Medpusd, Friday, Nov. 30, 1894.
Next week, all things working
as we now figure they will, we will
enlarge The Mail to an eight page
paper. We will then be enabled to
print a much greater amount of
news than now and all for $1.50 a
year.
"Private Brows" is the title of
a new serial ' story which will be
published in these columns within
the next few months. The opening
chapter will appear about Janu
ary 1st. "Private Brown" is from
the pen of Captain Crawford, a
very prominent military scout.
The story is full of scenes and in
cidents of border life in the West
during Indian troubles, and is as
well possessed of all the romance
the average reader could wish for.
The crime of the latest default
ing bank teller appears to have
been discovered by accident, though
his stealings have been going on
for a period of more than two years.
It illustrates anew the need of more
thorough supervision of banking
institutions, and the illustrations
have been more than ordinarily
numerous of late.
It seems lunatic fatuity for post
office employes to tamper with
letters, for ninety-nine times in a
hundred they will be caught, and
the punishment is heavy. The
postal employes, as a rule, are
faithful, honest and hard-working
men. It is not strange that a black
sheep shall appear among them
once in a while. In proportion to
their number and their great op
portunities there is a high standard
of morality among them.
We prist, by request, this week
an article from the pen of F. R
Neil. If the charges made are cor

fidavits there are surely grounds
for an investigation. If The Mail

comes a disclosure of things most
startling.
Judge Hassa's decision in the
case of Sheriff Patterson is bringing
out a diversity of opinion as to
which is wholly wrong, wholly
right, or either way only in part.
The case 'grew out of the county
court's refusing to allow the sheriff
mileage to and from Oregon City,
mention of which was made in this
paper some time ago. The judge's
decision was, in substance, that the
sheriff was not entitled to recover
mileage, he haying already been
paid mileage by the state for other
services performed at the same
time. Mr. Patterson is still of the
opinion that he is correct in his
charge and cites law to that effect.
The law may be able to bear Mr.
Patterson out in the stand he has
taken, but, laying aside points of
law, we would ask Mr. Patterson if
he made two trips to Salem and
return at or about the time when
this question of dispute arose? If
he did not, for what services, actu
ally performed, does he hope to
recover on from the county?

A HUGE MINING DEAL.
Nine Hundred Acres on Foots Creek;
Sold to Seattle Capitalists.
About one year ago J. H. Shot
well and M. P. Ward came to this
county from Washington, in. the
interest, they stated, of Seattle
parties, and were desirous of pur
chasing some mining property,
should they be able to find a propo
sition suited to the wishes of the
capitalists they represented. They
were not long in locating what they
deemed a good proposition, and
immediately bonded the same and
began the work of prospecting.
The land chosen was located on
Foots creek, and was owned by five
different parties, and covered an
area of 900 acres. It is in the rich
est mining districts of Southern
Oregon, and the thorough pros
pecting which was begun by Messrs.
Shotwell and Ward had not pro
gressed very far until the owners of
the property realized that they had
bonded property which was fast
proving more valuable than at first
anticipated. 1 he prospectors spared
no expense to make the test of the
land thorough and a tunnel was
run in the old creek channel a dis
tance of 1200 feet. This channel
had never been worked, and com
prises a vast amount of rich dirt.
being SO feet deep and ouu yards
wide, and is located about 100
vards from the present creek chan
nel. Last Saturdav, at Jackson
ville, the sale of this land was
consummated and the price,
$15,000, was paid in cash. The
purchasers are, Byron Phelps,
mavor of Seattle, o. McLeod, J. M.
Snarkman, John H. Sexton, Chas.
Twombly, J. H. Shotwell and M. P.
Y ard. The former owners of this
land are well known citizens of this
county, being O. Swaeker.. Golds-
worthv and AlcKnight, liailey &
Orme, Herman Helmes & E. C.
Brooks.
This vast amount of ground will
pay largely for either drifting or
hydraulic machinery, it lays in
the .old creek bod and includes a
mile and a half of the channel, and
has for years been recognized as
being among the best raining prop
erties in this end of the state, but
being divided as it was it could not
be worked advantageously, but as
a whole and under one manage
ment it can be worked with great
profit to its owners. The purchase
of this property included the full
water rights of ihe creek, which
gives the purchasers the use of all
the water flowing through its chan
nel, and it is their intention to
construct a system ot large reser
voirs to hold the flood waters of the
winter so the same might be used
in ' summer. There is plenty of
"dump ground, and as the average
depth of the channel is about forty
feet, the two men who have been
prospecting the ground the past
year are very confident as to its
richness.
A Mail representutiva met the
above named gentlemen at the
depot Sunday evening as they wew
preparing to return home, and dur
ing a few minutes conversation had
with them we found them to be
men of thorough, practical business
ability, and men who hava become
possessed of much wealth through
the management of their affairs on
strictly business principles, and
there can be no question as to their
ability to operau; this property with
profit to themselves. They staUd
that they had not fully decided
what kind of a plant they would
put in, but added that whatever
was done.would be in a substantial
manner and all machinery placed
on the ground would be of the most
modern type and of the best gold
saving qualities. It U their inten
tion, so we were led to understand,
to place men at work at the earliest
profitable moment and would spare
no expense to develope this proper
ty and cause it to produce to Hs
fullness of the yellow metal.
Such investments of capital in
Southern Oregon mines is indeed
most encouraging, and whila pne
firm in this way consumes several ,
small mines, it will in the long run
be more profitable for the commu
nity in general than the many indi
vidual mines, as large numbers of
men must be employed to develop
them, and they must also be made
to produce all that tt is possible for
them to do, thus placing more gold
on the market and as a result put
ting more money into circulation in
our midst. The purchase of this
property only adds another to the
number that have been sold to out
side parties and is only the fulfill
ment of the prediction that outside
capital was fast being attracted to
Southern Oregon's famous mines.
other mixing items.
If indications point correctly the
famons Ham merely mine is to
have a rival. For some time J.
Blair and A. Palmer, residents of
the Jump-off-Joe district have
known of the existance of a rich
mine in that locality, but not be
ing miners they were unable to
trace the lead. A short time ago
two expert miners, Messrs. John
Uills.and 1. tfumgartner, et Colora
do, happened along and the four
gentlemen formed a partnership
and started out for gold and they
found it. At a point about two
miles from the Hammersly mine
they found tbe ledge and upon
opening up it was found to be very
rich in free gold, in fact, a dupli
cate of the Hammersly mine, both
in quantity, quality of ore and
richness. We mav reasonably ex
pect some good reports from ' that
locality.
From Our Uniootown Correspondent.
W. H. Bostwick and sons are
preparing to mine Forest creek,
opposite Bishop flat.
O'Brien. Matney & Runyon are
operating their hydraulic on the
Applegate with a low head of
water.
J. H. Brantner, the veteran
miner, has his house in order and
will be tearing up the gravel in a
short time.
Johnson & Ford have finished
their contract with.J. K. Gill & Co.,
who are operating the Donaldson
& Fick property on Forest creek.
Banister and Ray, the two Wil
liams, are busy placing their flum-
ing on Hinkle gulch. They will
be ready for business in a day or
two.
W. E. Maultby is at present look
ing after his Sterling mining inter
ests. A brief review of the Sterling
and Little Applegate mining district
will be presented in the near future.
Pierce and sons, of Poor-man's
creek, have everything in readiness
and will start their hydraulic in a
few days. Their new dam gives
them control of ten thousand
miner's inches of water.
The plain, unvarnished tales of
Applegate s mineral wealth, that
haye gone abroad through the col
umns of The Mail, are attracting
mining men of means front all
climes, and the best part of it is
that they find the country better
than represented.
M. Hall, formerly of Portland, is
looking about the Applegate dis
trict, with view to investment. We
knew Mr. Hall in the capacity of a
hotel keeper, in Portland, and if he
pursues mining with the same busi
ness tact and vigor that he employed
in his former vocation, success will
inevitably follow.
M. Hastings came in from
Wards Fork yesterday with his
season's clean-up and among the
lot of bright yellow gold was to be
seen three bright specimens of
gold weighing respectively $2(5, $4o
and 165 each. The Elliott creek
country is certainly furnishing
prima facie evidence of its latent
wealth.
J. Nunan, of Jacksonville, recent
ly purchased the Alf Carter claim
at the head of the right fork of For
est creek. The property prospects
well and Mr. Nunan has just com
pleted a fifty-foot tunnel and made
other valuable improvements. We
are glad to note that this claim litis
finally reached thi hands of one
amply abje and fully determined
to push the enterprise to a success
ful issue. Kusscil df brood were
employed to drive the tunnel and
the work is of a most satisfactory
character.
Farmers are busv seeding and
miners are busy getting ready for
work when the rams oomo. All in
the mean time are praying for
rain. Paradoxical ait mav serin it
is practically true. If prayer is ans
wered, how it will ram by and by.
Talking of miners at praver leads
to a suggestion. Why don't some
aspiring genius im.nortalize his
name and add untold riches to art
by preferring some of these sub
lime pictures -ihf) there would be
m.moy in it, tna. A bronze statue

Miner Loses His Land Case.
A Roseburg telegram to the Oro
gonian under date of November 22 tells
of the disposition of the Miner land
case like this '"Receiver Voatoh and
Register Sheridan have decided the
'"Minor" timber-land contest In favor
of the government. The opinion care
fully reviews the evidence, covering
26 pagrs of typewritten manuscript.
This case was the entry of Joel V.
Warne, who, it was decided, was to
.convey he land over to Julius E.
Minen as soon as Ihe final certificaotes
were issued. The defendants are al
lowed 30 days in which to appeal from
the decision to tbe commissioner of
the general land ofilue, which appeal
will be taken. This particular entry,
upon which the contest has just bcHn
decided, together with 60 more similar
entries, comprise a tract of valuable
sugar pine timber on the upper Rogue
rivor, in Jackson county. This is one
of the most Important cases ever tried
on tbe coast."'
TIIE OFFICIAL FINDINGS.
The charges made and Issues in
volved in tbe case are:
(1) . That sad entry No. 09S3, of
Joel V. Warne, for the S. E. , sec. 3,
Tp. 32 S, R. 8 east, was speculative.
(2) . The said Joel V. Warne did
have an understanding and agreement
with Julius K. Miner thatas soon as
final certificate was issued he would
convey said land to Miner.
The conclusion of the decision is as
follows: Mr. Miner was verj much in
evidence during tbe whole of tho trial,
but he failed to testify as to the facts in
knowledge and explanation of, or to
contradict charges that were made
against him. His failure to do so can
lead but fo one conclusion.
From a careful review of tho testi
mony, we are of the opinion that tho
government has fully established its
case, and that tho said entry. No. 0983,
for S. E. i S. 3. Tp. 81 S. R. 3 east,
mode by Joel V." Warne, on Oct. 23,
1890, was speculative and made in the
interest of Julius E. Minor, and we so
decide.
Defendants are allowed thirty days
In whloh to appeal from the decision
to the Honorable Commissioner of tbe
General Land office will be taken,
R. M. Veatch, Register.

Notice Should Be Filed.
Toe Mail hereby calls tho atten
tion of Us readeri to the fact that the
time will be up the first of January in
which a person can nib for record his
notice of. intention to hold and work
his mining claim on which no assess
ment work has been done the post year.
On July 18th of this year congress
passed an act to amend section 2324 of
tho revised statutes, U. S., relating to
mining claims. Under the provisions
of this act miners wore exempted from
doing tbe annual amount of assess,
ment work on their claims. To take
abvantage of this it is necessary for
every man who has not done his assess
ment work to file his notice of inten
tion in the county clerk's office; other
wise bis claim can be relocated.
