Katfered in the Postofflco ,t Medfor.1, Qregon as Second-Class Mail Matter. Medford, Fridat. Peij. 1Q, 18H8. The bill to repeal the mortgago tax lair, with a deduction fir in debtedness clause, has passed the ecnate. rr: . ,ll As we were about to remark : How do you like the appearance of the first pige of The Mail? In thf yernacular peculiar to this jinmo-. diate vicinity, isn't that anv head ing "out of sight?" The Medfqkd Mail has changed hands and conies to th's office in a whoop-er-up, all-alive spirit. A. S. Biiton, a good Tersatil.o writer, i.- the publisher, and the. .Star wishes the Mail success Klamath Falls .Star.- ' , ' ' - ' The Columbian postage -stamp bids fair to be of short life. Con gress has asked the Post master General to order the discontinuance of their manufacture. Congress does well. The average business roan has many vocations to which he" aa apply himself other than lhat of sticking saddle blanket pos tage stamps to letters. ,as you not assist a little in se curing for Medford a good Business College? "Nothing is more desired in any town or city thai) good I schools. Subscriptions are not due until building is completed. If the committee does not call upos? you, aod you fell you can help the mat ter along, just stp into Tan Mail office where a copy of the sub aeriptioa paper may be seen. .

Wallace, of Tacoma, Washington. f f Senator Mitchell's bill passes congress this fool excuse of hypno tizing which some people oiler as . an excuse for their wrong doings, and which is on a par with the "Hinder-tow" fake, will to a certain extent pass into the garret of stored ' away fooiith idiosyncrasies. Here is bis bill: - "To prohibit electro-magnetizing, v mesmerizing or hypnotizing human ' beings', or 'affecting cne person . through another by ejectricty, and to declare the same to be a crime - against the la w of nations, and to " define its punishment." President Harrsion has appoint ed Judge Jackson, a Tennessee dem ocrat, to the position of Justice on the supreme bench to succeed the late L.' Q. C. Lamar. There are many and varied opinions as to why he appointed a democrat. The opinions are so plentiful that we can each have one ,of our own. The reason given by the President is that owing to the opposition to himself of a few republicans in the senate the confirmation of a re publican could not be ' expected, hence the recommn lation of a democrat. ;, . " Nearly every newspaper in t ne . county is jumping onto BepreBeua tive Vandeburg's back for intro ducing a bill which would - compel the county proceedings of each county" to . be printed and posted on bill-boards -and bridge-coverings instead of haying them printed in . newspapers as is now being done. The gentleman we tljink is being jumped onto too bard. We don't believe the bill originated with bjm, but instead originated in the mind of some narrow, pinched-up conr stituent who has a fool idea that the. newspapers are robbing the counties. Vandeburg knew the bill wouldn't pass, but introduced it for the sake of serenity af home. ' .' -7- . The Albany Democrat gives the Oregonian a prod in . this ride over what appears to the Democrat to be an uncalled for derogatory report as to the depth of water on the Yd' quina bar. At a very opportune time and when the chances for the extension ef the Oregpn Pacific raijroad looks most favorable the great monopolist journal of the state begins pouring hot shots at Yaquina bay, that railroad's sea port terminus. While the Oregonian is supposed to be a journal pubr lished for the good of the state en tire ifs idea of the state's magnitude does not extend outside the incor porate limits of Portland. Any thing that tends not to the good of that city the Oregonian is "agin." Many ooajt to.vus will bear us lout in this assertion. Any railroad east and west through the state of Oregon is a direct injury to Port land, hence the On-goniau's oppo sition. This one is just a little worse than the one on Senator Veatch who Wted no on roll call. Last week at ?aIMj the house of Representa tives iras considering the session appropriation bill and Representa tive Reltj surprised evcry-body by offering an amendment that the bill should not apply to Umatilla county. This heroic offer to forego his salary met with universal ap probation, and when Goer of Marion $ropo ed that the amedment be unanimously concurred in, Belts knew by the laugh which went round that he had made a mistake of some kind. He explained that he thought the bill applied to dogs, and was unanimously allowed to mthdrav his amendment Almost any kind of talk you happen to te looking for is rife in our city regarding the out-come of the transfer of the Rogue River Valley railroad, but the conclusion arrived at in most instances is that j no individual or corporation cares to tie up forty or fifty thousand dollars in five miles of railroad with no better prospects for a direct div idetid than is at present showing itself is this road. With this thought in mind the sequel is easily read, and is nothing mora nor less than a very probable extension from Medford to a point on the east at least as far as the sugar pine timber belt. The benefit that this will pro ye to be to our city can only be estimated by those familiar with tbe extent of this timber tract and the various uses to which it can be put in the manufacture of fine fur niture, stor fixtures and other articles. Withbe advent of this extension, that principal manufac ture of this lumber will be con ducted in Medford g06B without saying. Tbe amount of money its construction and maintainanca will place in circulation is of no small importance to think of in figuring on the direct benefit to be derived. To-day will finish the soliciting committee's work in the matter of securing subscriptions to the Busi ness College. The people of Ash land have made Prof. Bigby a prop osition which must either be accep ted or rejected to-morrow. The city of Medford has no idea of allowing this institution to leave its present location, but it is quite necessary that we secure the required amount at once. If we are to loose the Bus iness College now after maintaining it for a year it would be better had we never have had it it will react to the city's injury in a way not most desired. Prof. Rigby's proposition is a liberal, business like one and such as no person can raise the slightest objection to. He proposes to erect a building, to cost not less than $3,000, and to conduct therein a commercial school and business college, but before doing this be asks our people to donate to him $1,500. Subscriptions not due until after the building is comple ted. This, in our opinion, is a fair and sauare Drorjosition and we can I see no reason why our people should not put their shoulders to the wheel and push the project. A pretty goed sized book of abeut two inches in thickness is the report of the State .Board of Chari ties 01 wmcn J. he mail Has re ceived a copy. It is a finely gotton up affair and contains much that would be interesting reading in the absence of art almanac er a last year's seed catalogue, but when we peruse its pages and feast (?) our eyes upon the cuts of tbe various different styles of eity and county bastiles throughout the state, un derneath which is written the ped igree of these institutions, color and condition of their occupants and the family history of the, in many cases, imaginary vermin which abide therein, we forget the loyalty tp charities taught us in childhood days and with one desperate effort this volume of worthlessness, which cost the state, if the figures as given 1 out be true, $3,751.72, is thrown in ' to the darkest corner of our office and will never again be brought to light, unless we should at some distant day delve into the mys teries of said corner in quest of a spring poem.. If the legislators were to abolish at once and without ceremony, the Board of State Chari ties, tjiey would at least earn the nterest on their per diem, even though they did nothing more. The Mail belieyes that Oregon has representation at her state capitol who have minds in which are incul cated firmly the principles of right and we feel satisfied such burden some extravagance as this board will be handled to the interest of tax -payers tbe one method being that of abolishing it entire. If criminals who come into our fire sides and murder our loved ones. burn our homes and steal our wares ? to be handled with gloved hands and our state is to pay a board of charities near $G,000 an nually to soe that these felons are treated and cared for with luxuries which many who pay tbe tax dare not hope to enjoy, then most as suredly there is too great a premium being paid for crime. MINES AND MINTSO. Messrs. Beckmau vfc IIofTcr con template putting in a ten stamp mill at their Jackson creek mine. Some rich prospects are being found in the Cleveland ledge at the head of Wagner creek, ihev are in 15 feet on the tunnel. The Hope Mining Co. expect soon to re-oaganue and start mining op erations on their mine which turned out from 14,000 to 15,000 when op crated before. Ihe money was squandered in extravagant manage ment which discouraged the owners A Mr. Hendricks, of Black Re publican mine from back in Ne vada. having disposed of his inter est in the mine, for the snug stun of $80,000, was making a tour of inspection through tho Rogue river valley last week with bis mineral eye open to catch all indications of rich "digging. The Stockton Iron Works will have several of Inventor Moffit's new process for reducing rebellious ores built by March 1st. 1 uey will not be put on the market, but will be run on the royalty plan. Mr. Moffit will send an agent to select a mine and if satisfactory will put a mill on it and crush the ore for 10 per cent of the net profits. This will surely revolutionize quartz mining if it should prove a success and it is claimed it will. The mill proper weighs about one ton and will crush d6 tons of ore per day. 'Quarts" Smith is reported to have' struck a rich find in his re cent dcvelopement of the old Gold Hill mine. It is not given out as to just what he has found, but from the pleased expression which con tinually spreads over his phix one ib lead to believe it is the yellow in good quantities that causes this un usual ripple. If any one man more than another deserves to find a for tune it is this man Smith. The Mail .hopes his greatest anticipa tions may be realized. It will be remembered that in '8S tbe mine known as the Golden Spike, ou Wagner creek, was given up as worthless. Later develop ments prove this to have been a mistake as a five-stamp mill in tweuty-six days run cleaned up near $7,000 from this mine. Mr. C. F. Lowi was one of the old com pany which gave up the mine and he gives as his opinion that had there not been some hokus-pokus manage ment the mine even then could have been made to pay. He gives this example in support of his theory that there are other mines in this - locaity which were aban doned in early days that could be made to pay if properly managed. Mr. C. F. Lewis returned last Thursday from Foot's creek, at which place he has been engaged in putting up a hoisting engine and boiler for Miles Standish. Mr. Stand ish's mine is about ten miles from Gold Hill. He is down . fifty feet with a shaft and finds a bed of rich gold bearing gravel. It was supposed that the top ledge through which Mr. Standish has sunk his shaft was bed rock, but such proves to be a mistake. Everything about this mine is now in shape to begin work and only moderated weather and a little less snow is needed te insure immediate operations. Mr, Lewis reports there being many rich placer claims on .this creek, but lack of water prevents them be- ine worked iust at present.' This gentleman is agreeably surprised with the mining outlook and ean see no reason why we need not look for great developments. GUNN'S IKPROVZD MVER PILLS ONLY 0KE FORM DOSE A WORD TO LADIES.
