The Output of the Josephine
Placers Should be Greater
Than Ever Before.

The owners and managers of the
various Josephine county hydraulic
mines have all returned from their
summers outing and are getting
things ready for their regular winters
work. A number of Josephine placers
have undergone extensive improve
ments this summer and will be worked
ON larger scale this coming season
than ever before.
Out at the Big Simmons & Cameron
hydraulic mine, of Waldo, much i'm
provement work has been done this
summer These old placers have
been worked for the past 80 years and
have perhaps produced more gold than
any other hydraulic mine in the state.
They have enough ground in sight to
keep the giants busy for 100 years to
come. The water supply of these
placers is such as TO afford run of
from six to nine months in the year.

that his money has been wisely spent,
and but few seasons will be re-
quired to repay the amount invested.
The Osgood placers consist of several
hundred acres Of rich placer ground
lying along the Illinois river, and
occupying the bed Of an ancient chan
mel. The banks are from 80 TO 10 feet
in depth and carry both fine and
coarse gold. The water supply comes
from the main branch Of the Illinois
river and is of the very best There
is ground enough TO keep the mines
in operation for 80 years or more.
One of the principal features in the
equipment Of this mine, is l200-foot

SYNOD OF OREGON.

The Synod of Oregon will hold its
twelfth annual session in the Bethany
Presbyterian church from Oct. 9th to
18th inclusive. Tho Synod is coterm-
inous with the boundaries of the state
and its membership is constituted of
all the Presbyterian ministers within
its bounds who are members of some
one Of its four Presbyteries and one
elder from each of its churches. The
members of the Synod do not all attend,
however; but there will be between
80 and GO persons at this meeting. The
enrolment may exceed this number.
The present presiding officer, the Mod
orator, is Rev. +. l., Forbes, d. d. Of
Pendleton, principal of the Pendleton
Academy, one of our successful and
growing Presbyterian schools.
The next Moderator will probably
be chosen from among the members of
the Portland Presbytery and may be

THE POSSIBILITIES DEVELOPED.
The success Of the Disc type Of
Graphophone which uses fiat, in.
destructible records, is largely due to
the fact that the Columbia Phono.
graph Company, pioneers and leaders
In the talking machine art, has de-
yeloped the possibilities in both the
machines and tho records beyond all
expectations. II was able TO do this
because it is the only company in the
talking machine field having "a com
plete laboratory and a manufacturing
plant on broad and comprehensive
basis. Its facilities for expcrimen.
tation and for manufacturing are on
very large scale. II does not have
10 rely on inexperienced manu.
facturers for any part Of the product
1t offers for sale. II makes its own
machines and its own records from
start to finish which is fundamental
advantage Of the first magnitude.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at Sl5, eco and

Extensive Improvements Made.

put in to elevate the waste dirt and
boulders. Mr., Meredith has just got
to his best paying grounds and hopes
to do n better business this coming
winter than he has ever done before.
Three giants will be operated.
The Old Channel Mines, out at
Galice, have everything ready at their
big placers to begin work whenever
water is afforded. The mines will
be in better shape for work this win
ter than ever before. Three giants
will be operated, and the rich gulch
diggings will be worked. It is here
that the famous placer bank, which
has attracted the attention of mining
men from everywhere, is situated.
This big bank has length of 1900
feet, and a height where it is being
piped of $50 feet. Such bank as
this can only be worked from dis
tance of 400 feet, requiring a pressure
of 500 feet in the giants. This great
bank carries values all tho way from
the grass roots to the bedrock, carry
ing fine gold in the clay carping and
coarse gold in the lower stratas. The
Old Camel Mines, as their name indi-
Gates, occupy the bed of an old camel
or ancient river, This channel is
over five miles in length, all of which
is covered by the Old Camel com
pany and has q width of from one half
to three-quarters of mile.
Manager w. II. Hampton, of the
Columbia placers, of the Grave creek
district, has everything in readiness
for work, He will operate two and
three giants in the diggings this year.
Three other giants are required. to
operate the elevator for removing the
waste. One of the excellent features
of these placers is the electric light
plant. A number of large arc lights
are suspended above the diggings and
make the working ground as light as
day for night work. The banks of
these placers are gray and red gravel,
carrying values in fine and coarse
gold. They occupy the bed of an
ancient channel

And rivers that to ocean roll
Through lands where scenes delight

Where nature varied beauty lends,
And luck on worthy toll ATTENDS,
In counties by the traveller seen
Like Lane and golden Josephine.
Thy boys are kings Of mirth and play,
And thy girls bright, among the gay /;
The gray haired men. who blazed the

The heroes Of the former day,
That bravely drove the savage back
And boldly walked In dangers track
When Oregon was Wild and new,
In numbers now are growing few;
Their ranks are thinned, nor long

Those landmarks of our country's
past.
Fair Oregon with forests grand,
Where ancient trees like monarchs
stand
In yerdant vale, and mountain glen,
Watching the centuries come In.
Oh glorious State, in land so free
Abroad with love we turn to thee,
Thy tons and cities oft allure.
Portland will flourish and endure,
And stately ships, like gods. from sea
That nobly breast the gale.
Will up Willamette sail
And In her docks will often be;
To her will inward pour tho trade
From Spanish Maine. to rude cascade,
Beautiful city Of the west,
In state by God forever blest,
With climate healthfnl, pure and rare
And all that will so well compare,
The land that teens with wheat and

And fruit that spring renews again;
This wealthy state with mines of gold
Reminds Of ophir famed Of old.
