MUNN & Co.se,Bt, Kaw Yoik It Is expected that the Opp mill will be comiletd this week and that on Monday next It will be put iu operation and another big mill will bo added to tho rapidly Increasing number of quarts nulls that are ex tracting the gold from the hills of Houtlieru Oregon, which is bringing thu prosperity that is to make thia uctloti one of tho most prosperous In thu West. The Opp mill la a 20-statup building, cqulpjied for the present with IU Heiidy stamps ot lOUO pounds oarli. two Pender concentrators, aud a crusbor. The power la elm-trio aud ia suppliud from the Gold Itay station on Rogue river, ll ml lis distant Thrno motors will be used, ouo to oneratj the stamps, one the conceu trators and one thu crusher. The mill will bu lighted with olectricity Two oru bins, of 2D0 toua capacity each, am placed iu the upper part ot the building, to bold a reserve supply if oru for the crusher. Ore will be brought from the mine to these ore bins Iu tram cars, otierutvd by gravity force, from the main tunnel of the ledge. Water for mill one will bo brouuht from the upper section of the right fork ol Jackson creek by a plank flume, HxIO inches square 7 UK) feet long. The work of erecting the Opp mill has been nnder the charge of I'. E Willctt. who also put in the big mill at the Granite Hill mine and whlcl was completed this full, Mr. Willed haa pushed the construction with the utmost ied as la shown by the fact that it has been but W days from the date when the first foundation work was done until the mill was ready for operation, yet no part uf the work has been slluhtod aa la proveu by the substantial character of the building and the solid and thorough manner In which the machinery has been set all the foundations being of cement placed ou the bedrock on which tie mill stands. The, mill Is said by mining men to be oue of thu best coustracteil and equipped iu Southern Oregon. Its capacity will be above 40 tons per, day, of 21 hours, aa tho oro of the Opp mino ia ot soft, friable character that is eaally milled. A force of miners have been working day and uluht for some time, getting out ore, aud besides having tho mill bius full, large reserve bin at the head of the tramway haa been filled aud the mine la ao opened op that there will be no difficulty In keeping the aupply of ore up to the require meuta of the mllL The mill will be in charge of C.

Tho elevation to which tbe ledgo extends above the mill ana ireek valley renders both ths deliver- nir of thu ore aud the drainage of the mine a uiero matter of gravity, thus inflating a big exponas acoount mat many mines have to meet. The land hnldlima of the Opp Mluing Company embracea 213 acres on which develop- uieut work show aeveral ledgea, all containing ore of working value. Tho Opp Mining Company ia compoe- cd of J. W.
