Wednesday, the 19th Inst, la the last moment when those of our citi sens who feel that duty calls them to serve the dear people in some offi cial capacity can quality as candidates lor county office. The lists are al ready closed tor state and district offices. It is expected that there will be a number of last-minute candi dates for the nominations, though most of the places are already well represented with contestants. The office of sheriff of Josephine county still holds the greatest allurement, and 10 citizens of the county are out after the fun of making the race next Kovember. Here is a ease where a very small minority of the Toters can determine who the candidates of the parties shall be. The last day for the registration of Toters will be Tuesday, the books to close at five o'clock of that day. Monday evening the office of the county clerk will be kept open to ac commodate those who have been un able to come earlier. There is still hope for the delinquent, however, tor If he fails to register he can vote by hunting up a couple of his frienas as witnesses and swearing in his vote. . The republican, democrat and pro gressive parties are the only ones that will be represented in the primary election on May 19. It you are re gistered as of any other political faith than of these three, or if yon refused to designate your party when registering, there will be no place for you to vote at the primary. MIXING DEVELOPMENT IN PROSPECT. There is no mistaking the signs of the times. Southern Oregon is just on the eve of a great awakening of mining interests. A number of im portant deals have already been con summated and others of even greater magnitude are approaching final ac tion. The mine has been a main fac tor In the upbuilding of this district. Southern Oregon was first settled in tbe days immediately after the rush of the '4 9 erg to California, and Jose phine and Jackson counties yielded many millions of dollars in placer gold, there being creek beds that have produced at the rate of a million dol lars per mile. After the easier work ed of this placer ground had been gone over there was a period when the mining business was at a stand still, some mines always working, but little being' done with the quartz and deep mine propositions. Placer ground waa worked over, and with Improved methods of mining muc.h ground that was passed over In the earlier days became valuable. Now copper is attracting attention equally with gold, and these are having to divide honors with metals that had been strangers to the prospector here tofore.; Today the hills are being hunted over by the man with the pick to whom the copper, gold, iron, tung sten, platinum, and numerous other metals are the attraction. Chrome iron ore that has been untouched Is sow being gotten out for shipment, and recent discoveries of vast depos its of Iron ore may prove of greatest value. Capital from the outside is being brought to the district, and during the past six months more men of experience and standing In the mining world have visited the district than had been here for many decades High Grade Goods WORCESTER SALT NEW ORLEANS MOLASSES UIIAND'S A.

As a result of these Investiga tions a number of mines have already changed hands and will graduate from the list of prospects or of small producers kept prospects or small producers because of the lack of capi tal to real mines. A number of other deals are now pending, one of which will no doubt result in the es tablishment of a big dredging proposi tion,' and the rumors of a smelter available to the miners of copper and of base ores are becoming more and more insistent to get upon the map, .
