JUDGE J. FAWCETT. Chairman of Mining Organ- zation Quite Enthusiastic on the Matter. Ieave your measure for a suit of .clothe at Neil 1 Mercantile company's. Judge Jacob Fawcett, of the Psycho Mine in the Greenhorns, was in the city a few days last week. 0eratioiis at the mine and mill keep him fairly well engaged up in that snowy altitude. The Judge appears to lai well pleased with the poHsibi titles of bin mining ventures. He states that they are run ning fifteen stamps on Psyche ore and five stamps on ore from the Morn ing mine. On the uper leveta of the Psyche there are largo quantities of milling ore, but in the lower levels considerable con per is in sight which will be marketed at the Smelter in Sumpter when the pro per time arrives. Concerning other matters, the judge stated that his attention had been called to an editorial in Tiik Minkr regarding the committee that he had appointed while chairman of a public meeting held at the Hotel Sumpter early in Dec ember. He intends to return some time this week when he will have more leisure to push the matter of organization, some thing that this section very much needs. In discussing plans for the advance ment of mining interests, the Judge was in faver of a mineral exhibit on the line as published in Tiik Miner on December 10th last. What' the Matter With Oregon?
