The coronation ccremonieH of King Edward havo again been pomponed until September. TIib King ia report ed as makiiiK a rapid recovery from liia aerious iIIiickh, tliongli tho extent to which the reportH are colored in, of courae, not aHcertalnablo by the general public. Tracy and MerrillpurHuo their on ward way, little inijcdcd by the nnin crnni noflKcH which beset them on all aide, They are aeeu alinoat daily and when they want provision they come boldly ont and take tliem. The blood lioundH have proven failures and were discarded. It deems more and more certain each day that the gal lowa will never get tta own. Tliey may he shot at long rango by some bounty hunter, but otherwise they seem to be quite aafn. Another warlike fareo ia rcjiorted from the aenato. Thia time it was Baily of Tenia who assaulted Ilever idgii of Indiana. Ilailcy took exception to remark made by lieveridgo in the Semite and after adjournment attempt ed to forco a withdrawal from IJev eridgu. On tho refusal of the lat ter, Hailey seized him by the throat but 'was caught and Hnpprsed by Ilanshrongh and Hjiooiier, though he succeeded in earring 'away a Hirtion of Hevoridgo'a neckwear. It took a good deal of moral suasion to bring Hailey back to mental balance, while Huveridgo was cool and tuiexri ted throughout. Fighting aeiiatirs should bo made to realize what a silly figure they cut before tho American public and how completely they dis grace themselves by such intcinerate and rolliunly performances. The great number of timber claims now being taken in southern Oregon lias brought to tho front a new and serious iirohlvm in the conflict of the mineral with tho timber interests. Much of the land recently taken as tim ber land la known to be valuable mineral land and tho miners all over the country aro becoming alarmed for their interests. The situation threatens a very serious curtailment of the opportunities and privileges of miners and prosectors and contains a menace to the mining future of the country. The question is a serious one and a dilllcnlt one to handle us it is desired that the tlmlicrinoii should have all the rights w hich belong to them yet it seems necessary that some way must lie devised whereby they can lie prevented from trespass ing on the mining interests. In this country, the mining industry is of far greater imiHirtance than any other and must 1st protected at all hazards. The miners are now impairing to make concerted effort for tho protec tion of their interests and as the pros perity of all lines of business is great ly deH'iidetit on the milling industry, the interest in the case should not be coiillned to the miners.

This is one of tho very big gest hydraulic projKisitions in the state and all its features are gigantic. It has a good water sup ply from two creeks, a pressure of M) feet and a mountain side for a dump. The bank is nlxiut 100 feet in height and car ries gold from top to bottom. The mine lias been worked on a larger scale during the season just jnist than ever before. Tho mine has produced this year a good deal of coarse gold. Some of it is rough, but tin: larger portion is smooth channel gold. The mine is situated on a huge and ancient river channel hundreds of feet bIkivc the present bed of itoguo river. Alex.

Mathews, well known miners of Grants Pass, who will begin work on the property immediately after the Fourth. This mine has produced a great d' al of ore of marvelous rich ness. Thus far the richer ore has been found in "bunches" of greater or less extent and the encouraging apsaniiico of the iros rty has in creased with the depth attained. The owners have never failed to un cover one or more of these rich de sisits whenever they have sjK-iit any time working on the presort. The vein lies in a great dike w hich is highly mineralized. At the surface the vein of quartz was about 14 inches ill width mid parallel with it ran vein of jsirphyry three feet wide At a depth of 20 feet this isirphyry was more than half quartz with indi cations that it would all combine at a greater depth into one large and per miinent ore body.

A Porphyry Vein of Marvelous Rich ness Recently Discovered on Pickett Creek. Pickett creek is the scene of the latest sensational gold discovery. Pickett creek is a tributary of Rogue .i i. river, coming in irom me nuum , the first stream of importance below the month of Applegatc. Pickett creek has long been, known as a gold bearing stream and placer mines along its course have been worked for years. Several importauf quartz discoveries liave been made in this district among them a big ledge of copper but the recent find is the first discovery of its nature, that of sensationally rich gold ore, to be made in the district. The bonanza belongs to Bradbury & Collins and was found by Collins, a prosector of many years experience. Collins was staked by Bradbury to pross-ct and put in three months steady work with scarcely any en couragement. When he did make a strike it was a big one. The gold is in a vein of porphyry about three feet in width, lying on a contact, between slate and serpentine. The vein can lie traced on the sur face for several hundred feet. The owners are sinking on an ore "chim ney" in the vein and have now reach ed a depth of 20 feet. The "chimney" is split into four parts, with w ains between and in these seams are large pieces of pure gold, so that the owners have, with their jKxket knives, pried otf pieces of solid gold weighing an ounce or more. Fine gold is abund ant all tlirough the porphyry and a sample assay of this rock gave values of 1W)8 to the ton. As high as 1!K) to the join has been secured in sinking on the present depth. The vein pros liects evenly across its whole width. At the deptli attained, the jsirphyiy seems to be "coming in" to blue quartz and tho vein bears a very ht maiieiit aplicaraiice. If the find fulfils its present indications it will make one of the best mines ill southern Oregon. OLENDALE IS BOOMING. It is evident that the little town of (Jleudale, Douglas county, is "on the boom" this summer. Many immi grants from the east as well as enplc from the neighboring towns are com ing to Glenilale. It is asserted by the business men of the place that then.' will bo 20 or ilO new dwellings erect il in that vicinity this season. The causes for tho growth are easy to be seen. Tho timber ill that pari of the country is practically untouch ed as yet, and this fact is attracting many to tho place. There are also many fine chances to obtain home steads. Since the earliest time of the gold excitements in southern Oregon the Cow creek district has been a para dise for prosectors but there has probably never been more in the country than are at work this sum mer. (Herniate is the headquarters for all these. By the first of September it is ex poctcd that a large box factory will Is in oM rittiou near Cileudale, and a large mill is at work now getting out luinlxr for it. The luinlier will be sent down to the factory in a large Hume w hich is at present nearly com pleted. This factory will Is1 an im portant addition to the resources of (ilendale for it will give periiiaueut employment to many men. . The only road to the Mt. Heiils n mines is the Mt. Reuben Toll Itond out from (ilendale. It is owned by the cnmiiany who also own the Gold Bug mine. They havo at present a large force of men at work on the road putting it ill the liest condition. They intend to put in considerable new machinery at tho Gold Bug and so will need tho road in good shape. The machinery w ill consist of a num ber of stams for the mill, an air-com pressor, machine drills, etc. Taken all around this will be an unusually prosperous year for the Js-o-ple of (ilendale. The business men are wide-awake and alive to their opi minifies. The town is incorirate(l ami lias at present ail excellent corjis of otli eers.

I have visited and thoroughly in spected the schools of tiie county and I am pleased to rcixjit as follows: 1st. All have made very good pro gress in the new text book s, and all have made quite satisfactory classifi cation and gradation according to the State course of study. 2nd. In four schools the order was not up to my ideal for good school work. HrH The average attendance was far better than last year. 4th. I did not visit the schools ill .li.trw-tii Xn. : and No. 41 for the reason that while I was in that part of the county there was no school be ing taught in either district. I timed aiisitto the school in district No. 40 but the teacher, with the directors' consent, took the law in her own hands and taught several Saturdays and when the date for my visit came the school had closed. All the applicants from the Grants Puss school who took the eighth grade examination in Juno succeeded in raising their gradings to the required percentage for graduation. Reports of school district clerks are now due. S; far, $) distr icts have reisirted, several of which were incor rect and were returned for com ft ion. All districts, whose clerks' retmrts are not accepted and filed in my oflice on the 10th day of July, w ill be count ed as not rciHrting and they will lose their apportionments for the ensuing year.

' The farmers are busy making hay. When the farmers don't come to town we see a big change in onr trade but as soon as haying and harvesting are over then times will be lively again. We see "Grave Creek Scribbling" is picking up. That's good, young fellow, keep on writing and improve. After a while you will be entitled to a medal.
