POLK COUNTY MINERS
Pilot Knob Gold Mining: Com
pany Has Made a Rich
Strike in Nevada.
The White Pine News, published
in White Pine county, Nevada, has
the following concerning the Pilot
Knob Gold Mininir company, a
corporation of Polk coimty citizens:
"An astonishing discovery was
made last week by the Pilot Knob
Gold Mining company, ol Mon
mouth, Oregon, on their Pilot Knob
mine.
The tunnel bad been driven in
but fifteen feet, when a blind quartz
ledge, three feet wide, was un
earthed, containing gold plainly
visible to the naked eye, and the
assay yalue 6f the ore is supposed
to run up into hundreds of dollars
to the ton.
"The Pilot Knob company has a
group of ten claims in the district,
and it is asserted by those in a po
sition to know, that every mine in
the group will yield their owners a
dividend as soon as the facilities
for testing the ores are arranged.
"Ten men are now at work de
veloping the properties. The grade
for the mill and concentrator is
finished, and the machinery is ex
pected on the ground this week.
All of the necessary timber and
building material is on the ground
Tt will only be a shert time when
the mill, which will be situated
two and one-half miles from the
mines, and run by the water of
Willard creek, will be turning out
'its bars of bullion.
The Pilot Knob company, which
was incorporated at Monmouth,
Oregon, last fall, with a capitaliza
tion of $250,000, have the necessary
funds with which to prosecute the
deyelopment work in a careful and
systematic manner, while at the
same time treating the ores from
the mines with a small plant first
and preparing the properties for a
larger output and the realization of
greater dividends.
"Other prospects now being de
veloped will make good our asser
tion that our connty must lead
them all. Others must follow."
. W. T. Hoiiman, of Independence,
is on the ground superintending
the work. . ...
Claude Vox
and Ed Owens comprised a bunch 8e the .hr"e
that took in the Fourth at Port
land. Mrs. Martha Singleton and
niece. Mrs. Thompson, and the lat
ter's little eon, of Roseburg. are
visiting relatives here. Mrs. Sin
gleton is a sister of Harbin and J.
R. Cooper. She has not been in
Independence before for thirty
years.
Rev. W. E. Turner will preach at
Highland school house the 9th
inst, at Monmouth on Sunday at
11a.m. Rev. Turner is young
minister recently from Idaho, and

Ducking' on Horseback.
A ducking on horseback is what
James Jones baa in Brown's lake
south of town Saturday. Believing
swimming to be good training for a
horse, Jones mounted his animal
and plunged into the depths of the
lake. Upon reaching a point
where the water was eighteen to
twenty feet deep, the horse sank.
Then he rose and upon reaching
the surface, "turned turtle" and
sank again. The second time he
was on ms DacK
kicking wildly with Jones between
his fore legs. Jones succeeded as a
matter of life or death, in freeing
himself from the horse and swim
ming ashore, and the horse, reso
lutely, refusing to swim, sank
again and walked out on the bot
tom. It was a narrow escape for
horse and rider.
WAIT UP IN CANADA.
of our fellow townsman. Mr. six
Mrs. Taylor traveled a long way to
attend the function, and it was a
memorable affair at the beautiful
home of Mr. and Mrs. James
Taylor.
The golden wedding day dawned
clear and fair; the bright sunshine
and beautiful flowers served o
welcome the guests who came from
near and far to welcome the happy
event. Fifty guests sat down to
the wedding dinner. The table
was beautifully decorated with
col Jen lilies. Before partaking of
the bountiful repast a short address
and word of prayer was oflered by
the pastor of the IVinpsry Baptist
Church, of which Mr. and- Mrs.
Taylor are members, the beauti
ful old Paraphrase "Oh! God of
Bethel" (which is a favorite of
Mr.. Taylor) was sung at the din
ner table. The good old times
were discussed, and many merry
thrilling tlea were told. After
dinner the children presented their
father with a handsome gold watch
and chain, and the narrow wedding
ring of long ago attached to a new
and handsome gold-band, made
glad the mother's heart. The af
ternoon was spent renewing old
firiendship.
Besides Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, of
Oregon, other places represented
were: Cassburn, St. Eugene,
Woodstock, Vanbleet Hill, Geneva.
Carellon and Isle aux Chats. The
presents were handsome and select
ed with good taste. A circum
stance worthy of tote and often
mentioned by Mr. and Mrs. Tay
lor is the fact of there being four
marriage between their respective
families.

I would like to be president

than half a president lor seven

In the the long run, the moht

It is a good thing to be a good
halfback; but it is a mighty bad
thing if, at forty, all you can say of
a man is that he was a good half'
back.
The millennium is a good way

When you mcke it evident that
no man shall be excused from vi

Exactly as yon need in war the

peace the man behind the plough,
the man at the machine.
It is a good lesson for nations
and individuals to learn never to

to hit soft.
Hardness of heart i3 not much

Any generation fit to do its work

The fact that a man talks loud
does not mean, necessarily, that he
fights hard. Sometimes you see a

hard, but he does not fight hard
because he talks loud, but in spite

I would plead with my country
men to show not any special brill

ordinary humdrum, commonplace
qualities,rwhich in'the aggregate.
