The southern counties of the state, aud especially Joaephiue, are no toriously rich io mineral wealth, with the prosm ts disclosed, as the years go by. that the ultimate opu lence to be realized from this souroe is not withiu the conception veu of miuiug men who have long been familiar with tlie district Hut miuiug and timber are but two of the talents iu the uapkiu. The country surrouudiug Urauts Pass, in cluding an extensive area, is as favor ably located as any iu the state for agricultural pursuits; a fact that has been rocogulxed to the practical ad vantage of a host of enterprising citi zens. For souie years Urauts Pass lias sustaiued au euviablo reputation as the distributing point for early vegetables aud fruit. These are the products of fertile aud well-watered valleys. Aside from this there is au extensive area, susceptible to Irriga tion, that will soon be made uroduc tlve by the completion of two systems now iu contemplation.

The five stamp mill is nearly ready for operation and will soon be running on first class ore. I ears ago tne Jiammersloy was operated with good results and made an exoellent record. Bnt the prop erty became involved in litigation and lay idle for a number of years. The mine filled op with water and the equipment deteriorated by disuse, rust and decay. Less than a year ago, F. H. Osgood undertook to awaken the qoiet property, the ex- oellonoe of which was believed in by 11 who were acquainted with it A large pumping plant was Installed and the stupendous task of otiwater- ing the mine was successfully ao- nomplishod. The equipment was overhauled and renewed and the Ham mersley is now one of the active and well equipped properties with excel lent prospects for the immediate future.
