Anoth er of the old citizens of Jackson county, Thos. G. Dews, passed away on Saturday morning, aged CO years, after a tedious illness, there having been but little hope of his recovery since he was first prostrated. Mr. Dews was an upright honest man, who for many years freighted from Cres cent City to this vail ey, but of late years had located on a pleas-ant little spot on Applegatc. The good square old man is at rest n ow, and those who leave as' good an record for uprightness will have done well. To Ouu Yreka Friends. Yester day morning, Genl J G. Wall and L. E. Cooper, Esq. of Crescent City, left for San Francisco to urge the advan tages of Crescent City as a harbor of refuge before the Board of Engineers for the Pacific coast It is the inten tion of these gentlemen to remain a day or two in Yreka and secure the co-operation of the merchants of th at city, which we have-no doubt will be given cheerfully. Mr. Cooper has run a line of levels from Crescent City to Bogue river and finds the greatest ele vation only twenty three hundred feet, with an approach that guarantee a maximum grade of not over . seventy feet to the mile for a railroad over it. The people of Siskiyou county are groaning under the heavy tariffs of the C. P. and they must perceive that their interests are identical with our own. They require an outlet as well as we, and a narrow guage built to this valley from the coast would never stop short of the fool of the Siskiyou, and ultimately reach Yreka. We hope that Messrs. Wall and Cooper will receive their earnest support. IOCAL ITEMS. The Odd Fellows of Jacksonville lodge will celebrate in August. Bead Phillips advertisement, and if you want a nice ride go with him.

Telegraphic intelligence of the tragic death of Mr. Fay was received here on Friday morning last, the particulars of which we glean from the Douglas "In dependent," which, however, should state that the rash act was committed at 7:30 a. m. on Friday r Empire City, May 30. The people of this place were startled this morn ing by the report that James D. Fay had killed himself. It soon became known that this was the sad fact, and a coroner's inquest over the body of the deceased resulted in the finding of the following verdict; We, the jury summoned to inquire into the cause of the death of Jas. D. Fay, do find that deceased came to his death by a wound inflicted by a pistol shot fired from a pistol held in his own hands. The facts developed by the testimony given before the jury were that the night previous he had retired in com pany with L. F. Lane about 12 o'clock. After that time he took two or three drinks, but not sufficient, as Mr. Lane testified, to produce delirium tremens. Mr. Lane then left him, and Mr. Fay went to the Star saloon, and was sit ting by the stove, reading a newspaper when Mr. E. W. Sprague and A. W. Sprague, his brother, keepers of the saloon went out and left him sitting there. They shortly afterwards heard the report of a pistol, and ran back to the saloon, where they found Mr. Fay still seated in the chair, with his heaj bent forward, the blood flowing freely from his head and his pistol lying in his lap. Dr. Mackey testified that death had resulted almost instantaneously with the shot. Mrs. Fay, with one child, was on a visit in this city with her parents, and the shock to her was most distressing. The body was taken in charge bv the Masons of Marshfield, Mr. Fay being a member of that fraternity, and interred with Masonic honors on Sunday last. Mr. Fay was a native of South Car olina, about 40 years of age, a man of extraordinary force of character and far more than average ability, which unfortunately was too often mis-directed. He at one time was representa tive in the Legislative Assembly from this county, and was afterwards Presi dent of the Senate, having been elected to that body also from this county. We would be the last to say an unkind word of the deceased. Let the grave that swallows up all human enmities - V 1 1 HuJJiJMlaults ana lot us remeimHHEhat winch was worthy and good of the dead. Brilliant Wedding. On Wednes day evening last, the 28th inst, Hon. E. B. Watson and Miss Ella Kubli, eld est daughter of Kaspar Kubli, Esq., were happily united at the hymenial altar at the residence of the bride's par ents. A select circle of friends were present and the affair was one of the most pleasant that has taken place in Jacksonville for many years. The bride was beautifully attited in pearl silk, Princess style, with heavy flounce of French lace, and trimmed down the front with orange buds. On her head was a wreath of orange blossoms and a veil of white silk tulle, and her feet were encased in white kid slippers. The groom wore the conventional suit of black, with white vest and neck tie. Miss Kate Kubli, also beautifully dress ed in white tarletan, trimmed in pink, acted as bridesmaid, and the groom was supported by Judge Hanna. After the ceremony, which was performed by Bev. M. A Williams in his usual felic itous manner, the happy couple receiv ed the warm congratulations of those present, and festivities were commenc ed that continued till a late hour, it being after midnight when the last of the guests departed. The bridal pres ents were numerous and costly, and al together the affair was an exceedingly pleasant one. We offer our congratula tions to the bride and groom, and hope that the silken cords that now bind them will be stronger than chains of triple steel, and if the handsome bride groom is as good a benedict as he is a public officer we have no fears for their ; . -kt - . . happiness. False Beports. The report that Col. S. G. Whipple, now commanding Fort Klaraatn, was to bo retired from active service, is incorrect It is true the Colonel has been nearly nineteen years in active duty, first as Lieut. Col. of the battalion of volunteers raised in Humboldt, county Cal., for Indian service; afterwards, as Captain in the regular service, assigned to the trying climate of Arizona; then partaking of the bloody hospitality of the Nez Perce campaign, but still ho has no desire for retirement. We gave- circulation to the rumor which we now correct, and are glad to know that an old friend and courteous and valuable officer is to be continued in. the service where such men are needed. Chew Jackson's Best Sweet Navy Tobacco. COBRESFOXBEXCE. Foots Creek, June 1, 1879. EdSentinel: Aiterlookingthrougli a portion of the mines on this stream I give you a hasty description of some of the claims that have been running the present season on the left hand fork. The claim of A Prefontaine has been ground sluiced, and its owner is just commencing to clean up with excellent prospects, his bed rock races showing good pay. Next is the hydraulic claim of theCarr boys, who have moved a large quantity of gravel and a big clean up is certain. Next comes the "New Discovery" at the mouth of Hawkins' Gulch. Here the ground is twenty feet in depth, two claims having been located by Wheelock & Co. and Smith" it Co. Several feet of the bottom grav el prospects from six to twenty cents to the pan. The owners of these claims intend working them by raising the dirt with a horse "whim," but if they had hydraulic pressure for an ele vator, such as was lately described by your correspondent at IjSTaldo, they would have a fortune. There is two miles of just such ground that wflT pay big. Then comes the hydraulic claim of McKnight & Co. These gentlemen spent much of their time this season in opening their claim, and worked some time in cement too hard to pipe success fully, but have- now reached ground that prospects wellnd insures splendid results next Winter. The next claim is that of one of the irrepressible mi ners of this camp, Ash Heald, who has piped off a considerable amount of bed rock, and will have a good clean up. Then Tom Mee's claim, a little hy draulic, not much pressure, but good pay and a prospect for plenty of it The boys are all busy cleaning up and expect to make the merchants happy and have a littlo left to celebrate the Fourth of July with, as they do not ex pect to have water more than three weeks longer. This camp will turn out a big pile of dust next Winter, as it is here, and our boys have the muscle to go for it Ex-Miner. Editor and Undertaker. How's that for a business combination? Con venient isn't it? A man tilling these two responsible positions cannot be anything but absolutely independent. If some irate "cuss" whom he has im paled on the point of his trenchant pen perforates his diaphragm with No 4 shot and he winks out he can bury himself and write his own obituary. In case it becomes his pleasant duty to disiLaaiiiledilafciftec Ja ual Arkansas style, IhJVjv. only secures a job in the county but is enableb at the same time to take no tice for a sen sational item. Weknow of but one in dividual who is thus felictiously situated, and that lucky fellow is J. E. Eldridge of the "Del Norte Becord," who ad vertises ready made coffins on hand and made to order by J. E. Eld redge, and adds, pleasantly, advertise in the Becord. Who says newspaper men are not enterprising. Harbor of Befuoe. We find the following advertisement in the "Ore gonian," signed by C. Seaforth Stewart, one of the members of the Board of Engineers who have the selection of the harbor of refuge, which explains it self: On and after the fifth day of June, 1879, public sessions of the Board, or of a committee of the same, will be held at this office. The object of these is to hear the views and opinions of all persons interested in the location of a Harbor of Befuge on the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and the Straits of Fuca. Shipmasters familiar with the navigation of the Pacific coast, and all other persons possessed of informa tion on the subject, are invited to com municate with the board in person or by letter. - O.

On Friday evening last the mer chants of Jacksonville and a number of prominent citizens", met at the club' room in the' Masonic building to take steps to co-operate with the citizens of Crescent City with regard to a harbor of refuge at the latter point. The meet ing was called to order by Hon. C. O. Beekman and organized" by ejecting Judge Prim chairman, and Messrs. Muller and Foudray secretaries. Gen eral J. G. Wall and ,L. F. Cooper, of Crescent City, addressed the meeting, and after remarks by several of our own citizens a committee composed of Messrs Beekman, Foudray and Howard was appointed to obtain statistics as to the amount of arableland and products of Southern Oregon, and such other in formation as might be desirable to lay before the Board of Engineers. Messrs Nickell, McPherson and Jones were then appointed a committee on resolu tions, with instructions to report at a meeting to be held on Monday eve ning, June 2d. On Monday evening the meeting again convened in the Court House, Judge Prim, presiding. After the meeting was called to order Mr. Beek man, of the committee on statistics, made the following report, which was unanimously endorsed: We, the undersigned, your commit tee, beg leave to submit the following as the result of our investigation. We find at the present time the amount of land enclosed and partially under culti vation to be about 140,000 acres, and the present product to bo about as follows: Wheat produced 300,000 bushls Oats " 350,000 " Barley " 100,000 " Bye " 3,000 " Corn " 40,000 " Potatoes " 60,000 " Apples " i 100,000 " Peaches " 15,000 " Pears and plums 15,000 " Hay " 30,000 Tons Wool " 250,000 pounds Grapes " 150,000 " Butter " 25,000 " Cheese " 15 000 " Onions " I00.00D " Bacon " 400,000 " Lard . " 80,000 " The amount of mineral lands, con sisting of gold or placer mines, gold and cinnabar, quartz mines lying up on the Western and Southern border of our county, comprises an area of about fifteen miles in width and sixty miles in length, and upon which there is nlr?n1v prKii'it.nTesit. expense arco many undefWfraotion upon other parts of this mineral land. We also find that about one-balf of .the arable land now enclosed that have passed in to the hands of individuals only are cultivated. The amount of land passed from the government to individuals in the county is about 275,000 acres and there yet remains in the hands of the government a large amount of land susceptible of profitable cultivation, with the aid of an outside market, be side a very extensive range of good of white, yellow and sugar pine, fir, cedar and other valuable wood, ca pable of furnishing unlimited amount of excellent lumber. We are further satisfied from investigation and obser vation that the capacity of the country with an outside market for the pro ducts of the farmer can be increased four-fold, and that can onlybe realized by direct communication with the sea boardasaninducementto its production. And further your committee from their personal knowledge of all the channels of "communication with the coast are fully satisfied that the most direct and accessible point to the sea board is at Crescent City, and that the most available market for the product of Southern Oregon and Northern Cali fornia is by way of Crescent City to San Francisco, and that by the establish ment of a safe harbor of refuge at Crescent City, it would necessitate the building of a narrow gauge rail road into the interior to supply the wants of commerce. C. C. Beeksian, E. D. Foudray, J. S. Howard. The proper committee then reported the following resolutions: We, your Committee appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of this meeting; would report the fol lowing for your endorsement: Whereas, Congress has made an appropriation for the establishment of a harbor of refuge at some point be tween San Francisco and the Straits of Fuca; and Whereas, The growing interest of Southern Oregon and Northern Cali fornia demand an outlet for their in creasing products, and cheaper and more rapid means of transportation than are now afforded; and Whereas, In our estimation Cres cent City offers advantages as such port of refuge superior to any other suggest ed, therefore be it Besolved,. That we, the citizens of Jackson county, recognizing the im portance of the establishment of said port at some eligible- location midway between San Francisco and the Straits of Fuca, and mindful of the benefits liable to accrue to us in case such se lection is accorded to Crescent City, heartily recommend the said Crescent City to the favorable consideration of the Board of Engineers by whom the port of refuge is to be located. Kesolved, That we earnestly solicit the aid of the wholesale merchants and business men of San Francisco .in pre senting the claims of Crescent City to the Board of Engineers. Besolved, That, believing that the Chamber of Commerce of San Fran cisco pan do much in securing favor able action for Crescent City in the location of the harbor of refuge; and, inasmuch a the interests of San Fran cisco and those of Southern Oregon and Northern California are identi cal in this matter, we call upon the merchants of that city tc use every honorable means to secure such favor able action by the said Chamber of Commerce. A. C. Jones, Chas. Nickell, W. A. McPherson. E. H. Autenrieth was then appointed a committee of one to solicit the names of the merchants and business men of Jackson county who favor the resolu tion. After the unamimous adoption of the resolutions and a few remarks from Mr. Cooper, on behalf of the people of Crescent City thanking the people of Jacksonville for their hearty co-operation, the meeting adjourned. P. P. PBIM, Chm. E. D. Foudray ) , Max Muller Becs- About Mules. After the study of human nature that of mules is next in point of interest We went down town the other day to see a cavalcade of these interesting hybrids, intended for goverument use, start for their des tination. We observed among other things that a mule had two erios; a meditative and a playful end, and we always remained near the former, be cause we are too old to play.- with a mule, and it was instructive to observe the intelligent working of their ears that gives evidence of their strong emo tional qualities. Stand in front of one of them and if ho points his ears di rectly towards you he asks an introduc tion, if he throws them back he is sat isfied and wants to shake hands. Don't shake hands with a mule. We saw a man try it once and it was a total fail ing; shaking should be reciprocal, and in this instance the mule was the sole m said to be per verse and wanting in politeness, but it is false. These poor fellows were coup led together by the head and a wicked fly lit upon a mule's nose. Down flopp ed an ear but it was too short and the fly tickeled the harder. Then the mule sneezed, but the fly was too high up and he tickeled still. Did the tortured animal squeal or lie down in despair? Not at all. He turned completely round and invited a brother mule to hoist that fly, and with his right hind foot his brother hoisted the tormentor without ruffling a hair on his victim's nose. Whoever saw n human knock a fly from the nose of a fellow creature without peeling the bark or ruffling the temper The incident was trifling but indicates the social amenites of mule existence, their sagacity in ticklish sit uations and the exact mathematical precision with which they measure dis tances. Therefore never excite the playful end of a mule as they never make a mistake in measurments. Masquerade Ball. The masque rade, a novel feature in Jacksonville society, that took place on Tuesday evening tho 27th inst, was, under the circumstances, quite a success. There were a largo number of characters rep resented, mostly from the wardrodn of Mr. Wilton, from a clown to a king, and all were well sustained. ' Quite a largo number of spectators were pres ent and the best of order was observed. At eleven o'clock tho maks were re moved and a committee having been previously appointed it was decided that Miss Ella Prim as o tambourine girl, and Henry Pape, Jr. as a Cuban cigr girl had best sustained their disguises and were entitled to the first and sec ond prizes. Our young folks contem plate getting up a "bal masque" of their own, probably on tho evening of the Fourth of July, but if we are expected to participate we would prefer its ost ponement until the weather is cooler, as a mask is not particularly comforta ble in hot weather.
