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

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.

A TAC0MA BONANZA.
A Rich Oregon Mine Owned by Ta
coinantj. (Tscoma Ledger, Feb. 17tb.)
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." The Eug-cue Cigar Factory

That is to say, your lungsi Also all your

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

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
