Editor Mail : Pursuant to re quest, I pen you my impressions of this region, from a mineral point of view. This whole radius of country is composed of a conglom erate mass, granite being in the as cendancy. Hornblende abounds quite profusely; slate somewhat. Any of these formations are indi cative of gold but haye no partic ular tendency to produce gold bear ing quartz. Still, as gold is where vou find it, theory counts for but lit tle in the search. These hills are full or seams, eacn carrying more or less gold. Pockets are in these seams, too, and at the present time form the principal basis of opera tions. Whea water is scarce pros pecting and mining both suffer. but as wet weather progresses both receive an impetus ana trooa re sults follow. There are a few ledges being worked about here. ine Mountain .Lion is running a double arastra On twenty dollar Todt. The Anaconda has eood rock but at present is idle. Some good rock has lately been unearthed on Thompson creek, but the gold from this section will undoubtedly come from placer. This country was worked in early days by the "ounce a day process" consequently the best of the ground remains un developed. It is much harder to work than formerly, also much cheaper, and ground that would d: nve a revenue now, would not pay then. There are several fine hy draulic properties in this vicinity, notably on Bishop creek and Hum bug, while the famous Ankeny mine at Sterling, employs many men and reaps a corresponding harvest. I must say this is the ripest prospect hole I've struck. Plenty water, easy of access and ground galore. Old miners claim they can make from fifty cents to ?3 per day with a rocker on the creek bed, still that is unsatisfactory. They put in the time pocket hunting. Several very rich pockets have been unearthed with the attendant consequences, viz: Find a pocket and be rich sud denly; every one searching for pockets. There's one prospector here who searches for pockets . with a forked stick, a five dollar gold piece and a sack of quicksilver at tached. Don't know if he is suc cessful, generally speaking, but he took $4000 from a pocket this season. The good old way proves he most satisfactory and good ground is being uncovered con stantly, these rams are putting plenty of water in the gulches and I look for good mining returns for the season. M. Filmore Parker - Owners of quartz claims should pot fail to comply with the follow ing law if they wish to avoid the 1893 assessment: "The claimant or clainant3 of any mining loca tions, ifx order to secure the benefits pf this act, shall cause to be record ed in the office where the location potices or certificate is filed, on paforp'' December 31st, 1893, , notice that he or they, in good faith intend to work said claim. A TALK OS FLOUR AND WHEAT. Kotos Takftii by an Observer that tame from the States Less TUati Forty Years Ago. It seems the many enterprises to which the towns in the eastern states give bonuses and try to en courage in every way are by a large part of the people here used in al together a different manner, namely, the flouring mills of our valley. Why the raisers of wheat should do this is a wonder to a thinking man. Thoir excuse is that the mills charge too much for flour and make too much money in manufacturing it. jN'ovv let's not be selfish in this matter. It vill take for the aver age farmer forty bushels of wheat exchanged for flour for his family use, and this he can get at all the mills at a good rate of exchange much better than most of mills in the oiidtcrn states give sinco the new process of making flour has been introduced, namely: 38 to 40 pounds of flour for 60 ' pound 3 of clean wheat, and why the wheat raiser should kick at the prico of (lour when the exchange is the same all tho time with flour high or low is the mvsterv." And why a class of wheat raisers should com bine together to run down and ruin the flour market at home is u puz zler. Flour should be kept as high at home as would allow and not have it shipped iu from other mills. This would enable the home mills to pay more for wheat, and here is where tne wheat raiser would get tho benefit, but he should not ex pect to get a price to compare or on a basis with the pries of flour at home-for, if the mills do a business to benefit the wheat raiser, they must ship out a good part of their product on to markets that pay no profit and many times at a loss, to keep running. 1 his cuts the profit made on home trade down as can readily be seen. If half was ship ped out at no profit it would cut the profit on the whole product down one-half. This is the part of the business the wheat raiser does not seem to understand, and is the best reason why he should not ex pect te get the outside limit for his wheat but an average between that and a shipping price same as mills would be getting for their product. There would be just a3 much reason tor a laraier to alwavs be running the price of horsos down when he was raising tho colts as to run the price of flour down when he is rais ing the wheat. The milling busi ness is a very risky and expensive business to run. This conclusion is arrived at when we consider the heavy rate the insurance compan ies charge cn mill property, also the carrying of wheat and stock, and costs, and interest of no little amount. It seems radically wrong for a class of farmers and men to combine to ruin the price of pro ducts of the valley and so compel another class of farmers to lose money in marketing theirs, but nevertheless this is the case iu this valley to-day. Ax Orseryek. first day of July until the first day of November. Does, from the first day of August until the first day of January." Now then, there was a man through Phoenix a few days ago, by the name of Gee, from Ashland, (Thomas Gee, I think) offering to sell venison, and claimed to haye twenty-one deer. I don't know how many does and fawns, but I do know ho had bucks, for besides three or four pair of horns in sight, he had one large swelled neck buck jn the front part "of his wacon, which any one knows, that knows anything at all about a deer, would not bo fit, hardly, for a dog to cat. This is a waste of meat that should not bo tolerated. This fellow has been making a practice of this bus iness for three or four years and it is time to call a halt. This is fair warning and if not stopped tho state warden will bo informed, and if that is not enough I propose to inform on these fellows myself something I never have done, but I will do it just tho same. I hope Mr. Editor that you will publish this, and remember I tako all re sponsibility on my own shoulders. Yours truly, Joirx B. Griffin.

Here is the case of Harry O'Neil known as the fju case' carried .to. January term of supreme court.

The time is rapidly coming when Meatora will Doom, i Jive way up toward Ashland, and have been for the past several years doing most of my trading in Ashland, but oc casionally in Jacksonville, because I always dreaded Medford mud. But for the last year or two I have been trading almost entirely in Medford, because I find the road3 much better than citizens of Ash land, Jacksonville and Central Point would have us believe. But how could you expect Medford to have good roads when they are con tinually being cut up by the citi zens trying to get to that city to trade? My advice to the other valley towns is to quit slinging mud at Medford. And my advice to Med ford is to cease for a while in dis cussing large enterprises and go to improving the different routes of approach, so we can get there to trade. ' I venture the assertion that dur ing the dry season, that I can, with plenty of gravel and sand,' a street sprinkler and a steam power roller of several tons weight; give Med ford good, solid roads in a year or two.

To Editor of The Mail: As the slaughter of deer seems to be a favorite pastime for certain parties up on Rogue river, or the head of fc.lk creek, and from all accounts these parties are too lazy to work, it seems to me it is high time for some one to make a kick- 1 pro pose to start the ball rolling. I claim to be something of a hunter myself, and I believe that these feflowB that have been so flagrantly violating the game law, should be punished. , Ignorance, or pre tended ignorance of the law won t work, because they know the law, and don't you forget it. Now, as far as I am concerned I would be the last man to raise a kick if a man should go out and kill a doer for his own use, either in or out of season, but when it comes to a man traveling all the way from Ashland to Elk creek and on to the head of Elk creek, fifty or sixty miles, and hireinz hunters to kill does, fawns and poor ones at that, and spoiled bucks, (I am putting this pretty strong but it is the truth and I can prove it) it- seems to me that is just a little too mucn, and as i said do fore, I propose to kick." Now we all know that the last legislature passed a law prohibiting the sale of venison at any .time ol tne year, but owing to' their failure to repeal the former game : law, it was held by the attprney general of the state that the new law was no good Well, that is 1 all right. Now, the question is,' what is thcolu law? can give you the substance ef it id a very few words: ''Bucks can he killed from the by ideal. Bert Yokum, of Applegat Sunday at Gold Hill.

Ihe party of voung folks who went from here to attend the ball at Eagle Point on Thanksgiving night, got lost on the desert and after wandering around for sometime finally brought up at Jack Mont gomery's place and . hired Jack to act as pilot, j hey had not pro ceeded far however, until Jack dis covered that he was lost also, and after roaming the desert for nearly four hours finally reached their destination at twelve o'clock.
