MINING ITEMs.-At the St. Patrick mine the

coach they sent to San Francisco for
Eastern wood, and received in return
Oregon oak, ash and maple which fully
met their demands. They now build
every car and coach of native woods.
The report is rife that spokes of Oregon
oak are sent to San Francisco and re-
turned marked Eastern timber. So
strong has been the prejudice against
the home products and in favor of the
imported. A gentleman who had work
ed oak in Ohio, and in every State west
and who has made wagons here of our
oak timber. declares it superior to any
this SIDE of Ohio. Another who has
made and filled wagons in Washington
county, confirms that statement with
numerous tests of their siren ,th and
wearing power. Combine skill and cap
ital in this branch. and you will defy
Eastern competition by what you will
gain in freight, while you will have
