Two Lsdses Tho, Shaw Up Well.

Two Lodges That Shaw Up Well.
4. G. Patton. was in Grants Pass
Monday from Placer. Mr.. Patton, In
partnership with J. H. Mills, is
operating placer mine ON Grave
creek, eight miles above Leland.
They are also developing quartz
property on Jordan gulch, tributary
Of upper Grave creek, and one on the
head of Checto, just over the line in
Curry county. Mr.. Patton spent the
fall and winter up to Christmas in
charge Of the development of work
on the Chetco claim. but having his
foot severely injured by a falling
rock, he came out and SO soon as he
was able to resume work, he took
charge Of their Grave creek properties
and Mr.. Mills went to Chetco, where
he now is. and will remain until
spring. Mr.. Mills has two men help
ing him and he is opening up the
ledge, which shows to be very high
grade copper ore.
Mr.. Patton, with two men assisting
in the work, operates their placer
claim. when there is water. the re-
maiuder Of the time is put in on their
quartz claims Of which there are FIVE.
He is now driving a tunnel on the
lower ledge and has 1t in 60 feet.
The width Of the ledge has not been
asoertained yet as he has not caught
either wall with the tunnel. The
ore looks we'll and is uniform in
values Of about $S per ton. Develop.
ment work will be continued for some
time yet to more fully open up the
ledge and learn its extent and values.
OF property that is being opened
by A. ]. Bennett and Tbos. Maxim
on the opposite side Of the hill from
their claims, Mr.. Patton stated that a
crosscut was being run by Messrs.
Bennett g. Maxim to hit the ledge on
a lower level from their present sur
face workings. Some rich stringers
had been found but the main ore body
had not been reached but 1t was
thought not over 10 feet Of tunnel
would be required to reach the ledge.
Work on this tunnel is only carried
on when, during the dry spells, there

JONES CREEK HATCHERY
Little Salmon Will Soon Make
Their Appearance.

Salmon eggs are still being taken at
the Jones creek hatchery, though tho
number secured in the past two weeks
has been comparatively few. They
have now taken u total Of about
/, 800, 600 eggs of which by far tho
greater number are silversides.
The time required for Matching
varies from 40 to 90 days according
to the temperature Of the water. and
1t will be some two or three weeks
yet before the little fish begin to ap-
pear. In some of the eggs taken
earlier, however, the form of the lit
tie fish are plainly discernible and
they may some times be seen indulg-
ing in little wriggles inside the trans
parent casing of the egg. After
Matching the young salmon will be
kept three or four weeks before being
liberated.

You mentioned in your let ter about MT Foote. I have seen none of that company since September, ex- cept Bishop. He spent the first part of the winter here, and left, I should think, before the flood, and I have seen nothing of him since. The oth- CTS, with FOote, went to the Feather river, where they expected to winter. Stoddard expects Seth and wife to come out. 1 have concluded not to send for you to come alone, for you know we can return after I get home. But, to be in earnest, 1 should hardly want to leave here in some time, if my little family was only with me. My receipts for work this month will be about S350. I often think of Philo Northrop and others that now ought to be here.
 March 28. Since commencing this letter, I find opportunity to buy a draft, which is much cheaper and per- haps will be more convenient for you. I buy tbis at only three per cent ad- vance, which 1 think is much better than sending the dust. The weather for two or three days has been very warm, which makes one look towards the mountains which are yet white with snow. I often think I should like some of the pure water and air among them. This city is certainly the most filthy place that can be thought of. CarcasseS of mules and cattle are strewn all about it,and that, with all the other fish, is monstrous The water in the river is of course not tains perhaps I may not have opportu- mites to send monthly as has been my custom.

 1 have received one letter from Asa since my letter to you dated January g, for which am under great obliga- tions. They all came free. I want you to write me something every month. shall not start for the mines, l think, in some weeks, until the wa ter is some lower in the rivers. I am doing what, perhaps, might be called in the states fair business at my en- ployment. l can count every Saturday night S7O clear of all expenses, and one week I worked five days and three evenings and was paid $128 in gold. The evenings l was paid the same as one day, that is, one ounce or S16, and no fault found and meals furnished extra. This work was done on the steamer Linda of 40-horse power en- zine. We altered her machinery from cast iron gear, to go with belts This was done the first week in March. Since then we have been employed on the new theater. Two of them are building here. One of them is over 100 feet long. My work is putting up fixtures, machinery, etc. Some of it is on plan of my own and much ap- proved of by the proprietors. The theater opens tomorrow evening for the first time. I am offered a free ticket and think of going, otherwise l should stay at home. Since the in. undation, perhaps no place on the wide earth ever equaled this for rapid. ity of growth. Vessels of the largest size can now come up with lumber
 which is now plenty and very cheap say $1O0 per thousand. Large, fine stores are fast taking the place of can vas ones. Rents continue to be very high.
