Your cor respondent also had business with j several gentlemen and ladies and the result was that I did . not get home until late, on account of the crowd that was in Medford, notwith standing that the day was anything but pleasant, especially under foot, and I have corne to the conclusion that there must be some change made for the accommodation of the patrons of your business houses who live at a distance for I noticed one lady there who lives twelve or fifteen miles from Medford, in two different stores waiting for her turn to trade. I would suggest that the "city dads" pass an ordinance al lotting a special day for each com Tunnitv sav Monday and Tuesday for the Medfordites, and we might give them uniir 10 a. m., rest of the week.excent Saturday: Wednesday for Sams Valley, Thursday for the Stickevites, Friday for Central Point, "Jacksonville and the country south of Medford and all day Sat urday for Butte creek, Antelope and Dry creek, for we have to go to the Hub at least once a week, and in the winter time it works a hard ship on us to have to wait as I had to last Saturday. I . would suggest to The Mail publishers that they emyloy an assistant to attend to the wants of those who have busi ness willi .them and not keep us waiting as I had to last Saturday why one would think that there was an auction sale there by - the looks of the crowd. And while on the subject of Ti'.E -.Mail allow me to congratulate you upon the neat appearance of the paper in its new form and make-up. One of your lady readers, at. this place, was hoard to remark that '"llie paper was just- delightful, and 'all it cost was one dollar and a. half a year." Hold Hill Nuggets. 1SY YOUKS TUULY.

The Tolo Mining company has men at work on its claim. This company was organized by .Judge Reed, Attorney White and other Tacoma capitalists and "mining men. They have one of the richest mining propositions in .Southern Oregon. A number of our citizens were in Medford this week, trying to buy out all the stores, but on their re turn reported that it was too large a contract for them, as Medford was full of stores, ami good ones, too. But they traded only with those who advertise through Tiik Mail.

Jufct before leaving the Siskiyous, on one of the high ranges he discovered a vein 01 gold bearing quartz. The ledge is about one foot wide where it crops out. and gold is visible to the naked eye. He offers J. R. Hardin an equal interest in the find. As the snow is very deep there now, they will postpone development work on the new find until spring.

Pickens found a better chick en market in Medford, and also Central Point, than in Portland or San Francisco, and accordingly dis- posed of five dozen fowls at the above mentioned Rogue river valley points.
