The Talent News man, while he claims no kin to tho famous Nye, whose front name is Bill, is a gonius in his way, and although he claims no relationship to the tribe of Billies, above mentioned we are willing to make a very hard guess that he, Nye and the big mama bear, with a long red tongue, have all eaten salal berries from the sanio bush. Below we give the gentleman's ac count of his visit to Spook Hollow where graveyards yawu and tumb stones turn pale and faint "dead away" with fear of tho gobbling' weird, ghost-liko maneuvers. He goes into a tranco and a ghost ap pears beforo him and he asks the white clad man of spirits not fer menti to disclose the future of Talent a century hence, and this is what he tells: "Verily, the hamlet of Talent hath a wonderful future. ith my trained eyes I will peer through the mists of the century to come and thou shalt knpw tho truth. Knowest thou that the growth of a city dependeth upon the mighty men that dwefl therein? Verily, there are many valiant men in Tal ent and they have great possesions ; but their desire lyeth not in the way of building cities. One would sell all that he hath and journey to afar country, yea to the city of Oakland; another selleth goods in the market place and maketh ba con of swine's flesh, yea the flesh that was condemiued under the Law ; the desire of another is to thresh out the grain that grow eth in the valley; another putteth his shekels into banks and the town seeth them not. The mighty captain of the tribe of Populists looketh afar off for greater honors that the tribe may give unto him; another liveth the forlorn life of a batchelor and bis desire is to return to a far country, yea the country of Faderland, and take unto himself a wife. I see two mighty men of your town, yea they are spiritual coun selors, but they would n t have the people placo their affections on things of earth, even to the rearing of cities. A worker in wood also dwellcth in yonr town but I see that he laboreth in neighboring cities more than in his own. Your young men nnd maidens journey to the south and tothc north and Talent knoweth them no more. Many there are that dwell in the country round about who might come out to the help of the city if the mighty men therein would lead the way. I see a man of large possession who dwelleth on the highway that lead eth towards Medford, but he has many trained dogs and his desire is to hunt the bear, the deer and the coon; vea he is a mighty hunter; there is none like him in the land. To the west I see a man who tillcth a large orchard where he groweth the peach, the apple and the pear, but his chief desire is to delve into the earth for the gold that is the root of all evil. I see a highway that leadeth by a creek that is called Wagner. One of the dwell ers on it is, I should judge, a collector of taxes for he costantly journeyeth throughout the county rouud about. The desire of many others that dwell near by is to read the blesphemous writings that are found in certain books and papers and they have no part in the town; Verily, none of thes people putteth j forth an effort to build up the city of Talent. But verily, I make known unto thee that in a brief time a mighty man will journey to Talent. Yea he will become a lead er. He will establish a great mar ket place and people will come from the uttermost parts of the val ley to exchange their produce for his wears. This mighty, man will employ scribes to write the merits of Talent and publish tho same in the News and all other great news papers of the land, v enly, thous ands of people from the east and the west, from the norm and the sou th, that read of the beauties of your town, journey hither, buy town lots and build houses . upon them and therein. Workers in wood and workers in iron, carvers of stone, -makers of raiment, skilled workers in brass, teachers of schools, preachers of the gospel, doctors of medicine and doctors of law; yea every prfession is repre sented. A score of years pass and lol and behold, Phoenix is absorbed in Talent. I peer into the future and note its marvelous growth, A century passes. I see spread out before me a mighty city. It extendeth from beyond Ashland on the south to Medford on the north; yea these three are one, and Ihe length there of is one score miles and the width thereof is ono fourth of the length thereof. But lol the name has changed. The three cities unite, their names have blended, the great city is called Talabhford. I behold massive buildings and lofty towers, extensive parks and lovely gardens. Electric railway runneth the length of the city. I see maginficent school buildings supplied with the most wonderful apparatus' for use in leaching the beauties and wonders of the world around them. I see a mighty structure in the center of the city; yea it hath eight stories. On the front is an arch on which is written news building. I look within. Wonderful to behold! Verily, the News is as large as the blanket that covcreth a horse and it hath a million readers:" That quickly brought us out of our trance and the- 6pook fled. But we sat and pondered over the wonderful disclosures, gawnl lone and musingly about our oflice and drew comparisons. MINKS AND MINING. Wimer Bros, have four Monitors in operation on their Waldo placers, wnicn are paving better thun ever. They will be able to run as late as September. The Smith, Tuffs fc Ezell mine at Williams creek, has over SO tons of good rock in the bin ready to haul to the null when tiieroaus dry off a little. A tunnel follows two paying leads of quartz for nearly 100 feet and the ore gets richer all the time. The March gold brick of the Ash land Mining Company was 874 ounces of bullion, worth 15,010. This was the result of 21 day's run, the mill being out of ore for nine days during March, as the moun tain road was so soft the teams could not haul over it. W. E. Jacobs leaves soon for San Francisco with the 16 sacks of quartz he and E.-K. Anderson pur chased from B. Horn when he found the Last Chance pocket. He will take along with him a carload of the rich ore lately taken from the new owners, Jacobs, - Ganiard, Tiffany and White. The ore will be run through a smelter to get the gold out. Frank Torrey is over ihis week from Grouse creek and reports hav ing struck the old pay channel that was lost 30 years ago. He 6truck it about a mile above the Patterson Bros, mines snd says three pans of the dirt goes 30 cents to the pan. He has been prospecting for this old channel for five years off and on and is now ready to commence operations for a four months' run. Valley Record. Later indications, says the Grants Pass Observer, go to prove the fab ulous richness of the Galls creek mine, near Rock Point, recently found by Mr. Horn. The parties who bought the claim of him, Messrs. Henry White and Ganiard Brothers have struck it still richer and are coining monev by the thous ands. They paid Horn 14000 fur the claim, and have already taken out more than that amount since buving it. Bernard McArthur was at the mine Monday, and exhibited a fine piece of quartz about the size of a hen's egg, which is said to con tain $11. He says the rock is plen tiful and that the company is now making preparations to put in ma chinery to work the ore. Greatly Surprised.

The Divided Skirt, This is from a San Jose paper and the lady spoken of is a sister of Photographer Rifenburgof this place: -dTmcJH The divided skirt fiv"ian purposes has made l. r on the streets of . San I'la rightly informed, the honor f being the pioneer in this reform move ment. She can be seen on the street almost any fine dav, enjoying a canter astride her handsome bay, attired in a bifurcated equestrian habit made of gray cloth. She can mount atid dismount with ease and agility, without the assistance of any lord of creation another ins tance of woman's growing indepen dence of man's help. Miss RifiVn berg's bifurcated equestrian habit is so skillfully constructed that when she appears on the sidewalk only a close observer would notice anything unusual in her attire. When mounted, the skirt barely covers the foot and stirrup. There is nothing any more outre or im modest about the innovation than there is in the appearance of the ordinary lady-cycler. When the fair daughters of San Jose first com menced riding the bicycle, man fashion, in the public streets Mrs. Grundy held up her hands in hor ror and passed caustic remarks about the immodesty of the girls who first had the pluck to introduce the sensible fashion. Now it has become so common that the street gossip does not even notice it. Th divided skirt is a most appropriate costume for ladies who ride horse back. It is far safer and more con venient than the long side-saddle skirt from which numerous acci dents, some of them fatal, have re sulted. A girl in the bifurcated costume has better control of her self and of her steed, has a firmer seat in the saddle; is in less danger in case the horse shies or attempts to run away; rides with less fatigue; can go wherever she chooses, unat tended, and is therefore indepen dent. -This sensible costume is likely to come into more general use, now that the ice is broken. A Huutter's Wife Xuch .Pleased. Elder S. S. Beaver, of McAllister ville, Juniatta Co., Pa., says bis wife is subject to cramp in the stomach. Last Mininier she tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for it. and wns much pleased with the speedy relief it afforded.

General Manager Kanglcy, on his recent visit, gave orders for the specimen, and a score of the most experienced miners in the camp have been steadily at work for the past three weeks in cutting and moving it. The block is 24 feet long, 5 feet 8 inches wide and 4 feet 8 inches high, and weighs in the vicinity of 41,000 pounds, or nearly 22 tons. State of Ohio, City op Toledo, Lucas County. Frank J.
