Van Sant, a brief account of whose death at San Francisco appeared in Thursday’s issue of the T idings , were interred in Odd Fellows cemetery at Sacramento last Saturday. Funeral services were held in the Calvary Baptist church of that city, Rev. J. H. Rader preaching the sermon. Mrs. Van Sant was a native of Macon City, Mo., and at the time of her death was 47 years of age. As Mrs. Elizabeth Pember she was married to J. K. Van Sant, the Ashland grocer, at Sacramento in June, 1892. Taking up their residence in this city, she early acquired the respect anti friendship of her neighbors by her kind and cheerful disposition and wom anly virtues as wife, mother and friend. She whs a member of the Baptist church. She leaves 'two children, grown daugh ters, Lillian and Estelle. The latter is married and resides in Sacramento. News of Mrs. Van Sant’s death was a shock to Ashland friends and the family have the sympathy of this community in the loss of the wife and mother. To Advertise our Apples. Under date of Nov. 5th, Manchester, England, Max Pracht writes his son Will, at Ashland, that if he can get up a collec tion of 10 boxes of very choice and select varieties of apples, he would like to have them shipped to him, cure of John Har graves. Liverpool, to be used in adver tising the apples of this section in the English market, and for this purpose t hey should be douated by the orchardists. They must be carefully packed and crated in live box lots so ns to be handled as one package. He suggests that such apples as the blue pearmains in Dunn’s orchard ought to stand the trip well and says, “pick out some for size also, as I have been doing no end of braggiug over these people with their nasty small green things, flavorless aud insipid, which they call apples.” He gives instructions as to packing aud route of shipment, all of which will be attended to by Mr. Will Pracht, if he is provided with the collec tion of apples. This is an excellent opportunity to advertise Oregon apples without expense in a market receiving the attention of American fruit growers generally and to which many thousands of barrels of American apples are being consigned annually. The proposition is one of great mert and should receive prompt attention from our orchardists. L et a tine assortment be sent labelled “From Ashland, Oregou,” with name of ■orchard, etc. If the assortment can be had Mr. Pracht says tweuty boxes could be used to great advantage. We think oue box should be sent to Queen Victoria, one to the Prince of Wales, one to the Duke of York, oue to “my Lord Sal-is- bury” and oue to the Lord mayor of Loudon. But we think our Max will do this without suggestion from us. Bayard, who wuuts free trade iu'everytniug, ought to huve a box, too, to pass around the legatiou, just to awaken American pride. Pleasant Boarding House. Mrs. C. Noonan, who has been at Siski you for the past two or three years, has leased the White Sulphur Springs House on Oak street, near the railroad, and is prepared to accommodate boarders and roomers with pleasant quarters and at reasonable prices. The location of the house and the sulphur baths in the build- iug make it a desirable place. Special pains will be taken to make this a home like boarding place for students who are attending school in Ashland. Portland has a suicide club, the object being to make a scientific study of sui cides, collect suicide literature, and dis burse knowledge concerning self-anni hilation. The Telegram says: “The officers of the club are designated as follows: “Devisor of New Methods,” “Composer of Epitaphs,” “Guardian of the Knife," “Director of the Bier,” (not beer), “Soother of the Conscience,” “Con noisseur of the Poisons,” "Ghost, Mistress to the Dead.” “Keeper of Obituary Rec ord.” “Master of Ceremonies,” aud the “ Halo, Modiste.” The club promisee to lie a great success."—In filling up the asylum for lunatics.

Mineral lands are not subject to entry and settlement under the homestead act. Big rains will be most welcome to minere. Many of them have beeu laying off for some time on account of insuf ficiency of water. The company operating the old Steam boat mine have gotten their mill in ope ration. I t is one of the most complete in Southern Oregon. The right to mine can be given, wheth er by state or federal laws, only on pub lic lands. When the lands have become the property of an individual, the govern ment’s right over them is gone. If a patent issues for agricultural lands on which there is a known lode, title to such lode does not pass by the patent. The same rule applies when there is a placer on the land patented. B ut if min eral deposits are discovered after the pat ent has issued, they pass with the patent. The Oregon Mining Journal is author ity for the statement that the pocket mines of Southern Oregon have yielded over one million dollars during the past thirty years. The following is a record of the production of each of the more noted and best attested mines: Steam boat, 8315,000; Gold Hill, 8150,000; Jewett, 840,000; Blackwell, 810,000; Hol man, 810,000; Davenport, 88,000; Hicks, 82,000. He would be a rash man who would say that no more pockets as rich as these lie within Southern Oregon. Oregon Mining Journal: There are about 100 men working on the bars and in the gulches emptying into Rogue river, between the mouth of the Applegate and Hell’s Gate canyon, a distance of about ten miles. Among these man great inter est is taken in the suit of Simpkins vs. Savage, now pending before Judge Hanna, and which was provisionally decided by him some weeks ago. This suit involves the right to mine the bars of Rogue river and such streams. As before stated in the Journal, Judge Hanna decided, provisionally, th at the title to these bars rested in the owner of the land adjoining the bank of the river, and that the fact that the river bad been meandered, was not a material factor in the case. Whatever the true exposition of the law may be, the miners are not satisfied with Judge Hanna’s decision aud propose to not let the case rest until they have had an authoritative decision from the highest court to which the case may be appealed.
