P The last epithet Nickell applied

"Stud-Poeer Finance" is
fthe
name of a publication gotten oufc by
J. T. FJynn. 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.

they never arm themselves and

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'

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 ?

"Hammersley Mining Company,"
of Medford,. 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.

Why Did Mr. Mcrritt Do It?
Editor Medford Mail : During
the past week I had business along
the road leading from the Central
Point cemetery to Big Sticky and I
saw a notice posted on a gate post
notifying the traveling public not
to travel through that place, signed.
f'By order of J. W. Merritt," and
the query arose in my mind, can it
be possible that Mr. Merritt will try
to force ail the travel from Butte
creefc anu surroundings, to go
through the Ish laie, two and a
half miles through sticky mud, to
get to Medford, or is" it a plan to
force u 3 to go to Central . Point to
do our trading when we . can pave
at least twentv uer cent bv going to
Medford?

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. In regard to this i

ficient to prosecute tho work to;

he stated, was based upon the
nmmiscs of land donations already I
f , i , j - r .T, '.hy his brother, who is here on a vLt:.-ciU:dl-
tendered and the great desire of ah maJe fri.ndJ bert , M Ja(,lT

at a depth of loOO fext, and is j Ticlou, hffse Dr. liik!e fr3Cure,
almost positive it can oe reacntu at
a much less depth. 1 m
presump
tion is arrived r.t by the very
plausible theory that Crater ar.d
Klamath hikes have a subterranean
outlet to the ocean and that this
outlet covers quite an area aud is
through this valley.
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.
