The New Couuty Printlnrr Law. 'Th. 6alein Capital Jonrnal gives the fol loving history of the new law providing for tb. publUhing of coiuuilssioDer's court pro oaedings in newsp pers. To Mr. llofer, o( th. Journal, belonus much of Ihe creditor seeming Ihe msclmmt of ths law. W. be lirv. it will pro, a uteful piece of leBisla tioo. The Journal says: Tb. bill was presented by the Stat. Press Association. At first it bad no friends, there being not a newspaper man in either houte or senate. Members of tb. press legislativ. committee besought members in vaiu to in troduo. th. bill. It had to make its debut as au orphan, introduced uuder the royal prerogative of every citizen due from bis representative Armstrong, of Marion, fntb sriog it "by request." Thus labeled it went npon the calendar under a cloud, for few bills "by request" ever sea the light of day, It is but just to speiiker Oeor to say that b. appointed sn intelligent committee on pnut ing, to whom th. bill was referred. Mem bersof th. press appeared aud mad. argu ments in its behalf, scouring a favorable re port oa the county printing bill. The bouse printiug oommltte. reported against the bill to have all new laws published iu tb. news papers, and in favor of tb. Gsmbe. bill to print session laws in pamphlet form, oue for each voter. Tb. press committee withdrew the bill to priut th. laws, as they did not wish to sDtngoni.e the friends of tb. Osmbee bill, but secured their aid. Tb. couuty bill im-Mid the bouse by a large vote, aud weut to th. senate, wber. it lay with some two hi: mired other bills until the railroad, tax, ballot, assessment, World's Fair, Columbia river and other Important measures were taken up, debated and dis posed of. On the 20th of Feb. at 10 p. m., bous. bill No. 1G9 was reached aud passed by the constitutional majority and not a vote to spare. It was anxiously followed back into the bouse, sent to tb. enrolling commit. tee, reported back to the house five m mutes beforoth. hour set for flnsl adjournment, signed by th. spanker, messaged to tb. sen ate, signed by the president; messaged back to tb. house, Ihe mcsaago read and th. bill was sent to the governor to receive bis sig nature. That there might b. no mistake about this law being correctly passed th. clerks compared the enrolled bill with th. original house bill, and the chairman of tb. legislative committee was shown th. signa tures of tb. presiding officers. This is ths history of th. passage of th. new Oregon newspaper law,that requires tb. proceedings and list of claims allowed by county courts to be published at couuty expense. Th. new bill will go into effect Muy 31st. It provides for selection of one newspaper in each county, and two newspapers in counties of 10,000 or over, having lurgrst circulation in tb. county, to publish th. pro ceedings of the county couit, Th. price al lowed by law is SO cents per square of ten lines of brevier or its rquivsltnt. The bill is non-partisan, noii mouopolistlo and if any unfairness is shown in making selection of official couuty papers, the aggrieved pub lisher has a right to appeal in court. The law will prove a good investment for Oregon a messur. of ecouomy and tb. legislative oommitte. of the press association feel wel satisfied with th. result of their labors. The press association can now seo lb. re sults of organized effort and pulling together. By Its united labors it bas oompelled th. at tention of the legislature when much more pretentious bodies failed to secure tb. da- sired legislation. It bas secured passsg. of a bill which no member would father, when a two-thirds of the members failed to secure adoption of their owu measures. The many kind friends who assisted the Oregon news- psper m.n will all be remembered in tb. re port of th. legislative oommitte. at th. next stat. convention. Safe Crackers In Ashland. Ashland Tidings, Feb. SO: Th. safe crackers who bare been plying tbeir trade at different places in Oregon along lb. lin. of th. S. P, R. R. bar. com. as far as Ash land, and on Weduesnsy night gav. tb. peopl. bere a sample of their handicraft, and taught ns how easy it is for a profess ional man to go through an ordinary fire proof office safe, At sometime after tb. lectric lights wers put out Woduesdsy night tb. burglars effected an .utrunc. to th. posloffice, through the window at the rear end, and apparently bad all tb. tim. they teeded to do their work. They drilled a half-inch bole through tb. front of th. safeoeur th. combination knob and then Inserted a strong cold-chisel or some tool of thst sort and brok. off short the shaft which held th. tumbler of tbe lock. This let tb lock tnrn without any difficulty, and they were not compelled to use any powder at all. They obtained about two hundred dol lars in cash, but did not take any postsg. stamps, of which a considerable quantity was in tb. safe. When Frank Hammond opened the office in tbe morning b. saw an old purs, and tbe brace tb. burglar, had used lying on tb. floor, and fonnd a caudle that bad given them tb. light tbey needed. ' And then be dii covered that th. sife had been opened sad robbed. Thus far there is no lue that can lead to tb. detection or capture of th. robbers. Tbey are old bands at ths business, and no doubt are safely ont of Ih. coautry with their spoils. Statesman: IIou P. II.

So quietly hss it gon. about its woik and so little stir hss it uisde that few people are aware of th. existence of th. Blue Mouutuin Mining and Milling company, purely a Ta corns syndicate snl on. which promises to make for those interested a fortune, if it docs not provs a bonanza. Some six mouths sgo Ih. Prospectors Mining Milling compsny was organized with 10 stockholders and $10,000 stock for the purpose of investigating a rich field for min ing operations in the stat. of Oregon. A few weeks later snotber company wss organ ized. Tb. Blu. Monntain Mining snd Mill ing compsny, with a capital stock of $j00,- OUO and having uomerona other stoekbold' ers.' ' This fast company liegau work iruiue diately on tb. prospects located by it in Laus county, Oregon, at Quartz Creek Camp, in the lllu. River mining district. The re suit of its operations is shown in the follow' ing iuttrriew with William II. Reed, maus- ger of th. couipauy, published Sunday In Ihe Oregon ian: Uossid: "I au don here in pursuance of a resolution of the board of directors, passed at Ihe last meeting, authorizing me to examine milling machinery for the estab lishment of a ten-stump mill and reduction works on Quartz creek, in Lan. county, Ihe seat of th. blue River mining district. Our company is composed of tb. ;iesding nier ohsnts and business men of Tacom.t, and its officers ar. Judge II. C. Patilck, president; L. McMurray, secretary; E. N. Ouluiette, treasurer; 8. 8. Loeb, vie. president, and myself as manager, and tbo above officers with Max Liebentbsl and Erwin O. Rose directors. "Our company owns 13 mines in this din- trict, all of which are developing, and w. sr. sll enthusiastio over the deposits of gold in the district. We bav. tbe mining expert in charge who duvelopod the Curry Golden mine in Comstock ledge, John W, Welch II. predicts th. richest mining camp in the oountry. Th. district is about four by six miles in area, and ther. aro more than 150 well defined ledges of paying rock that have been developed, but the company la now concentrating its effortsson the claim known as the Gilt Edge mine, situated ou Treasure hill. This is a true fissure claim, outcrop ping more (ban two miles of free-milling quartz. "Th. amount of sulphurets does not ex ceed 3 per cent,, thus enabling the ore to b. milled for $1.00 per ton. W. bar. lately bad five mill tests of or. from this ledge by tbe Tscoma Smelting & Refining Company, which bav. yielded as follows: Tbe first $7.80 in gold and .41 in silver to tb. ton; tbe seoond $3.C0 and .54; the third $33.80 and .40; tbe fourth $55 and $13; and tb. last one $80 Id gold aud silver, but I do not re member th. exact proportion. "There is a bill before tbe legislature now to build a road from Brownsville to these mines, but w. bad rather they would build from Eugoue, as this would lessen the dis tune, from th. railroad by som. 30 miles. I sm now on my way to Eugen. to see if I OAunot induce th. Chamber of Commerce there, through their county commissioners, to furnish means of access by a publio road from that olty, and I tbluk they ar. disposed to do so, ss tb. establishment of mills and mining camp in that vicinity would mean thousands of dollars to that city aloue. W. want ths road cut from th. confluence of tb. McKenzi. and Blue rivers to (he mines, a distance of seven miles. Our company hss been working these mines for over six months steadily, but now w. are running two shifts of men day and night. Tb. result of th. assays I have glv.n you hav. been ac tual by th. Taootna Smelting Company, from ores shipped to tbem In bulk. We have also hsd numerous tests made by pri vate assayers from selected specimens, and bav. yielded from $109 to $1000 per ton. Tb. natural result of this Is that tbe company is satisfied that the ledges will mill on th. aversg. 20 per ton olear gold. This is a re markable average richness, as tb. celebrated Treadwell mln. of Alaska averages but KJ per ton. W. ar. not alon. in this dlstriot, as th. Calupooia and Blu. River Mining aud Milling company, of Brownsville, owns twenty claims and ar. doing soma develop ment work, also a Corvallis company and a Eugen. company have good ledges in th. same district. 'Th. aggregate value of these deposits can hardly be estimated, as there ar. six dis tinct fissure veins running almost parallel, north snd south for nearly two miles, rang ing In width from ilt feet to 10 feet. All this is on an average of 2000 feet abov. the water level, so that w. bsv. continual natu ral drainage snd no pnmping will lie neces sary."

M. Wilkins, Druggist. The IUilroads Win. The Albany Democrat, explaining th. ac tion of the legislature on tb. railroad bills ssys: The railroad companies were alarmed at ths idea of having tb. maximum rate law passed which Mr. Westherford and Mr. Veatch were battling so gallantly for and brought their powerful Influence to bear not only with the Republican Senators who bsd been standing in with tbem, and secured tbe sdoption of sucb amendments to Miller's bill as rendered it harmless to them, and tlieu it p issed Ihe senate with every Repub lican senstor for it and every Democratio senator against it. Ths amendments wer. then concurred in by th. bouse, doubtless after several of its members bad been "in tluenced" by tbe swsrms of railroad officials and attorneys who wers then so actively in the Kibbles. It was openly charged by Mr. Weatberford that the railroads wers having their owu way in securing amend ments to tb. bill, and by consientious men who were present it was ssid to be a most humiliating spectacle to s Republican sen slots who heretofore had been refusing to stand in with the railroads now with meek ness snd humility bending their necks and fitting them to ths collar. It was evident that th. legislation most feared by the rail roads was V catch's bill fixing maximum rates of freights and faros, and tbe least feared by them was tho continuance of the railroad aommission. From this it is evident that the maximum rate bill was most in tbe in terest of the people and tbe commission tb. least beneficial to tbem. Beuatora Weatber ford snd Vealcb stood np manfully for the people and their best interests but the rail roads had csptured th. Republican senators snd the little handful of Democrats could only enter tbeir protests. Governor Hill's Intentions. John C. Shoebau, secretary of the New York city acqueduot commission and broth er of ths speaker of tbe Assembly, is prob ably ss close to Governor Hill as any man in ths State. In an interview with the Con tinent Mr. Bheoban is quoted as saying: "Governor Hill will not resign tbe office nf Governor until next Deoember under any ciroumstauces. I think I may say that he would uot resign should there be an extra session of oongress, and he will oertainly not do so to attend a special session of the United States Senate. The Republicans are very anxious to get Governor Hill away from Albany. If they can get bim out of tb. Governor's chair before tbe adjourn niunt of tb. Legislature tbey tbink they can carry through several schemes which will make it possible to eleot a Republican gov. ernor next full. I have no doubt that Pres ident Harrison has boon requested to call an extra session of Congress to socomplish their object. I believe tbe Republicans ar. even capable of forcing an extra session of Congress to fore. Mr. Hill to leave Albany. If tbey can take Hill out of tbe gubernator ial chair, and thereby carry this Stat. this tall, you can see what sn immense advan tage it would give them in th. presidential rao. in 1893. Governor U ill is too shrewd to b. caught in their snares. If there is an extra session of Congress, or a special ses sion of ths Senate at Washington, the politi cal motive will be so apparent that Gover nor Hill will not b. compelled to attend either one. Ther. is no necessity of bis going to Washington until next December and b. will not do it. He owe. a duty to tb. peopl. of this State, who elected him Governor, to serve out hi. term." Sin in Seattle. Tb. recent onslaught of th .police against the Whitechspel women has depop ulated ths place. Not'a woman was to ba fonnd in that district last nlgbt. Tb. rob. bing dens of the old-timea are as silent aa ths grave. Many of the Whitechspel wom en bav. left tb. town. Those who have re mained, regarding th. raid of th. police spssmodlo and a mere temporary flurry, ar. seeking shelter in th. lodging houses. Per haps a few Japanese women may b. found there, but behind closed and barred doors. All tbe Washington street palace of sin sr. closed. Ther. is an absence of tbe glowing light and th usual insiguias dis played to the publio. Lurking at conven ient distances around ths entrances to these places may be found the familiar blueooat ready to arrest lbs firnt man who should snter th. darkened wsy. Severs! of the Wssbington street house were given a sur prise yesterday morning about 4 o'clock by soling Captain Rogers, who ordered his men to make another descent. It wss not with out iU results. Nina nyman's "olub" w found well filled with lodgers. Besides a number of others three members of the stats legislsture were caught in the bouse and arrested. Fictitious names were given at police headquarters where tb. m.n wer. booked for "visiting." All wer. re lessed on bonds. Gambling, at least to tb. publio, has been closed down. None of th. bouses running heretofore with open door bsv. made an attempt tbua far to reopen. Seattle Telegraph. Ths Salem correspondent of tb. Ashland Tidings compliments tbe D.mocratio mem bers of tb. legislatur. aa follows: Never bsv. a hopeleas minority stood to gether mors firmly that that of th. present legislator, on strictly party measures th. organization, th. election of Senator and Holmes' resolution of advice to Senator Dolph and yet been mora harmonious snd active in th. general interests of ths Stats. Ther. are no psrty line in th. considera tion of the general business, and therefor no aortmonious snd bested debates, and the session is regarded aa quiot and thoroughly business like in sll ita details.
