W illiams C rbkk , March 6, 1875.
To tiie E ditor of the T imes :
Inasmuch as you have had no communi
cation from this section for some time, I
will try and give you a few items of a local
character. It would be greatly to my ac
commodation, and no doubt to yours, did I
have something of a startling or sensational
nature to transmit for publication. In the
absence of anything extraordinary or sen
sational, I am compelled to treat of common
place incidents.
I need hardly make mention of the fact—
in view of recent discoveries—that “benight
ed Josephine” is hopefully looking up
again, and, if present prospects hold out,
will soon be in a position to ask no odds of
her sister counties. She lias struggled long
and bravely against adverse circumstances,
unbefriended by either near or distant
neighbors. In the days of her prosperity
she was courted by adventurers from all
]>arts of the world ; in the hour of adversity
she became an object of sublime indiffer
ence. Having mountains chiefly to boast
of, permanent population has extended to
her an undue proportion of cold shoulder.
But, after all, our mountains may prove our
most valuable possession. Nature is said
not to waste any material, and to what other
use besides bearing precious metals could
such mountains as these be put ? I pre
sume, like a sensible editor, you give it up.
As an additional evidence that “benighted
Josephine” is becoming unbenighted I cite
the fact that we have now, (what wo have
not had for several years,) a traveling
preacher. Rev. Mr. Haines, M. E. Church
South, recently arrived in this county from
Tennessee, having boen transferred to this
State as his future field of labor. Mr. Haines
is quite a young man for tho ministry, but
enters upon tho discharge of his duties with
energy and confidence.
Wo havo also had tho lienefit of a phreno
logical lecturer in our midst, recently—scru
tinizing the physiognomy and feeling for
the bumps and purses of our people. Ilis
advent was signalized by tho astounding
discovery that many of our old bachelors,
in spito of their rigid adherence to single-
ble isodness, arc absolutely on tho marry,
and that many of our young ladies aro pre
eminently fond of hash, as well as of the
opposite sex. What precise effect these
stunning discoveries will have upon the
market value of Southern Oregon “bonan
za,” I will not attempt to compute. Al
though ho charged a good price for his
charts, ho usually gavo good ones—under
the wise supposition, no doubt, that nobody
wishes to pay a high price for an inferior
article. As a lecturer, he is a failure, being
“no orator” as Brutus is supposed to have
been.
You have probably been otherwise ad
vised of the fact that wo have now* a flour
ishing Giange organized on Williams Creek.
This makes tho third in the counrtv—enough
to form a Council. Farming prospects are
very favorable at present. Stock have done
well this winter.
Mining in placer diggings has proved a
failure this season. Quartz prospecting is
our only alternative. Work on tho Horse
head lead will probably commence now
shortly. A new silver lead has been dis
covered lately. Jack Layton has his big
hydraulic onca more under way, though
with but a small head of water.
Williams Creek is a good place for a saw-
mill. A blacksmith shop is also needed*
