I MINING NOTES. Prank Log and MoDaniele are ground sluclng and are taking out. good money,'; , ; Wm. Dostwick has seourod a half interest in the Vickroy mine and will help to operate tbe plant tola winter. Floyd Pearoe and bis father will follow up their pay streak, across tbe county road, so we are informed, and will undoubtedly find it rioher this winter than ever. , j A Mr. Smith, of Illinois, has pur chased the Houghton mine on Foots creek. John Winningbam, of Forest creek, will operate the mine this winter and has moved thereto with bis family. The mine is well filled with hydraullos and considerable ground will be moved during tbe season. It is reported that John R. Harvey, manager of tbe Old Chan nel Mining Company, whose prop erty is on Six Mile, has employed twenty men to fit up tbe mine for active operations this winter. Tbe men will be engaged for the present in putting in flumes, laying hy draulic pipe and generally repair ing and equipping tne plant for an effective season's work. . Fred' Miller, who owns a valuable plaeer mine on Missouri Flat, and who has heretofore been operating it in a slow and unsatisfactory man ner, has enlarged his plant, widened and extended his flume, and is now runniug his giant night and day and doing rapid and effective work in cleaning bedrock. Mr. Miller thinks the prospects for a profitable season's run are very encouraging. Forest oreek mining items from our regular correspondent: James Davis, who has purchased the hydraulio mine on the right band fork of Forest creek, formerly owned by Cook & Howland, has tbe water right of two creeks and expects to pipe a goodly amount of ground this season, and as a good pay streak has been struck there is no question but tbat he will make a goo J clean-up. He is now pip- ing. , S. C. Ruble is contemplating the construction of a Kuble gravel ele vator on the Wilson hydraulic mine, formerly known as the Woodcock mine, in the Illinois river district. No invention or auxiliary of this character, so far as Tun Mail has been able to learn, has ever given satisfaction. It is hoped, however, that Mr, Ruble's plan will work. Some effective means of this char acter to ' overcome natural dis advantages has long betn a desid eratum with miners. ' Tbe Pence brothers, interested in the Winningbam & Co. mine, on Forest creek,... were in. ! Medfbrd Thursday, from whom it was learned that a new shaft has' .been started on the mine to determine, if possi ble, the extent of tbe ?pay ohute. A tunnel, commenced a short time ago to Up the ledge 100 feet below tbe shaft, whioh is now 60 feet deep, is irt 50 feet. Work on both the tunnel and shaft will be puBhed un til a connection is formed, when tunnels will be run eaoh way On the ledge, and snob general develop ment work done as will 'approxi mate the value of tbe property.' A third crushing, at tbe Kennedy mill on Applegate, whioh ' baa not been reported, yielded a no leas sat isfactory result than the two for merly noted, the average of the three, per ton, being about $36.60. From the results so far, this is cer tainly: a very encouraging mine. The pay streak or vein is thirty-one inohes in width. They are now at work putting in a Huntington mill. An Enterprising Firm.

A giant private of the Montanas ohoae a different method. When he was fired on at a distance of about ten yards and . missed, he caught his Jneuiy, took hia- -gun away from him and then laid hiiu across his knees. After he hod vigor ously applied: av piece Of lwmboo ' he V aeized uie anemy by the seat of the trousers and threw him toward the rear.': ' ' " -Jhere!" he said. "Don't yo let me catch you playing with firearms again." Tbe little black man s confidence la tbe European rifle has waned. In thn beginning be thought that he bad only to discharge his mauaer at a white man. nnd the white man was dead. This led to the firing from the houses and the reckless chances which the . Filipino took at first when their losses were ao , great. Now they apparently are "good" after they are captured, and 'they do not fire from houses. Moat of whatever their leaders know of military practice, they have learned from the Spaniards. They are as facile in imitation aa tho -Chinese. Their buglers now do our calls as well as their own. By watching u thay found out . that Jbr-y ..have been firing too high, and now they are try ing to fire low. They succeed until the voUey s from our skirmish' line begin to pour in. Then they cringe too much in . their trenches to aim on a level. Their trenches (of the Spanish type) are built under cover, at strategic points, which admit of easy defense andyretreat, with the smallest possible exposure, once the - Americans advance. On a wall above the line of one insurgent trench were 16 abrosures by bullets in a space two feet by one. Such music as was played there is disconcerting.
