TUUUSDAY. JULY 3, 1U02.
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.

THE "OLD CHANNEL. "
"Cleaning-up" has been in progress
recently at the Old Channel mine at
Calico. 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.

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.

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE.
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

. 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

SCHOOL NOTES.
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. Lincoln Savage,

last week. A good time was reported.
They had good music and good cal

can work with ease. The nights are
cool and invigorating. So lifter one
works all day, one can enjoy himself.
It is not like the eastern slates w here
the sun beams down hot enough to
bnru a person up and the nights are
hot also, so that a jstsoii cannot cool
off' until midnight.
Times are quiet in our town. ' 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.
