A high power compressor and machine drills have been ordered and will be Installed as soon as the road will permit of their transportation.

All Merlin Is pre paring to bo present nt the celebra tion of the starting up of the smel ter, nnd several nutomoblles have already been engaged for that occa sion. The starting of this smelter :n,jitns everything for Merlin, as Its success will make a necessity of a railroad from this town to the Gallce district, and as there are so many dllferent parties figuring on taking advantage of this demand there will undoubtedly bo a race to see who will jet started first. The latest movement In mining "licles Is the sale of the Oak mine In the Jump-Off-Joe district, seven miles northeast of Merlin. This has been mirchased by a Salem promoter, who has made such a success of the Oriole proposition at Gallce.

While this property hss laid Idle for the past year It was not because of any lack of value In he ore, but because of a friction in tin management and this satisfactory culmination of the strife will attract J attention to that almost forgotten I district. This mine has a good road to Merlin, plenty of timber, running ' r-'" 1 across the property, making It par- nruiariy aesiraoie in every wHy. ! f we might be allowed to repeat i something you probably have heard ; before, "There'll be something do- , Ing In Merllnjrery soon."

His hair Is scarcely tinged with gray; this because he lives above the frost line. Mr. Morris is full of hospitality and Invites his friends to visit him and cat figs, pecans, dry land cranberries nnd smell his Chinese rones in January and February. He sold $27.50 worth of figs from ono 7-year-old tree last year and he swears by his cranberries.
