ENTERTAINS EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE, Supplies Lmtost NEW PROCESS Records SCND TOR CATALOGUE 36 Quartz in Southern, Oregon. , Daring the past year a moth greater Interest baa been taken in Southern Oregon quarts mining than ever before. Many new claims have been located and developed throughout tba various dis tricts, snd new and rich properties bavs been brought to light, and old and es tablished mines bave added to their plant and equipment. The success be ing met by those engaged has given courage to others, and it now seems an assured fact that the quarts mines of Southern Oregon have entered a perma nent and profitable business era. Bine the early days of 60 yean ago Southern Oregon has been noted as a placer mining region. The gravel of every stresm was rich with the yellow grains, and it required but a crude rocker and shovel for the pioneer to crsdle out the precious stuff in astonish ing quantities. Even after all the gold was skimmed from the surface, and it be came necessary to introduce the monster hydraulic giant, tba big ledges in the mountain depths were still ignored by the miners. Hunting for quarts ledges, opening them up, and lying by waiting for a purchaser was a pursuit too full of embarrassments, and entirely too flow for the pioneer prospector. "Pocket bunting" was the nearest approach he male to quarts bunting in Southern Oregon. The prospector of today is con tent with a color in any form that it mav show itself, but the pioneer miner and pocket-banter was not so essily pleased ; he ignored everything but tree gold, and even that he wanted in as big chunks and as close as possible. These things led to Southern Oregon being known as a ''pocket" and placer miuing country. Much more capital, mechanical skill snd scientific experience is required in the opening up of a quarts property than is necessary in a p'acer mine. Thes things, coupled with the excellent natural facilities offered, made Southern Oregon take a leading place as a miuing field in the gold regions of the coast. In this district there are so many ancient channels, bars stream beds and gulches possessed of deep, loose and rlc h auriferous gravel, that it can do naught else than take leading rank as a by draulic mining region. The small county of Josephine contains at the present time 150 hydraulic placer miuea more than any 'other section of like area in the West. Considering the fact that the great majority of these mines couldjiot be worked out for the next 100 years, Southern Oregon, from the plscer point of view, has a brilliant future before it. But to the future output of the hy draulic mines of this region, will be added the yield of the quarts bullion producers, as every district of late is becoming possessed of its rich quarts mines. Stamp-mills are having their batteries increased, crews aie being doubled, plants and equipment are being added to. and the shafts are be ing fearlessly sunk deep down, for mining men are being brought to the realization that the Southern Oregon quarts mines are not merely pockets, but permanent, paying ledges. The vein mater of the Southern Ore gon ledges varies but little throughout the various districts, and, with a few ex ceptions, msy be described as a hard, white and compact quarts, carrying metallic sulphides and free gold in vary ing qiantity. The Southern Oregon ore yields readily In the mortar of the stamp-mill, so readily, in fact, .that the earlier minors found readv money In a band mortar or an ar rail re. So nvuch free-milling or oxidized ores existed on the surface that it was not until late years that any attempt was made to save the concentrates, the rich ledges of sulphides being left exposed in the sbalts and tunnels. Aside from gold quarts mining the discovery of rich copper ledges has added much to this phase of miuing in Southern Oregon during late years. The recently discovered copper fields of south Josephine county are attracting the attention of capitalists and metal lurgials from all parts of the world. State Metallurgist Anbury, of California states, alter making a thorough explora tion of the new field, that he believes it to be an extenaion of the famous Shasta bell of Northern California, whose mines, with the aid of capital, bave in late years, made Bbasta the ranking county of California as a metal producer. Experts wbo bave visited the new field, are firm in their belief that this vast de posit of copper will, with proper de velopment produce as much metal as the Anaconda district of Montana, or the Jerome district of Arizona. While a lame area of the new field is in Siki yon county, California, the whole is practically In Southern Uregon as mountain barriers and absence of roads mske an approach from the south im possible.

Aa a apecimen of the references to it made the press, the following, from the Chsrlcston (8. C.) News and Cour ier, is interesting: One of the Buffalo paper notes that Oregon is displaying ia the Horticul tural building at the Pan-American Fx position, a medal awarded to the state by the Pomologiral Association of Amer ica, "for the highest excellence of fruits," the medal being shown with the exhibit of apples, peaches, pears, plums and prunes for which the award was made. That Oregon should have won the prize from all the United State and Canada ia, of course, greatly to the credit of the fruitgrowers of the state, but how very much credit belong to them will more fully appear from a abort statement of the recent and diffi cult beginning of their now thriving industry. The first fruit trees, it is stated by Colonel II. E. Doech commissioner from Oregon to tho Pan-American Ex position, were planted in the state in 1847, and were one-year grafts brought all the way across the plains in a wagon box by ajnau Darned Llewelling. They were planted in the box, "and were watered laithfully night and morn ing during the five mouths of the jour ney." The varieties were apples, pears, peaches and cherries. The apple trees bore their first fruit in 1853, and that year and the year after every apple on them was sold for (1 apiece. A little later they sold for 110 a box of 45 pounds and sold quickly at that price. Some of the original trees are still living and the state is now winning prizes for the fin est fruit grown on the continent. The story is an interesting one in its- self, and it has one plain moral, which is that natural disadvantages for the growing of fruit id any region need not prevent the development of the indus try in a very high degree by patient and intelligently directed industry. The re cord shows that Oregon did not have a fruit-tree on its soil 50 years ago, and it is now among the foremost fruit-growing states. - Council Proceedings, The regular meeting of the city coun cil was hold Thursday evening. All were present with the exception of Councilmen Lewis and Smith. The petitoa of II. C.
