The sbowinj; of nn iuerense of over. 100 per cent in one branch in five months is an indication that a i.iiv 5 liii'ronslne ranidly in busi ness and imputation. The revenues of the Pacific Tele phone company from its toll lines in tho Medford exchange have grown durinc the past five months from a little over $.100 in June to nearly SS00 in October, and the November business will show a corresponding increase. These revenues arc those derived from long-distauco calls alone, and the local exchange shows an equal increase. The company has made much im provemcnt in its service lately, eliminating the old" ten-p"arly lines as fast as possible, and have expended $40,000 in improvements during the iiast season and will use $20,000 more during tho next 90 days. The presence of H. T. Parkinson and Mr. Constantino of tho traffic department of the company enr!y this vrcek shows that Medford is get ting a place on the telephone mnp, and that her itniortnncc is such that she has a right to and will demand a first-class service, and this now seems to he the intention of tho com pany to furnish.

Fearing that the surviving miners of the St. Paul mine disaster will start riot iug when the bodies of the victims nre brought to the surface, two com panics of state militia arrived here early today and have surrounded the mine shaft. The miners are in an ugly mood because they claim that tho company officials sacrificed lives in order to shvo property. Another company is being held in readiness at Monmouth and will be hurried to this town in case their services aro needed. Captain nail, who is commanding the troops, offered the services of his men to assist in recovering the bodies, and most of tho soldiers have laid aside their anns and gone to work. Although thero is considerable restlessness apparent among the miners, they have not resorted to nny violence. TEACHERS AND STUDENTS FIGHT TO SAVE SCHOOL KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Nov. 17.

FULTON HAND S IT TO HENEY 0 Before' tha Oregon Bar Association, Ex-Senator Fulton Bitterly Denounces-the Trial. " (United Press Leased Wire.) PORTf-iND, Or., Nov. 17. In speaking of the report thnt Francis J. ITeney had been appointed an as sistant attorney-general to prosecute land-fraud cases in Oregon, the speech of ex-Senntor Charles V Fulton before 300 members of the Oregon Bar association yesterday created a sensation. Without allusion to Judge Dunn or Francis J. Honey by nnme, he cx- corciated the trial judge and prose cutor in the case of the People of California ugaiust Eugene Schmitz, saying that the prosecutor was un fair an dthat the trial judge showed a disregard of the rights of the de fendant to n fair and impartial jury. He said the appellate court did only its duty when it reversed the verdict of guilty against former Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco. Fulton suid in pnrt: "I state without any reservation whatever, as a result of careful reading and consideration of the de cision, that had the court failed to decide as it did, it would havo dis credited itself and the judiciary of the country. "They could not have decided oth erwise without violating their of ficial ouths nnd pleading guilty to a degree of cowardice and pusillnuim- ty that would have justly earned for them tho enduring contempt of the bench and bar of the nation. "I do not contend thnt the record disclosed the innocence of Schmitz. I do contend, however, that he was entitled to a fair nnd impartial trial and thnt tho record disclosed not only that ho had been denied such, ut that the character of the trial in the lower court, in its ullor disregard of the most simple and elementary principles of justice nnd decency, was rarely if over surpassed by Jef frey in his most vigorous and vi cious examples of judicial tyranny and depravity." Local Men Organize Company for Purpose of Developing Mining Property In Southern Oregon. In the early days of goiu discov ery in Southern Oregon, u certain crunk in Josephine county was a jo 1ft! among tho miners--that is, those of the tcudcrfeet who attempted to dig the yellow metal from its bars wen1 termed suckers. Pretty soon some' of the "mioU ers" begun to find rich claims along the creek, but the "old channel," which corresponds to the "mother lode'' in the nuurU districts, hud never been found. Nor was it be cause it hud not been sought for, that the Murce of the big iiuggos and coarse gold, which were a fea ture of the placers along the creek had not been discovered, for the mountains surrounding from its head to its mouth art honeycombed with holes sunk by prospectors in their senrch for the hidden source of wealth, but this particular stretch of the creek was left untouched. Nature kept her secret until re cently, and perhaps has revealed on ly a portion of it now, but that por tion was sufficien to interest parties looking for mining investments and to cause an investigation. Accord ingly a mining engineer was sent to the headwaters of the creek and there he found a placer proosition that was beyond anything found tu this section for years. The property consists of five claims, extending along the creek for nenrly a mile, comprising 100 acres, with timber thereon for the needs if the mine for nil time to come. In prospecting the property, one nugget weighing 24 ounces was tak en out, and good wnges were made with pick and shovel. As an experi ment, an inexperienced man was set at work and he took out gold to the value of 18 ier day for the three consecutive dn.s ho worked. Part of this property has been worked by the former owners in a primitive way, and from an area of t20x3() feet over $1850 in gold wis taken, nnd it is safe to say that had modern md(hol of f.-olil-wiviti- been e-ipl"- et', the amount would have ic.ichod .-rfiOOO. Tli grpund is all virgin ground, u i j .ospecls irom the grass roots down. Indeed, in very few places hnvc'the miners found bedrock along' the line of the creek owned by the company. A company of local business men has been formed to work tho mine and will install a complete modern plant. The company is composed of Wal ter F. Ran. J.' W. Dressier, Elliott Doggett, J. W. Greenall, Fred- T. Os born nnd John O. McClure. Their main office will be ut Medford at the Hotel Moore and all purchases for the mine and also the payroll will be bundled from this city.
