. T h e discov ery was arade by the 18-year-old son of David Biggs. W h ile out hunting he stumbled onto a ledge of decomposed quarts which was more gold than quarts. He secured a chunk the sise of a candle- box and took it to his father’s placer claim, where it was mortared and yielded nearly $800. Early next morning the fam ily staked out seven claims and began min ing. In two hours they had $2,000, and in one week they had mortared out $26,000, and M r. Briggs reports the ledge getting better all the tim e. The whole amount was taken from an exca vation ten feet long by seven feet wide. The find is the talk of the country, and already tbe surrounding hills are being searched by prospectors and the excitement is at fever beat. The lead is located in the southeastern part of Josephine county, about 60 miles from Grants Pass. Road to Blue River Mines. .Dredge Clears a Astoria— The bar dredge Chinook has not missed a day at work on the Columbia entrance excepting the time consumed in coaling, since her return from Portland, and nas accomplished very much in that time. The record performance for one day is 6,000 cubic yards or more than 9,000 tons. This is the greatest day’s work ever done by a vessel of her class, and the perform ance has been highly gratifying to the officers. The big vessel has materially deepened the river entrance, and pilots say that the depth has inci eased two feet in some places. Eugene— The Commercial club, at a recent meeting, took steps toward fur ther improving the road to the Blue river mines, on which a good many thousand dollars have already been ex pended. A committee of eight business men was appointed to make a personal inspection of the district and report to th e club within ten days. Extensive improvements are being made in the Blue river district this summer and a good road is necessary to keep Eugene in touch with the mines.
