Lecture ou Cuba
Prof. Leavltt is thinking of giving
a lecture on the Cuban question, some
time in the near future. The Cuban
question right now is one of great im
poitance, owing to the recent upris
ing there and the probabilities of the
United States being compelled to Iter
veue in the troubles there.
Prof. Leav itt served in the United
States army through the Spanish
American war, and conditions in Cu
ba became quite familiar to him dur
ing hia stay in the Islands.- He has
made it a study and is capable of deal
ing intelligently with the subject. It
is hoped that he can be prevailed up
on to deliver a lecture, on this subject.

couraging, aud while no great depth
in :v iv m 1

has been attained on any o' the claims
the results of assessment work was
sufficiently enconraging to warrant
preparations of permanent develop
ment of the mines. The work that is
to lie done from now on is to be of a
permanent character.

Forty Thousand Dollars Offered

The Lakeview Mining A Milling Co.
baa been organized with a capital of
91,000,000, shares 50 cents each, fully
paid up and non-assessable. Mr.
Marks, a thorough ndning man of
Grants Pass, is at the bead of the new
company, which is to operate some
very rich mines in the Windy Hollow
District Mr. Marks understands
mining thoroughly and haa considera
ble capital back of him, and he tays
there is a future for the Windy Hollow
mines.
This new company will -ncorporate
about twenty or twenty-five claims,
including Bob Smiths, Biebera' and
others. Some of the claims lie along
side of the famous Jumbo claim. Mr.
Marks informes us that he tried to bny
the Jumbo, but thinks by spending
some money on some of the claims
they hae they will have as good a
mine as the Jumbo. . He told us that
he offered 940,000 for the Jumbo, but
the owners wanted 9600,000.
Mr. Marks is confident that he will
succeed in the venture, as he has the
money to spend in finding the right
place and the rock found on top of
the ground is rich and extensive
enough to warrant the expenditure of
a large sm ia locating the ledge, .sad,

Organize Dramatic CInd
All tbo8j interested in the formation
of a Literary and Dramatic club for
the town of Lakeview will please at
tend a meeting to be held for that pur
pose on next Saturday evening at the
Lakeview Business College.
Professor Trodden has been asked by
several of the most prominent people
in town to organize such a club, and
has consented to call the above meet
ing for that purpose.
As the name indicates, the object of
the club will be to cultivate a literary
taste among its members, as well as
the giving, from time to time, of ama
teur theatricals.
Lakeview has long felt the need of
such an organization, and it is earn
est'y hoped that the movement will re
ceive the support it deserves ; the pre-'
sentation of some popular play has al
ready been contemplated, but atten
dance at the meeting Saturday evening
affords the only criterion of what the
club ma be able to produce.
