Work is being steadily pushed at the
Mountain Lion mine, in Southern Ore
gon, owned by Bailey brothers, on
Missouri fiat, says the Rogue River
Courier. The lower tunnel has now
reached length of nearly 400 feet, and
it is expected that it will tap the ledge
inside of 40 or 30 feet farther. Through
out the whole course OF this tunnel, the
rock has been easily worked and not
so hard but that good showing could
be made each day.
A flow of water almost sufficient to
run the mill is now coming from the
tunnel and it is expected that when the
vein is struck, the tunnel will yield an
ample water supply for milling pur-
poses. The ore at this mine carries
high values in gold, and the new tun-
mel will open large body OF the ore.
The mine is we'll equipped with a
good stamp mill and is one of the very
best properties in that section.

Wives Wanted.

Th5 re is dearth of female
help on the Pacific Slope at pres
ent and those persons, who use
help, have been driven to such
straits for it as to be compelled to
employ Chinese and japanese men
In their households because women
can not be had. In early days of
the Northwest, that is, soon after
the white men had begun to settle
up this country and reclaim it
from waste of wilderness, there
was a great lack Of women for the
men that truly wanted wives.
Then 1t was that one of the old
pioneers became equal to the
emergency and went East and
returned with a boat load of
women, each Of whom found a
husband in fairly good circum-
stances in few minutes after she
had left the river steamer on which
she came into the country. Still
there was not half enough women
to supply the husband demand
and SO the next year the same old
pioneer repeated his Eastern trip
and was equally as successful in
getting a large number of women
to come to the far Northwest and
supply the demand for wives.
Unlike the Romans the Puget
Sound pioneers did, not actually
steal wives from their neighbors,
but they bought them at very
high price in paying the expenses
Of the man who went East and
induced the women to come to the
Northwest and marry such men
who had tired Of single blessed
ness. 1t was a rather romantic.
manner Of getting wife and yet
it seems to have worked like a
charm, for one could sit all night
and listen to the pleasing stories
some of those good ladies can now
tell of their early experiences in
this Northwest among the savages
on the one hand and strange
husbands on the other.
The Seattle Republican., 1900-06-15
Female Helm Wanted.

There is terrible scarcity of
women in this section Of the
country at present, not a scarcity
of the kind mentioned above, but a
scarcity Of women as domestics.
Ii the old pioneers found it profit
able to import women into this
country in its early history, why
would it not be profitable for some
man to go South and persuade a
few hundred colored females to
come to the Northwest and supply
long felt want for house girls.
Two hundred, yes three hundred,
colored women could find ready
employment in Seattle and Tacoma
tomorrow, were they here, at wages
ranging from SIG to $50 per month.
In most of the Southern cities the
colored women are not getting over
$40 per month for more work than
they would be asked to do in any
other place save in the South
for the sum Of $50 per month.
Now here is an opportunity for
those women to not only better
their own condition, but relieve
suffering humanity at the same
time. Then, again, there are quite
a number colored men in this
country, who are living in single
blessedness, who would willingly
change their way of living, were
there sufficient 1amsels of their
own race to choose from, hence
more persons besides those want
ing help would be benefited.
HE REPUBLICAN is of the opinion
that if this matter was properly
put before these colored working
women they would gladly accept
the offer and leave their happy
homes for the far West, where big
wages and, probably, husbands
await them. Many Northern
cities in times last have sent
South for colored help and it
proved quite a success, why not
Seattle, Tacoma and the Puget
Sound country in general do like
wise? The subject is open for
discussion SO let US hear from you.
