Thit would be in accordance with.the Bps lth-American instinct, but Uncle Him will be on hand to quench all such effervescence. Mr. Palmasays: "There are two things which I shall ever strive Ln accoasnlish. The most Important in trnthen the mrdial relations ex istlni between the republic ol Cuba and the United States of America. My other oblect will be to conduct an economical administration, and under this bead I bops to develop the Isla de Cuba principally tbe agricultural Industries I hope to secure a reduction of tariff this country to that the products Cuba may be received here." There It sentiment expressed among our Dullness men for an awakening and united effort to bring the many and extensive resources of Josephine county Into more general publicity. At one meant to thit end, a mining exhibit suggeited many timet before, It pro posed. The railroad company has offered a lot for thit purpose la ths depot park on the corner next tbe depot. It it proposed to erect a neat one story building at a cost of about 1600, about 28 or 30x50 feet, nicely finished with native wood, using the front portion of tbe building .for tbe exhibit and tbt back.' part for a publii library and assembly rootnt lor tbe cilltent' organisation which will have the matter In cbtrge. The exhibit would be especially valuable In view ol the 1905 fair In Portland and the vast numbers of eastern people who will psss brougb our town going to and from ths siposliion. A mining exhibit is not far reaching advertisement but it intensely effective. It It tomtlhlDg real and tangible and Impresses the visitor in a substantial way that oceans ot literature could never do.

One of lbs marked fealuree of the trade in most things is ths Interior quality of tbe goods. Cheapness seems to be tbs predominating characteristic. Thit it especially true of Japanese pro ductions. Ths Japanese are Imitating a vast number ot foreign goods and putting cheaper quality on the market; Ikev re especially shrewd In imitation ol brands. Boniethlng of the diversification ol the trade of Japan will be observed from the great variety of things she sells to China. She understands the nature and character of the Chinese, makes close etudy ol the requirements, and eaten to tbe peculiar artistic Utte ol tbe masses and thuir desire lor very cheap goods. It is one ol tbe trails of tb Chinese to handle the things they use very care fully, and hence cheap sud poorly made articles will last inurh longer in service than with must people. Goods ma le In China would beol Utile value lor u by the Americans. Your Doctor Fights Disease with medicine. If tlie medicine is not right he can not conquer disease.

A A A A A A A A A A AAA A A AAA A A A A A This characteristic makes the Chine market for flimsy, gaudy, and cheap things a good one in many lines. It is not, however, applicable to all branches, lor tbe trade-mark of substantial and sallslactory products has a greater value here than In most countries. The Chinese bave an intense love for pictures and artistic ornamentation, such at flowers and flguret on hand mir rors, wash basint, pitchers, eU:. Those desiring to manufacture for Hie Chlnene trade should make a careful study ol thit trait of their character, as in most thing it will materially improve 1 1 e tale of their goods. Articles that a-e to be told in packagea should always be ornamented to tuit the Chinese twite. Tbe strength of the Chinese regard lor ornament and picture of a cheap nature will be appreciated by observing ths sale upon the streets ol evury Chinese city ol pictures and posters, such a are spread broadcast all over tbe United Slates tree. Ont ol the peculiar (eaturet ol the trade In China it the great quantity ol old Iron Imported plates, tubes, wagon tlea, horseshoes, railway tpike, wire rope, boopt, and general wrap Iron. Thit it worked over, welded together, and put to variout uses In tbe small blacksmith sbopt throughout the coun try. It illustrates the intense economy olthe people and the small value of labor. I would emphasise tbe value of a careful tludy of Chinese ideas and prejudices in matters ol advertising; for instance, in condensed milk. The Chinese hsvs ths idea that milk revives tbs youthful powers, and that it hat siecial virtue as winter loud lor old eo plo. Pictures and charsclen illustrat ing thit idea, at well at the value o! it lor baby food, will without doubt in crease lbs tale. Proper sdvertising is ol Immense value In China, lor lads and pn judicee ars mors tenacious there than else where. It It an easy matter to sundlo China an article that will not be used ; lor In etance, spoons made according to the loreign model ate disliked, while thoau made alter the Chinese form are increas ing rapidly in sales. The country it being flooded with frauds snd Imitations; for instance, the American brand ol Kaglo milk has grown to be very popular with the Chinese, and Imitations ol It are put upoo the market Irom Japan and Hol land, and even Hhaughai la manufactur ing an imitation. Oni has the exact eagle ol the Kagle brand on the cun, but it printed lluuard brand. The C'hineee who cannot read ars cauvht by the figure ol the eagle. Another case was discovered where can of fruit wat marked "Nmall Califor nia Bartlelt peart."

Thousand ol (inspectors have walked over it and probably every foot of it has been superficially examined. The main wagon road of southern Oregon, the old stage road, runt tcrofts it. Yet its value has been as i-lTcclually concealed as though it were located hundreds of miles from civilization, though tlie simple experiment of testing Ihe values of the reck was all that was Decenary to mark it as a valuable property. The Dry Urging is probably one ol the most peculiar mineral tracts in the world. U has been mined with more or leas steadiness since lbs early ininina day of southern Oregon,, principally ut placer ground. The whole surface of the mountain side and its adj.icent slopes payt for hydiaulic operation wherever water can he brought to benr on it and tome ol the gulches have been very rich. There it little or no gravel and the diatrihution of gold in the surface ear h it remarkable. The mountains back of the Dry Dig gingt form themselves into a curious lit tle knot. A ridge run back from tht river forming the divide between Jones cieek, a small stream, and Evans creek imsriuge Is intersected by another, running more parallel with Kvant creek. Between the two, facing the river, is a small, triangular watershed drained by a little creek with the sanguinary name of HlooJy Run. Woody Run fortm VttrA east boundary of the Dry Diggings and lust west of the source of this stream which heads againi-t the Evans creek tributaries, is the point which forms lh culmination of ths Dry Diggings monn tain, a mountain rich in gold, lull of "pockets" and ledges, whose lower slopes form the auriferous placer fields which bave made the Dry Digging famous. The prevailing formation of ihellrt Digging i gnnite, or, more iccuratoly speaking, gneiis, a the feldepar, one ol the element of granite, is lacking from the rock. On the southeastern slope of the lull, on the Bloody Run tide, there is beltol rock commonly called porphyry, out It is more accurately claseifled talcnus slate. This belt ia the "ledge" ol Hie r. A V. mine. llieledveis a huge dike of (alcou late running nearly north and toulh. It is pei haps 4(10 feet in w idth, extend mg Irom the granito on the west to s bell of Iron rock on the east. The con tact between the granite and this gold hearing dike is very sharply defined, so that Ihe strike and tlip of the ledge may be readily observed. Tholengthof the deposit is unknown. The same cluricter ol ore exists on the south side oi Kogue rivor snd teem to continue indefinitely in both directions. The rock it largely of a reddish brown, rusty color, shading into a blue tintie rhroiiiih the rock in every direction run thousands ol talc leanm. iloth the rock iMell and the seams of talc carry the gold. At the lower end ol the claim, the Dry Diggings Mining Co' race has cut the lode to a depth ol perhaps IS feet, showing the even and continuous character of the ore A series of ansays taken in this vicinity gave values averaging about : ,ier ton A shaft is now being sunk aliout 400 feet from this point and bore the returns are larger. At a depth of (our feet, Ihe rock showed a value of $8 80 per Ion, the sample being taken acroas the whole width of the shaft. Al six leet the asay was 18. At ten feet, the rock showed values ol Jll per ton in gold. The shaft is now down about I'd feet and the in tention is to siuk to a deptli ol 50 leet and run crosaculs Irom Ihe bottom of the shafts. Several similar shafts are to he sunk on the property so that its viluo may be thoroughly demonstrated In sinking this shaft a two foot vein ol quarts was discovered and quarts in veins, bunches or seauis occurs fre quently throughout Ihe entire ore body. Tlie poiwihililies of this property are enormous. Let It once be dc moiitdrated that the ore can be profitably milled, and the a-nar values seem more than ulllcient to tender this certain, and there is no end to the magnitude this mine might aniiiine. The accessibility ol the proierty, lying as it does directly on the main wagon road, its favorable position, the vast quantity and even values of tbe ore and the erne and rapid ity with which It might lie worked ire points which impress themselves cm phatically on the minds of all who ex amine the property.

Nancy Johnson, a member of the Turtle clan, Seneca nation of Indians, has lived in three centuries, and daily at the Pan-American exposi tion her blood relatives and fellow pagan worshiper beseech the Great Spirit by dance that her life may be prolonged for many moon to eorne. It ia claimed that she ia now ISO year old, and the fact that in pile of her age tlie ia able to be at the exposition Is a source of great joy to the many Indian who are with the Six Nations' exhibit at the fair, say a recent report. It wn only after months of nego tiation that Capt. Lawton, who bas chargr of this exhibit, was able to induce Mrs. Johnson to go to the fair. She Insisted that her original cabin should be broug-ht to the exposition, and this was done. None hut her blood relative were permitted to tuke It apart, and they marked every log and strip of wood and put it up again so it stands just a it was built nhout 100 years ago.
