order for the machinery ha been
placed by Poater & Gunuell, of thia
city, who are the manager for the
Oregon lielie Miuing Company and
atockholdera iu the company, aud It ia
expected to have the mill in opera
tion by the .first of June. The plana
and eatimatea for the mill were pre
pared by P. E. Willetta, of thia oity,
the well known millwright, and the
construct ion work will be under tbe
supervision of A. J. Pike of Grants
l'aaa.
A saw mill is now being erected at
the mine aud a contract for 100,000
feet of loga liaa been let and the tim
ber ia now being delivered . at the
mill. The loga are cut from the com
pany' own timber, they owning over
200 acrea of laud adjoiuiug their mine,
much of which ia heavily timbered,
thus giving them an ample fuel ana
lumber supply iu carrying on tlieir
miuing operations. A 46 horse power
boiler, installed lust fall, to operate
the compressor for the two drills that
are opeiated in the mine, will supply
the power for the sawmill aud also
later ou tor the 10-atamp mill that

mill has been placed and it is expect
ed that ita installation will be begun
within a mouth or so aoon aa the build
iug ia completed. A larger boarding

other Lull. lings.
i'or the paat live nioutha Meaar.
r oster & Gunuell have had a force of
men at Oregon Helle. working iu two
ahifta day and night with )ower
drills, developing the mine. While
thia development work wa beiug
carried on, a large part of the ore
taken from the tunnel waa milled ou
a lluntingiou mill aud llieae mill
testa have demonstrated that the ore is
of high grade and as a large body of it
naa lieeii opened up, thu company felt
lun.v jusiiuea iu the erection of
mill which i to be one of the beat
equipped and up-to-date iu .Southern
Oregon, i lie Oregon iiclltt ia iu the
same ore belt uud ou thu oppoaite aide
of tho Jacksou creek divide from the

De-
Hon. H. B. Miller, formerly United
State oonaul at Niu Chwang, Man
churia, but recently promoted to be
conaul general for Japan with his
headquarter at Yolahama, arrived in
Grant Paaa Tburaday night to apeud
a col pie of day looking after hia ez
teuaive buainea in teres ta in tbia city,
be being a large property owner here.
Couaul-General Miller ia on his way
to Eugene from Washington, where he
went aometime aince to report in per
ou to the preaident and to the itate de
partment on Americau interests in the
far Eaat. He eipecte to leave lor his
new post of duty about the first of
April, nailing ou the steamer Man

Consul-General Miller aud hia family
will take up their reeidence iu Yoka
hama, which, while one of the large
citie of the world, ia one of tho hand
aomeat, healthiest aud moat argeeahle

Southern Oreogn.
The promotion to one of the most
iniportautpoaitiona in the American
consular aervioe came to Mr. Miller
from Preaident Roosevelt aa a recog
nitioo of hia aervice iu aafe-guarding
American iutereata in Manchuria, and
not through any political pull, or in
fluence. That a citizen of Oregon aud
of Grant Paaa ahould be bo highly
honored, i the greateat of autitfactiou
to the many friends in tbia city of Mr.
Miller, and they feel that iu hit larger
field of diplomatic work? he will show
tne same energy, ability and integrity
that characterized him when ho was a
citixen of Grunts Pasa and later when
holding the moat important eonaulship
iu the Orient and iu the atorm-ceuter

hustling trade getter sod he haa
good standing with all the buaineaa
