I 1 Our Correspondents EAGLE POINT EAGLETS. 1 f IG VEINS TRACED IN THE BARON MINE I Tho Baron iniuo is ninnled 11 miles eas of Ahhland. Tho vein lias a southeast and u northwest strike, and "stands almost vertical. At a depth of 40 feet tho vein shows a width of 00 feet, with nn assny value of $8 per ton, in jjold, says tho Vulley Itocord. JA.t u depth o0 80 feet it shown a width of -10 feet, with tho same value, and, nt n depth of 200 feet the vein shows a depth bf 10 feet, with no indica 'tioa of becoming smaller, and tho Values remain tho suinu. -Strntas of very high grade ore ate found through the vein. Sixty tons of ore i'rom this property were milled at 'Ashland, and gave returns of .fJO per ton in gold and it was found that tho tailings from this test run gnvo n Value of .fl8 per ton. Owing to the imbo character of tho ore, which car VioH gold; silver, lend, ziuo, antimony uud arsenic n satisfactory recovery of t)io vallies could not ho made by iiinulgamaUoii. ' Tho development work consists of a cross cut tuuuuf, 320 feet in length, which cuts thu vein nt a depth of 20 Ifcct; tho voiu wns drifted on 150 feet faioh way, and an upraise of ICO foot wih fun to connect yvith a 40 foot crosscut tunnel above, which gives fur couucctioiis. Tho vein can ho traced on tho sur iVico for tho distunco of ono milo. Plenty of water mid limber are ac cessible for tho working1 of tljo prop erty, and n good wagon road leads from tho mine to Ashland. This prop , crty in owned h.V the., 'Alton Mining t'ompauy of Aslilaud, Dy A. C. Hewlett.) Tho last time 1 wrote I left off on my arrival at Oregon City, where 1 had gone lb get out of tho Jam that 1 found in Portland. Returning tho next morning to the City of Hones, l found that the Immense throng had subsided to a certain extent. On my arrival In the city I repaired to the First ConKregatlona'l church on Park 8treol and all along the route large ureas ot seats were to bo seen where the vast crowds had been dented to see the various processions of the previous day of tho rose carnival; but when 1 reached the church I was surprised to find so many represen tative men and women assembled, and especially on Saturday. There woro men and womeil there from al most every state In the Union, as well as many from the orient, India, Australia and Europe, that had come to take part In the Congregational Pacific Coast congress, and among them many of the leading men and women of. not only tho Congrega tional church, but representatives ot other churches. During the six days continuance ot the congress the va rious Interests of the church were discussed, and some ot tho best tal ent of the country was" displayed, and one native preacher from India gave us an Interesting account of his work In his native land. Dut I did not In tend to take up the time of the read ers of Eaglets In going over an ac count or our church affairs, although It may be of Interest to many ot them, but Intended td try to tell something or what I saw and heard In the City of Itoses. It has been 19 months since I was hero before, and for me to say that Portland has. grdwn does not cover the ground, for since that time Port land has absorbed (I guess that Is the right word) probably half as niany In numbers as there Is In Jackson county not speaking disparagingly or my own county, but When you count the Inhabitants of St. Johns. Alberta, Flrland, etc., you win see that the city has Increased In num bers to a great extent and, whllo it has Increased In numbers by taking In new territory, in the main or old part or the city they have made vast improvements in almost every re spect. In my rambling over the city' I was somewhat handicapped by the fogs and dense atmosphere, which prevented me from Seeing as much as I would liked to have seen. For In stance, the day I went up on Council Crest, in the morning when I left Flrland the atmosphere was clear and t thought that I would have a fine view d! the city. Vancouvor, Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, the Columbia river and tho country between them and the cdasu By tho ttmo I arrived the haze had settled down and I could hardly see across the city. Portland now extends trom near Mllwaukle on tho south and includes to St. Johns on tho north, a distance of about 16 miles, and' from Cduncll Crest on tho west to Flrland on tho east, a distance of about 12 miles, as near as I could judge. And only think or a man riding from either or tho extremes to tho other In a nice, clean street car ror a nickel. While" at Flrland I had tho pleasure or visiting our old Jackson county neighbors, J. E. Stepp and ramlly, John and Rudoir Isell, and their fam ilies. They are the men who owned and operated the Roundtop sawmill that was burned down two years ago last summer, and are still reading tho Mall Tribune and have lumber holdings near tho old mill site. I also met quite a number or old time friends from different parts or tho country. But here I am, almost at tho close or my letter, and have said but little about tho beauties and mtenlal Im provements ot Portland. First I wish to speak or tho care that Is exhibit ed to beautify the city with roses. It Is surely properly named when It is called the City of Roses, for you can go nowhere without coming In contact with thorn In some form or other. Every little yard, bo It over so small, has a portion set apart for roses, and not only tho quantity but also tho quality, for thero are some or tho largest and iriost 'rragrant but most beautiful that the world can produce are to bb found In Portland. In addition to the roses th&ro Is also almost every kind of shrubbery that can be found that will live In this cllinato. "Tho pCdpie or Portland also soom to vlo with each other In trying to sco which can make their resi dences look the most dttrdctlvo, and tho business' men aro trying to see which can' excel In the' lino of build ing, and 'they are raising their store buildings up to Hi stories high, and I was talking with ono of tho mer chants about the amount of business ho was doing. Ho has u half a block, eight stories high, and ho said that If lie had us much okaln space ho would do as much inoro business, und still TALENT ITEMS.
