TH UHSDAY. JULY 10, 1U02.
Tho Oregon Pacific railway will be
a grand benefit to Grants Pas ami in
a greater rlt-frruo to all the southern
part of tlio country and th enterprise
should receive the most hearty en
couragement 'roln I"'Oplo of
both town and county.
President KoOSCVtllt has signed the
Indian war pension bill and pensions
will bo forthcoming to tho veterans
ax soon hh tho necessary details arc
arranged. Tho whole nation and the
West in particular owns a great debt
of gratitude to tin-so men, a to all
pioneers, who hnvn made tlio Pacific
coast habitable and who ogieiied tlie
way for civilization and improve
ment. The recognition of tint ser
vices of tho Indian war veterans lias
been slow enough in coming and is
light enough when it does come, but
is in some degree an acknowledgment
of tlio value of those services.
In ouo column of its latest issuo the
Observer says "Tim Oregon Observer
is the wide awuko rn-r of Josephine
ocunty" and that "tho interest of
Grants Pass Biid Josephine county
will always lie our interest and we
shall never lag in tint matter of ml
vniicing tin-in. " In tint very lien!
column, in an article on "Timber
Ijind Grabbing," It proves the qiinl
ity of its wakefulness by this query,
"As a matter of fact, am there any
mineral lands being taken up a thn
ber tracts?," when it is a well known
fact that mining claims that have
Iscen worked for yeurs liavo recently
been covered by timlicr locations.
Having exhibited its " wiile-awako
nature in this reisct, it goes on to
show tho quality of its regard for the
interests of Josephine county by
ridiculing the idea of there being any
danger to our mineral interests. It
refers offensively to "howlers, kickers
and complaiuers" and its advice is
that tint aimtliy, from which those in
tcrcsted in thn mining future of this
county are awakening, should bo coll
tiiiucd. "The thing to do, " it says.
"is not to kick but to Jump In and
get some of the laud before it is all
gone." In other words, let us all
"jump In" and grab and let the
mineral interests go to the dence.
A deep interest is Isdng taken by
miners and citizens in the necessity
of protecting the mining interests
from tho locators of timber land. In
many Instances in Josephine county.
timber location have been made on
laud that is valuuble for its mineral
resources, and in some instances on
mining claims that have been worked
for veara, In these latter cases, pro
tests have been filed, the owners lieing
watchful, but when timber locations
aru made on mineral land that is pub
lie, who is there to make the neces
sary protest unless the miners and
prosctors make concerted effort and
aru nnceasingly vigilant. The timlicr
laud locators are, for the most part
men who know nothing of mines or
milling. Tin y see no mineral on tin
ground or in it and with a light heart
they can make oath that the ground Ik
not valuable for mineral. Tlicv act
as witnesses for one another. If the
ground were rich in mineral indica
tions it would prnluibly not lie de
tected by them. So, while 'rhaps in
isolated caws timlicr claims may have
Is'en taken for the purKso of securing
the mineral, in most Instance the
location, arc made solely for the tim
1st. Hut whatever the motive, the
result is the same. I -and is located in
inaccessible legions and in the le an
of a mineral Islt, us, for instance, on
(irnyhuck mountain and en Green
mountain, at the head of Grave creek
often in localities when' the timlicr
can not Missibly come to the market
for scores of years, if ever. It is re
liably asserted by ressmsibli men
who have been on the ground that
many of these claim have not timlsr
enough to fence them. Yet when
Jmtcut issues the locator owns the
laud. It has Hissed from public to
private ownership, the pron-ctor i
hampered and mining intcrcM sutler.
The mining industry is far stivriur
in importance in this country to any
other am! its protection is necessary.
Nearly all milling enterprise are in
itialcd by tin- pros).,., tor. tuber
may develop and orutc the mine
hut it is the prosjvetor who di
eovcrs them ami contributes them
to the country's wealth and (he pros
'ctoi 's valuable services should be
rtvogui.cd and hi industry given pro
tection. In this movement there is no
sentiment of ill will against the tim
Unnuii nor against the location of
tunls r claims on tunlsr land. It i
simply to prevent the mineral land
from lieing ahsoilicd by timber loca
tion. ' HtoTKO'liiN OK MINKHAl..
A meeting of busiues men and mi

consider the question of protecting the
mineral interest In view of the great

manifest.

test filed The fact that the miuera
Intcrests of Josephine county are of
Inlinitely greater importance than any
other was kept before tho notice of the
meeting and the need of preserving the
mineral areas from individual owner
ship was mentioned. The sentiment
of thn meeting was in no way iu opl
position to thn location of timber
claims on timls r land but was very
nearly unanimous in the view that

OKKKN MOUNTAIN LEDGE.
Kiggs and Flammiii are developing
their big quartz proposition on Green
Mountain and have a tunnel driven
some 50 feet on the vein. The ledge
at that depth is wider than the tunnel,
so that a cross cnt will have to Is
made to ascertain its dimension. The
Ore proscts well throughout the
ledge and some of it is very rich, free
gold plentifully visible. None of tin
ore has yet been crushed and the oior
ators have a large quantity piled up
on the dump waiting to Is- milled.

The first calf born to a tame elk in

proves that they will, at least whei
they are given some of the freedom
and conditions that thev have ill their

P'lrk have all the reouiremetits for
their comfort except unrestrained lil
erty. The irk consists of '.'it acres o
wooded and grass land along Bear
creek and is an ideal retrial lor elk.
The park is fenced with six Kurds
and three birbcd wires, so that th. ir
is no chalice for the elk to jump cut
Mr. Prall also has a Kind of deer in
his pirk, there now being about fif
teen head. The deer breed readily
and are inert-using iu numbers quite
fast. To add to the attraction of
his rk, Mr. Prall secured two young

For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine so vt luahle as
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is " weak "
there is a failure to properly digest and
assimilate the tood winch is eaten.
Ileiu'e the whole IkhIv, and each organ
ot it, sutlers from lack ot nutrition, so
that as a conseipience of " weak " stom
ach, there may be " weak " lungs, " weak'
heart, "weak" or torpid liver, "weak"
nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
ami nutrition, "i.olilen .Medical Discov
ery" enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the reiniireinents
of a healthy llv." It increases the ac
tivity of the bliHsl-imikiiig glands, and
so increases the supply of blood which
is the vital lluul of the KhIv.
There is no alcohol .in the " Discovery"
and it is entirely tree from opium, co
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people espccUUv those
suffering from disease in its chronic form
are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter

quartz mines and from reports, we
think the Greenback mine is in the
lead. One thing should be taken into
consideration. That mine is deeper
down by several hundred feet than
the other mines that have been men
tioned. The Greenback is rt ceiving a large
consignment of lumlicr and square
timbers for their mine. The owuera
havo taken out a great deal of gold
from that mine. Some of our other
mines have gone short banded in do
ing their develotx'meiit work.
Rogue river lias been conceded to be
a stream that was not nuvigatde lor
a saw log but quite recently Kramer
& Carpenter rafted down Rogue river
from the mouth of Galice creek to the
mouth of Whisky creek, a large
amount cf lumber for their quartz
minis tu Mt. Kiubui. Tiny report a
grand success with no niirlui s. Other
miners tliut lire lccatcd cu the nicnn
tain will ulso raft lumber down in a
short time. .
The Ajax is showing up as well as
the owners can expect. They will
erect u null iu the near luture. unit r
mines are coming to the front.
Most of the supplies, such as lumber,
will come down Rogue river. We
think it would be wise to call on con
gress for an a prcj rintirn to make
our river navigable us so much lumber
and timber will be iicultd in that
vicinity.
The Copper Stain mine owners have
arrived trom Illinois, iney are en
gaged in surveying a wagon road from
Leltiud to Mt. Reuben. A large force
of men will bo needed as soon as the
surveying is done to construct the
road. The road will be built on an
easy grade. We see a corrcsiondciit
from Glendalo says that burg is being
built up rapidly by the Gold Bug
mine. Please wait a little, Mr .Cor
respondent. We will show you sonic
thing. The Copper Stain, as soon us
the wagon road is completed, will
erect a mill. We don't mean a small
mill for their ledge is large and well
developed. The owners have plenty
of money to put up a big plant.
The weather is cool and balmy. Wi
have had light showers from the 1st
to the 4th and the hay got a wetting.
The people of Oregon are in the habit
of cutting their hay and letting it lie
a long time before hauling it in.
Consequently they sometimes lose it.
Back in Canada we were iu tlio habit
of hauling the hay as soon as it was
cured. We found that the most profit
able way of making hay, for lifter hay
has been out in the weather and has
got a good wetting it has lost its
goodness but the Oregon farmers do
not seem to take that into consider
at ion. Crops of all kinds are good
here. The hay crop is very large
and some people are complaining of
not having room to store their hay.
The apple, crop will lie up to the avtr-
ngo. A good many apples dropped oil
when they were the size of marbles.
The pencil crop is good.

Invitations to Social Events Written

The iireparation of invitations to
the four great social events of tlie sea
son at the white house the reception

quires great care uiui the nici.i expert
penmanship. The seveiul thousand
people who receive invitations to eiich
of the four receptions necessarily no
tice tho attractive and beuutiful pen
manship, amounting almost to engrav
ing. This work is done by some of the
most noted penim n in Ihe service of
the Cnited States government, says
the Washington Slar.
The cards of invitation to eacn re
ception iue engraven, aim cuimm.
blanks for the name of the person or
ptrsons invited. These blnnks arc
tilled in by the penmen. During tlu
social season just cioBcd two penmen
were engugi d in writing the names on
the curds, while two others wrote the
addresses on the envelopes eontHrtiinv;
the curds. With all four men writing
beautifully is a prof-ssi and fre
quency those invited to a reception
would 'wonder whether' th r.nnie w as
engraved or written. This work was
done by J. L. Mctirew, a e' rk in the
na'.y ik'pnrlnient; S. K. Sullivi.n. of tJie
pest ollice department; W W. Morti
mer, of the interior department, and
K. I.. Kiiniiiel. of the treasury.
The four men, allied by two stenog
rapher and typewriters, worked un
der the M'.'icrvi.sion of Thomas II.
Nitlierl.ii.il of the white house force,
himself a n ited expi i t in w rlting. For
three or four y.'iirs Mr. Netliei-laml has
hud chai'tre of the invitations t'o these
recrpt'ons, mid his work has been so
sati.-ftu-' r:f v us to receive the hearty
comuu'iitiation of Secretary ('oi'tclyou.
Mr. Nelhirland occasionally does
some of the writing hinself, but his

invitations and supcrc.itcntls the nink

from yenr to year, and Mr. Nether
lar.il kin ivs jut who were invited to
receptions in other years and who
were refusi'd invitations. He is a
kind of walkinir encvclnpntrlla
of the noeia!- unr political stand
ing and the artiliaticny of Wp-h'iigton
and other pel pie. He is so il'sertet
that never n word escapes from his
mouth about his duties and whatever
he has to My is put before bis chief.
Secretary Cortelyou, who is responsi
ble for the way in whMi the work is
done.
The work of writing the invitations
is frequently begun weeks ahead of
th" time fixed. Certain classes of peo
ple are invited to evi ry reception, anil
their in v itat ions can be w ritlt-n and put
aside ready for delivery when others
are made out.
The handwriting exTfcrts are not
usually fast penmen. Swiftness and
beauty of writing ni-e seldom found
together, nrd so the experts take time
in lltl'lM!;-'- the l, tunes of society peo
ple to th - cards and cinch pes. All
of the four men cut aged the las: sea
son were 1;, signed from ot)u-r deport
ments. nti Mr. Nrtlicrlntul is the only
one belonging permanently on the
white lions'.- rolls.
TOO MUCH FOR HIM,
Woman I'saa.-nu.r Who Ewrcled a
Ort Ileal from Conunoa
street Car Conductor,
"This may be a atranire world all
right." remarked a conductor of the
(ieorgetown anil Tenleytown railroad
to n Washington Star reporter re
cently, "but I in. line to the theory
that the old globe ia not ut all un
usual 'tis the folks who move about
its surface that constitute the
strange part of the situation. And
believe me when I assert that we
who personally conduct these street
railway tours come iu contact with
at least V) per cent, of the strange
ones."
"What's the latest?" inquired the
reporter, who has observed a few
queer people on utreet enrs himself.
"The latest was a woman who
should have known better, and who
got otf at Tenleytown on my last
trip out." explained the conductor.
"Here we are iu the midst of a
heavy snowstorm and nobody in ex
istence is able to tell whether this
car will get to the top of the next
hill or slide back to fieorgetowii.
Now what do you think that woman
said to me? licmiiikeil that she was
live minutes late in getting to her
ofhee this morning and deinuuiU'd
that I should tell her if the ears
would be late to-morrow, and if so,
exactly to what extent."
"And yliat did you reply?"
"1 informed her in a tone that
every body in the ear could hear that
if I was the chief of the weather
bureau, or possessed the power to
read the future 1 wouldn't be r.-gis-terini'
fere- an I listening to fool
questions. : he gal.- a suitf that was
almost a sn-ii-t as she got off, for all
