The weather and its effect on travel' in I he mountain districts so far this season have been extremely unfav orable to the prosecution of the work undertaken in the matter of ejilhcrin the desired data by personal visit and ili.-pcctioti ; but the fa ft thai the ides of March are here, brin'in with them midwinter conditions - an ex traodimirv circumstance in seasonal progress in southern Oreuii suy- ests that soon the other extreme may he expected.

Monte, who has devoted sev eral weeks to looking about this ter ritory for "mining snaps,' left Sat urday morning for San Kruncieo, his western headquarters. Like most mining investigators, he has pursued his tak practically incognito and has litlle to say in definite statements about what he found. ( 'oncernimr t he re-ulti of two or three vi-it. to The Meadow district he sn: 'I believe it is a rich di-triet and more exten-ive than pro-peeling to date has revealed.

Many extraordinary pock ets of gold have been found in thi region. notably in the Gold Hill dis trict. Many are yet looking for pock ets in a manner that indicates that le-is than a tub of gold will not satisfy them. Pocket Ijnnliim becomes a habit among miners who have had a little Miccc-s at it. They promi-e them-.-.elves that, when they find tin' next big pocket, they will settle down to mining Icigilimntely. Not many of them find the next pocket ; hut it is their wild oals period in the gold hunting business and some of them never get beyond it. Mr. Monte, it will lie observed, speaks very conservatively of The Meadows district. Mining men know that it is an unusually rich region; hut those who have claimed most of (lie area there are not able financially to develop their properties. They are waiting for investors to share their promise of wealth and help theni to tunnel it out of the earth. It is that class of mining men whom I he league is now reaching with its information concerning the mineral attractions of southern Oregon.

Steele has made the fol lowing report: "There has heen considerable in quiry as to what has heen done by the committee appointed at the Ap preciation banquet, in the matter of th Mcdford-Cratcr Lake highway and as there has so far heen no opportun ity for the committee to report, it appears to me as advisable that 1 give a brief account of the work. "The members of the committee have been extremely diligent and have considered the matter thorough ly and carefully. A second meeting was held with the county court in Jacksonville Immediately on its con vening for the March term, tho result of which was that I was sent to Port land to confer with the chairman or ,tho Oregon Highway commission, and tho forest officials, which I did, meeting the chairman and a repre sentative of tho forest service In the latter'a office. "I was turned down flatly and Im mediately returned to Medford to re port to the committee, which was done at a meeting held at tho Com mercial club. The matter was thor. referred to Messrs. Gore, Westerlund, and lloos, who went to Eugene and conferred with Mr. Adams, of the commission who will meet tho citiz ens of Medford at tho Star theater this evening, for tho purpose of toll lug them what tho commission pro poses to do for us. "In conclusion will say the com mittee Is still In active existence pre pared to do whatever may be necus sary In the premises and I believe the interests of the community couid not ho in tetter hands."
