Probability ot Oil.
People of Grants Pass as well aa else
where, are gettiug, or possibly many of
them already have, the oil craze. Two
companies have been boring south of
here for several weeks past and a third,
organised in Grants Pats, are about
ready to begin operationi soon. Ex
perts who have examined tbia district
claim that it is possessed of better indi
catioua for oil than Arizona or Califor
nia; but the truth of this statement is
yet to be proved. Oil men have desig
nated a territory here which is known as
the North Grants Pass Oil District. It
embraces some 6000 scree, and the ex
perts say that thia land contains oil. It
la on this land .that the Natural Gas,
Oil & Mining Company are going to be
gin boring soon, for better or for worse,
for oil or hot water. The company will
not bore for oil alone, but for artesian
hot or cold water, mineral water, gas,
oil, 01 mineral vein. Situated as Grants
Pass is in the midst of a vast mineral
belt, it is moat probable that this com
pany will strike one of the saveral things
for which they will bore.
The gold dredger which has been at
work for some time on the Waldo dredg
ing grounds along the Illinois River, has
been obliged to cease operations for a
time to await the arrival ol new buckets
for the dip chain. Tbe old buckets were
not adapted for the heavy work required
in the coarse gravel and boulders of the
Illinois snd soon wore out. Work will
be resumed as soon as the new buckets
arrive, se tbe grounds are paying well.
Machines that are suited for the work of
dredging California and other placer
grounds of tbe coast, will not work in
the Southern Oregon soil.
Tbe Lucky Cuss mine of the Williams
creek district, has been lately bonded by
McCann A Strickland, of Shriupf Broth
ers. This mine Is situated in the same
district as the Exchequer, Rising Star,
and Mountain. Lion. As its name in
dicates it hss been the subject of various
rich strikes snd discoveries, and hss
been mainly worked for the gold in
eight. The new company propose to
conduct the mine on a thorough busi
ness basis, and the Lucky Cusa, which
is poseeised of good ledger will become
a steady producer.
Just at the present time the principal
topic of discussion in mining circles is
the copper seams snd copper fields of
Waldo. W. A. Whipple, of the Whipple
copper mines, arrived in the city last
night bringing with him a bag of ore
samples from bis property. Much of
the ore is one-third pure copper while
all of it contains from 12 to 38 per cent
ol thia metal. Other samples of ore are
on exhibition from the nearly-discovered
field on Little Gray hack. - This rock,
too, is ol first quslity, snd the ledges
from which it is taken are astounding in
heir immensity. Claims are being
rapidly stsked snd development will
proceed. Little Grayback, which has
hitherto been nsught but a primeval
forest to which the scattered hunter
and campers infrequently visited in
search of game, is destined to become
tbe richest copper field of the Pacific
Coast.
The rich ore veins discovered in the
Ramsey mine ot Mount Reuben, and
the Mountain Lion, of Williams district,
still exhibit the yellow graine as the
miners remove the ore. For sise and
general value these strikes eclise all
others made in Southern Oregon this
year.
The Sterling hydraulic mine, have
finished their annual clean-up. Their
run this year extended over a period
of ten months, and the output of gold Is
'reported larger than usual, Tbe Ster
ling hydraulic is one of the big Southern
Orrgoo placer propositions, equiuped
with thorough water facalitiet, thus
enabling them to operate long after the
other mines have closed down.
Train Runs Away.
Tbirty-six lives were lust and 13 per
sons were Injured in the wreck of the
Great Northern psateniter train No. 3 at
Nyu-k, 30 miles west of Kalispel, Mon
tana, A ugust 30. None of tbe passengers
were injured, tbe fatalities having been
confined to the employes of the road.
The wreck was caused by the breaking
in two of s freight train on .the steep
grsde of s Rocky Mountain foothill.
The rear end of the freight tore loose from
the head end, dashed backward down
tbe mountain and crashed into tbe rear
end of tbe passenger train just pulling
out of the station at Nyack. The car
attached to tbe rear end of Ibe paasenger
was tbs private coach of Superintendent
Downs. Us and bis Son Kirk and their
cook, Henry Blair, were instantly killed.
The car just ahead contained 46 Scandi
navian laborers en route from Llululb,
Minn., to Jennings, Mont. Tbey were
killed by wholesale. Only 13 were taken
from the debrie alive.

In the oity of Manila there are now
less than 1,000 effective soldiers, and it
haa been decided to increase this num
ber by four eompauics of infantry. The
tfttoial reaaou for the increase ia that
Die guard doty is too heavy for the
preseut force. As a matter of foot,
however, there is a feeling that, although
there is no apparent prospect of trouble,
nevertheless, iu the event ot an upris
ing in the future, such as is always
possiblo araoug the Malaya, it wonld be
better to have a sufficient body ot troops
available. Geueral Chaffee says he con
siders the city of Manila to be perfectly
orderly aud lie can see no prospect ot an
uprising.
Many army offioera say they are grati
fied at the increase in the military force.
Thoy think that, with the military
guard withdrawn from the prison, an
other uprising there might result In the
release of about 1,800 prisoners. This
possibility is regarded as a menace to
the oity by those who take that view of
the case, as they regard the white guard
aa insufficient. City oflioiala look upon
this eontingenoy as unlikely, inasmuch
aa the 000 white police could mobilize
at the prison before any of the prisoners
could escape aud become dispersed

THE TROUBLE IN CHINA.
"Immeuse quantities of arms aud am
munition are being manufactured in
the arsenals of China," sayt the Peking
correspondent of tbe London Times,
"and immeuse quantities are also boiug

there is a movement on foot ou the part

Professor Atkinson, superintendent of
publio Instruction in Manila, has cabled

The oensus buroaa has made publio
the mortality stastlstics for the year
1000. There la shown to be a decrease
in the general death rate in the regis
tration era of 18 per 1,000 of population,
a decrease of nearly 10 per cent, and
the deoreasa in the rates from the par
ticular diseases to whioh the general do-
crease is due. Death from all the prin
cipal diseases shows a decrease since
18U0, tbe most notable being in consump
tion, whioh decreased 64.0 per 100,000.

The Week's End, a Loudon publica
tion of high character, prluts the fol
lowing stuteineut made to its corre
spondent by WilLiiun K. Vaudarbilt:
"My life was never destined to be
quite happy. It was laid on Hues which
I could reeo almost from earliest
ohildhood. It baa left me with nothing
to hope for, with nothing definite to
soek or strive for. Is great wealth a big
handicap to happiness, yon askf In
herited wealth, yes. It Is certain death
to ambition as oocaiue is to morality. A
man who makes lnouey, no matter how
much, finds certain happiness in its pos
session, for In the desire to Increase his
business he has eoustaut use for it, but
the man who Inherits it has nnue ot this.
'The first satisfaction and tbe great
lt, the buildiug of the foundatloa of a
lortuue, is deuied him. He niant labor.
If he does labor, simply te add to what
may be an ovorsuffloieucy. I try to gel
sll the 1 uu I can out of life, aud I am
quite pleased if other folks get some
thing oat of it also."
Commenting on tbe "fantastic idea of
a commercial lKnd of tbs European
nations against tho United States," tbe
London Outlook ears: "One might as
well try to hang a Venetian blind over
lbs snn as to try to exclude the influ
ence of American industries from tho
world. Fur one thing, Great Britain
wonld be no party to the bond. Fur
tuother, the power of American re
prisals would be terrible. Eveu now
Germany is on tbs vorge of a struggle
between classes oaosed by tbe proposed
tariff. Under the German tariff Aus
tria would suffer grievously."
