GREAT COPPER EMPIRE.
(Continued from flrst page.

surveyors have been put at work, and
an effort Is being made to have con-
struction follow this summer.
While Vinson is laboring to have
the line connect with Baker City, the
interests back of the Iron Dixie and
the ,old Northwestern Railway com
pany are understood to be shaping for
the commencement Of the work on
the route down Snake river.
When the property of the railway
company and mine is sold, which will
be at an early date, there is assurance
that the new interests will take up
the railroad enterprise Immediately.
Local rumor, which is vague yet and
apparently without definite authority,
/ is spreading the news that STANDARD
Oil interests are figuring on both the
Iron Dixie mine and the Snake route
for the railway. This is probably
due to the fact that n. II. Rogers, Of
the STANDARD Oil, alleged that be had
800, 900 mortage on the Cornuco-
pia mine, and is supposed to have
been the person in whose behalf the
redemption was made at|the recent ex :
ecution sale. A railway down the
Snake would be of great value to the
Cornucopia, as this mine at present
must haul concentrates 60 to 70
miles, over rough roads, crossing the
drainage system of the country,
whereas If road was built down
the Snake the wagon haul would be
cut down to 80 to 35 miles, on a
water-level grade. W
The Iron Dixie mine, now about
80 miles from railway depot, has a
great body of copper in sight, of suffl-
cient promise to induce the Ladd
Metals company to commence erect
ing q smelter there. The property,
and that of ]. B. McDougal have an
inviting tonnage.
A railroad running down the Snake
to Billiards. Landing would be the
natural shipping route for the entire
Seven Devils country, where the Ian
dore smelter is treating ore steadily,
and high grade shipping copper is to
be had from several properties. The
haul from the South Peacock, Old Pea
cock, Helena, DEBORAH, Blue Jacket and
other copper mines of the Seven Dew
wills, which have been opened to anv
extent, is from six to 10 miles. all
down hill to Billiards.. The alti-
tude of the Snake at this point is not
to exceed 1000 feet, and snow is
practically unknown there. giving
the section the best climatic condi-
tions for a rail line.
Assurance has been given by the
management of the Pacific & Idaho
Northern that this line is to be OK.

mind where he will at least give the
arguments presented by his guide due
consideration and attention.
As an indication of what this means
let us look at the Kenwood and Glen
Ellen country in Sonoma county, Call
fOrnia, where the sprinkling of roads
with oil was first inaugurated. Many
Of the roads in that vicinity had been
neglected for long time. Aroused to
the necessity for action, the residents
and property owners of that section
organized a good roads club" A
good roads convention" was even held
there, With delegates from many dis
tant points, and in short, the matter
was agItated in every possible way.
The natural result followed.
During the past few years more real
estate has changed hands in that VI
cinity and more desirable new resi-
dents have been brought in than in
any similar period before. The improv-
ed condition of the roads alone may
not have brought about this result, 1t
is true, but it has. beyond doubt, con-
Henry ROlc place, for instance, has
been purchased by Warren English;
the Jcwctt estate has new owner in
the person OF Rudolph Sprcckels, who
Is making 1t one of the show places of
California; ex-senator KcrCnS, the
Utah multimillionaire, has bought the
great Los GuiliCOS ranch. for so many
years the property of William Hood;
Judge Carroll Cook is now the pos
SCISSOR Of the Tarrant ranch, where he
makes his summer home; the Ginella
ranch has been bought by w. ID. Rey
noldS; several small tracts have been
sold off the old Behler property; the
Clark place is now owned by l.. II.
Sly; the Ross property, purchased long
ago by Mrs. Smith, has again changed
hands, the new purchaser being Mr..
Schubert; Louis Kunde recently bought
The old Shaw place; the beautiful home
pf Mrs. YoSt also changed hands not
fong since, the new owners being w,
r. Stearns and NJ, +, Johnson; the old
Warfeld ranch is now the home OF
Will l.. Ashe,
These are only a few of the more i'm
portant real estate changes that have
taken place In the Kenwood and Glen
Ellen country during the time referred
to, but they serve TO illustrate fully the
ruth of the assertions made at the

pieces on both sides and finish off ut
the edges with a fairly thick gold or

sewed firmly to the back and the joins

small pieces of brocade covered card

again the length is determined by the
number of books intended for the
