As was stated iu Tho Kxaminer a few weeks ago, the Lnkcvicw Mining aud Milling Company has been organized w it h a capital stock of one million dollai J ilivlibxl into two million shares of fully paid up nonassessable hhures at cents each. This company held its II ret meeting Tuesday afternoon for tho purpose of electing its directors and ottlcers, in tho office of Fred Hriggs, iu this city. Tho directors are, Fred II. Hriggs, V. Conn, M. Marks, F. M. Miller, Ueo. H. Ayers. Fiuance Committee: F. M. Miller, (!eo. Ayers, Frod II. Hriggs. Ofllcers: President, (Jeo. II. Ayers, Vice-president and Manager, M. Marks Assistant Manager Hobt. Smith. Treas urer'. M. Miller, Secretary Fred II. Hriggs. The directors aud otllcres of this company are all solid busiuess mu of this county so that outside parties in tending to invest ueod have no fear of the management. Tho manager, Mr. Marks, is a thorough mining man of wido t-xperienco, having had experi ence iu mining In Australlia, Alaska aud the United States. He has made a success of every mining venture he ever undortook. Tho mines are locat ed in the Windy Hollow district where recent rich discovorles have been made that has startled the mining world. The first discovery of gold iu that dis trict was made loss thau two mouths ago, and the prospects are good. Some of tho most extensive mining men of Nevada have visited those mines aud pronounced them a wonder. While the par value of the shares is 50 ceuts per share, '25,000 shares have beeu placed on tho market at '20 ceuts per share. Local capital is takiug hold ot the proposit ion, and it is believed that this issue will soon be takeu up. Tho money realized from the sale of the sAaros now ou the market will be usod iu development work. J. 11.

OREGON EASTERN SURVEYORS COMING Eighteen Men Now at Alkali Lake are C jming to Lakeview. Mr. T. L. Waggoner, head engineer of tho Oreuon ic Knstern railroad, re turned to Lnkveiew as was stated in The Kxaminer Inst week that he would. Whilo he wbi very careful in what ho said regarding the company' business, he gave out the statement to The Kx aminer in an interview that the Ore gon & Kastern railroad Co. had three crews of surveyors at work In Kastern Oregon running outlines for that road. One crew he has now at Alkali lake, about i'lmiles due north of Lako view, coming this way, and would Ik here in a mouth rr ix weeks Th'-y ! w ill rim from Alkali down to Ab.rt ljike, thence along thu lake sbro to the lower cid of the Chewnurau marsh, touching a point west of ttieLost Cabin minim.' dirtrict, and about the nearest point poM-ib!e to reach to the mines with a railroad, thence south to the S. T. Colvin ranch on Crooked Creek, up that cn-ek and cross over the low pans into (iiiorin Lake valley at the north, and to I-rfikeview He said the road would n: built at least to Lakeview, and possibly to the State line. When asked if he contem plated Koing still further south he would not stale, but from a close "quizzing" wo drew from him his opinion of the extension of the X. C. O. north, from which the conclusion could be formed that he did Hot cure to see that road make Very rapid headway, and this would mean that he Sen ions Will be Longer. W. T. Cressler, one ot tho pioneers of Surprise Valley, who renumbers well when it was said, that fro.it and grain could not be growu la that vat ley on account of the short seasons, while iu conversation with an Exami ner representative last week, that he had nut the -slightest doubt any longer that the tilling of tii') soil and accumu lation of populatlou and animal life in a country materially tended to length en the seasons. His opinion is based on personal observation, and when a mail o' Mr. Cressler's ago aud experi ence Miys that the springs will bo a month earlier and tho falls a mouth later when the country is settled up, tho statement is bound to bo heeded In fact it is no wild guess, for other countries have had similar experiences and the fact has become univerully believed. Farmers Instinct. Homor Davonpo it, tho cartoonist, formerly of Silverton, Oregon, arrived at Boston last week troni Arabia on tho Whitd Star liner Cauoplc, via the Mediterranean. Ho brought 17 stal lions and 10 mares of blooded Arabian stock for brood-.ne purposes. Daven- 1 a nnrsnnal interview with the Sultan of Turkey. Ho was forbidden to make any pictures of tho Sultan, Hut Davenport memorized the Sultaus' features and made sketches. After ward Turkish spies discovered iusome way that tho cartoonist had made sketches and searched his bagagge, but they were disappointed, for the wise artist had hidden the drawings in a bale of hay. Ashland Tidings. Connected by Telephone. Lakeview is now In direct commun ication with Hly, Bonanza and Kla math Falls. The lino from here to Hly was completed last Saturday. Just before going to press the Examiner re porter called up Mr. Gates of Klamath Falls and asked blin the latest news, which he stated to bo tho work of tho government on the big canal, which they are uow concreting, working about 500 men day aud night. The are about 40 phones on the local telephone lino in tho vicinity of Hly, and in a few days the number will be cut down to 17, which will greatly increase the efficiency of tho service, which is ex ceptionally good now. Conversations were also held with Heed of Hly and Buutiug of Drews val ley, hut their purpose was wore for the collecting of news items than their dlsseminatJon, consequently, there was little Oolug, but wo were glad to see, er-er-rather hear their smiling faces. m. in i, . .....! rtu thousand dollars lubuilding 6ide- YHlka, preferred the territory between here and Likely left for his company. He went to Likely and returned direct to luk(view, aud from here would not state positively where he would go, but it is presumed that be Is satisfied with the route through this valley and will now turn his attention temporarily to the other crews of surveyors, one ot which is In the neighborhood of Christ inns I-di ko, tho extreme north end of Lake county. This crew is pulling for tho Deschutes river. The junction is to be at Wagontiro. One crew is in H irney valley. Mr. Waggoner would not say what roa is hi-i rdad wool 1 con nect with either east or south, but it is almost certian that Harriman knows about this. He suggests that some t ime the'Soiithern Pacific Co. might buy theX. C. O. and mako a standard Kan IO of it. When asked who was back of the Oregon Kastern, be made the sterotyped answer that "he didnt know." He talked of the Southern Pacific road from Natron across the Cascades and the contemplated connec tion with the California Xorthwestern, or Weed romi at Klamath Falls. He also spoke in a sneering manner of the Oregon inns' recent s'atemt-ut that. J. J. Hill would build a road through Goose Lake valley and down Pitt river. Mr. Waggoner is a nice man, p'eas aut to talk to and talks as freely as consistency permits a man in his posi ti: u. J. M. Willy Dead. J. M Willey died at Iieno, Nevada, Oct. i.

In business ho was indus trious and honest in all his dealings. Mr. W illey was born in Iowa about 71 years ago, emigrated to California aud settled iu Goose Lake Valley, in 18SI, engaging in tho Live Stock bus iness until lS'.M, when ho came to Lake view where he remained in business until bis health compelled him to set out, removing to Reno Xev. Up to this year Mr. Willey camo to this place yearly, during tho Summer mouths, aud old aud young were always glad to meet tho old gentleman who had a ! genial word for each. He leaves au only sou Mr. A. C. Willey to mourn his loss, aud to him aud family we ex our sincere sympathy. New Features in Dress. "The girdle is an highly important feature of fashion and while its ob vious purpose is to furnish the smart Empire touch, clever dressmakers com pel it to serve the more important one of rounding angular lines aud toning down exuberant ones. It must fit to paifectiou and yet appear to be woru with au easy grace. Its lines, neither sovore nor yet careless, must harmon ize with those of the costume, and at the same time prove becoming to the wearer. It may be of the gown mate rial, of handsome ribbon, of silk, thin velvet, or suede. For braid-trimmed gowns, it is covered with over-lapping rows of braid skilfully manipulated over the curves of the figure. The Empire girdlo ends well above the waist line. This is modified for full figures, being brought down to the waist line at the sides, and thence iu a point to the front like an 1830 bod ice. But whatever the shape or mate rial of the girdle, it must fit with tho proverbial perfection of a glove. To secure this result, shapely corsets are essential, aud a girdlo lining correctly cut, closely bono J, and fitted with the utmost earo, both iu a standing and a sitting position. The girdlo cut straight across the top is Binart, but extremely trying. A gradual curve from under the arms downward is more generally becoming." Helen Berkeley Loyd iu the November Delineator. Klamath Falls News. Busiuess seems to have taken a de cided rush toward the Lakeview coun try for soino unknown reasou. This morning the Lakeview Stage company were obliged to put on au extra con veyance.

Floyd Haldwin returned to the city Thursday evening from the Silver Lake country where he has been employed a. i summer oy tne Weyernaeuser peo ple, cruising timber. He states that a great deal of timber is Vig bought up by that company, and that some very high prices are being paid for some of the choice claims. He also states that other firms are buying a great deal, which Is partly account able for the high prices. W. C. Buick, Tommy LaBrie, and Win, Owsley, of Silver Lake, arrived in the city Thursday evening with a drove of beef cattle, numbering about 150. head. The cattle were sold to Mitchell. E. D.

Fleck Returns and Makes Good Report. ASSAY OFFICE AT THE CAMP Ore From Jumbo and Dirt for Several Feet Around Assays $s0 a Ton. II. A. Hunter of the Hunter Land' Co. of Minneapolis, who was In this city last week stated that the people of Eastern Oregon should forget the word desert as applied to the rolilng prairie lands of this county as Western Oregon has taught themselves to forget the word webtoot. He says he has tra veled over all the Western states and no place he has been is the soil and climate equal to that in Lske county. The blue sky, alone, he said, would have induced his company to buy the tract of road land recently purchased regardless of other meritorious fea tures of the deal, and when the char acter of the soil, tne vast undeveloped resources of this country and the fu ture possibilities of agricultural pur suits was taken into consideration ' they were doubly enthuisastic. He says if our eight months' of sunshine was known to exist by people of the world, a general stampede would be made for Lake county. His company is very proud of their acquisition and intend to do some extensive advertis ing of the great possibilities for this country and give to the world the in formation that should have been given out long ago. Of the thousand s of peo ple coming west to find homes, this "4:."!J t iotting' coasparativl toiw,' owing wholly to the impression the few who know of it bavebout the so called "Oregrn desert." The word 'desert" is a disparagement of Eastern Oregons' millions of acres of rich, roll ing prairie lands, of which Lake coun ty comprises a liberal portion, and all that is iequired to-prove this assertion is to give a skilled farmer the oppor tunity aud a market for his product. Common, Everyday Talk. It is getting to be a poor day for news when the building of one or more new railroad line in Oresgon is not an nounced. Probably the most signifi cant announcement during the Y&st week was that of the closing of the Ogden gateway. ' While it is of no im portance to the Western portion of the State, in Wastern Oregon and Idaho ita effect will be greatly felt by ship pers, for the Rio Grande is the popu lar route. in that section. The closing of the gateway is ascribed to the build ing of the Western Pacific, which will have close working arrangements with Rio Grande. It means that freight which reaches Ogden from the East via the Rio Grande will have to pay local rates from there to all points on any of the Harriman lines beyond Og den. The same rule will apply to ship ment from west of Ogden, except when shipped through over the Union Paciflo- As to rumors of new roads, a dis patch from Silver Lake last week statea that a surveying crew, supposed to be of the Harriman system is in Christ mas Lake Valley, and has run one line via Fort Rock through on the south side of Christmas Lake, crossing over Long's ranch and on to Wagon Tire Mountain. It is stated this crew will run another line back on the north side aud through Sucker Flat. It is claimed this survey either side of the'lake will shorten the distance 35 miles or more over tho survey on the high desert, which would miss Silver Lake about 15 or 20 miles to the north. There Is also prospect that a railroad from there running south may be constiuctia by the Gould system. Over on Coos Bay a party of Southern Pacific sur veyors have made their headquarters. They are making survey for the com pany and another party ot engineera for the same Hue are working at River ton. The surveying crews are not giving out any information as to the plans for the company the represent, but they are completing work ou the line that has already been surveyed from Drain.
