MINING NEWS.
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.

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.

We last Friday received a call from
E. Spaulding, traveling agent for the
Spaulding Bros., proprietors of Plum

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

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.

P oison F ound .—Chas. 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.
