The project is favorably viewed by

has been submitted to the emperor
by a memorial, it being urged by
the viceroy, prime minister ana
most of of the influential and

the advisability of having a silver

Yiruina City chronicle.
Next year will 1 the fiftieth
anniversary of the introduction
of stamps for paying postage upon
letters. The invention is due to
Printer James Chalmers, of Dun
i lee, who died in 1S5.'J, and who
finally with his system, tl
aunesive postage stamp, con
quered the whole civilized world.
England, fifty years Ago, intro
duced the lKistage stamp and
according to a decree of December
21, 1730. issued the first stamps
lor public use on May o, laoO.
A year later they were intro
duced in the United States
North America and Switzerland,
and again, a few years later, in

FROM JACKSON COUNTY.
Jacksonville Times.
Some fine specimens of 'Must"
have , been brought in from the
diggings in all arts of southern
Oregon since the washout by the
floods. General Keamcs was
exhibiting a "cure for sore eyes"
at the bank last Monday, which
restored confidence in ' the mines
of Italy. ' Jt consists of a piece of
gold shajH?d somewhat- like
iMxmierang, which weighed out
$271 75, and concerning the finding
of which all parties are very reti
cent. As it reposed in the counter
case under the inscription, "picked
up since the freshet; place un
known. Ask no ouesions," it
excited the cupidity of all whoaav
w
it. The specimen lacked H of ai
an
inch of leing a foot long. There
were several Other line specimens,
which purported to be from the
same source, and a quantity of
finer dust which experts pro
nounced to be from Jhe Josephine
mines. The old miners all went
to prospecting in the hills after j
the freshet. Everybody knows
there is plenty of gold in these
rock-ribbed mountains. The
thing is to fine it.
The mortality among the quail
and feathered songsters of the
valley during the long continued
snow siege has lieen something
fearful. Whole flocks of quail
succumbed one by one to the
rapacity of hawks and coyotes, or
m some instances whole coveys
died, huddled together under a
clump of a fir or chaparral. Even
wiien irquentmg barnyards and
granaries hundreds of birds have
been found dead with their crops
of grain, their inability to
seen re gravel or some other aids to
diget-tion having seemingly proved
destructive to life. In some
sections the mountain quail, which
sometimes feed on fir buds, have
weathered through, while the
smaller valley quail are apparently
almost extinct.
Chas. Doble, who was sentenced
to serve a term of one year in the

still in the county jail awaiting;
transportation to Salem, and was
bo unwell yesterday as to require
the services of a physician. Had
he Iteen promptly sentenced after
C leading guilty" he might have
een committed ' to state prison
before the blockade ; but the Judge
deferred sentence for a week or
more until the trains stopped run
ning, and tbe man was left on the
hands of the county or the sheriff,
as the case may be It is said that
his time will begin from the date
he is received by the prison
authorities, and thai he will not
be credited with the timo-Hpent
in tire county jail, which will
work quite a hardship in the
present case.

Capt. Caton noticed a decided
falling off in the flow of liquor over
his bar one day last week, and a
big run of custom at the pump
that has been used to drain his
cellar since the flood. Investiga
tion revealed the fact that the
large quantity of choice "Rogue
river" stored in the vault had
made fairly good toddy of the
spring water in the cellar about
equal to Charlie Mosher's giur
spring in the Siskiyou?. A man
stands guard over the pump now.
