proprietor and robbed the store.
They then robbed a trading boat at

sued by the Sheriff and posse.
They separated, two going to Little

two, and on Sunday last, sixteen

Coos Ray.

A communication from Hugh
Small to tie Oregomidu contains
some facts in relation to Coos Bay
that may be of interest TO our read
ers, therefore we condense: In re-
Iation to the coal mines of tl.at re-
gion lie says, should the reasonable
expectations of the managers of tie
mines now being opened be realized,
seven hundred and fifty men will
find immediate employment therein.
Besides the coal interest, the iutlus-
tries in actual operation, and III
contemplation, between the entrance
to tic Bay and the Coquille river
will, in in the conrse oftwo or three
years, be a matter of astonishmelt
and admiration to all interested III
the development of tie resources
of Oregon. lie says there will al
ways be a steady demand for good
coal miners, and the best time to
come is early in the fall. There is
also a demand for strong, sober, in
dustrious young men as teamsters,
and to fill various positions inside
and outside of the mines. Disso-
lutte, incompetent, indolent men are
not wanted. Men who are ac-
quainted with the numbering bust
ness, and can make themselves use
ful-in logging camp or about the
fawmill and planer, are i'll demand,
ut good wages In the mines, ex-
perienced miners ofssteady habits
average 81 per day; drivers, weigh
srs, aud others filling responsible
positions, get S.; general laborers
are paid $40 per month and board
Competent loggers get 81 per day
during the spring, summer and fall
months; choppers from $40 to $50
per mouth and board, while first
class teamsters get from SIS to 500
per month and board. Carpenters
are also in demand from April to
November. On Coos river, which
, is navigabIe for distance oftwenty
niles, while the north forksare each
navagabIe for FIVE miles, there are
number of fine farms. The bottom
lands are rich and very productive,
and sell for from S25 to 500 per
acre. Two steamboats, make semi
weekly trips from the mouth to the
head of Coos river, carrying freight
aud passengers. The Coquillc val
ley is also rich and productive, and
is attracting large emigration.
The bottom lands, comprising the
principal part of the valley, are not
surpassed in productiveness. The
population ofthe valley has doubled
il the last two years, and the price
OF land has increased from 81 to
SO per acre. A railroad, now in
course of construction, will connect
Coos Bay with the CoquilIe river.
The CoquilIe river is navigablc for
forfy-fiye miles, and is said to be one
of the most beautiful rivers i'll Ore
gon. The valuable coal interests,
vast forests Of white cedar and other
valuable timber, the richness of
the agricultural lands, added to a
healthy climate, are some of the at
fractions possessed by these two val
lies, which will continue to invite
emigration to that section of the
State for years to come.
