Indemnity School Land.
II is the opinion of the board that
most of the money received on in
demnity school land selected on in
valid base has been repaid and that
further repayments on this class Of
lands will be small.
on account of the creation Of
seven forest reserves in eastern Ore
gon, the state has aequired a large
acreage of valid base. on June 27,
1905, the price OF indemnity school
was advanced from So to So per
acre, and on April "a, 1906, from SO
10 $3.50 per acre, and large numbers
of applicants are being received at
the latter price.
II is the duty OF the governor,
through the state land agent to select
vacant government lands TO satisfy
the losses incurred by the creation OF
these reserves, but as there is no
fund available for paying the ex-
pense of discovery and cruising of
such lands, the governor, with the I
approval OF the board. has followed

FRANCES MOHAWK SURE OF
BIG BODY OF HIGH GRADE

Ore shipments will soon be resumed
from the Frances Mohawk lease on the
Jumbo Extension. The station on the
500-foot level has been completed and a
crosscut has reached the rich ore body
that dips into the Frances Mohawk lease
from the Begole lease on the Mohawk.
The Begole is a sub-lease on the old
Kalfus block and is shipping ore from
the high grade vein that was worked
by the Kalfus and later by the Mohawk
Combination which Is a consolidation
of the Kalfus and the Ish-Sheets leases.
The Begole leasers have followed the
ore to the side lines OF the Jumbo Ex-
tension where II was found to dip into
the Frances Mohawk lease block. SO that
the latter is sure of getting it's share
OF the rich pickngs. 1t is the opinion
OF engineers that this vein forms juno
tion with the Mohawk vein in the Fran
ces Mohawk ground and an immense
body Of ore is looked for when the point
of contact is found.
Drifts have been started on the
hanging wall of the vein and at the
same time the crosscut is being pushed
through to the footwall.

An upraise is now forty feet from the
floor of the level and the winze that is
