as the Porter mine. Ave miles north 81
town. which has had considerable develop
ment work done on IL. There have been
discovered several lodges on the Arkan-
saw creek, from three to Ave miles west
of Castle Rock, which only need develop
ment 10 make them valuable properties.
Among these Is the Red Ash mine. which
has been tunneled to depth of more
than 30 feet the quality OF the coal be-
ing q good merchantable article. Opera
lions were suspended in this mine owing
TO lack OF capital to develop In the fall
OF 1897. but the prospects are very bright
for development work to be resumed In
the near future. Steps In that direcUoa
are now under way.
The Carbondaie Coal Company are work
ing their property. mile and a half south
OF town. They have their tunnel In 27o
feet. and the prospect shows up better
as they proceed. The vein 10 six feet
thick and the coal assays better than tho
Roslyn product. Mr.. 0. James Is In charge
OF the work.
Our transportation facilities for market
ing our products are not excelled. having
both water and rail transportation. Yet
all that has been said OF our coal mines,
they may yet have to take second place
when compared with the gold and silver
product OF Eastern Cowlitx ana Western
Skamania counties. the only outlet 10
which mines Is via this place. hence they
are a part Of our resources. This district
is known as the st. Helens. ard lies from
thirty to sixty miles east OF Castle Rock
on the western slope Of Mount st. Heiens.
A number OF Castle Rock parties have
located claims there. the assays from
which are very nat;sring. Several other
companies with more or less capital have
holdings. and altogether several thou
sands OF dollars have been spent In way
OF development. Victor Carlson and 9TH
ers own the Chicago mine. which has as
sayed $500 per ton Of gold. Other quarts
leads have assayed from s UP to as high
as $500 per ton.
To sum up. Castle Rock Is good. sub
stantial town, with perhaps greater possi-
bilities In the future than any town be-
tween Portland and Tacoma 1t has never
suffered the blghting effects OF boom.
but has had steady heaithful growth.
and even through the recent trying period
OF hard times has prospered. There Is no
better site in the state for large factories
which need an .nexhaustible supply OF any
kind OF timber to draw upon which can
be cut and dumped into a fine stream OF
water and landed in a few hours IT the
factory. while the river and railroad offer
everything that could he desired In the
way Of shipping facilities for the finished
product. furniture factory. a sash and
door factory a box factory. etc. would
find excellent locations here. and VIII I'M
doubtedly come. The payroll OF the vari-
GUS mills and mines now reaches over
tI4 900 monthly. This sum together with
the accounts Of the business houses of
the town would furnish the means for a
nice banking business, which Is now done
through Portland hanks. With Its spien-

be CLASSIFIED as follows: Timber. agri-
cultural products. fruits and minerals,
comprising gold. silver. copper and coal,
the latter being the more abundant and
near At hand.
The timber wealth Of the sections i'm
mediafeIy tributary TO Castle Rock. which
ranks first In Western Washington as
manufacturing town, is almost exhaust
less. There are three streams by which
this vas, body OF timber can be foated
to the mills of this city. the Cowlitz and
Tousle rivers and the Arkansaw creek
About fifteen miles east OF Castle Rock
the Toutie river forks and the north and
south branches OF the stream traverse
large territory. which Is noted for its
wealth OF timber and rich agricultural
lands. The principal timbers of this sec
ton consists OF giant frs and cedars. but
there are other species, ash and birdseye
maple. which are extensively used In the
manufacture Of furniture.
Agriculture.
The agricultural products this county 10
capable Of producing are so many In kind
that It % needless TO specify them all. All
kinds of vegetables are grown to perfec-
ton In large quantities Potatoes Yield
enormously. as high as 800 bushels having
been gathered from a single acre, and
from fifty to 100 bushels per acre Ia not
infreauent. Carrots. turnips and heets
yield very large crops and are used prin-
cipaliy for stock feeding. Hay. timothy
and clover grow abundantiy. and a large
amount is marketed each year from our
valleys. Wheat and oats are successfully
grown anywhere. No better quality OF
hops are grown In the country than the
product Of the Cowlitz valley and the
quantity il also large. The extensive ag-
rfcuiturai products OF the Toutle and Up
per Cowriitx valleys are all marketed IN
and through Castle Rock The fact that
our lands are clay loan md the climate
mid and moist makes vegetable growth
very favorable. Farm lands can be bought
reasonably. and there are yet many OPP
pcrtunities TO secure government lands.
Fruits
Fruits OF most ell kinds grow excep-
tioually we'll I'm this locality. Apples.
prunes, plums, cherries, pears and berries
OF all kinds yield splendid crops every
year Peaches are grown here. but to no
very great extent.
From an inventory made In 1896 OF the
fruit trees In the vicinity OF Castle Rock
we take the following: Prune and plum
trees. 50 ooo. apple trees. 3 900. pear trees.
<0U. cherry trees, s.oN At the lowest
average yield per tree. and the lowest
wholesale price In San Francisco. the es-
tsmated value OF fruit produced each year
IS placed a. $4,000.
Mineral.

to time regarding the coal fields near this
place but no more than IL warranted by
the facts. One mile esst OF town lies q
