Guunell, one of the managers of the Opp mine, spent Monday in Grants Pass, returning to Jacksonville Tuesday morning. Mr. Gunnell stated that his company were so well pleased with the gold output from the ten stamps now operated at the Opp mine that they have ordered ten ad ditional stamps. Men are now at work getting the foundations set and on their arrival next week the new stamnB will be put in position with the least possible delay. Tnese stamps, as are those now in operation, will be driv en by electrio power by current from the Gold Kay station of the Condor Water & Power Company. The extensive development that has been done on tbe Opp mine during the past two years, haa fully con vinced the present owners, who are biff New York capitalists, that tbe mine oarries a very large ore body, and all high grade, and that its pro ductive oapacity will warrant a large eauipment. To this end the mill will be enlarged until a year hence it will be dropping forty stamps, lhe devel opment of the past year has put the mine In sbaep to produoe ore for the ten additional stamps now being in stalled. With tbe further opening up of the mine ten more stamps will be installed this summer and next fall the fourth lot of ten stamps will be put In operation. The present build ing is for twenty stamps, but its size will be doubled this summer to give space for tbe new equipment. Well posted mining men prediot that the Opp will become the big mine ot ure gon, rivaling the famous Greenback mine, that is also owned lu New York and whioh oould not be bought for 81,000,000. Though forty miles apart the Greenbaok and Opp mines, as al so the Granite Hill mine, are in tbe same mineral zone and they have every indication of continuing to be big gold producers for years and years to come, and to give Southern Ure son a high standing In tbe mining Death of Col. R. E. Maury. Onoe more there is a vacant place in the fast thinning ranks of the pio neers of Oregon ; onoe again the dim med eyes of those old men, who in their youth and strength oarved out an empire for future generations in the wilds of the west, will read of the passing away of one of their oomradeB of early days. Tuesday morning, February 20th, at i :15 o'clock, the spirit of Col. Reu ben F. Maury took Bight from its earthly tabernaole to join the hosts which have gone before, leaving be bind him a record written high in Southern Oregon history as a kindly, honorable, manly man. No higher enoomium can be given to anyone, Col. .Maury was born in Bath coun ty, Kentuoky, May 23, 1821, and re eived his preliminary eduoation in the public sohools in Louisville and vicinity. At the age of eighteen he entered the postoifioe at Louisville as a clerk and served there until In 1846, when he enlisted as a private in the First Kentucky Infantry for ser vice in the Mexican war. He served one year and rose to the rank of-seo-ond lieutenant, his last promotion be ing for gallantry on the field at the battle of Monterey. In May, 1849, he left Independence, Mo., with a party of young men with ox teams for the sold mines of California. After, three years in California, during which time he waa engaged in mining and freighting, he oame to the Rogue River Valley in 1852. and engaged in the business of freighting. He hauled freight from Scottsburg on the Ump qua and from CreBoent City to the mining oamps of Southern Oregon for several years. In 1854 he entered into the general merchandise business with Benjamin F. Davis and did a big business, but his kind heart, whioh lead him to trust anyone, and treach ery among those whom he had helped, brought about the financial embarrass ment of the firm, but nobody except the partners themselves lost a oent by the failure. In 1859 he helped organ ize the First Oregon Volunteer oaval- ry aud was appointed its lieuteuaut uolonel, afterward rising to the rank of colonel. He served four years, guarding the settlers in Oregon and Washington from Indians, whioh was no siueoure in those dayB. no and hia regiment were mustered out at Vancouver in 1865 and Col. Maury re turned to Jacksonville. In 1856 he was married to Elizabeth Chambers, daughter of Aaron Chambers, one of the pioneers of Jacksonville, and from this union six children were born, live of whom survive him: Law rence P., or Coquille; Mary P,. Henry O. and Gillis M., this oounty, and Sallie M., (now Mrs. J. E, Cow- gill, of San Mateo, Calif. All the children were preaent during his last moments. In 1878 Mrs. Maury passed away and Miss Mary then a girl in her teens, took the mother's plaoe as head of the household an devoted all her ener gies to the bringing up of her young er brothers and sisters. With tin passing of Col. Maury Jaokson oounty loses one of its most familiar figures and one of its DOBt upright citizens. t The funeral took plaoe VV ednesday afternoon, funeral services being held at his late residence in Jacksonville preolnct and the interment taking place in Jacksonville cemetery.

Pettibone, a member of the miners' exeoutive board of that as sociation, were arrested in this oity ast night on warrants charging them with ooinplicity tn tbe murder of ex- Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho, and were taken from their cells in the county jail at an early hour this morning by an armed guard of twelve deputy sheriffs, esoorting to the Union Depot and were there placed on , board a speoiul train that a few min ute" later left the station , oarrying: the entire party, prisoners and armed deputies, over the Union Paolfla rail- '' road on the way for Boise, Idaho. The three men ' were taken out of the oity as prisoners of - the Idaho authorities, it was learned today, were arrested last night by three different' officers, after extraditiou papera had been signed by Governor MoDonald. The papers were delivered to the gov ernor Thursday last, but not a word to the effeot was allowed to escape from the exeoutive chamber. In fact, it Is believed that no one except the authoritie who oame witn them to this city was advised tbat Governor Mo Donald had in bis possession the pa pers issued In Idaho. With the arrest of the two beads of tbe Western Federation of Mines comes to light the story of a plot to do murder lu this state . that makes tbe blood run oold. Those in publio offioe who had taken a part in the overthrow of the Western Federation were to have met the fate f Idaho's ex-governor, who had used bis offioe to arrest and punish the murders of the Coeur d'lAleces. All the horrors of Cripple oreek, the blowing up of the depot at Independ ence, the mine horrors, have oome to ligt through confessions said to have been made recently by men arrested , In connection with the Steunenberg assassination. Harry Orobard is one of the culprits who has made oonfe s Blon of the plots of the "Inner cirole" of the Federation. Orohnrd, who was arrested for tbe murder of ex-Governor Steuenberg, is well known to Cripple oreek authori ties. When caught iu Idaho he was--immediately identified by the Cripple creek authorities. Since that time Orohard has made - a confession of his wbolo part in the body transaction. Ho has told of lso his oonneotion with the Cripple oreek work, from the attempts made to de rail aud throw a train over an em bankment, down to the Independence - dlsuBter, which brought about a scat tering of the "inner oirole" of tbe Dynamiters' Club, many going to Idaho. . From other sources tho Idaho aBsaBsination haB been brought home to prominent members of the federa-tion. It Is oharged that tho Dynamiters' Club had made all preparations for the assassination of members of the- state supreme court of Colorado, who had given opinions hostile to Hay wood and Moyer and tho WeaternFed orution. Ex-Governor Peubody and Adjutant-General Beil are said to havo been on the list for slaughter. Dynamite bombs were placed In this oity to oatch certain members of the aourt and the ex-goveruor and his ad-jiitunt-gouerul, and they were dug up not very many days ago as a result of tho confessions that have been ex torted from tho men under arrest In ldnho. Tbe mvstorious usuaseiuatiou of Martin B. Walloy, a Cripple oreek mining ongineoi, while on hie way to his homo iu this oity one morning, hus been cleared. He was the victim of the dynamiters who bad sworn to kill and destroy all who had opposed the reign of the Federation. He bad given oll'ense to the organization. MR. CHARLES B.
