WHEN" HE SKIPPED FEW INCHES
FOUT JOKS. f ':!., Feb. 2.1. Hen
Nonl and the Atterberry brothers have
uncovered in (JuartH valley what prom
ises to be one of the richest ledges in
this region. They stripped l"it feet of
the vein, which averaged about 12
inches in width, and t he whole runs
above $;t."r pi-r ton, and uiiuh of it is
specimen rod:.
Cuts made on the ledge at different
points for several hundred feet show
the rock holds its value wherever touch
ed.
As the ledge crosses the Gardner &
Weed patent ground, Gardner has pur
chased the eal interest and will doubt
lefs fee tire !i -it of the Aterherry broth
ers. J n this discovery t here is manifest
what the miners call "hick."
Some prospector in the early days of
California found :i trace of this ledge
and run a cut for .in feet up to wilhlr.
one foot of the ledge. Then, for some
reason, skipped about two ami a h:ilf
feet and again trenched a short dis
tance, and finally abandoned the search,
after being so near to a fortune. The
two and a half feet he skipped held
the ledge he was looking for. and it
was gleaming with yellow gold.

Bill Passage
"Medford is growing ko fast and her
prospects are so flattering for increas
ed railroad business, that wo have been
forced to refuse many requests for laud
along the right of wav for the use of
lumber yards and similar purposes," i
said Superintendent W. A. Fields of the
Southern Pacific railioad. who spent
Thursday iu Medford examining condi
tions. As a result, be irave the Med
ford Lumber company and the Woods
Lumber company tracts along the right
of way north of Kighth street and to the
(tig Pines Lumber company a tract ad
.joining their present vard, south of
Sixth street. The leasee will enable the
Medford Lumber company to move their
yards from South C street and provide
extensions for both the other lumber
van Is,
'These are the last leases for lumber
yards Unit we can give at Medford."
continued Mr. Fields, "and we have
lie vera 1 other application!:, but. all the
land will be needed for warehouses in
the immediate future. It ban been esti
mated that a thousand carloads of fruit
will be shipped from here this year, and
as the ratio of increase grows with
each year, the railroad will need nil
of its land not covered with warehouses
for switching purposes."
Mr. Fields was very much pleased
with the passage of the Crater Lake
rend bil land asserts that it will mean
more to this country than any one thing
that ever happened. Within a year, he
predicts, all railroads will be advertis
ing Crater Lake iu every magazine and
newspaper of the country, as they have
in the past advertised the Yosennto and
