P The last epithet Nickell applied to the editor of this paper was that of jackass." We supposed it was An original expression with him but we -have since learned that the same epithet was applied personally to- Nickell by Mrs. Lease when speaking in Med&ru two years ago.

In it Mr. Flyoin dwells not upon presumption but in language very appropriately put fieU forth, in arguments keenly pen filed, the precise condition of mone tary matters in the United States 1 And so forcibly presents his ideas As to make them plain to all who read. The name, he explains, is the most, and in fact the only ap propriate one which can be applied to the banking and - pawnbroking system of to-day. Citing in evidence- that stud-poker is a game wherein the dealer "rakes in" all the cash and the players "go broke." The book costs two bits and is worth many times that amount to the careful reader even though his ideas do not coincide with those of the writer. Time changes all things. For example ; Eight months ago. or a couple of weeks .before Treasurer Bloomer, made bis flying leap to parts unknown-- nnknown to al! - Aavli Twlmna a four rVvtV ' Af 1 TT learned that there was something not altogefhercstraigfc t Li bis ac 1 counts -and to . substantiate -this tumor our Mr. York was dispatched to the county seat; to glean infor . fnation regarding the - matter.

Thi? gentleman was visited and Mr. York was told that '"Why, yes; that is; why, yes; Mr. Bloomer haswhy, ah, been given a month . to ab, get his books in shape and why, yes, ah, - Right here The Mail representa tive concluded he had all the "why, yeses" and "dashes" he wanted and thai was all the satisfaction he got. Jt is now only a few months this side of a county election and our wuoie umce wrce is especially in t -1 - rr e n to call at the court bouse and information within the offi to impart.

They are all tnen, those who clamor;' where are the suffering women? .Why do they never arm themselves and take to the highway? The women suffer if they suffer at all in silence; they' do not flaunt the rags of their misery at "the gates of the mornine:" Thev are made of sterner stuff than the Weak, maud linraen. They say, calmly, that if they must die they will die with out disturbing the neighbors, and while their husbands are doing the howling they are preparing the shrouds. The more you know of men the more you will think of women. In the county proceedings, pub lished in this paper upon date the 16th day of March. 1S04, there ap peared this item: "In the matter of tax collector's bond' bond in the penal sum of $5000, with It. if. Men as surety, hied ana ap proved." The above looks very well in print and to the reader who has not looked into the matter closely it. has the appearance of great caution on the part of the county court, and a deep interest in protecting the county's finance. But how cau tious has the court been and how much interest has it manifest? Let us cite from the county record books: Item 1 . "On the 29th day of June, 1802, John E. Pelton filed his official boud as sheriff of Jackson county in the sum of $10,000, with Horace I. Pulton and K. F. Neil as sureties. Tkpm 2. '-On th fith dtic of .Tulv. 1S92, JohnE. Pelton filed his bond as tax collector of Jackson county, for the years 1892 and 1S93, in the sum of $10, 000 with James Helms and Chas."" iok ell as suretiesJJ - Item 3."On the 2nd dav cf March. 1894j John E. Pelton filed his bond," as taxcallector, in the sum of joJOO with K.P. Neil as surety." How do we find the condition of affairs when we look into them a little? Surely not as you would like them.' On the surface they look all right and the taxpayer might consider the county's interests very secure, but how secure? By looking over the above we find that R. P. Neil has given his bond in the sum of fifteen thousand dol lars. We find by the record books that R. P. Neil gives the valuation of his property to the assessor at THREE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED and twenty dollars? ; It this security ? Is it security ta "tC8pf, any man's bond for $15,0C3.hetrbesays him self he is onlywJO?

If the county 'court is willing to accept this kind of a bond it is no affair of bis, but that it is an act very unbecoming in that body, as guardians of the county's affairs, will not be questioned by any sane person.

Oregon, is one of the latest mining combinations which has filed its articles of incorpora tion with the county clerk. The duration of articles of agreement is fifty years and its object is that of buying, selling, prospecting and de veloping mining property. The capital stock is placed at $100,000 and is divided into 1000 shares at $100 each. The "incorporators are G. R., Riley and Carrie Hammers ley, Austin S. Hammond and Lio nel R. Webster. The seat of oper ation is, of course, at the widely known and very rich mine known as the llammerssley, or Jump-OB- Joe ledge. The ore from this mine runs about $40 to the ton and the supply seems inexhaustable. Re ceiver Chapman was in Mcdtoid yesterday with about $2000 in gold us the result os his rast clean-up as receiver of the mine. When he shall have turned over this amouut to the court hid services as receiver will be dispensed with and the new company will assume possession. D. Coykendall, a Tolo miner, was in Medford Tuesday "springing" himself for a few of the necessary accompaniements to a successful prospecting tour. The gentleman is but recently' from Washington, where he owns some quite exten sive gold and copper mines, but he relates that several feet of snow in the camp is a hinderance to opera tions and he is now seeking a '"find" in this land of sunshine and rich minerals. He was candid in his remarks when he stated that he Re lieved the Southern Oregon mines, when fully developed, would be the richest in the state or United States. The owners of the Comstock of Oregon mine resumed operations on Tuesday of this week. A contract has been let to Messrs. M.Lane and C. A. Keeffe, of Montana, to 6ink a fifty foot shaft from the floor of the tunnel. It is expected that as they work down a higher grade of ore will be found. " - S. A. Young and W. T. Shurtleff have purchased a placer claim over j on little Applegate and now have four men at work washing gravel. It is reported a good piece of prop erty and prospects rich in many places. The Conger & Arnold stamp mills at To'o are nearly ready for operation. The two mill3 will have a crushing capacity of about fifteen tons of ore per day. Fiftv-flve ounces of gold was sent to the mint at San Francisco this week bv James McDonouch, and was taken from his placer grounds, near Tola. How's This.

Sixth To Improve Our Water System. Mr. J. T. Flynn, formerly a real estate man, of Grants Pass, but now a representative of the Pacific Well Drilling Company, of Port land, was in Medford Monday upon business relative to the putting down of a well in this city, by means of which an ample supply, and a Letter quality, of water might be secured for city use. Monday evening an informal meeting of the city council was held in council hall when" Mr. Flynn ap peared before them and submitted an outline cf a proposition with the above object in view. His propo sition is to start a will, twelve inciics in diameter, and drill it to a depth of 500 feet for 35O0. He sta ted that it is possible to get flowing water at that depth, but should this not be the case he was positive that ouo ieet would get at least a j supply of iresh water to the amount ; Of 300,000 gallons every twenty-foUr j hours, or an ample supply for a city of 4000 people. When the 500 ' feet is reached and flowing water i has not been found the board can ! ues their own descretion reeardinc ; Knuv dpi-nor.

While tlie council did not make a contract with Mr. Flynn ou trie 500 foot proposition we learn that they pave him to understand that they felt favorable to it and that in all probability a written contract to that cflVct would be entered into at their regular April meeting. If the contract is entered' into work is to begin about the 15th of April and is to be completed on or about the loth of July, 1S94. The well, of course, will be put down near the present water works in order that the tanks and other accoutrements now in use can be used in connec tion with the new well. For Sale. .
