IN FREE GOLD
Party Looking for Coal on Sheep
Ranch Stumble Upon Ore Heavy
With Precious Metal.
Furthor details tftwivetl of the gold
strike near Ashland confirm reports
of its being the richest discovery of
free milling qunrtz ever made in that
region, The prospect is located upon a
sheep ranch, seven miles east of AriU
land, and was discovered by a party
of citizens, comprising P. H. Heoerlec,
J. X. Smith, P. 0. MeVilU:ims and J.
P. Tyman, the latter a mining expert
from Coenr dAlene, Idaho.
The party was out in search of coal
prospeets and did not think of looking
for gold ns this section, has never nenn
looked on as n mineral district. The
find wns purely accidental nnd was
made bv Mr. Ifeberlee, who knew less
nbout prospecting for gold than anyone
in the party. When the ore was shown
to Mr. Tvmitu, it was at once pronounc
ed to be decomposed quartz, carrying
gold, and when panned b'ft n string
nf rfee gold nil n round tlio pan. tur-
titer development proved it to be n
vorv rich strike... The rock will go
hundreds of dollars to the ton.
More is being done in a miuing way
nronnd Ashland than has been don
for several years. The new owners
of tho Ashland mine have a foree of
', men excavating ground for n mill nt
tho mine nnd will soon commence to
grind out the rich ore on the south
drift. The Shorty Tfope people still
continue to open up more rich ground,
nnd it is conservatively estimated that
thev have now in sight fully $2.10,000
worth of milling ore.
Mr. Kvans, the lending mining man
of that locality, will put a force of
men at work on the Good Friday mine
in a few davs. This mine is two miles
west of Ashland and is rich in free
cold.
The Ashland coal mine, four miles
from the city on Immigrant creek, will
open up shortly under now management
nnd will hnvo the advantage of having
an experienced coal man to look after
the development, nl that has been need
ed to make this fl good paying prop
erty. The erection of three business blocks
at a cost of $1.jO,000 is contemplated
in Ashland, so that people of that thriv
ing city nre confident of the future
And sure of a place among the prosper
ous cities of the Itogno River valley.
MEN WILL SOON BE ABLE
,TO PLY WITH THE BIRDS
NEW YORK, June il Patrick Y.
Alexander, the wealthy Englishman,
who inclines strongly to aeronautics,
was n passenger on the Mnuretania, hav
ing arrived in this city last Satur
day morning on the Campania for
just "a few days nf rest." before
leaving the city Mr. Alexander said.
"A man in rowing n boat pulls 70
or 80 pouuds; in fact, with tho same
kind of an arrangement ns n rowing
machine in a kymnastuni, one man is
able to pull or ieft 600 pounds. Might
it not be possible, with suitable sur
faces of wings, for a man to propel
himself t hrough t he a i r by h is own
power? We are now lifting in a l.'i mile
wind nearly three pounds to tho square
foot."
Speaking of flying machines gener
ally, Mr. Alexander said:
"They nre being built too light to
be practicable. The lighter the machine
the more easily it is east about by tho
wind pnft's. The trouble abrond is the
procuring of uiotorK which will run
without overheating. Gasoline motors
are being built so light the.t they can
not be kept cool The machines are not
perfected to such a degree that a into
tor of more weight can be carried.
There is no reason why machines should
be built, so light there must be a bet
ter form than that generally followed.
"Even with the present forms it
mig'ht be possible to generate artificial
currents nf ir against the planes.
These artificial currents of nir would
assist in lifting the machine, would re
duce the power necessnry to drive them
and would ward off outside eddins and
currents which tend to deflect the
course of n machine. The plan would
not bo difficult to try out."
OIRL8 CAN BUY CIGARETTES IN
ENOLAIND, BUT BOYS CAN'T
LONDON, .June M It in now legal
for a girl to buy cigarettes in England
smoke them, but a boy is not allowed
this privilege, according to a Inw which
goes into effect next we'k. The bill
does not make it an offense to give
away cigarettes, so the young men will
have tn apply to their sisters to bny
their smokes for them.
The peculiar situation arises nut of
tne wording of the law, whir), rend
'hoy" inthe clause making it illegal
for minors to purchase cigarettes. The
hill originally read "minor porsnus,"
but was rhang'-d while the hill wn
before the house of commons, the Rrit
ish lawmakers bring unwilling to be tin
gallant enough to restrict nui-h mem
hers nf the fair sex ns rare to smoke.

NEW YORK, Juno 10. New York
had its first public view today of one
of the new sheath gnwns with a wearer
inside and tho old town could have
been scarcely moro excited had the
stock exchange gono out of business.
The most vivid recollections of the
hundreds who witnessed the nffair is
that the woman wore gray stockings.
This much they know, for this much
they saw. True, tho woman had on a
pearl gray gown, matched with nn im
mense gray hat, but these were inci-
lents to the dainty effect disclosed bv
the slit in the side of her skirt that ex
tended from tho knee to the hem, if
that is what von would call the boun
dary line of a skirt.
The fair young thing who turned the
heads of all who saw her went to the
pier to aeo n friend off on tho Oceanic.
She drove to tho pier in n carriage and
with her escort started jnuntily up the
gangplank. Tn some mysterious man
ner the crowd instantly Reemod to get
next and there was more rubber-necking
the next few minutes than was ever
known among a like number of people
in the history of the world.
She first blushed nnd then blanched,
then noiplussed herself, while her gal
lant escort tried to fight his wav
through the crowds. They finally
reached the boat.
