The estimated cost of the ditch when completed to Sterling is $35,000 Should there be no more obstacles to overcome, in the form of rock, than have been met with in that part of the ditch already’ completed, the cost will fall short, rather than go above this estimate. It will require tne sum i of at least $10,000 to purchase and place in position the pipe and other apparatus for working the mine. Af ter the ditch is completed the labor of a large force of men will be constantly required to carry on the mining opera' ti'Mis of the company. The present terminus of the ditch is by no means ultima thule of this stupendous enter- terprhe. The elevation attained on the survey at Sterling is sufficient to carry the water around the bead of Sterling creek and along the divide south ami west of Jacksonville. \\ hen this is done the,'rich jlry dig gings in the gulches and along the hill -ides in and around Jacksonville can be worked, and millions of money will be taken out. Water can also be taken from the ditch, when it is brought into the divide above Jackson ville, to supply the mines on Jackass creek. These mines are also very rich. From Jacksonville the line can still he extended to the old mining camp at Willow Springs, where there are st ill large bodies, of good ground which have never been worked for the want of water. Even when the mines along the whole line are worked out, the Sterling ditch will be of incal- enable value for irrigating purposes. This great enterprise is but the be ginning of a series of like works which will, in a very few years, make South ern Oregon one of the most prosper ous mining localities in the world. Such is at least the opinion of those who have had the best opportunities for forming a correct opinion on the subject. A correspondent of the Oregonian, i A. C.

The Popular Science Monthly sayji : Production Jnnd consumption do not have that intimate relation to each other they once had. In old times the weaver, for instance, was in con tact with his customer; he wove cloth as he discovered the need; he cau tiously set up a second loom when it became fully evident that it could be kept employed; and thus supply and demand went, as it were, hand in hand. But now gigantic mills filled with many spindles have little accur ate relation to consumption. The power of production by means of im proved machinery is something im mense, and is exercised with no very watchful or cautious regard to the im mediate . needs of the community. Goods are piled up in vast quantities in wailing for a future market, or they* are pressed upon the markets at such low rates or on such long credits that buyers are seduced into over-pur chases. In favorable times these es tablishments are run at high pressure. The old fashioned nice relation be- tween producer and consumer disap pears. Speculation takes the helm. Much more is produced than there is corn, leather or other goods, to ex change for it. The resources of the mills are great; they’can borrow from the hanks while they pile up their fabrics in their ware-rooms; they can by means of their concentrated capi I tal keep their machinery running even at a loss, if by so doing they can crush out a rival or manipulate the market. But in the bight of this pros perous run there is a check—no mat ter for what cause — and suddenly work stops. There is little sale for goods produced; the fires must be put out, the floors -closed, and thousands of operatives are deprived of em ployment. This would not be so un fortunate if this over-production had been diffused among ihe work people. But it had not. Noth withstanding the high pressure anti the excessive manufacture, wages have been kept down; while producing In six mon’hs as much as t an be exchanged in a year, the workmen have not been paid in this way—their wages have been upon the basis of the whole year’s work—as a result, they are turned empty-handed upon the street. And, what is particularly unfortu nate they’ are reduced as consumers to the minimum point. Here the evil works both ways. The excessive pro duction which has shut up the mill has weakened the power of the com munity to all-orb this production—the goose that laid the egg has been slain. Inevitably’ the recovery’ from hard times brought about in this way must be slow. The spindles cannot he set in motion until the stock of goods on h md is reduced and a fresh demand revives; this demand cannot revive be cause the great body ol consumers are in a state of impoverishment. This condition of things is entirely sufficent toexplain the genesis and the prolonga tion of business prostration. Capital is not impaired; it is locked up in ma chinery that issilent, in goods that can not be exchanged, in money that has no borrowers.

The Duke was fa mous for eccentricities in the betting way. The match he made to drive a carriage nineteen miles in one hour without changing either of the thor oughbred horses with which he started, made a sensation at the time, and the actual achievement of this feat was perhaps as remarkable as anything of the kind in the annals of coaching. But the wager to which reference was made was of a more original char acter than this, and at the time when railroads were n-»t thought of was cer tainly an indication of no little inven tive talent. He made a bet that he would have a letter conveyed fifty miles within an hour. In order to do this, he caused the manuspript to be indosi d in a cricket ball, stationed ex pert cricketers at intervals over a cer tain distance, and the missive being thrown fiom one to the other, was delivered at the end of tile jour- ney within the stipulated time, A very good story is told of this noble» man by which he very neatly check mated the vagaries of certain fl pecu- lators who secretly offered his g race’s jockey a large sum of money to lose a certain race. The jockey appeared to entertain the prop« sal, t>ut quietly carried information of it to his em ployer, who at once told him to take the money, and that he would bear him harmless. The money was taken and bets were made accordingly, but to the horror of the enterprising black legs, the Duke himself appered on the scene as the horses came to the post, and quickly divested himself of a great coat, was found to be in riding attire. “This is a very nice horse,” said his grace. “I think I will ride myself.” And he did it, and won with out a struggle. T he University of Leipsic recently had a pet student. He was a young Russian, whose zeal for science and brilliant acquirements and gentlemanly deportment made him popular with the professor ami his companions. Lately he was graduated in the high honors, receiving the degree of master of arts, and special compliments from one of the professors. The next day th« pro fess« »r received a call from a beautiful young wmnan, who addressed the sa vant as follows : “I desire, professor, before I depart from Leipsic, to ex press to you my most hearty thanks.” The puzzled professor asked: “Thanks for what*?” The lady continued: “I was married to the old Prince------ . My husband died insol vent some years ago, so I was left without even bread. I resolved to seek the necessary means of subsistence in science. It is now more than three years that I have been a student here in Leipsic. Tne student who lately passed his exami nation and whom you considered worthy of distinction is none other than myself. The old professor’s eyes were opened. The lady thanked him again, and carried her blushing hon ors off to Russia.
