porous season. The Laclede mine,
near Baker has been reopened this
year, and the old Ben Harrison mine
at Sumpter once a large producer,
has been sold to Idaho men who in
tend making extensive developments.
There are not many changes to be
noted In the mining situation in
southwestern Oregon in 1917. The
old Blanco, a beach-sand deposit in
Curry county, between Port Oxford
and Langlais is being equipped with
new machinery to treat 500 tons of
gold-platinum sands daily. The Nell
lie Wright mine near Gold Hill, Jack
son County, was recently sold to Salt
Lake men who are installing compress
sors and drills. The mine has a 25-
ton Beers mill. The Cheney, Sim
mons, Ray and Haff group of quartz
claims in the same county has been
sold to Sacramento California, peo-
pie, who are starting a new 1900

In Josephine county the Grayback
copper group, in Walda district, has
been leased to owners of the Califor-
nia-Oregon Coast railroad, who also
own the Queen of Bronze and the
smelter at Takilma, and development
work on large scale has commenced.
The Queen of Bronze is this year
working 60 men and producing good
grade copper ore. It is expected that
several Of the old mines in Bohemia
district, near Cottage Grove, will be
reopened this year
The Columbia Gold Mines com
pany at Sumpter, Baker county, for
some years a large producer, and
having an extensive reduction plant,
was closed down permanently at the
end of 1916 and this partly accounts
for the reduction in gold output in
Oregon for the first five months of
this year. In Canyon district, Grant
county, the Empire Gold Dredge COM
pany began operations in 1916 and
has continued during 1917 with sue
'cessful results, making the third
'dredge operating in Oregon. There

Totals Not Yet Made Up But
Twelve Thousand Names Are
Believed On Book I,

No figures have been compiled yet on
the unprecedented registration of yot.
ers which ended at midnight Tuesday.
The clerks were so swamped by appli-
cants on Tuesday night that in order
to register them within the legal time
IL became necessary I. to merely make
out their atiidayits and have them sign
the register. The work of filing in the
data necessary on the register from the
affidavits was continued all day yes
terday and no time was. Afddnd for
fluctuations, a. registration of over
10000 voters, however, is belieVea as
sured .t,ssjits Ett + Nntf{f.
II now appears that there will be no
fusther registration after the primary
and before the municipal elections. The
Legislatures set back the general cleo
tion so close TO the primary that the
register, under the rule closing .itt three
weeks before the date of an election,
would be closed before the primaries
took place. ''.5 %--t '. "

FRONTAGE TAX BILL 7
\ BECOMES LAW
Governor Approves Two and
Holds Up Yet Eleven Legis-
lative Measures

Two more legislative bills were sign
ed by the, Governor yesterday at hi,
home, where he is recuperating from
the strenuous labors of the past SEES
sion. These were:
II. B. $40, as Act 23p, entitled: ntAr
Act TO amend Section 1898. 1894
1895, 1876, l7os, 1893, 1900, 1901, 1905
1906 and 1907 Of the revised laws OF
Hawaii, 1905, as amended by Act l64
Of the Session Laws of 1918, relating
to the opening and the improving OF
new or existing highways In the Dis.
trict Of Hoholulup which was intro.
dueed by Representative Cooke.
The new Amendments 10 the front.
age tax law, provided in this measure,
make IL necessary for the munieipality
to assume one-third Of the total cost
of all Improvement projects initiate
by the board of supervisors. Where
projects are initiated by theproperty-
owners the latter must pay the full
one hundred per cent Of the cost Of
the work.
Although this section has been the
most widely discussed in the Cooke
measure, IL is really Of only secondary
Importance. What is regarded as the
most important section concerns the
report Of the engineer on proposed
projects.
Under the law, as it stool, the en-.
gineer 8 report was received, adopted
and published, and after publication
the public hearings were held. No
changes, whatever, could be made In
this adopted report, except by opening
up the whole thing again and going
through all the expensive anil dilatory
steps Of advertising and holding new
hearings.
"a Another important section in the
law, as now amended, defines tho rate
of payments for improvements 10 DE
made by life-tenants, remainder men
and others holding less than fee in
terest in property. That such deter
mination was essential to the success.
full application of the law has been
recognized by the supervisors since The
Manoa Improvement work was under.
taken.
The second measure signed by the
Governor yesterday was s. b. l2g, as
Act 24O, entitled:' can Act to pro-
vide prison labor for public work in
Kapiolani Park and Tantalus Road,
