In the Orueoolun of date June 10, 1808, appeared nn item under the cap tion of ' Mlh-s in Southern Oreeon." After leKuiy In detail many important features of Josephine County mines that pupur dropped down to a state ment that the cold product of Jackson County for 187 was $27,040.20, and in silver' the output was $1,493.84. Just where tho Orrgonian seoured its data is not known but that the article was grossly in error oan be proven by us people who are familiar with the yearly output of minerals of the county. While a statement of that nature made by a journal as prominent as tbe Ore gonlan Is sure to work a hardship, we peopln down here feel that we oan for nlve knowing ns we do that the paper in question has been imposed upon by some writer who is over anxious for Josephine County and malioiously "agln" Jackson County, but when the artlolo retorred to Is reproduced in the Grants Pass Mining Journal as it were in its entirety and without comment the Josephine County woodohuok in the fence oorner Is more apparent than ever before. The journal knows a statement suoh as the above is all un true and the paper's subscribers In this oounty will undoubtedly prove to tho publisher of tbat journal that euch un reliable news is not wanted and that any attempt to belittle our county's miners will not be passed by unnoticed. As a mattor of foot $24,000 Is less than one-tenth of the annual gold out put of JaokBo'n County. Lot us cite: The Sterling- mine's annual output for the past several years has not been less tban 100,000; the Sturtrls mine, not loss than $20,000; tbe Jack Luton mine can be Hgured easily at $40,uuo.
