says through trains will soon be runnin 9
from Dainy to ST Petersburg, and that
"a 600 men are at work in cons.ru citing

butter, milk, -four, cheese, dried fruits
jams, lumber, doors and sashes, house
fittings, furniture, machinery, hardware,
and nearly all things used by man will
coon be handled and sold in large
quantities. Woolen goods. clothing and
blankets will have a good sale, for the
country is cold, although 1t lies much
south Of Portland. A good suggestion.
But there will haye to be more cows,
hogs, sheep, etc, etc, raised in the

was attributed to defective ANAL
gsmation. But the mine was beginning
to peter out and another run Of six weeks
demonstrated that the location was
only pocket ledge. s24 per ton was
a result OF the last run and during
August both the mine and the mill
closed down. Messrs. Klippel. Nc
Lauglin and Williams lost about $ll 900
on their venture with the pioneer quartz
mill.
The property was afterwards leased to
a party Of Siskiyou county miners who
could not make a go OF it, 80 abandoned
it. Then the mill was moved 10 the Jew.
EFT mine, situated ON the south side Of
Rogue river, owned by the Jewett Bros.
and ID. William Donthitt, ..of jackson.
Vile. At this mine the cleanup shove
the rock to yield $40 per ton and in all
SAC, 900 was pounded out Of the Jewett
claim.
After this mine was exhausted the
old quartz mill was successfully con.
verted into a sawmill and run as such
for a long time. Afterwards it was dis.
mantled and some years later the en-
gine and boiler were moved to Parker's
sawmill on Big Butte creek, where good
service was done by them for a number
