MINERS IDIOMS. Is a growing inclination : sntne of the high-toned writer for eastern scicnuuc journals (,, upset, abolish and wipe out the cherished old mining terms with to designate a defined ore body; tlicrcfore. have substituted "shoot." Next they find fault with our good old term "upraise," saying it is "an unfortunate colloqualism which has crept into mining parlance." A raise must be "up," it would be quite as proper to say a ' down winze" as it is to say an upraise.', That may be all right in a technical sense, lint why attempt to "jar us loose" from a lot of things we arc well used to and don't like to let go of? Next there i an objection, al most violent, to the term "country rock." It ought to be written like this "the country is granite." or "the lode permeates a schist country," or "the vein exhibits limestone on both walls." That will do for Boston or London read ers, but we will stick to the old vernacular however crude it tnav seem. Most of our mining terms have been imported from Cornish men and, having learned their stsle, it has become ingrained, sort of t;raltcd on to every memory of old times when drill pounding was delight. I remember seeing a Cor uish housewife as she stood at the door of her cabin calling to her boys, who were having a lot of tun playing in the gulch. One looked up ami said, "Her ain't calling of we, us don't belong to she." Now I don't want the old memory blot ted out, for it .seemed rather cute. There's a string of other things I learned from the Cornish of the days when Colorado was young and frisky. This plaintive wail, for instance, from a "Cousin Jack" who had buried his wife: you can get good bargains. Our stock of Clothing and Underwear to nick from, and all. Come and examine them.

"Mr. Ilengeu and Mr. Mathews, of the Oregon Securities Co., spent last evening in my room, and we had u very pleasant visit.

I WATERED WALL STREET SHRINKS TO VALUES. A business man reaps in good times, but never forgets that bad times and slack times will come again.

One of the most enjoyable and successful evening's entertainment given in Cottnfic Grove for some time, was that held in Woodmen's Hall on Tuesday night, by the Ladies of the Maccabees. Despite the rain, which had continued all day, the large hall was filled with the ladies and their gentlemen friends. A short but interesting nrocram was first given, consisting of ins - trnmental music, recitations and songs, among them being a song by Miss liarton. Recitations by Mrs. Hart, Otto and Opal Hart and Vernita Thomas. A story by J. C. Johnson and instrumental selec tion by Mrs. Hart and Mr. Noakes. A number ot visiting3ladies from the neighboring cities were present. From Kugene were the Misses.

THE VALUES OF STOCK COMPANIES Persons often have very erro neous view as to the value of stock companies. In such companies, honestly conducted, there are two chief features; the officers and ' directors are usually men of ex perience iu the world of business or of finance. This gives concentra tion responsiblity in the mauage I ment. The stockholders are I usually persons of moderate means who are making more than they spend, but who, individually, could neither manage nor finance a company. The combination of the means of a great number gives the necessary capital for organization and development. The profits are distributed among the stockholders ; and tllis a diffusion of wealth. There are over 1,000,000 stock holders in the railroads of the United States, and those holding stock in banks, . manufacturing concerns, mines, oil companies commercial enterprises, etc., are equally numerous.

Portland Ore., Feb. 21, 1904. 1 Editor Nugget An official invitation is here by extended to the County of Lane, to make an exhibit, either in its own behalf or in connection with some other body, municipal or otherwise, at the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition to be held in Portland in 1005. It is the purpose of the Exposition to en courage comprehensive exhibits by counties and by chambers of con merce, boards of trade and other commercial organizations. For exhibits of this character, illustrat ing the resources, industries- and progress of communities, the follow ing regulations have been provided; First. The preparing and in. stalling of exhibits by counties or organizations will be left to the counties or organizations in whose name or under whose authority the exhibits are made. Counties or organizations may erect separate buildings, or may install their ex hibits in the State building of the State in which the County or organization is located. Space will be provided on the Exposition grounds for all buildings erected by counties and organizations and no charge will be made there for. Plans and specifications for such buildings shall be sbumitted to the Director-General for his ap proval. becond: All collective exhibits made by counties and trade or ganizations will be permitted to participate in the general competi tion; that is, be both collective and competitive. I desire to enlist your co-operation and support in this movement, and respectfully to urge early con sideration of this invitation so that, if favorable action be taken, we may allot the necessary space and give you ample time to proceed with preparations for your exhibit. Whatever may be the decision upon our invitation, I am satisfied we can shape our plans so as to harmonize all efforts to the end that your exhibit may be highly creditable, not only to your pro gressive community and State, but to the Exposition as well. We feel confident that the anangement we propose will offer to countries an exceptional oppor tunity of demonstrating their potentialities at the Lewis and Clark Exposirion of 1905, and that the result of exhibits made in this way will be beneficial to all.

Last Sunday, while hunting, cattle on the headwnten) of Wolf Creek, Wade Hayes of Crow had an encount er with a monster cougar. Ilayea wa going through 11 heavy clump of brush when he suddenly enmo across tlie cougar lying flat on n log. He drew his revolver and flrvd at tho nnliunl, the shot taking effect but , not disabling it. With a yell the In 'furiated beast sprang upon the man j boforv he could use IiIh pistol again and bore, him to the ground, lluyen I tryed Iifvaln to free his right arm so as to be able to uso hln plHtol. but tho cougar- had his right hand In ltn mouth nnd he was unable to extri cate It. Realizing hln desperate con dition and knowing that his end was near unless he despatched his adver sary at once, HayeH drew hhj knlfo from Ills pocket and openlnir tho blade with his teeth began HhiMhing; at the cougars throat. In a few minutes the nuliiml loosed his hold upon tho man and fell over dead.
