but it does not fully meet the expecta-
tlons of the company. Samples of It
have been sent by Prof. Durable to San
Francisco, where the company will
have teste and analyses made, and if
the coal is found to meet their require'
ments work will be resumed at the
nine, and its full development will be
pushed with all possible speed. But If
It proves to not be . a good locomotive
coal, then an effort will be made to find
a better quality of coal in some of the
many coal prospects that are to be
found in several localities In the valley.
The only thtng that will prevent the
Southern Pacifio from further prospect
ing for coal In this county Is the exorbi
tant values that the land owners have
placed upon their lands. If they would
meet the company half way the que
tion would soon be settled as to whether
they were the owners of a paying coal
mine or not. Messrs. Dnmble and
Owens left Thursday morning for Evans
creek, with a force of men and tools,
and will do prospecting in that vici ilty.

Southern Oregon can be soen in the
park of J. W. Prall, two miles north of
Medford. This interesting event took
place last week, and so far as Mr,
Prall knows there may be two baby
eiKs, ror ho has not been near enough
to the old elk to asoertalu whether it is
the same little fellow that he soes
dodging through the brush or whether
there are two of them, his ourlosity
betug restrained by the pugnacity of
the bull elk and the unusual shyness of
the cow. Many have doubted whother
elk would breed in captivity, but this
event prove that they will, at least
where they are given some of the free
dom and conditions that they have In
their wild state. The elk In Mr, Prall's
park have all the requirements for their
comfort except unrestrained liberty.
The park consists of 20 acres of wooded
and grass laud along Bear creek and la
an Ideal retreat for elk. The park is
fenoed with six boards and three barbed
wires, so that there is noohauce for the
elk to jump out. Mr. Prall also has i
band of deer In his park, there now be
ing about fifteen head. The deer breed
readily and are increasing lu number
quite fast. To add to the attractions of
his park, Mr. Prall seoured two younir
antelope, when In Lake County recently

antelope in which there were two
young ones. The boys, who arc
trained horsemen, gave chaso and after
running the antelope nearly half a dav
ana wearing two horses out they oaught
the two little ones, a buck and a doe.
me ooys were then thirty milos from
their camp and they had to carry the
antelope horseback all that distance.
From that camp to Medford, 250 miles,
they hauled the antelope in their wagon
arriving here with them safe and sound
and they are now in the park with the
elk and deer and appear to be as con
tented and well fed as though ran trine
