opera house Friday night, was at

ing the popularity of the subject. Mr.
Finley explained the efforts which
the state is making to restock the de-
pleted covers of many of the districts
with game birds and animals, show
ing many views OF the state game
farm, and of the methods employed
in propagating the various varieties
.of pheasants. His views taken Of
the wild fowl in their natural haunts
were of exceeding beauty and inter
est. and gave many of the spectators
a better idea of the bird life in the
state of Oregon.
Following the popular address and
the lantern views, meeting was
held with local sportsmen and others
interested in game protection, and
the warden outlined the work of his
office, and sought to obtain the CO.
operation of all here in proper OBJ
seryation Of the game and fish laws.
Such a game and fish protective as
sociation had already been organized
here, and that, together with the gun
club, will lend assistance.
MIR Finley said that he thought
that the China pheasant would do
we'll In southern Oregon, and he
agreed that a supply to stock this
district would be sent in by the state
game commission.

BLACK SANDS YIELD
RICH VALUES IN GOLD.

Messrs. C. II. Eddy, president, and
+. j. Keller, secretary and treasurer
OF the Ohio-Oregon Land & Power
Co., having holdings of placer ground
In the Grave creek country, were in
the city Friday on business connect
ed with the company The company
has recently changed management
and plans extensive development
work.
The Standard Reduction Co. of this
city is also part of the holdings of
the organization The Reduction
company is equipped for saving the
values from the black sands that are
lost in the placers as usually operat-
ed. A test run made this week on
200 pounds OF the black sands from
a well known placer gave a button
containing within nine grains of an
ounce, or at the rate OF nearly 5000
per ton. II is estimated that the
llacers OF southern Oregon have been
Losing more than one-half of the val
ues in the fine gold going through
with the black sands, and the Stan
dard people are trying to interest the
placer miners and have the concent-
rates brought here for treatment by
their process which they claim will
save nearly 80 per cent of the values
There has been some thought of NOV
ing the plant to the property at Le-
land, but If some interest could be
shown here the gentlemen say that
II will be maintained and a general
custom business done, the concen-
trates brought in from the placers to
be treated on percentage basis. The
reduction works has a capacity of 25
tons every "a hours, and the placer
miners would do we'll to investigate
and bring sample ton or so of their
concentrates to the company for
treatment Equipment is also on
hand and will be installed for the
reduction of refractory ores OF this
section at a cost much less than the
present smelter charges.

ROGUE VALLEY CREAMERY

The Rogue Valley creamery was
formally launched at the Saturday
meeting when the completion of the
organization was effected, and the
plans for the successful building and
operation of butter-m making plant of
magnitude were formulated.
Finally bringing all of the many
little details into harmonious
whole, the committees that have
been working upon the creamery pro-
ject for the past month have evolved
an organization that will be win
ner. All the best features of the
creameries that have met with sue
cess have been considered and their
provisions are incorporated in the
bylaws of the Rogue Valley institu-
tion. At the Saturday meeting a
board of nine directors was elected
to have the management of the in
stitution, the board consisting Of the
following named stockholders S. H.

Gilkey, c. D. Wolverton S. H. Baker,

Hill was elected president; c. D.
Wolverton, vice president; S. II. Bak-
er secretary, and H. L. Gilkey,
treasurer.
A majority of the $4,000 capital
stock has already been subscribed,
and a committee was named to dis
pose of the balance as rapidly as
possible.
\ second committee was named to
engage the services of competent
creamery manager and butter-maker,
and he will be employed as soon
as the proper man can be found.
The building of the creamery
building and the installation of the
equipment will proceed as soon as
the necessary details can be arrang-
ed, but that the farmers can get the
benefits of the new institution at the
earliest possible moment, cream
routes will be established at once,
and arrangements made with another
creamery to handle the cream after
It has been gathered till the local
creamery is In operation. This action
is taken that the farmers can COM
mence building up their dairy herds
at once and so have a good volume
OF business ready for the Rogue Val
ley creamery from the minute IT
opens It's doors.
