TheLatest and Richest Discovery in
Southern Oregon!
Late t News From The Mines!
From Mr. J. Tj. Clough, who has just re
turned from Jackson oonnty, we learn tha.t
there has bten a riuh strike of py dirt
made in the claims of the Grand Applogate
probably the richest made in Jaukson
county with; the past ten years. Mr.
Clough says it is the opinion Of miners of
experience the oompaay in question had onoe
more tapped the great pay streak found in
the early days of mining in that section,
and ait rwards lost. The company have at
hut got their alaitn open, and are running
two shifts of bands, and the giant is kept
constantly playing against thirty feet of
bank. The last prospects thow this bank to
prospect from the top down all tha way from
12j cents to 1225 to the pan of dirt washed.
Such diggings would be conaideied a rich
strike to the miner shoveling in the dirt by
hand labor into sluice boxes, but is large
fortune assured to the owners of the claim.
working it as they do by the hydraulic pro
cm, in tne uin lan claim were is nardiy
found a "color" to the pan, and yet the
Chinaman is making a fortune. At the rate
only of five cents to the pan, the Grand
Applegate Mining Company should take out
$50,000 per month at least; at the present
prospect the yield per month should bo five
times greater for the same period at least,
and possibly eight times the amount. A
couple of miners who have visited the mine
give it as their opinion that- the yield fro a
the mine within the next four weeks will
reach, if it does not exceed f 100,000.
Since the strike a great number of Jackoa
county miners have visited tha mine, and they
have generally agreed that the strike is an ex
ceedingly rich oua.and many who had owuod
olaims in the neighborhood and abandoned
them have returned to the ground and pro
pose holding it for the future rains in the
mountains.
The Grand Applegate Company have the
best of water privileges, and will be able to
work their ground about five months in the
year. In this much they have a decided ad-
vantageover any other company in Jaskson
county.
In this connection we would say that this
late strike is proof that the best mines of
Jackson oouaty are yet to be found. The
mining done heretofore in that county hua
been mostly upon the surface and in shallow
diggings. There is but little more of such
mining to be done. Hereafter the miner
must go into the hillsides and down into the
deep bars, and when this i done we may ex
pact t j hear ol continued rich strikes and have
hope for a re turn to Jackson oouaty the pros
perous days belonging to the first discoveries
upon thj tributaries of Rogue river.

Mug because they love to sing,
because music, and melody is
their natural atmosphere; and
people will crowd to hear thern,
because their singing meets a
ivaut which the people feel. W e
remember the troupe quite well,
when they came xo the front in
the antisslavery movement, aud
sang their songs ot emancipation.
With always a sad nndertoue,
they still sang hopefully and tali
oftaith. How completely has that
faith been justified! How tri

fruition ot liberty now! Weal

good for as. Even their sadest,
songs seem the sweetest. Why is
it that the music oteaddnessis aK

Mineral Well.
The other day workmen em
ployed upon the premises' ot Mr!
F. C. Dry sunk a well and tapped
a vein of water whnh flowed in
bo rapidly that in a lew minutes
there were eight leet of water in
the well. The water was unusu-
llv clear, aud Mr. Dry congratu-.
lated himself upon the successful
work of his men. Theie was uo
complaint made Dy the tenants of
the house on the lot as to the
quality of the water until the lady
ot the hjnse attempted to make
tea with it. Wten the tea was
poured out it was discovered to
he as black as the blackest of
k. This discovery led to tast
ing the water, wheu it was tound
that it had the flavor of mineral
Wattfr. A lot of it was brought
to town aud suhjocied to a chem
ical analysis and pronounced to
contain sulphur, iron, magnesia
and other properties Bimtlar to
those found in the celebrated
springs ot El Paso de Kobles, in
San Louis Obispo county, Cal.
Drinking the water also revealed
the tact that it possessed cathartic
properties similar to those of the
world-renowned springs near
Ems, in Germany. Immediately
after trf6 anaheis several offers to
purchaso a half interest in the
well were made by different par
ties, but Mr. Dry wisely conclud
ed to sell to no one, and has
since sent several bottles of the
water to different chemists id San
Francisco to have it tested.
