Lief that Northern California, from

Oregon, from Lane County south,
comprise one and the same mineral
zone, both in respect to geological
origin and variety of mineral pro.
ducts. The absence Of placer mines
in the Bohemia and Blue River dis

largely by the topography Of the
country. On the other hand, there
are also streams in Josephine county

Efforts are being made to unseat
Senator Reed Smoot Of Utah, who is
Mormon. Brigham II. Roberts, re-
preventative from that state, was un-
seated, but Roberts was polygamist
and the cases differ. Smoot is accused
of polygamy but denies 1t stronuously
The mere fact Of being a Mormon is
not sufficient to unsSpt smoot unless
it can be shown that he is disqualified
by his church oath aud this Is denied
by him. In the crusade against
Roberts, the plea was often repeated
that the movement was caused by the
fact that ho was polygamist and not
