Colvig appearing as his attorney. It is a question of expenses and the disagreement originated at the last .session of the county court, over Mr. Patterson's having charged his . expenses in bringing young S to well of Eagle Point, from Oregon City to Jacksonville. Stowell was under arrest at Oregon City for forgery committed in Jackson county last , summer. At about the time that word of his arrest was received the . sheriff was preparing to take Mrs Swacker, an insane person, from Jacksonville to the asvlum at Salem. When he had delivered the lady at the asylum he went on to Oregon City and brought Stowell back with him to Jacksonville. The bill presented to the county court, as we understand it, covered all of the sheriff's expenses from Jacksonville to Oregon City and re turn, but as the state pays for the conveyance of insane persons to the asylum the county court refused to pay the expenses in bringing Stow ell back, except such part of them as were contracted in going from Salem to Oregon City and return to Salem and the prisoner's expenses from Oregon City to Jacksonville, the court claiming he bad already been paid by the state and that he did not double the rpad in perform ing both these services. The Medford flail Outdone." ' Under the above caption the Oreoon Ian prints this from the Grants Pass Courier: "Practical miners claim that the city of Grants Pass rests upon a bed of gold. In sinking wells, both above and below town, the bedrock has never yet been reached, but when down a few feet, the gravel prospects all the way from a color to 15 cents to the pan. The latter fig-nre is considered big, and indicates a Heavier deposit as the bed rock is approached. - The business men of the city might with profit have the matter tested, as, if the theory is correct, every one who owns a town lot also poseeses a gold mine.- The presence of water amongst the gravel suggest the ease in which the golden It is a noticeable fact that when Medford ladies and gentlemen at tempt to do honors upon any occa sion they never fall short of the mark aimed at, and this is one of the several reasons why The Mail likes Medford and her people. An instance right now in mind is the greeting they gave to the State horticulture board as they passed through Medford Tuesday morning, en route to Ashland, wh.re a meet ing was held on Tuesday - and Wednesday of this wee. At very short notice a most cred itable and well managed reception was given President Cardwell and his fellow members of the board by the ladies of Medford. We say the ladies, but some of the credit was due to energetic gentlemen, and much to the Medford school band, which furnished several choice se lections during the affair. ,Cieo. P. W alhhan, who suggested the idea on Saturday last, iouna an aoie coadjutor in Rev. E. S. Craven, of this city, who enlisted the services of the ladies in preparing magnifi cent bouquets, as well as beautiful boutonnierea for the horticulturists. Two large baskets had been most tastefully decorated by Mrs. C. W. Palm, and these were failed with fine samples of fruit, contributed; by Hon. J. II. Stewart, Messrs. U. L. Webb, J. A. Whitman and others. Mr. Wallihan boarded the train Central Point and when the train reached Medford, marshalled the guests out upon the platform, where the ladies at once proceeded to decorate the gentlemen with flowers, while the band greeted theji with a choice selection. Dr. Cardwell then tendered thanks in a brief address, and Prof. Bloss, pres ident of the State Agricultural College at Corvallis, also addressed the people. Three hearty cheers were then given for the Horticul tural society, and Secretary Sargent at once called for cheers for Med- ford's ladies, which were given with will. The band played again, and as the train moved awav the rear platform was occupied by as many of the society party as could find room there, and they cheered Medford again and again. The party was made up of Dr. J R. Cardwell, president, Portland; Geo. I. Sargent, secretary, Port land; H. E. Dosch, treasurer, Hills dale; Emile Schanno and Miss Alma Schanno, from The Dalles, Jas. Hendershott, of Cove, and Prof. M. Bloss. president of the state agricultural college, Corvallis. All the above named gentlemen are members of the state board of hor ticulture, except Prof. Bloss. At Medford the party was joined by Hon J. W. Whitman and Edwin Ross, of Medford, Levi Morris, of Talent, also member of the board, and E. W. Hammond, of Wimer. Upon reaching Ashland, Rev, Dr. A. J. Brown, pastor of the leadinz Presbyterian church, of Portland, who was on the train, en route to California, asked the party to group themselves on the plat form. He placed the Medford contributions of fruit and flowers in the foreground and photographed the whole. Our representative at Ashland tells us by letter that Med ford apples and grapes, contributed by J. H. Stewart, greatly surpassed any thing shown in the opera house particularly his White Malaga and Muscat grapes and Gloria Mundi apples. G. L. Webb's peaches were larger and higher colored than any shown there. Med ford 6ent no pears, but her large baskets occupied places of honor next the stage, and their beauty and contents were greatly admired by all. The dinner tables at Hotel Oregon were decorated witn aiea- ford roses Tuesday. The demon stration at Medford amazed and delighted the passengers, who were asking all about it on the way up to Ashland. ' MI Al 111 GENTRAL POINT. There is a double-decked round up of excitement down on Galls creek, near Gold Hill, since last week when a twenty foot ledge of very rich quartz was struck. For some time Messrs. H. Kubli, E. B. Watson, II. D. Kubh and Frank Knight have been working on this lead with an arastra, but nothinc exceedingly rich showed up until' last we?k, when the above men tioned strike was made. The ledge is full of free gold and is, without a doubt, one of the richest mines in Southern Oregon. A five stamp mill is to be put up at the mine. This property has been in the mar ket for $20,000, but since these later developments it has been withdrawn and no price is now made. From Our Union town Correspondent. Messrs. Logg and McDonnell better known as Mac and Frank of Forest creek, have recently discovered a valuable quartz ledge on that creek. The "bovs" have been on Forest creek forty-three! years and have made many an hon est dollar, but in the palmy days thev sowed monev to the winds, never, however, denying their cred itors, so that to-day their credit is A 1. Their many friends will be pleased to learn of this late turn of Fortune.s treacherous wheel, which will greatly help the boys on their journey over tue range they are nearmg. Kubli and Knight, of the Pike's Peak, have cause to rejoice over the fact that their tunnel is in now over one hundred feet, with the quality and size of the pay Ftreak increas ing constantly. They have two hundred tons of ore on the dump and will erect a stamp at the be ginning of the new year. Messrs. Bill Lewis, Oliver Dews and Geo. Fawcett have the contract of transferring the pipe from Little Applegate to the hoggs mine on Elliott creek no light task, con sidering the pipe is in sixteen foot lengths, and eight miles of the dis tance is by winding trail. The vear eighteen hundred and ninety-five will be the best in the last quarter of a century for Southern Oregon. Capital is already begin ning to realize that this is a land of ledges and not pockets. Sews From Cuiontown. . Jacksonville News. Chas.

Moore will hold ser vices at the Sterling school house once each month during the con ference year. The work of the church is progressing grandly and much interest is manifested in the Sunday school. A. A. Cleveland, of Astoria, paid the Oregonian Pocahontas Tribe a fraternal visit Saturday. He found the council in a prosperous condi tion, and left many encouraging remarks. A feast was spread at the Taylor House at the close of the evening's entertainment. BY DOUGLAS. Capt. Terry, of Watkins, was at Jacksonville on business, the first of the week. A number of our Applegate boys are away attending school this win ter. Too much credit cannot be given to such ambitious spirits, All honor to the noble youth who, after having exhausted the resources of home advantages, seeks further mental advancement by going abroad ; and all dishonor will cer tainly follow the youth who takes a radically opposite course, by not attending to his studies and even interferinj; with those well inclined a veritable dog in the manger, Mrs. Sam'l Hamilton, of Union- town, entertained a number of friends Saturday evening, Oct. 13th Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Radigan and Miss Tavlor, of Ashland, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Stur gis, Mr. and Mrs. John Farmer, Mr. and Mrs. Orval fcturgis, Messrs. George and James Hewitt, and others. The evening was passed in social converse, interspersed with vocal and instrumental music. Each finally went his way rejoicing over an hour of harmless pleasure. Home talent can accomplish won ders when properly developed, and we earnestly hope that the coming long winter evenings will be more frequently employed in such a man ner. Gin Lin, the Chinese mining tyee, from Upper Applegate, left for China a few days ego. From a business standpoint Gin Lin has ever enjoyed the highest esteem of all classes and races, but on leav ing to visit his native heath he did one thing which would be censura ble from an orthodox standpoint, i. e., it is alltged. he "presented" his wife to "Bow Wow," or Bow somebody, without the usual for mality of a divorce. The consider atum is not named, but it's customary for the recipient of such precious gifts to pay handsomely. It is openly asserted that Gin on his return will bring a "society lady" with him as a wife. These are hard times and the only relief to the sad and melancholy picture of man's inhumanity to man lies in the fact that the slave is pleased with the change of masters. Sla very! Yes, slavery, in this boasted land of the free. After being a faith ful wife for twenty years a poor woman is bartered away for a mess of pottage. Well did Bret Harte write, twenty-five years ago, about the lecherous, treacherous, barba rous Mongolian vandal: "Do I sleep? Do I dream? Do I wonder and do-ibt? Are tiling what they seem, Or merely visions about? Is civilization a failure? Ia the Caucasian played out?" "The heathen Chinee," in spite of his evidences of total depravity, bus champions in the land. Such men are, to a great extent, governed by mercenary motives, and their re spect for the Chinese is gauged by the limit of their ability to prey upon "John" in mercantile transactions.
