Thi Oregon Timber, Mining & Iu vestmeut Company has taken np the developmeut of a gold mine on Big Pickett, in which they have acquired an interest, that promises to become one of the most valuable properties in Josephine county.

Several shafts have been snnk upon the property, the two deepest being 40 and B0 feet each, and the entire vMn shows by assays, high values iu free gold.
