GOLD R11KJE MINK STARTS OPERATION ON A LAK(;E SCALE The Gold Kldge mine, which Is lo cated in the Kane's creek mining district on the Willow springs road Is now in operation. A meeting of the officers and stockholders at tbe mine was held Sunday and a plcnle lunch was served. This was a pre liminary to the actual operation of tbe modern stamp mill and concen trator which have recently been In stalled. The plant is Just beginning to extract the gold from tbe 2300 tons of ore, said to average from $C5 to $75 per ton, which is already blocked out for mining. The com pany has oxer 100 tons of ore In the bins and are at present making a cross cut. which will strike the vein at 125 feet. This tunnel Is the fifth one and Is now 115 feet in length; tbe other four tunnels at different levels are ulreudy in the vein which is over 600 feet deep and of an un known width. The stamp mill and concentrator are capable of hand ling from ten to fifteen tons of ore per day. and the mine Is working from twelve to twenty men and Is running three shifts to furnish that amount.

Millard, when he took Charles Randall, a Grants Puss young man in custody on the charge of soliciting and taking and receiving orders for the sale of intoxicating liquor out side of the Cold Hill pavilion Sat urday night, July 3D. At his pre liminary hearing In .Justice Taylor's court here yesterday, Randall was held to the grand jury on $500 ball. According to the testimony of If. V. Closo of Med ford, who had been deputized as1 an acting deputy sher iff the afternoon of July 30, Ran dall approached him outside of the pavilion about 11 o'clock that night and asked him if he knew whero he could sell eighteen bottles of moon shine, and Close said he could not. Then Close saw another man walk lip to Randall und hand him $3.50, with the remark, "Here it is." Tho witness testified that Randall then talked with three other men, after which he left them and went Into tho darkness and returned to them In five minutes. In the meantime Close had told Deputy Sheriff Mil lard of , what he had seen and heard and ns Randall approached the three men again the deputy started fo him. Randall, on seeing him come, nr. away, with Millard and Deputies Lee, Btadshaw and Close in close pur suit. However, in fleeing, he drop ped or threw away four bottles of moonshine according to the testi mony of Millard, who was closest to h'ni. one of which fell on the rail road track and broke. Randall out distanced his pursuers that night, but Millard located Wednesday night and arrested hira. Hampton Orchard Sold to Talent Man; $35,000 MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 8. One of the largest orchard deals of the year was consummated Saturday when Eric Wold purchased from Mrs. Blnghum of Santa Barbara, Calif., the Humptou orchard truct of fifty acres. The purchase price was $35, 000. The Hampton orchard consists of thirty acres of best commercial pears ten acres of this lot being over thirty years of age. This block four years ago averaged $1600 per acre, and has year after year produced $1000 per acre. The other twenty acres Is planted to younger trees but they are producing as much ac cordingly as the older ones. Mr. Wold two years ago purchased the Sonnis orchard of seventy-four acres noar Talent, which ho owns and operates. He has bpen exten sively Interested In tbe orchard .bus iness for years, and the above sale Is a fitting tribute to the value of fruit land in this section. He is thorouoghly conversant with the or chard business. FARM BUREAU MANAGER RESIGNS; R. W. ELDKN IX TEMPORARY CHARGE The board of directors ot the Jack son county Farm Bureau exchange met last Saturday to consider changes In management rendered necessary by the resignation on the preceding Wednesday of Roland Flaherty, who has been manager of the concern from its beginning. Pending securing a permanent manager iu Mr. Flaherty's place, tbe board has induced Ralph Waldo El den to investigate the condition of the business with a view to suggest ing desirable changes in policy and also to act as temporary manager. W quote Mr. Elden as follows: "You are correct In stating that I have beeu asked to investigate the affairs of the Farm Bureau exchange and shkIhi the hoard if possible In modifying the business policies of the concern for Its benefit. I shall report to the board on such matters as in my opinion need attention vary shortly "On arcouLt of my residence l'i the county and my duties In connec tion with my home and ranch, I am not at this time a candidate for tbe permanent management of the ex change." Mr. Flaherty is said to be spend ing his vacation at Dead Iidlan springs. ESTIMATE FIFTY CAR IXMDS AGAINST TWENTY CARS OK LAST SEASON MAKE CHANGE IN SHIPP1NQ METHODS STRONG WORRY MARKET TO CONTINUE FOB I1ALANCE OF THIS MONTH ' V-. t It an estimate; shipmmit of fifty carloaus, the tivnlo crop for this year, grown In Ashlano. and the near vicinity, V be nn-e than dotiblo thai of Ins' year, acci diutr to J. 13. CallahU'i, warehouse i'c reman for the Ashland Fruit und Produce com pany, wh.) is optlmlBtic in velwing the prospects for the coming season which will begin In two months. Twenty carloads of apples were shipped to eastern and European markets from Ashland last year, Mr. Callahan stated. The Increased ship ments for this year are attributed to the Increased acreage taken over by the growers and the change from consignment to f. o. b. shipping meth ods. Prefer F. O. ft Shipments Mr. Callahan Btatea that previous to this year all shipments had been made in consignments to easterta markets and were subjected to tbe eastern flucuatlons In price. The method sometimes caused a consid erable loss to thd grower. By ship plug f. o. b. the grower is sure of a definite price, Mr. Callahn says. Tho 'last method Is said to be especially advantageous for the small grower. The locul produce company Is to ship tbe greater share of the Talent grow ers' apple crop because of the new shipping methods. In past years much of tbe Talent business was handled In Medford. Although shipping to numerous eastern markets, the produce com pany here .disposes of tho largest share of the local apple crop to nn English market, sending the fame of Ashland as a fruit growing sectlqu to Europe and the British Isles.' Berry Market Good The berry market is good and will continue until the end of this month. With approximately 150 crates packed every day, blackberries ure now topping the market. An average ot fifty boxes of Hale peaches are being shipped dally, Mr. Callahan states, to points in Klam ath county and northern California. The Crawford, Elberta and Salway peaches will not be much in evidence until tbe middle of this mouth. The peach shipment for this year is esti mated at about six carloads. Tbe average yearly peach shipment is twenty-five cars. This year's peach crop was seriously damaged by the frost which visited the local orchards in May. Ilartlott Pom In Two Weeks The local produce company will start shipping Bartlett pears in two weeks, although the crop is not ex pected to be very large. Bartlett pears are not raised as extensively by orchnrdlsts here as at other points in the valley. The Bnsc, Cornice, Krummell and De Anjou pears will be ready for market in September. CIVIC CLIB FAVORS REST ROOM; LIF.U OF A LARGE HALL The Civic Improvement club holds to the same ideas regarding a rest room and hospitality for women tour ists, but derides against a large ball. Members of the building commit tee, of which Miss Chamberlain is chairman, are gratified at the in terest shown in the proposed Civic club venture. While many of the younger set welcomed the idea of a large, clean hall for dancing parties and entertainments, the majority of telephone talks favored a more con servative plan. Home Dlmutvnnliiges Outlined Mr. Shlnn pointed out that in case the Civic club disbanded, tbe build ing and all its responsibility would be thrown back on the city, sloe the land would be granted on a lease. FIGURE M Off DOUBLE LAST YEAR'S Another member of the city coun cil dwelt feelingly on the present white elephants "browsing" in Ash land, and dreaded the probability of another. Ha believe that Ashland Is "different" from other towns, and that attendance at any entertainment seldom runs over 200 people. He also pointed to the halls in tbe li brary, which are not in demand as such cheerful, pleasant rooms should be. Thinks ' Ground Too Large A prominent Civic member urged tbat tbe request for so much land be withdrawn, because of the expense of looking after lawns and flowers. A few window boxes and cement paths sound simpler than struggling to add to "Ashland tbe beautiful Although the matter of granting land on Park avenue tor a Civic club building was discussed by tbe coun cil several months ago, no decision was reached, and no reply to the petition sent to the Civic club. May or Lamkln stands, behind the dis cussed sixty foot frontage on Park avenue, which he and. the members of tbe city council considered ade quate at the time of the petition. Tbe Civic club building commit has agreed to withdraw the request tor 125 feet, and to urge the coun cil to grant a long lease on seventy five feet Necessitates Change of Plan Instead of a community building with a large central hall, the Civic club expects to build the rest room "the Ashland idea" for babies and mothers, and a large comfort able club room where all women will be welcome, and women tourists will be made to feel that Ashland is the home town where they want to set' tie. There will be a hall that will accommodate about 200 people, with a kitchen and all the up-to-date con veniences. The building will be as bearfiful lu a smaller way, as the proposed community building. While the Civic club is eager to be of service to the city, members of tbe building com mlttee feel that the time is not ripe for a building whose upkeep might prove too great a burden. Tbey arc glad not to undertake such heavy responsibility, and later, should the need arise tor a community center, along with the development of the "get-together" spirit, the Civic cluo building might be used as a start ing point. Will Be Started Suou Meanwhile, as soon as the city council grants use ot tbe land, tbe building will be started. Mr. Lamb is working on tbe plans with the same enthusiasm that he had for tho larger building. The Civic club will enjoy its own homo, rent to some of the smaller clubs tbat have already asked for admittance, and continue to do its best to be ot service to Ashland. Ab one president wrote ot the Civic club: "Tbe main object has ever been to keep in touch with the vital questions ot tbe day, and to devote its energies toward the bet terment of conditions." Money Is coming in small checks. Please make yours as large as yon can. The change of plans will re duce the cost of building nearly one half. Your good will Is worth even more than your money.

Flat Tire Sends Car Over Bank; Woman Injured Mrs. Mary K. Swlgert of this city .had her left arm and hand broken and badly crushed and her right wrist sprained Sunday afternoon at 1:10 o'clock when a light car In which she was riding ran of. a four-foot embankment a short dis tance this side of the A. R. Brown ranch, turning completely over. lira. Swlgert was rushed to a Icsal hos pital where fears were expressed .that tbe band might bave to be am putated. Tbe operation was consid ered uuueceasury by Dr. Jarvis and Dr. Leslie Kent, a physician of Har risburg and a daughter of Mrs. Swl gart, who arrived here Monday morn ing in company with her slater, Mrs. A. . Strickland. Mrs. Swlgajrt is reported to be in an improved con dition. The blowing out or a tire on the rear wheel of the car caused the machine to skid and be precipitated over tbe embankment. The auto was driven by Mrs. Swlgart'i son. Far man. Mrs. Swlgart and her son were on the way 'to Siskiyou. Icebergs off the Atlsntle coast are more numerous than for years.

Although the cold pack methods of canning and jelly-making have been covered in a general way ear lier in the season in this series of cooking information, mnuy letters have been received recently making Inquiries regarding certain points in tbe canning process and jelly-making. The quality of Jar used plays an important part in successful results of canning. This does not mean the type of jar. Select any stylo you fancy, but bo sure there are no flaws. '.Thei; Jars, ,and covers also, Bhould be perfectly smooth where tbe two come together; there should be no cracks, rough edges. or chipped spots. Jar covers must fit so tight that there Is no possible chance of a leak after tbe jar is sealed. Thorough sterilization is a necessity both for jars and covers. Wash jars in warm, soapy wnter; rinse well, then put into a pan of cold water und bring slowly to the boiling point,, und boil not less than five minutes. Allow Jars to stand in the boiling water until ready to fill. Covers may be dropped into boiling water a few minutes before required. Another very important point is to have new rubbers each time a jar Is used. It Is false econ omy to use old rubbers. In order to withstand the boiling during tbe period or cooking tbe fruit for the cold-pack method, rub bers must be firm and elastic. Ster ilize rubbers by covering with boil ing water, then dry in a clean cloth and use at once. The essential point is to kill all basterla by beat, so ev erything that comes in contact with food to be canned must be sterilized by boiling. Fruit for canning should be rip; and fresh for the best results. Over ripe fruit is difficult to sterilize. Cold Pack Used in Many Oases uy me coicl-paclt method the fruit is placed In the jar and all cook-! Ing or sterilization Is -done In the! Jar. In this way all bacteria Is strayed and as tbe Jar is not opened; again until the fruit Is required for use, no bacteria can enter, provid ing the jars and covers are perfect, so that the jar is compeltely sealed. If . air can enter the jar the food will mold and spoil. All fruit except berries art blanched for the cold-pack method of canning. By blanching Is meant immersing fruit in a pan of hot wa ter for a certain period, the length of time depending upon the type of fruit. Blanching gives a thorough cleans ing, loosens the skin, Improves the texture and shrinks the product. Af ter blanching the fruit Is Immedi ately dipped Into cold water. This baredns tbe pulp under the skin, making It easy to remove the skin, leaves the fruit firm and sets tbn color. It also enables handling of tbe fruit at once, so that It can easily be packed Into jars. Do not allow tbe fruit to remain in the cold water; dip It In and then re move at once. Peel and pack Into jars immediately. It is necessary to handle the fruit rapidly at this stage. Many failures in canning can be traced to allowing the fruit to stand after blanching Instead of packing In jars at once. It can eas ily be understood why it is both eas ier and better in every way to blanch only a small quantity of fruit at a time. It is necessary to exercise judgment as to tbe length of time required for blanching, as the con dition of the fruit wilt govern that somewhat. Tbe time tables wblcb will fol low this article can be followed ex actly if the fruit is fresh and In per fect condition.. The time for blanch ing fruits is much easier to deter mine than that for vegetables. FiUlng witli Syrup Requimt Care After packing tbe fruit in the jar, fill to one-fourth inch of the top with hot syrup, adjust the rubbers and place the covers In position. Do not seal completely. Leave tbe clamp up, If glass-top Jars are used; for screw top Jars do not screw down entirely. The tops of the Jars should) be tight enough to fit down so that! no water can seep into the Jar, but, not so tight that tbey can be forced off by the expanding process. The density of the syrup may be varied, according to the variety ot fruit used, but a general rule which may be used for all fruit cannning is: Three parts sugar to two parts water; boil down to a thin syrup; j very sour frulta may need a heavier; syrup. Use any kettle In wlilch a rack may be placed so that the jars! will be at least one-half Inch above the bottom, and deep enough forj tbe water to come one inch above the Domestic Science Department Conducted l& Mrs.dolleDe Graf fitunesTie Science M-eefor Sprrry flour C. tops of the jars. The water must come ubove the jars In order to pre vent the liquid inside the jars boil ing out in the form of steam. Tus water from the boiler will not get into tbe jars, as all force Is outward, not, Inward. Jars not completely filled with fruit will keep perfectly because the remaining air in the jar will be completely sterilized by tbe processing or cooking. Do not count tbe length of time for cooking until the water is actually boiling. It is tbe boiling tempera ture that does the sterilizing. Cooking Time Addltlonul Factor When the fruit has cooked the re quired time take jars from tbe holla and seal tightly at once. Invert Jars aud let stand until cool. If there should be a fluw In a jar or cover It will be discovered if the jar allowed to cool inverted. Set tbe jars iu u cool place, but be careful not to let a draft of cold air strike them while cooling or they might crack. Also keep plenty of space be tween jars so that there will be a free circulation of air. Store fruit In a cool, d 17, dark place. Use ouly perfect fruit for can nlng. Tbe bruised, over-ripe fruit may be used for jam. Of course this does not mean fruit that is in any way decayed. Fruit (or jelly should be under-ripe. . The element lu fruit juice that causes it to jelly is culled pectin. To make a perfect jelly the fruit must also contain acid. Certain fruit juices contain pectin but no acid, und In that case the acid Is supplied from other fruit If fruit is over-ripe tbe pectin dis appears and It will be Impossible to make a satisfactory jelly. Pectin is comparative to gelatin; it dissolves in hot liquid and stiffens upon cool ing. A general rule is to use three fourths measure of sugar to one mea sure of fruit Juice. This will vary somewhat with the acidity of the frultj aD(1 solne redpe, cal, for e(1ai quftlltui(,s f 8Ugar and fruit Juice. However, the former quantities will U))llaly ,)e foull( satisfactory. Too mllcn augar wlll prevenl tne jurfc .,,. ,eivlne. maUlnir BVrunv or full of crystals. Too long cooking will make the jelly tough. The time for cooking depends upon the con centrutlon of the fruit juice, togeth er with the amount of pectin the juice contnlns, the degree of acidity and the proper amount of sugar. If the fruit juice seems very thin, cook It down until the water has been evaporated, so that the cooking wlll not be long after the sugar Is added If fruit for jelly-making is over ripe, apples may be combined with it and a satisfactory jelly wlll result Plum Jelly Use under-ripe fruit. Cover with boiling water and simmer until thoroughly cooked. Drain through a jelly bag. rse three quarters measure of sugar to each measure of Juice. Plum Butter Use plum pi.lp left after draining juice for jelly. Put through a coarse strainer. Use one-bnlf as much su gar us plum pulp and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Fig; Jam Blanch tigs and remove peel. Cut In half. Add three-quarters meas ure of sugar for each measure of fruit. A little lemon Juice ran bt added for flavor. Peach Marmalade Dip fruit In hot water for two or three minutes; dip In cold water, remove at once and take off peel and remove pit. Chop or slice very fine. Add three-quarters as much sugdr as fruit and cook very slowly until thick. Seal in sterilized Jars. Berry Ja m Take any variety of berry de sired. Wash, drain, then mash. Use three-quarters as much sugar as fruit, measuring carefully or weighing. Put fruit and sugar In kettle In alternate layers and let stand a few hours to extract the juice. Then bring slowly to the boiling point; then simmer until thick. Jam or marmalade may be tested by dropping some ot the syrup on a cold dlsn. It should gtlffen )n , few seo0nds.

B. Ware, then one of Ashland's city ouncllmen, and now connected with tbe Crand Rapids Trust company, at Grand Rapids, Mich., anticipated tbe growth of the Ashland auto camp ground. He pre dicted that the time would speed ily come when Ashland would find her available camp space entirely in adequate, and made a very wise pro vision in the interest of the city. Ly ing between Ashland creek and Gran ite street was a tract 200 by 300 feet mostly covered with timber, which he considered the only avail able ground for camp ground expan sion. This truct was privately own ed, and he felt It Bhould be secured to the city so that when it was need ed It would not be held at an ex orbitant price. He proposed that Hie city buy the ground while It was cheap, but other officials did not see the future us he did, und did not act, whereupon he proposed that he and Mr. Greer buy the tract and hold till Biich time us It would he needed for camp extension, to be offered to the city, when it was found that it would be needed, at cost plus taxes. This year the auto camp ground has been over-crowded, often many cars not finding room for their ac commodation and having to drive away. The park board opened nego tiations tor the Ware-Greer tract, and a deal has just been, closed whereby the city acquires It. and the nuto camp will be greatly en larged. Mr. Ware was a public spirited citizen and an Indefatigable worker for the community while a citizen here, and notwithstanding he met with severe criticism while a councilman, has held th property as agreed, and this week turned It over to the city at cost plus taxes without a penny of Inter est on tbe six year Investment. Thn property goes to the city at $1,340. Had It not been for Mr. Ware's fore sight and public spirit. It would like ly have cost the city some $3000. The park board have plans for its Immediate Improvement for addi tional camping space, and the park superintendent will proceed at once to adapt it to tbe purpose.
