GRANT'S PASS, Or., May 17. Tester
da S. D. Johnson, whn roeentlv arrived
from Iowa, came Into Grant's Pass with j
a bag of nuggets i and 'gold dust that he!
had removpd from a discovery on Jack j
Creek. In the Jump-Off-Joe district. The
discovers" is the mine which had been lost
for SO earh.
John.son -was grubstaked to this country
by a capitalist of Colorado Springs. Colo.
This capitalist had been In Southern Ore
gon during the pioneer days. Among
others, he made a rich discovery on Jack
Creek, In the Jump-Off-Joe district, north
ern Josephine County. This find "was
In the nature of an auriferous gravel bed,
rich In coarse gold and nuggets. He
had just begun work upon his bonanza
"when he and hi3 companions were at
tacked by Indians and forced to flee for
their lives. He, left Southern Oregon and
went to Colorado, where he made his for
tune. He did not forget.hls find In South
ern Oregon, and, after CO years had passed
he sent his friend Johnson here to make
ty search for it. He made a rough sketch
of the district, and. armed with this.
Johnson came to Grant's Pass about a
week ago. He found Jack Creek and
had prospected but a little while on the
rich gravel bars when he removed $26 In
coarse gold, and, searching further, found
a number of good-sized nuggets. He was
nearly wild with delight, knowing that he
had found the lost mine.
Johnson found that the claims had been
located, but had no trouble In purchasing
them for $1500, the owners not knowing
of the discovery. Johnson has gone back
to Colorado, but will return within a
month and begin equipping his discovery
with a hvdraulic plant. Ditches, piping
and giants will be put In, and the prop
erty converted into an extensive hydraulic
xnine.
BONANZA SUSPENDS OPERATIONS.
Extensive Repairs to Dc Made to the
Plant of the Bl? Mine.
SUMPTER. Or., May 17. Operations at
the Bonanza mine have been suspended
for a time. It is stated that there Is not
enough ore being brought up to keep the
mill going. The "jig hoist Installed by
the company was put Into operation last
week, when it was supposed that the
hoisting capacity of the old and new
plants would Insure against any stoppage
of the mill. While the new hoist was
being erected, the old equipment was un
able to handle ore from the lower levels
end also the waste for extensive develop
ment. It is said by those informed that sink
ing continues in the big shaft, which
would Indicate that it is the purpose of
the management to open up the lower
levels to this hoist. An upraise Is also
being run from the lower levels to con
nect with the new shaft, which warrants
the belief that the suspension of work Is
due to the desire to make use of the $200,
000 hoist on those levels before other v, ork
Is done.
A few weeks ago the management had
Bome trouble with the shaftmen, over, the
wage scale. Direct hiring of shaftmen
was stopped then, and the men given the
work under the contract 6ystem. At the
same time 25 or 30 men engaged In devel
oping the lower levels, were laid off, and
development continued only In the upper
part of the mine. When the new shaft
taps the lower workings, where the rich
est ore was struck, the Bonanza will be
In operation again on a greater scale
than ever before.
Big: Foot Mine Sold.
GOLD HILL., Or., May 17. The Big
Foot mine, three miles west of town, was
yesterday sold to E. Brlggs, a California
miner, for -$3000 cash. The vein on this
property, though small. Is rich In free gold.
Messrs. Lane and McCleary discovered
a big low-grade ledge on the Hlnkle mine,
at the head of Sardine Creek, carrying
from $5 to $8 In free gold. ,

"Washington National Gnard to Go
Into Camp This Summer.
OLYMPIA, Wash., May 17. The first
encampment of the National Guard of
this state since 1894 will be held this year.
This much has been announced by Adjutant-General
Drain, but the time and
place of the encampment cannot be deter
mined until the fate of what is known as
the Dick.blll. tiow before Congress, is de
cided. The Dick bill provides for Joint
encampments of the National Guard nnd
Federal troops, and a system of Instruc
tion In connection therewith for the bene
fit of the uard. If the bill becomes a
law an effort will bo made to take ad
vantage of its provisions this year, but In
any event an encampment of the guard
of this state will be held. General Drain
says the encampment will not be a picnic
or a junketing trip for the members of
the guard. They will receive pay while
they are In camp, and 1$ Is expected that
the state will receive In return an in
crease in efficiency by reason of such en
campment. The duration of the encamp
ment will be 10 days. AU of the troops
will be under command of Colonel George
B. Lamping, commanding officer of the
First Infantry Regiment.

la still active, and spends most of his time around the farm trimming
the trees' and shrubbery and attending to his bees, in the study of which

TO BUY . PALOUSE MILL
"WISCONSIN LUMBER MEN ARE MAK
ING THE DEAL.
"Will Increase Its Capacity o ?1B-
000,000 Feet PerJSenson Demand
For Timber Lands In Union.
COLFAX, Wash., May 17. A big deal
of Importance to the lumber industry of
this country Is on at PalouBC, and will
probably be closed within the next fow
days. The deal Involves the purchase by
a syndicate of lumber men from Wiscon
sin of the big sawmill and factory, mill
sites and timber owned by the Palouse
River Lumber Company, of Palouse. Ex
ports are now cruising in the timber
owned by the mill company, including
IGO.UOO.OOO feet recently purchased from the
Hypotheekbank, and when they return
with their estimates of the amount of
timber on the lands. It Is thought the
deal will be closed. If the mill and other
property Is bought by the syndlcato, the
capacity of the plant will be increased
and the output more than doubled. The
mill now has a capacity of about 6,000,000
feet of lumber during the season. It is
the Intention to Increase this to at least
15,000,000 feet. If the deal goes through,
the syndicate will buy all the timber
lands offered along the Palouse River, in
Idaho, and will make Palouse the great
est lumber center In the Palouse coun
try. The syndicated said to have a cap
ital of $1,000,000, and to be composed of
men who have made fortunes in lumber
ing in Wisconsin.
DEMAND FOR TI3IBER LAND.
Eastern Lumber Men Seeking Loca
tions Along: Catherine Creelt.
UNION, Or., May 17. There is a rush
on to take up timber land along Cath
erine Creek, east of this city. For sev
eral months past timber cruisers repre
senting Wisconsin and Minnesota lumber
ing Interests have been examining the
vast body of timber which begins about
10 miles east of Union and extends for a
distance of 30 or 40 miles, and as a result
almost every train now brings people
from those states, who at once leave for
the timber and make selections for filing.
About 40 people have taken timber here
during the past few weeks, and the move
ment has but commenced. A represent
ative of a Wisconsin speculator said to
day that he was expecting 40 people here
during the next few days to make loca
tions in the Catherine section. One of the
companies has already located a site on
Catherine Creek for a big sawmill. There
Is a strong probability of a railroad be
ing built from Union Into this timber In
the near future, and this rush Is In antici
pation of the construction of the road.
NO VACANT DWELLINGS.
Advance in Prices of Materials Re
tards Building in Balcer City.
BAKER CITY, May 17. Despite the
fact that a number of new dwellings have
been completed within the past month,
vacant houses are very scarce In this
city. The demand for cottages and more
pretentious structures Is steadily increas
ing. Landlords who contemplate erect
ing houses to rent this season have been
deterred because of the sudden advance
in the price of building materials. It
costs about 25 per cent more to build now
than it did two months ago. The prin
cipal cause for the advance in lumber is
the heavy demand for timber for railroad
construction on the two new roads now
building from Salt Lake City to. Los An
geles, by the Oregon Short Line and
Senator W. A. Clark.

the plate is uncomfortable. Sometimes a little shaping, or a little grinding, or polishing, is suf
