If it bo so, let me ask what does the best postel capitalists, the ereatcst staticians of the whole world decide in regard to accumulating wealth? All the great holders of wealth say it does not cost more than seventy cents to produce a silver dollar. I admit that they are about right. I would ask, is it a chance to embark in such a business? It is not my in tention to discuss the merits or de merits of silver, but to prove the business of mining to be the most legetimate way of acquiring wealth. lhe gold bugs make wealth too fast. They want one of the metals discontinued by the government as money. These great lights are not posted on Southern Oregon and Northern California. If Ahey were they would have a worse mountain to climb. It is only a question of a few months, even two years will soon come around, and in that short time it will be proven to the satis faction of any citizen on the Pacific slope that gold dollars can bo pro duced at not to exceed fifty cents. If this is a fact, as all science says it is, where comes in any chance or lutterv? I notice that 6ome of the citizens of Rogue river valley talk against quartz mining and talk pos itive that the veins do not last that is, that they do not go down to any depth below the surface. I feel a little sorry for 6uch, and I am vexed very much at the doctors, who, when these fellows get sick, preserve their lives. Through their ignorance they cause others to think thai mining is a chance. The main course in my judgement in mining quartz veins in this part of the country is new to the citizens. There is experience needed in quartz min ing. It must be started on scientific knowledge if success attends from start to finish. Each enterprise in the country started and run by those posessing these qualities reduce quartz mining for gold far ahead of any other legetimate business known to mortal man. With full knowl edge as stated above, it is reduced to a mathematical calculation of how much rock yon can reduce to a fine pulp or sand, or if reduced with fire or chemicals, how many gold dollars will be clear profit? And to-day the business of produc ing cold from the bowels of tiie earth is attended with less risk and larger'returns. A Miner. Heirs to L'ig Money. The following has been sent us for publication. We don't know any ot the parlies, but perhaps some ol our read ers do: In Wednesday's issue of the Chroni cle under the heading; of "hein to mil lions', npneared an article stating that each of six brothers and sisters are prospective heirs to about $-jl.OJ0,XX. The nnino of the heirs is Meeker, and they claim to bo descendants of An neke Jans, who left England many voars nsro. havinir denosited in the bank of Kngland money which now amounts with interest added to ?3d0,- 000.000. There is in this city living at unj Turk street a Mrs. John li. Mdiee, who claims to be a direct descendant of Anneke Jans. Her maiden name was Miss Olive Valentine, a grand daughter of John Valentino, who had married Justina Teller, dauchter of Jacobus Teller, who was the son of Uachael Teller, who was the dnuirhter of Sarah Hierstadt, the daughter of nneke Koolofl. whose maiden name was Anneke Jans. Batches of tho heirs have sued at various times, but thev hnve always been non-suited. The reason for this was that tho lease had disappeared. Early last year the important document wns found In the old arehiores, and ex- Senator Ingalls took the case for the heirs. Ho won his suit in tho lower court, but the holders of tho property appealed, and this appeal is pending. Trinity Church has recently ollerea to compromise. It Should Be in Every House. J. B. Wilson. 371 Clay St.. Sharps- burg, Pa., says he will not be without Dr. King s New Discovery lor Consump tion, Coughs and Colds, that it cured his wifo who was threatened with Pneu monia after an attack of "La Grippe," when various other remedies and sov- eral physicians had done her no good. Kobert Haroer, ot Uooksport, fa,, claims Dr. King's New Discovery has done him more good than anything ho ever used for Lung Trouble. Nothing like it. Trv it. Free Trial Bottles at G. II.

Agent, 271,Alder St., Portland, Oregon, Griffin Creek Gatherings. Small grain is looking line out this way. Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Lawton, of Medford, were out visiting at their son's place last Saturday. J. L. Wilson and wife and Willis Griffin and wife went over to Phoe nix to church last Sabbath. N. N. Spencer was cutting some of his alfalfa for feed last week. How is that for the 20th of April? Jerome .Tervis fc Bro. have rented part of Jeff Hamlin's place south of Medford and have moved their families down there. Mr. True's folk are expecting friends from California soon who will make them a visit and then go east and take in the World's fair. Several of our ranchers were in fvfrl lant Sattlrnv Irvincr is J - - - j B sell some of their horses to the Cal ifornia buyer but fonnd out that he would not pay as much as the home buyers. We are sorry to learn that Bro. Vox, of Talent, is experiencing so much trouble with his garden seeds. Don't you think you made a mis take in not buying of us? We have yet to hear of a complaint and all admit that they are early. Try some. Willis Griffin has purchased a fine Estey organ for his wife. Willis believes with the poet that "music hath charms to 600th a sav age, rend a rock or bust a cabbage." The above quotation has no local significance. Mrs. G. is a fine mu sician and Willis is no savage, neither is he a cabbage. Everybody out this way are re joicing that Medford is to have the water ditcn. rso doubt the time ss j not far distant when Phoenix will be supplied with water from this same ditch and from there it can be run along the foot hill into our part of the valley. Give us the water, for it means prosperity to every rancher who can use it. . C. C. Stndent of the Old School. Wilier Springs Minin Camp. April 14, 1893.

Hards, who killed Mr. Arnold in Big Butte precinct over twenty yers years ago, and escaped from the author ities, returned to his old haunts a few weeks since. Tho graud jury re-in-dieted him for the crime of murder and a warrant for his arrest was placed in Sheriff Pelton's hands. Nothing daun ted by Hards' bad reputation, that offi cer, accompanied by his deputy, Frank Nell, started for the place where their man was living and succeeded in ar resting him before Hards knew what was going on. He is now in jail and will soon be tried. It is )f rare occurrence for twins to celebrate their ninety-first birth day, but such a thing has happened at Glen Ellyn, near Chicago, where Mrs. Ackerman and Mrs. Christian, resident of that place, reached the great age of ninety-one years on Feb, 15. Talent Talk. C. Oltman, the successful bee man of Tolo, was here on business. Williams & Cook are sinking a shaft 00 Bloody Point, and think they are on a ledge the assay is $10 in gold. Mrs. Dow, of Linn county, was here visiting acquaintances a few days. She expects to return to Lebanon, shortly. II. Kinney, of Riddles, spent Sunday last with his numerous friends here. He thinks of visiting the great fair shortly. Edward Wyant, who has been sojourning among us, departed for his home at Bandon, in Coos county. The girlies will miss him here. Carlisle tfc Dunlap have had an assay on their ledge, the "Shortie." The result of which was 115.05 in gold and $1.82 in silver, total $10.87. Wni. Addison, who sold his place last week to Mathew Stewart, has purchased of H. Ammerman, the Penabecker place, for the sum of $2,600. Devoul, our local shoe maker, is talking of soon going to Phoenix, Arizona. We are sorry to have him leave, as he is a good workman and a gentleman. Oscar L. Stearns, the mechanic, when he don't have employment in building houses, takes contracts to put up stove wood, which he does in the workman-like manner, that is usual with him. Parties were circulating a peti tion to have the P. M. changed to one more congenial to the present administration, but I have not learned with what success. The P. M. we now have fills the duties satisfacorily as far as I know. Mr. Strong, of Josephine couHty, is at his son-in-law's, James R. Rcames', suffering from the effects of a chip of steel flying into his eye. while pounding tho metal. Dr. Geary is in attendance, but fears he will not be able to preserve the sight. E. K. Anderson has the largest collection of curios from Alaska, of anvone in the countv. It con sists of the handiwork of the na tives, representing their implements of war and of the chase, their dress, and their canoes and ornaments. Edie Foss has a cabinet of orni thology specimens, about fifty va rieties of eggs of the feathered den isons of our country. Minerology is represented in the cabinet of J. B. Dyer, our local assayist. Rainy, snowy .disagreeable weath er still stays with us. Winter is a little too much like the fellow that came to see my neighbor's daughter the other night. It is lingering in the lap of spring a little too long to suit the old mau. But for all, we ought not to growl and grumble, for the telegraph brings us word of a terrible blizzard and snow storm all over Iowa and Illinois, and rain and fog in the Willamette so thick that they are talking of floating a steamboat to the summit of Mount Hood. Capt, W. Rawlings, who spent a portion of last spring among us, and whose son. Grant Rawlings, is teaching the Brewnsboro school, arrived here on Sunday with his family. He brought a car load of fine stock with him. They expect to locate somewhere in the valley. They are now at W. Beeson's, Mrs. Beeson being a niceof the captain's. By the way, the captain has a tro phy of the late war, which is quite a curio to a great many. It is a battle worn confederate flag cap tured by him at the battle of Black River, Mississippi, on the 17th day of May, 1363, and has never been returned, as per order several years ago. Vox. A Minister's Wife Much Pleased. Elder S. S. Beaver, of McAllister ville, Juniatta Co., Pa., says his wife is subject to cramp in the stomach. Last summer she tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea R-jmedy for it, and was much pleased with the speedy relief it afforded. She has since used it whenever necessary and found that it never fails. For sale by G. H. Haskins, druggist. The doctors say that cholera mi crobes are the most easily killed of all disease germs. Just the same they have a marvelous faculty of killing everybody they tackle. Certain geologists say that accu mulating ice at the north pole will throw the earth out of balance and cause the destruction of its inhabi tants by the rush of moving objects. The government of Manitoba is said to be arranging for the immi gration this summer of 2,000 Ice landers. The intention is to bring from Iceland the entire population, if possible, of some 60,000 souls. Go to Davis & Pottenger's and get a package ot Pride ot Japan Tea. Take no other. O.

Lake county has two salt marshes, one on Silver Lake and one on Warner Lake, and when the railroad pierces that coun try the salt industry will be a sure thing, as the salt is equal in strength and purity to Turk's island salt. Cottege Grove Echo-Leader. The smallest locomotive ever built to be run by steam will be ex hibited at the world's fair by Henry Case, a jeweler of Gloverville. N. Y. Its construction has cost Mr. Case over three years steady labor. The engine is only eight and one-half inches in length, and its weight is only one and one-half pounds. It will run upon a track ten feet in di ameter. Michigan has passed a more stringent mortgage tax law thau the one repealed by the last Oregon Legislature. It provides for the taxation of morgages at their face value, no matter where they are owned, the owner of the property to have his taxes reduced by the mort gage ; the taxes on the mortgage may be paid by the owner of the properity and deducted from the interest due the holder of the mort gage. Portland Disatch. According to an old legend the baby's dimples mark the spot where angels' fingers touch the child in bearing it from heaven to earth, but unromantic doctors have a dif ferent explanation. They say that dimples probably result from defec tive development of a muscle. When the muscle is called into use the defective portion fails to respond, and a hollow is left into which the flesh and skin of the cheek, for ex ample, fall, and thus the dim pie is formed. Good Sews. The people of Southern Oregon can now reach a Keely Institute in a short ' ride. A branch of the Oregon Insti tuto has been opened at Roseburg, with a thoroughly competent physician in charge and the best of accommodations.
