It is also proposed to connect a grist mill therewith in the course of time. It is confidently believed that grain can be raised in the country sur rounding Linkville, as some very large crops have been the result of experi ments made by various persons.

Sterritt has purchased the mines belonging to the Oregon Quartz Mill and Mining company, located in Josephine county, and has employed Prof. J. M. Tiernan to make a scientific examination of them. The Ztee says the professor started last Monday for the locality of the mines, and if, upon his return, his report is favorable, Mr. Sterritt will have the mines opened. A bill has been introduced in Con gress providing that any grower of ap ples, peaches or any other fruit may manufacture it into brandy for his own domestic use, or sale, exempt from all taxation, on condition that it be sold only at the place ot manufacture, and that stills, etc., be registered in the of fice of the Collector of Internal Reve nue.
