Henry Kubli and Frank Knight
were in Jacksonville last week, and
were exhibiting, says a correspon
dent to the Oregonian, some of the
finest ore ever lound in southern
Oregon. The ledge is situated on a
peak near the headwaters of Galb
creek, and about eight miles in a
northwesterly direction from Jack
sonville. The ledge was discover
ed about four years ago, and has
been worked, in a crude way,
with some degree of success ever
since. When the present manage
ment assumed control of the prop
erty, some months since, work was
pushed on the vein and the tun
nel is now in ISO feet, with a depth
from the surface of 140 feet. The
average width of the vein is about
IS inches and running parallel
with this is a feldspar- ledge, from
which the rich ore now being ex:
hibited was taken. The last blast
put in blew out a lot of feldspar,
and upon entering the tunnel alter
the blast it was found to be literallv
strewn with some of the richest
rock ever seen in this country.
The wonderfully rich rock taken
from the famous Gold Hill dis
covery in 1859 was no richer, if as
rich, as this, and the ono remark
able feature of the present dis
covery is that the present rock in
which the .gold is imbedcd is al
most feldspar. This is the first dis
covery of the kind ever reported in
this district, though like discoveries
have been made m California.
The company have no means of
knowing how much of the feldspar
may carry gold, since up to this
time no special attention has been
paid to it. The feldspar is in small
crystaline sections, smooth and
lustrous, and resembles very much
finely polished marble. The gold
lays mainly in large Hat sheets, "but
is also to a limited extent diffused
throughout the rock. Uld miners
appear to be completelv stumped
at the find cn account of the char
acter of the parent rock. The com
pany has now on the dump eighty
tons of the quartz ore and by actual
working test with an arastru, it has
been shown that it will average $50
per ton. A quantity of the rich
specimens will be sent to Judge E.
B. Watson, of Portland, and placed
on exhibition at the Savings bank.
the owners of the mine are K.
Kubli, II. D. Kubli, Frank Knight

Sometime about the first of last
Xoveicber the attention of the G. A. I
boys, of Chester A. Arthur I'ost. of this
city, was called to the fact that there
was a needy G. A. R. brother in this
locality in the person of V. A. Greek,
a gentleman over fifty years of age,
wno-canri Here last pri: and eiuce
employed by John .Mouijitimery. as

soon as his needs of - winter protection
were made kuown J. It. Erford beiran a
correspondence with the officers of the
Soldiers' Home, at lioseburg, asking-
lor admittance tnerclo lor .Mr. Greek.
The application was favorably received
and by the assistance of the county,
in furnUhinij transportation, he was
sent to the Home, and the following let
ter tells how well he likes the place and
his gratitude to those who were in
strumental in placing him there:

Comrade Erkord: I arrived here
on Thanksgiving dy and had a fine
dinner. They tit ted ma out with two
suits of underclothes, pants, shoes and
tiat. 1 was snown to my bed in the
third story a large, nice room with
thirteen beds, one man to the bed. We
have nothing to do only to keep our
selves aud the house clean,, and what
ever other work there is to do, the
same as 11 we were at borne. The table
fare is as trood as at anr hotel. Some
of the boys have a net and we often
have fresh salmon. The house is
lighted with electricity aud we have
hot and cold water on every floor. '1 he
grounds are laid out for a nice flower
garden, but the place is too new yet.
There are eravel walks, and too hack
goes to town (about one and a half
miles) once or twice a dav and if there
are any of the boys who wish to attend
the theatre the team takes them over
and brings them back so that a- man
is as much at home as 11 he had a home
of his own and was in good circum
stances. I thank you very much for
your help in getting me here. Several
are here who nave families and are
drawing pensions. Most of the inmates
are intending to leave in the spring.
A man here has tne privilege to em
ploy any doctor he likes or can doctor
himself if he wants to; can go to
church or stay at home; eat or not, as
be likes; sleep or sit up; in fact he is
at home in every sense of the word.
Yours truly,
W. A. Greek.

A was an archer and shot at a frog.
B is for Bloomer, who now goes
incog. Also for bondsmen, for
boodle and bluff but of this
combination we have had quite
enough.
C is for corruption, that putrid old
thing which largely composes
that grand(?) old ring.
D is for donkeys with big loads on
their backs, and also for farmers
who pay the ring tax. It might
stand for dollars the treasurer
once had but they all flew away
'long with Georgie, to the bad.
E is the elephant who eats hay with
his tail, led by the "Commish"
while the hayseeds bewail.
F stands for farmers, for fools and
for fun and all those who still
vote the old gang to be run.
G is for grab and for gougo a good
deal; if 'you want to know more
interrogate Mr.
II is for honesty, which they tell us
is best, but the gang furnish a
precedent and gives us a rest
I is for injustice which the hayseeds
have all had and always will
have while they vote like their
dad.
J is for Judas, for jugglery and jaw,
which the court tells the farmer
is nothing but law.
K is the kontempt we have for the
judge who let the bondsmen off
on such a rum-fudge.
L is for longevity iniquity can
boast. The ring or the devil, say
which has the most?
M is for mugwump, for muddle and
manner and that is, they say,
what's the matter with Ilanner.
N is for nothing they will all have
to say, like the boy the calf run
over, on that reckoning day.
O is for "0, Lordyl" the taxpayer's
prayer, if he don't change the
tenor and happen to swear.
P is for primp, pomposity and
pride, the phaeton in which poli
ticians like to ride.
Q is the queer way they all have to
do it; though it s a tough cud, the j
farmers must chew it. J
R is for ringster, rascality and ruin; j
also for regrets which the voters
are uoin .
S is for sinner, for sneak and for
snare, and for snide and for soon

soft soap, the halter the farmer
puts round his own throat.
T is for taxpayers with their, bur
dens. Oh, alas! so like Balaam's
saddle-horse the angel could not
pass.
U is for united, the plchians all

poor.
W is the working man, -boot' all out

X is the cross we will all have Xo
bear if we don't kill the crooks
who are infesting our air.
Y is the yankee tricks the poli
