T here is considerable inqury US to
whether the black sands near Bandon
will
pay for mining. California
capitalists who have a new machine
to precess this sand have written to
find out the location of these sands
and for any information about them.
We understand that Simon Lane and
Col. Lane bad an active mine going
in 18K1 that, paid them fairly well,
running about on« dollar to th« ton.
Ttmre is plonty of th« black sand in
our vicinity, on« place back of Ran
dolph that I hih never been worked to
our knowledge, another place 3 miles
east of Bandon, and still another
north about G or 7 miles. D. F. Per-
kins worked in the black sands at
Whiskey Run in IS51, but although
he found it profitable, found it very-
hard to get at on account of the surf.
L. H. Perkins of Quartz, Cal, wrote
to hie father J. M. Perkins, that a
company at that place is willing to
put in modern machinery and com
mence active operations if they get
any encouragement in the enterprise.
It is said that this is a reliable com
pany and their machinery is such
that will enable them to make a sue
cess of the milling whereas several
have failed.
Up to the Assessor.
The bouse did its duty by passing
the Beals liili to compel owners of
timber land to furnish a cruise of
tli«*ir timber to the assessor. but the
Senate, which appears to have been
organized in the interest of the tax
«lodging capitalists and franchise
grabbers, defeated the measure, as
they did many other excellent bills
i passed l’\ the house.
Now it is up to the assessor. He
has Imd his salary raised to a decent
figure, ami he can very easily dem
onstrate io the people that he
deserved the raise by compelling the
timber owners to pay something like
a just tax upon their holdings, At
present the highest assessment is $14
per acre. Some of it is worth $1,000
per acre and, Mr. Laws admits that
this is only guess work, as lie has no
means of knowing the true value of
land, and the owners persistently re
fuse to show their cruise. There is
but one thing for the assessor to do
and that is to guess higher. Assess
the timber land al such a figure that
the owners will be compelled to make
its true value known in order to se
cure a reduction. We believe Mr.
Laws will do this. The timber own
ers have defrauded Columbia county
enough tax money, if put into a fund
for that purpose, to pay the salaries
of its officials for all time to come.
There is no reason why they should
he permitted to escape paying jnst
share of the burden. They are taking
the value off th«» land and when they
have delimit'd it they will move to
Cortland and live in ease upon the
money made in Columbia county
Generation after generation of farm
ors build up the country..but the
timber owner is not a genuine home
maker, but a get rich «piick speculator
who can's for nothing but his own
private gain. a*i<l as far as possible,
Compel th«» genuine settlor to foot the

all Presidential Reserve« are ancua-
stitiMiuual. The next Congress it is
to lie hop'd, will shake our bull dog
President loo-'e from his grip ou our
public domain, but it is a long time
to wait au<l business sufTers in the
meanwhile. At present we do not
feel like treating the question at
length, fearing that we are not suf
ficiently well informed, ami that our
indignation might affect impartial
judgement. Curry county is bit bard,
and she will have a bard time to
maintain her organization if the
black shadow of the Reserve is not
removed.- Port Orford Tribune.
W illiam T yndai . i who represented
the Fourteenth District of Missouri
in Congress lias gone home after two
years at the Capital with eleven
thousand dollars which lie has saved
from his salary and perquisites since
his election. This’fact is an un
answerable refutation of the state
merit of Senator Beveridge that a
Congressman cannot live on a salary
of five thousand a year in the Capital,
that, in fact, “thirty thousand dollars
a year is « very ordinary outlay*' for
keeping up an establishment here.
Mr. Beveridge has had a nightmare
in which he fancied only millionaires
could afford to run the Government
ami be put the obsession in black and
white and sent it to Appletons maga
zine. Now Mr. Tyndall lias arisen
to prove that not only can a man live
on five thousand a year, with clerk
salary of tift<s>n hundred or morn
and other perquisites |>nt lie can save
a nice little fortune out of it bosid<»a.
Of course Mr. Tyndall's case is an ex
treme one. He did not wear seventy

Strike at Marshfield.
MRS. SARAH CÜBTBLLO.
The employes of I lie» sash and door
factory are on a strike. About one
hundred and twentyfive, including
the carpenters and the inside men,
are out and the mill is practical!\
tied np. This means much to the
whole Coos bay country at this par
ticular time. The North Bend sash
and door factory is th« only plant of
the kind in this locality, and every
building or house which is being
erected, needs in its construction the
product of the factory. Already some
work threatens to be stopped because
of the impossiblity to secure the
needed material from t lie sash and
door factory. A continuation of the
strike without a settlement means
eventually, in fact in a short time, the
absolute paralization of the building
on Coos bay. There is in course of
construction both at Marshfield and
North Bend houses and buildings
which will represent trie investment
of thousands of dollars.
The men who nre striking have a
grievance. They want a day of one
hour less. This not being granted
they stopped work. The men have
conducted themselves in a creditable
manner and have as a body done
nothing since going out for which
they should be censured. Th« com
pany is likewise firm in the belief of
the fairness of its position. But the
merits of the case on either side do
not enter into the question. Be the
men right or not. tlie company fair or
unjust, a long drawn out strike will
bring great injury to Coos Bay. no
matter which side is at fault —Times.
