Coeyman, who was known as Merle while he lived In the vicinity of Gold Hill, and who attempted to kidnap the little daughter of H- G. Kesterson ot Grant’s Pass, has been adjudged Insane and was sent to the asylum Saturday. Dick Nichols, who was raised in Sam’s Valley and is well known io Southern Oregon, is among those arrested for participating in the lynching at Lookout, Modoc county, Calif. It is not likely that anybody will he convicted for the crime, as public sentiment seems In favor of the lynchers. It seems that the principal reason why "Twixt Love and Duty" was not presented at Jacksonville was that H. A. Rayner., who played the leading role, proved quite objectionable to the balance uf those in tbe cast. The Record says It takes a charitable view of the matter when it calls him bad actor and a fool. The Town Talk says that C. C. Wing, who recently purchased the corner lots on Fourth street, back of the Ashland depot, will not at present build the fine, modern hotel which he had planned, to cost not less than 98000. The building was to be pushed to completion: but since the city council has refused to grant liquor li­ cense it has been deemed unwise to construct the building. Wm. Clark, the well-known horse­ man, called on T he T imes one day this week. From film we learn that J. D. Heard has purchased E D. El­ wood’s Tybalt colt "Old Folks” for Thos. Thompson, a wealthy citizen of San Francisco, paying 9300 for him. The horse has much natural speed and can pace at a 2:10 gait. Tybalt is proving a first-class sire, having a number of colts that have plenty of speed and good temper. The main building of the factory at Clearfield, Pa., in which was being manufactured the non-explosive pow­ der discovered by Sherman Clark (formerly of Jacksonville and Gold Hill) was burned a short time since. Three meu lost their lives in the flames. Hvde Rickey, who also re­ sided here for sometime, is Interested in the plant, which will be rebuilt at an early date. Tbe loss is estimated at 960,000. What is claimed for the powder—that it would not explode— was thoroughly proved by the fire. MEDFORD SQUIBS. MININO NEWS. Ml»« Cerrie George was in Portland thl« week. J. D.

Miks McNally of Spokane, a prom- cent mining man, is In Jacksonville on a tour of inspection. J. R. O’Neil), who is engaged In mining near Gold Hill, was at Ash­ land one day last week.

Smith Bros., who recently sold a half Interest in the Baby mine, have purchased E. Ray’s ledge, situated two miles from Gold Hill, paying 9500 therefor. They will commence its de­ velopment soon. Friday evening the big drill of the Umpqua Valley Oil Co., which is oyerating at the White place in Myrtle creek district,struck a seepage of petroleum at a depth of 60 feet, the sand pump bringing up from a pint to a quart of oil every trip it made. The price of copper has reached the lowest level at wnicb it can be profit­ ably mined by a great many Ameri­ can producers, though the gamblers may f tree the price still lower. Lake copper Is quoted In New York at lit cents, electrolytic at 11 cents and casting at lOf cents. While these figures are maintained new ventures are out of the question. A few days since a chute of fine ope, considerably above the average, was tapped in the main shaft of the Ash­ land mine, which has now attained a depth of 840 feet. Tire shaft is going down steadily and the good ore con­ tinues. Stoping goes on at the 600- foot and 700-foot levels, and the drifts are being pushed along at the 800 foot level. The usual crew of 30 men is employed A special from Lewiston, Mont., says: A reliable report has reached here of the discovery of an immense diamond field in the northeastern part of Fergus county, which has driven all the prospectors of Spotted Horse and Maiden wild with excite­ ment. When the report reached the former place that Tiffany, the well- known New York leweler, bad pro­ nounced the gems of the first water, excitement knew no bounds, and a party of prospectors immediately started for the Blood Creek country, where tbe find was made, to locate ground in what has proven to be a genuine diamond field. ________ ♦ Ways of Doing Things Have Vastly Changed—The Science of Medicine, Especially, Has Made Rapid Advances. "Few things have developed as rapidly daring the punt few years as the science of medicine,” said a well-known prac­ titioner recently. “ And the most striking phase in its progress is in tha treatment of the blood. “In the old days symptoms were treat­ ed and the blood disregarded. Now it is the root of the disease that is attacked, aud the most important development t>f modern medical science has been in fiscoveriug that, in most diseases, this lies in the condition of the blood. If the blood is thin or poor, the nerves cannot receive their proper nourishment, the system becomes run down and in a condition to invite disease. Build up the blood, restore the worn-out nerves and you remove the cause. And when the cause is gone, the disease will follow.” An instance of the truth of this is the case of the little son of Mrs. Minnie Par­ rish, living at Donora, Washington Co., Pa. Iu an interview the mother says: "Our little boy was terribly afflicted with boils on his back, legs and feet. He was pale and sallow and his system was completely run down. He had no appetite and his stomach caused him great distress. We had him treated by good doctors at St. Louis and Indianapo­ lis, but their efforts di THE BOOK THAT BELONGS IN EVERY OFFICE AND IN EVERY HOME OF EVERY AMERICAN. -------- ----------------- Fríe» 20 STANDARD lAffltnivnn AMERICAN «ninwM»» ANNUAL CÎS.
