In the state of Maine, 12 persons have
already been accidentally shot by
hunters during the present season
iivs of these are (lead. A law war
pained by the legislature prescribing a
maximum penalty of ten years lin

exasperating to read of such "accidents"
as these. Ths number of those who uts

The bouthern Oregon mineral field is
one of marked activity. During the
pant teaaon, many new properties have
received equipment! and many of the
already established equipments have
been improved and extended. Capital
ists are looking more end more to
Bouthern Oregon as a Held for profitable
mining investment and the old es
tablished fallacy of its being a "pocket"
country is sinking more and more into
ttie background as our mines are opened
and developed.
The Harriman and the Morgan-Hill
yndieates have come to an agreesrent
and the result Is the biggest railroad
combine ever consummated. James J,
mil, the long headed magnate of the
great Northern, is president of the new
trust. The elTuots uf a big combination
of capital like this can not be determined
In a hurry. It is probable tbat little
apparent change In the management ol
the toads will ensue. The public hv
terett and convenience connected witb
the great railroad system is to direct
and so extentive that the financiers will
have a care as to the manner in which
hey Juggle rates or accommodations.
Any directly oppressive measure might

Mt. Reuben district where he ia develop
Ing a quarts property of excellent
promise. For some time past he has
been engaged in running a tunnel in
which, at depth ol 160 feet, be has ex

magnificent width of five feet and carries
high values.

Luren Adams and Clark Tavlor re
turned last week from a trip to Whiskey

prospect of excellent promise. Ho has
a Hires Inch stringer of quartz which is
very rich in free gold, samples of the
rock appearing full of the yellow metal.
the quarts ia solid and hard and lire
sentt the appearance of having come

Whiakey creek It a tributary ol Rogue
river and Ilea just weat ol Reuben creek.
It It a very promising field for the pro
pector and it one of the productive (lis
tricts of the future. The locality is
quite rough which accounts lor Its un
developed condition.
Llltl Gre.ybn.ck Copper.
At the recently discovered Conner
mines on Little Urayback, Josephine
county, there is much activity. Nearly
everything has been taken up, repre
senting 50 claims. The greater part are
being developed at fast aa is poaaible.
In some of tbe older claims tunnela
have been run to a depth ol GO and 75
feel, or opened op by shafts to this
depth, The led'get exposed show widths
ranging from 10 to 160 hint, carrying
copper values of 11 to SO per cent.
King Hydraulic Mine.
The King mine on Althouse creek has
received greatly improved euiiinment
during tbe tumiaer Just past and is now
ready for operation on a more extensive
sca'e than ever before.
Old Channel Mine.
The work ol improving the equipment
ol the Old Channel hydraulic mine at
(iajice is hearing completion. The
ditches have been overhauled anil en
larged and a great denl ol near dinning
added. A large rmorvoir has been con
structed and the whole available pres
sure, 610 feet, has been brought to bear.
A large crew of men have been at work
all summer undr the direction of J. R,
Harvey and the mine has been put into
shape for working on a far more exten
sive scale than ever before. Always
among lh giant hydraulic properties of
(Southern Oregon, its iinpoitwico is very
perceptibly increased. Every thing
about I bis mine, the depth of the gravel,
the piccsiire, the dump, tho extent, nd
ncnnrmoi me ground, ia on the limit
magnificent scale.

in these days of giant powder, it is
aimplo matter to manage the big hard
boulders that are often found in the
placers. In the old days if a miner found
a rock too heavy lo be moved and loo
hard to bo sledged, ho was obliged to
reBort to Ins ingenuity. "Burning" a
rock was a method frequently practiced
A nig lire would be built upon and
around the rock which would he healed

We are having a nice gentle raiu, bad
for wood haulers, but us they have had
t long time to get their wood on Ibe
track, they should be willing for the
farmers and miners to hays rain tor
.heir lienefit.
The roads are getting badly cut up by
so much teaming. We nnderatand that,
years ago, when the miners wanted to
lay in their auppliea they (would go to
ths little country stores snd buy them,
then carry them on their backs, to their
mines. Mow that ia all changed. Each
of us has a deliyo. y wngon, so when we
get an order we deliver the goods to the
purchaser. In those days the miner
ton lined his work to gulcb mining.
They found large channels but it took
capital to work them aa water had to be
brought from a long distance. How all
tiiat bus thanked. Capital has become
interested and long ditches have been
constructed, costing, m koine instances,
quite a fortune, but as the heavy ciiau
dels are opened, lin y are found to be
very rich and alto very eiu-nriveai-d
will last for ages. Quartz milling ia in
its infancy. Our uiin-ira bave found a
number of good ledges, but have net
die capital to work them arid are nierel)
doing their uatessinent work. When
meu with money come bete, if I bey wish
to buy ledges they want them so cheap-
il.at the pioepeciors would rather hold
on to their ledges than sell for a song.
J. J. Kinney has a ledge lhatshuwr.
flee gold in encouraging quantity aud is
also of a good width. Cox baa a ledge
which carries free gold. I'rom ita ap
pearance, it in a good proposition, lie
is piepamig to work it thia winter.
Jim McCaslin has returned Irum
