satisfactory arrangements for the en
tertainment of the excursionists who
will bu hero from Portland about

pleted arrangements for tho removal
of tbo bar 'nt the mouth of Wood
river. Jas. Wheeler was awarded a
contract to do the dredging and to
build Jetties, tbo work to bo com
pleted by August 1st, so that when
tho excursionists arrive they can be
taken by steamer to a point only
three and a half miles distant from
rort Klamath. Mr. Wheeler agrees
to da thl work for $100.
The securing of a round trip rato
to Crater Luke was one of tho most
Important matters accomplished by

furnish- meals for the excursionists

Mining Men Developing Lake Counts'
Gold Discoveries.
In all sections ot Lake county,
where traces of gold have been
found, development work Is being
pushed and In the Window Hollow
district, which haa been rechrlstened
and Is now known as Ooldrun, more
than eighty men are at work sinking
shafts and driving tunnels. Practi
cal mining men who entered the field
are very favorably Impressed with
the outlook and work will be prose
cuted until tho close ot the season.
On several ot the claims there are
Indications that tho ore body grows
larger as tho vein sinks and the ral
lies get better.' Considerable money
Is being spent In that section and the
people of Lake county appear to be
once more firm believers In their
gold fields.
Itarrlman But Not lUrrlman.
On the boat Saturday nfght was a
passenger named R. Harrlman and,
as he had all kinds ot money, he at
tracted more or less attention and
there were those who were positive
that It was "Edward" himself. Those
who bad dealings with him, say he
spends his money like some sort ot
a king, but ho Is no relation to the
ruler of transportation so far na can
ho learned.
Maklag Near Beer.
A. Caatel, the brewer, baa begun
