ROSEBURG, OREGON. Corner Lane h 8herlJan streets. History of the District and Develop ment Work Done and Planned. Cottao Gaovt, Or., Jan. 21 The Bohemia Koid-lerin2 diairict aS dls- covere-1 bjr Bird Farrier about 25 years ano. The only leiue discovered then was that mw known a the Annit min'. Very little was done on the led 40 (rotn lS70lolS'Jl, when derelopr-iorjt work was remmed. The !nde showed every indication vl being ih h, cinlaioing Ireo gold and (rre-o.iUing ore. A (mail fiye statnp qnarlt mill was erected there, and the mine commenced io show a large amount of free-milling ore, rnnnUK frornrOto t-TOO per ten. At that time a great deal of iritorept was manifested, the hills were alive with men looking for claims. In 18&1, a San Francisco party purchased the Annie mine, aud commenced operations on a mere exten sive rcale. There being eo raocti needed development aork, and as the mill could "only be kpt rtiniilntt on about half time, on account of low water, the company was unable to meet i'a ob ligations, as part of the debta were in curred before it took charge, and ibe mine went into the bands of rsueiter. Ttie mine was then sold to P. J. Jena- in if, the well-known mining m&o of Spokane, Wash, lie went to Chicago, formed and incorporated a etock com- piny, capitalized at $1,000,000. with $100,000 in the treasury for development work and for a Dew 20 stamp mill, kbown as the Noonday Mining Com pany, rebruary 1, ix0, a iorce 01 miners as put to work driving a lower tunnel, working night and day. A tun nel was driven SCO feet, and .cot the main ledge at a depth of COO fct. The lede at this depth was eight and nine feet in width and contained much free sold. Another tunnel was ;ou in 400 feet to the center of the led,(e iili croi-s cuts run both ways. This -opntd up one ot ttie largeet mines on ihe Pacific coast. An estimate shos at leaet f5.0O0.O0O wortli of ore in sight. The Noonday Coxpany gave the Hammond Manufai-torinK Company, of Portland, a contract for potting in a 20 stamp mill, tramway aud engine at a cost of I40.COO, which was lotr.plettd Ddcembt-r 1. 1800. Many mining ex perts ha v.- examined the machinery an3 say the plant is the most modern of any on the Pacific coast. Tho company . Is now taking out from 8000 to f lO.OflO per month. There are about 40 other ledges in the Bohemia district, but only five mills, so far, put in, aa follows: Noonday Mining Company, cno 20 Etamv : Champion, one 10-stamp; Gold Mill & Mining Company, one 5 stamp; Star mine, ono 5-stamp; Trumain, 1 3 stamp. There ill be three other mills erected this coming summer. Tne Gold Mill t Mining Company, with its 5-etamp mill, has paid a divi dend since the commencement of opera tioup. The developments show the ledges to bo as extensive as thb Nooudav mine. Mr. J tunings has bought this mine. Tne price paid was $53,000. He will go East in a few days to arrange 2 for the necessary machinery.!. to treat the different O'es. During the last five years, from the Bohemia district, there have been ot least $1 ,090,000 paid out for machinery, supplies and labor, of which $2,000 has been spent iu Portland. The mines have been the means of distributing many a dollar among the poorer classes of this vicinity, besides thoueands of dol lars which have been paid to the mer chants. By this means, Cottage Giove has not suffered the financial difficulties other similar towns in the Williamette valley have Buffered. As this is the only available point from which to reach the Bohemia mines, it is believed this place will be quite an important mining center this coming season. A teiepnoue nne wm 00 tuu structed, connecting this place with the mines in the spring, aud a mining ex change is also under headway. It is in accordance with the Renins and spirit of Americanism that the ma jority shall rule ; and the spirit of oppo sition to the organization of the ho;io of representatives of the fciai tf 0?gfn, la clearly revolutionary, not to say rebellious. Cot, saya :hia minority fxctiori, the simple plural inaj'tritv h not snidi a ma jority as the con-ti ution require to do business. That, tlity sav, mustoea two-thirds maj-jriiy, and if a Intro ma jority andertakes. to do, butintss, such action la . revolutionary, anconstitd- tiona! and vuid. Let as consider . ibis idea a moment, If it is revolutionary. unconstitutional and void for a majority to act in obedience to the dictates of com mon sense and duty, what mut it be for a minority to re'usa to act with the ma jority, for the sole purpose of coercing a majority into submission by taking ad vantage of mere technicalities? It is evident from the whole tone and spirit of the constitution, from its bill of rights to its close, that its trainers did not intend to defeat the objex ts aimed at, viz: To authorize the legislators to make such lavs aa the people, through their representatives, constitutionally elected, may demand. The framers certainly did not intend to create an in strument that would be, in reason, con strued to defeat ita own pnrpeses. If such a construction of the constitntion be the correct one that 29 men can pre vent 31 men from performing the duty entrusted to them by a confiding con stituency, then good bye to a republican form cf government. To put the question plainly, admitticg for argument sake, that the majority in the cave under consideration, is revolu Uonary, is It not better that a revolu tiooary majority role than that a rebel ions minority be allowed to rule? That is the question toiled down.' Which shall (live way, a majority or a minority ? That's the question. If tha minority, for selfish purpose, will so far disregard the rights of the people now groaning'for re lief at the hands of this legislative W . as to stand like the dog in the manger, do nothing themselves nor allow othare, ready and willing to act, ' we hare truly come to a deplorable condition. Such action is setting a fatal precedent, for the wheels of politics may take a different turn in the future when a cap tious minotlty might 'offer a timilar treatment, to this rebellions party now blocking legislation. 1 ',. J .. !'.... LJJ I Starvation In Chicago. Ciiicauo, Ian. 21. Men, women and children are starving In Chicsgo in sight of relief, because the connty commission crs, blind and deaf, do not allow tha county agent enough help to distribute supplier. Tim county treasury is rkh In its surplus, and there r an arcnmla- tion of appeals from hungry families. H'.indicds of these application are mora than to Keeks old. Tha heads of tha families were dirconraged then, and as a last resort appealed to tho connty for aid. They have seen their wives and children gron weaker and colder, and no aid baa come, no bread, no ooal. Thesa men are desperate now. The county apent it helpless to save these faminc-nliicketi men, women and babies. He baa relief on band, bnt do way to distribute it, because the com mirsioners have tied his hands, aud aa deaf to the criea of the hungiy. A warning has leen given that tha de serving poor are becoming dangerona and that hunger is likely to drive then to deeds in which their cry will be "bread." Men who gave this warning know whereof thev speak. They aea guant hunger at its worst, the glassy aye of a strong man who hears the cry of hia wife and babies for bread and warmth and is powerless to give it to them. The men tell an uppalling story but nobody on earth can tell us of the misery aa it exists in Chicago k lay. MRS. N.

That of Lower Egypt, which is irrigated by the over Sowing of the Nile, w harvested in April, while Syria, Cyprus, 1'ereia and Asia Minor aleo gather crops during that mouth. Cuba's wheat will also be gath ered in April. 'Texas is the first of our states to send wheat to the market.

The Timea Her ald's Washington special says : It is apparent that the time has come when something mn6t bo done by this government, if the Nicaragua canal scheme is to bu payed from falling into the rut of failure. Senator Sheiman, who is to be the next secretary of state, raid to the Times-Herald correspondent tonight that Mr. Boderigeuz, minister of ibe Greater Republic of Central Amer icj, had doubtless convinced the senate that aoy further attempts to arrange for tl building of the canal opon the plan laid down iu the bill mast be given np. ij ii the enterprise -need not, for this reonoo, bo abandoned, for the represen tative of the Greater Republic of Cen tra' America distinctly avows the will ingness ol his government to take up the matter on a new basis, to leave tha present company out of consideration, so far as the fu'uieis concerned, and to feat directly with the United State for construction of this great waterway. Ia the opinion of many senators this is precisely what should be done.

Chicago, Jan. 23. The cold waie struck Chicago harder today than either yesterday or the day before, going mate rirtlly under the lowest points of Snnday, when the record of 23 years was broken. At 7 a. m. today the signal service re ported the temperature 20 degrees below zero with no relief iu sight. At 8 the temperature was exactly the same. A heavy fog from the lake which enveloped the down-town district made the cold doubly dangeroua. Frozdu fingeis, noses and ears were a common occurrence, and numerous cafes of amoie serious character were re ported. Only one death' from cold has been re ported to the police up to noon, that of Fred A. Busch, 23 years old, who suc cumbed to exposure, Ambulances, how ever, wire kept busy conveying people U the hospitals with feet and hands frozen.
