Since March, 1900, the company has done over 500 feet of miscellaneous work, to determine the best method of permanent mining and have reached a depth of over 160 feet, where values have varied from ten to several hundred dollars per ton, with better than 15 AVERAGE VALUES. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE II HI-.INGa foregone conclusion from (he development already made Hint the Umpqua group of mines, with proper opening, cm lie made one of the dividend payers of Oregon, and that rich ore todies can he opened up with a reasnrable expenditure of mniiev in a short spaic ol time, and the management heing exceeding anxious to push the development work, hy either drilling r sinking from the end of cross-cut tunnel or hy running a crosscut It veer down nu the creek, (which will he shnit) then diilt on vein and depth will he gained as work proceeds, and ore will he taken out at all times.

WHITMAN'S FAMOUS RIDE. How II,- Saved Till Inland Kinplrt forth Uuil'd Suiu. At Hole one evening last week, J. W. Fallhauks.ol Huston, delivered a lectllle on "Whitman's Hide." Regarding that I minus nip In Washington, the Statesman reports the spe.mer ;i saving In sub sinner: "IJudei the impression ih.it tin pait of the couuliy was soon to hemine a patt ol ileal Itiltalu, t.auadlan liappets and vuvagrls III the emplov of the Hudson Hay lompauv began In llo.k over the holder.

Colorado Men Stampeding to Oregon. A prominent mining man arrived from ' Colorado last week. In .1 conversation , with a Republican man last evening he had a great deal to say about this district, hut I requested that his name he not men I Honed. He has had years of experience J in mining in Cripple Creek and other prominent camps In Colorado and knows . until h'irfntf riii U u li,t lii- s-ic It Hi. ' I ''" - j said: "lii tliis district we come In contact with lock that in some cases looks Iden tically the same as some found in Cripple Creek. I notice that Colorado mining men are Hocking here like a band of sheep. When we see Colorado mining men com- I iug into a camp it is a good indication that I there Is something in sight. I took a trip to the Vlitue dlslrkt about two days ago 'and examined the oie very closely, and in ' mv estimation this camp has a gte.it tuture ' belore It. 1 here aie manv good mines in i tills district that have large and well 1 equipped mills upon them and are paying 1 well, hut there are a great many more i mines with In grade ore that, If properly ' w 01 ked, would leave a great mirgiu of t proht. The necessity for treating this I grade of ore in this vicinity is at the pres i ent time pressing. The milling and gen eral treatment ot ore does not present any special dllficulilesand I see unreason why the present number of paying mines could not be doubled. You must, I suppose, ex pect to see .1 great many failures among them, but many of them will undoubtedly become dividend paying properties. Re publican.
