NO. 15 A Weekly Newspaper—Only Paper Published at the County Seat—Devoted to the Interests of the People of Jackson County WILL DEVELOP BUZZARD MINE DIRECTORS MET SATURDAY AND MADE DEFINITE PLANS A meeting of the directors of the Pearl Mining Co. of Jackson County, was held at Central Point Satur day and action was taken to in sure development of the Buzzard mine. This action is a direct result of the building of the smelter at Gold Hill. The ore from this mine contains galena (the ore which contains lead and silver as well as gold) and requires smelting. Approximately one hundred tons of selected ore from this mine has been smelted by the Selvy Smelting Co. of San Francisco and was found to aver age in value about $200 per ton; some running as high as $560 per ton. The company has the smelting company’s certificates showing this. A free gold area, which gives much promise, has recently been discovered in this mine and is now under explora- tion and development. The Buzzard now has approximately 3,000 feet of tunnels, It is located about fifteen miles east of Trail on Elk SCHOOLS ARE MOVED MARRIAGES University of Oregon, Eugene, Aug. 6 (Special).—School children at the big logging camps near Bend' expect rapid changes and think nothing of seeing their school house, containing desks, books, stove and everything but the teacher and themselves, hoisted twenty feet into the air by a huge crane and settled on a railway flat-car, to be moved with the rest of the camp to fresh timber, according to Miss Al- ! thea Stoneman, Bend school nurse, who is taking courses in the Portland summer session of the University. Moves are made on Saturdays or Sundays so that students need miss no working dajs. The schools are sur prisingly well equipped and have trained teachers and high standards, says Miss Stoneman. Under her in spection are approximately 100 chil dren in logging camps, divided into five schools. Water is often scarce and frequently has to be hauled, out the little people are clean and tidy as possible and re spond readily to tooth brushing, states the nurse.

It seems a story from the land of spirits When any man obtains that which he merits, Or any merit that w hich he obtains. Reply to the Above Far shame, dear friend! Renounce this cant- ing strain! What wouldst thou have a great good man obtain? Wealth, title, dignity, gilded chain, Or throne of corses which his sword hath slain? Goodnes and greatness are not means, but ends. Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man? Three treasures—love and light And calm thoughts, equable as infant’s breath; And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, Himself, his Maker and the Angel Death. —Coleridge.
