The retorts for Cooling & Co.’s cinna bar mines, in the Evans Creek District, we are informed, have arrived and been taken to their destination. The work on Bilger, Coates & Co.’s cinnabar ledge, east of town, still con tinues. A shaft of considerable depth has been sunk on it, and the rock is of a very promising nature, A rich mining discovery of some kind has been made somewhere, but the locality i3 not known at present. Some parties have started from this place for the scene, but were careful to leave no trace behind. The Bulletin says Mr. Jay G. Kelly, the mining expert and assayer, arrived in Portland Thursday from Seattle, and is en route for the Southern Ore gon mines for the purpose of erecting a quartz mill on claims recently located by him. ('as. Murray, of Siskiyou county, who was hound for the Galice Creek mines, so wo are informed by ’Squire Steele, of Yreka, has made a promis ing cinnabar discovery across Rogue River. The ore he exhibited is said to be very fine. The mining prospects of this and Josephine counties are very encour aging. There is quite a number of prospectors coming in from other sec tions, while the residents here are also active. We may expect something big ere long, as the country will doubt less be well prospected this year. We received a letter this w’eek from E. G. Browning, the owner of the quartz ledge on Grave Creek. We' stated a few weeks ago it was reported that these mines were worked out, says the Plaindealer, but Mr. Brown ing says such is not the case. He has been only saving the gold heretofore, but he is now getting machinery to save the silver also. The last run of seventeen days mado only a partial clean up and got over twenty ounces. He did all the work himself. He claims that the ledge is only just opened, and is as rich as any yet found. Mr. Browning wishes his friends to call and see him five miles above the stage road, on Grave Creek. I i i B arden .—The Sentinel of last week, in commenting on our article relating to the above individual, does not seem to think that Barden’s death at this time would disappoint the public, and argues that it would save the county considerable money if he should die now. While the people of Jackson county desire to have justice done, re gardless of expense, our cotemporary errs in supposing that the county would be out a few thousand by his natural death. Barden has considera ble property, and if he comes to trial the State has a lien on it—the real es tate, at least—and can recover the costs, unless ho is acquitted. On the contrary, his death now would pre clude a trial, and the county would lose what it has already expended on him. Consequently, it would not only disappoint the public in justice not being done, but the county would be loser In the bargain, which latter argu ment appears to be the nucleus of the Sentinel's article. P lummer ’ s D rying M ethod . — We last Friday received a call from E. Spaulding, traveling agent for the Spaulding Bros., proprietors of Plum mer’s Fruit Drying Apparatus. The advantages claimed for this method over the Alden are that the capacity of one Plummer is equal to three Al- dens, occupies a building of one story, while a three-story one is needed for the other, and is cheaper. It also dries vegetables as well as fruit. Mr. Spauld ing left a small package of pumpkin dried by this method with us, which has every appearance of being equal to the fresh pumpkin itself. lie has dis posed of a number of these machines in Oregon, and his business here was to see what prospects there were of Jackson county investing in one. What success he had we did not learn. A gricultural I mplements .—At tention is called to the extensive ad vertisement of Hawley, Dodd & Co., the leading dealers in agricultural im plements of Portland and also the State. They are agents for the cele brated “Challenge Thresher,” Buck eye Mower and Reaper, Haines’ Head er, Marsh Harvester and other first- class agricultural implements, as well as the renowned Mitchell and Shuttier wagons. Their prices are moderate and wares superior. Our farmers should favor them with their orders, as the well known reputation of this firm is sufficient guarantee that they will fare well in buying of them. lake county items .

The good rain has been coming down, and all nature is refreshed and man kind rejoicing. The Fort Klamath Minstrel Troupe amuses the people by their excellent performances. School, under the guidance of II. Clayton, is well attended and progress ing satisfactorily. The monotonous routine of life at Fort Klamath is very agreeably bro ken by the presence of a number of lady visitors. Messrs.

O bserver . ■■ ■ — ♦—■■ ■ ■ C innabar .—A number of Oregon ians from Jacksonville, says the Yreka Journal, have colonized a mining Dis trict on West Beaver Creek, in the Siskiyou range, in Siskiyou county, and located some ten claims on a rich cinnabar ledge. The claims aro all I, 500 feet in length and GOO feet wide, or 300 feet on each side of tho ledge, as shown by the descriptions sent to the Clerk’s office last week and now on record. The locators probably made their own local laws and elected a re corder, and we suppose the claims can remain without any work on them for a year, they having been taken up in compliance with the laws of this State and the United States, which recognize certain local regulations. In one of the claims a tunnel has been run, no tice of which is also recorded. This cinnabar ledgo is undoubtedly a rich paying one, as several good prospects have been found in Oregon also, not far from the locality above named. Messrs. Henry Klippel, W. F. Cornell and Wm. M. Turner are doubtless the discoverers, as they have been pros pecting for cinnabar in the Siskiyous some time, and bring rich rock as the result of their labors. The annual meeting of the Jackson County Agricultural Society was held, pursuant to notice, on Thursday, May 13th, at 1 o’clock p. m . J. S. Herrin, President, called the meeting to order, and in a few clear, concise and appropriate remarks set forth the objects and purposes of the Society, the practical benefits to be derived from a Fair properly conducted, etc. Several members spoke at length of the importance of such an organization and the benefits which would accrue to agriculturalists generally by a Coun ty Fair properly and judiciously man aged. The election of officers being in or der, the following persons were nomi nated for President, namely : Jacob Ish, Conrad Mingus, D. S. K. Buick, Jesse Dollarhide, J. E. Rbss, W. C. Myer, L. Chappel. Jacob Ish having received, on second ballot, a majority of all the votes cast, was declared duly elected President of the Society for the ensuing year. J. S. Herrin and L. Chappel were elected Vice Presidents; M. Hanley, Treasurer; W. J. Plymale, Secretary. The Directors elected were C. C. McClendon, F. M. Plymale, Con rad Mingus and John O’Brien. Jacob Ish being a Director, a va cancy was created by his election as President. Tho vacancy was filled by the election of J. C. Tolman. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the President.

Harris, the assistant Jailor, while searching Bar den’s clothes tho other day, found a small quantity of arsenic, wrapped in a paper, in a pocket of his coat lying un der the prisoner’s head. How he pro cured it is a mystery, as no one has been with him alone since his confine ment, except J. F. Gazley, his attor ney, who doubtless did not furnish it. Barden may have brought it with him to jail, as a slit in his collar, where he may have had it concealed, was dis covered. Various surmises are made as to the purpose for which he intend ed the poison, some thinking he sought to put Carey, the only witness against him, out of the way with it; but the officers were careful that the two had no communication with each other, which may account for his failure. He may have intended to take his own life, should his case prove hopeless; and he may have brought himself into his present condition by its limited use. This discovery will doubtless cause his recovery, if he has been tak ing the arsenic, but his case is about the same as yet. The supposition is that he is practicing a dodge to pre vent a trial. ■ —■■■ - S tockholders M eeting . — The first regular meeting of the stockhold ers of the Patrons of Husbandry Mill Company was held, by mutual consent, for the election of a Board of Directors and the transaction of other business, at Jacksonville Grange Hall on Mon day, May 17, 1875, at 1 o’clock p. m .
