The rumor emanating from Klam ath Falls as to the rediscovery of the old Lost Mine is interesting. The constant discovery of new leads in old mines, and the frequent discov ery of absolutely new leads is enough to convince anyone that the mineral resources here are only scratched. The old Hammersly bids fair to be again in the limelight in the near future. George Pease has been clearing out the old workings, and as is usual in such cases here has demonstrated that the ore was not only not worked out, but that the great body o f ore is still untouched. The Hammersley has had the most tragedy connected with its develop ment of any of the mines hereabout. Some three murders are credited to the vicinity, and the taking out of the rich ore seems in the past to have been invariably accompanied with rough stuff. No possibility of a business development could be found under such circumstances. The Nonesuch on the Applegate has a two hammer compressor in place, and is going ahead as fast as circumstances will allow with the extensive development plan made out some time ago. Edwards on Louse creek is planning a hundred ton mill. Judging from past perform ances, the mill will go in, and go in right. ---------- o---------- ' did not come, rates were not low ered; the too-powerful board of con trol rode Ontario like the old man o f the sea and the province o f Que bec, with no such idealism prevailing, got the industries. The serious epidemic among the ducks in Tule lake last year seems to be breaking out again among the ducks, according to word from Klam ath Falls. Last year thousands of the ducks were killed in the epidemic and many local hunters were forced to delay their hunting trips until late in the fall. Pat Dailey, field invest igator for the game commission, counted 28 carcasses along the edge o f the lake. Rains there during the past few days may freshen the water, however, and prevent a gen eral outbreak o f the disease, which has puzzled the officials as to its nature.

U N SU C C E S S F U L Do the people o f Oregon want to bond themselves for $50,000,000 so that Dan Kelleher and the House wives’ Council may try out an idea that has proved unsuccessful over a period of years in Ontario, Canada?

Urttwrmtf of O f While there has been little start ling lately in mine development, the samples brought in from the Argo would cause a stampede anywhere else but in Southern Oregon. While not so rich as the samples in the bank from the Robertson, they are much more spectacular, as the gold is 'a brilliant yellow, and shows up much better. Moreover there ap pears to be plenty o f it. Bailey at Mt. Reuben is in just about a mile, with all indications favorable. Wade on the Golden Mary is going ahead as fast as the engineers wDrk will allow, and the ore from the Jewett continues to hold up both in value aad quantity. Mannon and Fleming are equip ping their placers on the upper Al- thouse in a very complete fashion. They are installing a ten ton hoist, electrical equipment for lighting, and following that line through out. With the kind o f ground they have to work, this winter will show some real recoveries in placer. The Sil ver ereek placer still has its crew o f eighteen men at work, and the pack train is still busy freighting next winter’s supplies. James Dean is extending his pipe line and there is rumor that the large placer above the town o f Placer on Graves Creek will be put into production this win ter. On Evans and Roots creeks there is preparation for the winter run, and if the dredge at Rogue River is installed before the water comes, there will be many times more work going on this winter in plac ering than for many years.
