mineral land surveyors have been APP
pointed this year. and more surveys of
mineral claims have been made this
year than in any three years in the his

true enough: "And the mines will do
more toward making Oregon prosperous
than all other industries combined. The
output for 1899 will be an eye-opener
to Oregonians even"
