SUPPLEMENT TO THE DFORD MAIL FLASHES FROM. PHOENIX. Mrs. A. Lamb paid Ashland a visit Saturday. J. B. Hendershott was in town a few days ago with his fine horse. Mr. and Mrs. John Wright were up to Ashland last Friday on busi ness. Miss Ida Xayler was visiting her sister, Mrs. I. B. Griffin, in Phomix, on last Sunday. James Briner has returned to Beaver creek, after a pleasant visit with friends here. Mrs. Riley Xyswaner was visiting in Phoenix last Saturday, the guest of Mrs. John Wright. Mr. Ship and I. Calhoun, of An telope district, were over this week visiting relatives and friends. There are several idle men around Phoenix, who. no doubt, will get work when the railroad starts. Marion Stewart is having several acres of oak grubs taken oif his ranch, to be replaced with fruit trees. School will close next Friday. An entertainment will be given at that time by the scholars. Every body should attend, -v Mr. Calhoun has taken possession of the property he bought in Phoe nix, and moved his household ef fects in the first of the week. Melvin Naylor came in from Jenney creek last Sunday. He re ports lots of snow out there yet and about three or four feet on the sum mit. Miss Lily Crichlow was .up from Medord Sunday to spend a day with her mother. Miss Anna was also down from Ashland to visit her mother. Harry Mathes went over on Ap plegate last week, where his father . is feeding a large lot of cattle. He reports lots of 6now and a bad out look for the stock. Mr. A. Tassel went down to Med ford Saturday to consult Dr. Stod dard in regard to his eye, which is affected with catarrh and gives him a great deal of trouble. I. W. Wiley delivered several head of fat cattle to Hosley D. Mur phy, of the Ashland meat market, last week, that he had been feeding for them for several months. They were in fine condition. A remonstrance is out against a county road being established through the land of Mrs. Hamlin and Mr. Bennett. The hitter has only ten acres, set out iu fruit, and the road would be a great damage. Harry Delong, who arrived here a few days ago, contemplates erect ing a first class shingle mill some where in the valley. There is no question but what it would be a paying investment Miss Mina Stoups. who has been at Ashland for several months, staying with her Uncle's family, II. B. Carter, returned home this week to remain. Mrs.-Robert Deveney has gone to Ashland to remain a short time with her daughter, Mrs. Wolters. In the meantime Mr. Col. Stead man has taken charge of affairs in the Deveney household during her absence. Mrs. B. C. Goddard. an old 'sel ler and highly respected lady,5 liv ing near Talent, died last Saturday and was buried Sunday, in the Tal ent cemetery. Deceased was the mother of Mrs. II. Coleman, who lives near here. Capt. Smith, who owns a twenty acr tract one mile below Phoenix, is having the same grubled out and intends putting out fruit. The captain is getting along in years, but manages to get in a whole lot of work as time goes on. A number of Phoenixites are making arrangements to visit the C. C. C. immediately, to get garden seeds to plant, as the, climate here is so much later than Crooked creek, we imagine that fresh seeds raised this year are the best to put out. We hope your last weeks corres pondent from Talent will continue his communications to Thk Mail, as Phoer.ixites are glad to hear from there, especially from so good a writer, also C. C. C's items are well received here, manr having acquaintances on Grillin creek. A young hoodlum, whose parents are said to reside at Sisson. and who has been making Phoenix bis headquarters for sometime, made an attempt to hold" up our express agent, Mr. Soule, last Saturday evening. It was just dark and' when Mr. Soule was going from the depot to town that the attempt ed hold-up performance was enact ed. While passing the warehouse Mr. S. was confronted by tht lad and demanded to hold up his hands, at the same time producing a re volver. Mr. S. didn't hold up as readily as was expected, but in stead compelled the would be Jessie of the James gang, to show up from his hiding place, under the ware house, and remove his mask. The mask was turned over to Manafraid ofabear to be used as a protection against the festive Bruin family. The boy has a hard name and had better absquatulate, vamose the ranch. He has since left here. Maxakkaidokabkak. Advertised Letter List. The followlnir Is the list of letters remaining uncalled for in the Medford, Or., postottlcw ou March. .TO. WW: Armstrong. J. A.

Stanley, from the Home stake mine near Woodville, reports work in the mine progressing with very satisfactory results. Good rock is taken from ihe tunnel, and the mill will b started in May. Wm. Grav and I'.iily Short are busy prosjH-cting their quartz lead on Coleman gulch. The rock lojks well, although there is a consider able base metal in it. The ledge is about two feet wide. From our Phoenix correspondent. Alex. Orme is doing no small amount of work on his mines on both Galls and Foots creeks. He rcxrts the prospects glowing with a hue that is peculiar to the yellow metal. The past winter he says has been just what was needed for the development of mining inter ests plenty of snow in the moun tains and consequently plenty of water in the creeks and gulches. E. Stevens, a gentleman who re sides iu the vicinity of Woodville, was in Meilford Saturday, and from him we heard that the mining ex citement was running high in that locality. Himself, together with E. M. Hill, own the Mount Fielder ledge and are now at work develop ing it. Last year cosiderable work was done and some good ore was taken out, but this year they have already run in with a seventy foot tunnel, and while they have not as yet struck the main ledge they are confident of a rieh find when they do reach it. This ledge is near the celebrated Stanley mine. While the gold excitement is run ning at a high temperature, little attention is given to other mineral finds, hut a well defined vein of an thracite coal is a find that will one day out rank them all. E. Pleas ant. D. L. Mutton, Sam'l and J;s. G ray, who reside on Elk creek, claim to have found such a . mine and are only waiting for facilities, such as a railroad, before opening up the mine and producing their excellent coal in ;nmense quanti ties. They have only ojened up the mine a short distance but have found a four foot vein of a very su perior quality 'f this coal. Angle A 1'lymalt- have received their new ami elegant stock of dress goods. C. I). TYalrath is wrathy. and he has every reason to he so. Some mis erable cur a blot on God's green earth is almost nightly venting his spleen on this gentleman by tearing pickets form his fence, on C street. Should this infection of low-lived meanness continue the perpertrator will take home one of these nights a billet of lead that will not be citsy to digest. Walla Walla garden seed at the Racket. Millinery goods cheaper than ever before at Mrs. C W. 1'aliu's. Fruit jars at Davis & l'ottcti gcrs' Woodville Warbles. Fanners are very busy if anyone should ask you. Work on the Phantom mine has been pttKined for a while 4 Mrs. W. V. Jones, who has been visiting- her mother, returned Sunday. Rev's. ti.leman and Crook held quar terly communion service here. Sunday. W. V. Jones, our popular merchant, made a flying visit to Grants I'ass. Tuesday evening. The Home Slalte Mining Co., of which A. J. Stanley is an owner, are taking out some rich ore. S. Simpkins has returned from hi. trip to Jurup-OiT-Joe where he ha :iu interest in a quartz ledge. I'rofs. B. R. Stevens and Sam Sheri!. returned from Phoenix this evening where they have been leaching school. Mrs. F.d. Shofliin. who has been pav ing friwnds here, a visit, will leave in the morning for her home in Alameda. Calif. Quite a number of the young people of this vicinity gathered at the resi dence of F- Stevens one evening last we-k bent on having -a good time. Judging from the amount of noise made, and the number of oyster cans opened, we verily believe they had it. The fun was kept up till the "wee 'sma hours." Quite a surprising event took place here this evening in the form of a dmihle wedding. Squire Simpkins of ficiating. G. J. Tyeer.-ind Miss M at tie Magrele. and Frank Gilmore and Miss Hattie Gilmore. were the principal parties. Their numerous friends wish them a long and prosperous life. Jas. Hums, who is well known in this section, both in miuinu and social cir cles, met with a serious, if not fatal accident, w hile engaged in piping ou Louse creek, on Monday evening. He had rolled several bowlders out from under the bank and was in the act of rolling out another, when the bank gave way. Jimmy saw it and staruti to run. but it was too late. A hug. mass of earth and stones caught him by the legs, throwing him violently t the ground, breaking one leg and his lower jaw. besides fracturing his skull and bruising him ui generally. He was taken to Grants lass where he lies in a critical condition. Wooo Ciiopi'KK. Jury List April Term.
