The Kurds are a wild, lalet, savage race and the government is cor rupt, weak and lax. Good government and order will never be known thero as long as the TuikiHli rule is allowed lo continue; but as long as a semblance of civilized government is maintained, the nations have scruples about taking en tiro chaigo ol its alluiiB. The jealousy existing between Ihe milium and the ne cessity of preserving the "balance ol liower" are lesponsible for the existence of the Turkish iovernment to this lime.

Perkins returned last week from Wolf Greek and vicinity, and during bit absence, visited Ihe nun famous Hcrib-ner-Ilenderson mine in that district. This is probably one of the most unique and peculiar properties on Ihe coast. The gold is all obtained by panning, no other gold saving appliance being used The mine lies on the Woll Creek tide of the divide between Wolf and Coyote creek. The gold is found near the sur face 111 bum lies, sea ins and stringers of decomposed ipiarlx and other vein mat ter. A little stream from a near by spring is brought conveniently near and runs Into a box or trough with compart ments Into which the men pan. The dirt rum all the way from ia cents to many dollars to ihe pan. Home few puis of dirt bave yielded as high as $100. The amount secured In nine months al moit steady panning has been enormous JYirge amounts of sulphurets also are secured and Host are rich in gold. They are thrown aside, lor treatment a' tome future tune. At present, the owners have no time fur anything but the pure article. The mine lies on a contact ol porphyry and serpentine, the gold being founlin the Kirphyry, ihe stringers all tending toward tlie contact. It la most probable that a permanent mine ol great richness will be developed with depth. At the present time the owners are too busy taking care ol the gold on the surface lo look anywhere else for the precious me tal. Oiefon Slate Fair.

One of the most stupendous explosions of dynamite which has ever occured In this portion ol the state took place on Saturday afternoon near (ilrnrlale. The following account Is given ol the catas trophe : What is regarded as one of the worst wrecks in the history of the Southern Pacific Company's lines in Oregon, took place at tunnel No. 7, six and one ball mile) north of GUndale, Saturday after noon about 4:30 o'clock. Extra freight No. 222, east, composed ol 28 cars, with three engines, was just emerging from Tunnel No. 7, which is a short one on s sharp enrvs in the track, and about 100 feot long, when the train parted, th air note breaking. The sudden jar caused two rear cars loaded with dynamite to explode. The entire train was demol ished except the engine, and it was in jured somewhat. There were 10 cars ol melon), two of powder, two of fruit and the remainder miscellaneous freight. All but three cars of melon) were totally demolished by the force of the explosion, which was felt for miles around the sur rounding country. ' A car filled with acid look fire, and the flame) spread to the dry brush and timber, causing a Aerce conflagration. Cow Creek, which runt a'ong the aide of the track at Ibis point, wss filled with debris and burn ing wreckage. The building) ol Ihe Victory mine, one-half mile distant, were badly that tared, and in a house one mile distant from the scene, a sick woman wat thrown Iroin her bed by Ihe force of the sin ck, her arm and shoulder being badly dislocated in the fall. The train crew miraculously escaped with only a few bruises and scratches. At least 11 cara were blown to atoms and cannot be accounted for, while even their trucks are missing. Wrecking crewa were sent lo the scene ol disaster from Portland, Itoseburg and Ashland, and at midnight about 200 men were busily at work clearing the track. The tunnel appears to be uninjured, although the track and roadbed, were torn np lor a great distance, and the telegraph wires, except one, although they, are quite a distance up the hill from the wreck, were demolished.

I.ate de velopments prove that as rich enprs-r ore ia contained in the ledgen of the Waldo copper belt of Southern Oregon as is found in the copier regions of any country in tlie world. The Waldo cop per Gelds, situated in Southwestern Josephine County, cover an area 20 miles wide by over 30 in length, ext end ing from the Illinois River, near the lit tle mining tow n of Kerhy, to the Cali fornia line. The large ledges of copper of the district have been known to exist since the pioneer days of 50 years a.o, but in tho mad rush for the more pre cious yellow metal, the less valuable copper veins of the mountains were practically ignored until four years ago. At the present time there are a dozen mines in the Waldo copper district being worked or developed, while over a score more of claims have been recently slaked, and new discoveries are being continually made. The smelter, situa ted at the.Htrong mines, near the center of tho district, is being run at full blast, treating the ore of the surrounding mines. Other smelters are being talked of for the district, as the ore being re moved would keep a dozen in operation. The H rut discovery; of copier in Oregon was made iu IHiX) by two prospector who were searching tor gold. The dis covery was made in Southwestern Jos ephine County. No steps- towards re moving the copper ore of tlie discovery were made till many years later, al though! from a similar claim, discovered at the same time, just across the line in California, considerable development work was dune and many tons ol ore were shipped across the soa to Kurope to be smelted. The real discovery of copper in South ern Oregon dates back to 1K88. W. J. Strong, who is at present an Illinois Valley farmer and miner, was out hunt ing In the mountains when he discover ed a large ledge of copper, which devel oped into what is now the Cowboy cop per mine. In a short time, Strong nnd a partner had located six claims in the immediate district, which at present comprises the Strong group of mines, on which the smelter is located. In WM Brown and Wheeler, two capitalists of Baltimore, Md., became interested in the Waldo copper fields, and purchased the Strong mines and erected the smel ter. The mines were later purchased, and are at present owned by Morgan Draper, ol San Francisco. To Brown and Wheeler ia due much of the credit of opening up the riches of the Waldo copper fluids to the world. It was they who expended the first money in build ing roads, bridge) and buildings at the mines. Professor O. W. Lehmen, who was (or 20 years the chemist of the Balti more Copper Works, and who is con ceded to be one of the greatest author ities on copper, said, after) an examina tion of the copper mines of the Waldo belt, that they were the most extensive end the richest body of copper ledges so fur known to exist in the world. A detriment to the copper mines ol Waldo is their distance from the rail road. Much expense is entailed in haul ing the ore or matte to Grants Pass or Crescent City, from which iioiiils it Is shipped to the markets or smelter. The present method of hauling the ore out by wagon is far too inadiHuuto for the Immense ore bodies that this copier dis trict contains. The most cxtonsive ot the Waldo mines is the Strong group, owned by Morgan Draper. A 30-ton smelter is situated on these mines, and is kept in operation, nearly 100 men lieing em ployed. The quantity of ore in sight at this mine is extensive. About half way up the mountain-side on which the main working is situated a ledge 130 feet in width is exposed. In this ledge arc numerous veins of copper, varying be tween four and live feet in width and separated by deposits of sorpentinu, these deposits being highly mineralized. Higher up tl o mountain is a 300-font tunnel, which passes from one side of the mountain to the other, follow ing a (otir-fcsit copier vein. Shafts and drifts have been cut through all parts of this mountain. I-edgcs and veins of copper aro encountered at every ioint aud at all depths through the mountain's in terior. On the range adjoining the Strong group are found tho Whipim group of mines. Samples of ore brought into Grants Pass a few days ago from these mines gave assay returns of IS and !' per cent copper, w ith also a fair show ing of gold. Tho tunnel tupping tho Whip ple mine reaches a depth of 325 feet. The ledge is 22 feet in width. Olio hun dred and fifty tons ot ore lio on the dump utilsidu the Whipple, awaiting transportation to the smelter.

Mm Strong and Whipple mines is found the Little copper group. In these mines considerablo development work has been done and inauv tons of rich ore have Ihi o removed. The tunnel bus la-en run in to a depth of .101) feet tapping or following a ledge that has an average width of 12 feet. At the present time there are over 100 tons of ore on the dump awaiting treatment. On down the Illinois River some 20 miles from the Strong group is found the Waldo copper mines. They are situated but a short distance from the stage road leading from Grunts Pass to Crescent City, and are likewise easier of access. - The combined claims of the Waldo mines include 3H0 acres. Severs thousand tons of rich ore are piled in a huge dump outside the tunnel of the Waldo, which will lie treated in the smelter in a short time. Tho plant of this mine consists of a 30-ton furnace, Baker blower and rockcrusher. Good comfortable buildings for the arconi modatinn ot the employes are erected. The ore removed from the Waldo mine is pronounced the richest of the entire district ; much of it picked np indiscrim inately from the dump w ill af-say 30 per cent copper. Scores of discoveries have been made and claims located in the Waldo district of late. Among these discoveries the most imKrtunt is that of the Mammoth ledge, situated above nine milts from Waldo. The croppiiigs on the summit of the mountain in which the Mammoth ledge ia situated show that the ledge of the mine has a width of 500 feet. All over the summit of this mountain ate found huge gossuniferous rocks, nperir ing like great kilns. These rocks are reddened and scorccd by the intense heat that ages ago issued from the heart of the mountain below. A tunnel In the Mammoth crosscuts the big ledgn to a depth of 325 feet. The ore of this ledge carries values in copper ranging from 5 to 11 kt cunt, which is not of as high grade us other mines ot the district, but the ledge is much more extensive than any of the ledges of the others. The Waldo district, like all other sec tions ol Southern Oregon, is Well sup plied with wood and water two ab solute 'necessities in mining methods. Besides producing copper, tho Waldo district has always been a rich, gold producer, some of the richest hydraulic mines of the Josephine mining district being situated there.-Dennis Htovull in Evenlnj?
