FOOLED AN ASSAYER.
A mining prospector down n the
Grants Pass country, who knows a
little more than many of his brothers
about the weaknesses and temptations
of mineral assayers in Portland, says
the Telegram, had become dissatisfied
with the reportM made on samples
which he had sent to the city for ex
animation. He had been asked to
send additional samples of his ore uu
til lie was getting weary of the busi
ness. Oue day in a spirit ot levity lie
picked op a broken piece of grind
stone which happened to be lying
around the railroad station. He sent
this sample to the mineral assayer and
called for a report.
The return was not just what he
had reason to anticipate. The assayer
fonud that the sample yielded some
tiling like $27.63 to the ton in gold,
with tracings of silver and other min
erals.
The poor prosix-ctor, after thinking
over the astouudiug report, decided
that the assayer did what had been
done before he had not tested the
sample thoroughly, but passed snap
judgment on it and reported a very
high assay in order to encourage the
prospector. The next thing the pros
pector did was to box np 75 pounds of
the grindstoue and send it to the ;
Bayer, who had to pay the express
charges. Tlie prospector wroto the
assayer a letter, and advised him that
his assay was exceedingly flattering.
and that as it looked so good to him
lie could have any Quantity of the
same kind.
That assayer hns been a bit more
cautions in looking at sample rock
since this occurrence.

CAPITAL LN JOSEPHINE.
A good feature of the southern Ore
Ron mining camps at the present time
is the presence of eastern capitalists,
who are here for the purpose of in
vestigating the mines and for the pur
pose of investigating if they find
tilings to their liking. There are a
number of important'dcals ou foot and
if they are consummated a number of
leading southern Oregon properties
will pass into new hands. Never be
fore in the history of this camp have
there been so many representatives of
capital visiting- the Josephine mines,
as a t present. Those who have the
interest of the district at heart and
who are not infected with an over
supply of "moss" ou the exterior of
their spines, are glad to have the ar
rival of Eastern capital. What has
held the district back in tiio past has
been the lack of enterprising capital
ists. Nearly all thoso who owned
properties here did not have the mon
ey to go ahead and develop thctn.
The mines that did pass into the
hands of able and rightly managed
companies have all succeeded. Not
oue of the 1111 ucs tliat has been sunk
deep down has proved a failure. Ou
lie other hxud the owners of them are
finding it necessary to increase their
plant and equipment continually, as
the amount and value of the ore being
mined justifies a bigger business.
The success of tlio Victor Junior,
which is soon to have a 25-stnmp mill;
of the Eureka, the Gold Bug, Granite
Hill, the Gopher, Ashland and Shorty
Hope, all of which have beeu worked
to deep levels proves conclusively that
the quartz veins of the southern Ore
gon hills are- not all pockets uud
blankets. In fact tlio "pocket and
blanket" of southern Oregon mining
eiimps haH passed into tlio great
beyond.
TO VISIT CKATEK LAKE.
Wednesday evening next, 0110 of the
most notable imrties ever to visit Cra
ter Lake will leave this city under
tlio lunniigemeut of Will O. Steel.
Among others in tlio party will bo the
following: Governor and Mrs. T. T.
Geer, Hon. Thomas IL Tongue, Miss
Cosier and Miss Church, of Salem;
Miss Merriam of Brooklyn, N. Y. ;
W. W. Seyinoro of Tucoina: Henrv L.
Pittock of Portland. Professor Fred
erick Coville, chief botanist of tlio
Department of Agriculture, and family
are now at the lake, and Professor F.
H. Newell, chief hydrographor of the
United States Geological Survey, will
join tlio party at Medford.
Lunch will be scned at Medford
and dinner partaken in camp about 15
miles on the way. Friday evening
camp will be established near Itogue
river Falls, which will bo illuminated.
Saturday evening permanent camp will
bo established at a point overlooking
Crater Lake, and several days sjK'ut in
this romantic region. This region is
full of interesting points, many of
which will bo visited from the perma
nent cam).
A carefully arranged itineary has been
provided, but when the party gets to
so interesting a region, as Crater Lake
it will probably bo torn to pieces.
One night will b sis-iit at Fort
Klamath, two or three days at Peli
can Bay, and one night at Lake of the
Woods. Ashland will Imj reached in
time to take tint northbound train ou
August 20, and Portland will be
reached next morning in time for busi
ness. This will bo the first importuut
party to visit the new National park.
NOT TKACY.
Ijtst week rather a lauuhahlu inci
dent occurred in the Steamboat min
ing district about like this: A Swede
nulling mini went to the residence of
and told the lady of the house that
"if she would get him something to
eat, he would pay her for it." As
the mining man was roughly dressed
and carried a gun, tlio woman mistook
what lie said, for "if she did not get
him something to eat he would kill
her." She soon furnished tlio man
with a good meal, and then took her
child in all haste to the nearest neigh
bor's, rejxirtiug that a man resembl
ing Tracy was ut her homo and
threatened to kill her if she hadn't
given him something to eat. Soon a
Irty of me n with guns was organized
and arriving at the lady's home, found
the miner sitting on tint jsirrh, and
whom most of the men were well ac
quainted with. The alsive explana
tion was sfKin made, and the miner
christened Tracy. Medford Enquirer.
TRACY'S SHOES CAPTUKEI),
The shoes worn by Harry Tracy arc
on exhibition at a prominent business
house in North Yakima, Wash. They
were captured by a pnsso of Deputy
muii-huuicra 011 the Wenaa crwk,
about 22 miles east of that city. Tracy
could not be found. He had stolen all
the valuables from a sheep-herder's
cabin and deiartcd. Wheu wi n by a
boy, he said h was Tracy, and lie was
going to leave the country. H asked
the distance and direction to Koza, ou
the Northern Pacific Kailroad, and
took up the trail for that station.
A rejiort that Tracy was in Yakima
County was circulated about the city
Monday evening. The rumor came
from a man whoapi-ared murli excited
and anxiously inquired for the Sheriff.
He had seen and talked with Tracy.
The bandit had robls d his cabin and
exchanged shoes. With a big gun he
forced Iiis way through the wild sage
brush, and frightened every one witli
whom he came in contact. The man
aaid Tiwy did not attempt to deny
his identity.
An armed pnsu immediately set out
for Koza to apprehend the bandit.
After a long, bard ride they found the
little tin in which Tracy had ex
changed shoes and eaten whatever food
be desired. His trail allowed he had
rone toward the niilrind. bnt be
could not be found. The men returned
very much disgusted, one of the posse
remarking that "the man who led ns
there is oue of the biggest liars in
Yakima county." Bnt the shoes are
on exhibition and attract much atten
tion. THEIR HEADS NEARLY BLOWN
OFF.
Two men, Al Abo! and Jess Ches
hire, nearly had their heads blowu
off at Astoria last Friday afternoon
in au attempt to burn some powder.
Oue of the men had been given about
a pound of powder to throw over
board, but he and his companion de
cided to burn it if possible, it having
been damaged. They spread the pow
der out ou the street and iguited a
fuse that had been attached to it.
As it did not burn immediately they
approached, and while their faces
were over the powder it exploded.
Cheshire had his face, ears and hair
badly burned, while Abel had his
mouth open and inhaled some of the
burning powder. The latter's con
dition is critical and he is not expect
ed to recover from the shock. Abel's
home is in Eugene ami he waa in the
Philippines with the Second Oreogn.
Jess Cheshire was a Grants Pass boy
and while hero had many friends.

DRIED APPLES FOR GERMANY.
Demand of this character should be
very mncli larger than what it is. A
recent consular rebort says Germany
would take more of our apple products
if greater care were exercised by pro
ducers and exporters. "Dried apples
arrive in fair condition, but cvuiKirut
ed apples do not ; nor can they 1h kept
in the market for any length of time
owing to mold and decay. " A leading
German dealer suggests that apples
should bo more thoroughly evaporated,
'sNclal)y when planned for thoexjsirt
trade. He also suggests greater care
in handling and nicking fresh apples.
High prices the Jutst season greatly
restricted the export trade, but in l'.Mll
the total exports of fresh apples from
the United States and Canada were
1,41.1,1107 barrels to all countries, a
small proiKirtion going to Germany.
In the year ended June HO, I'.KII, export
of dried apples of all kinds from the
United Stall's were 2H, Hot), 0211 isninds.

Arrangements have been (srfected
whereby Medford becomes a distribut

fifty or more of these cars have
already been ordered sent here for

point. This first order is only for the
Hartlett pear and peach shipments.
A much greater number of cars will,
of course, be needed later for the ap
ple crop. This arrangement will be
quite a convenience to the fruit grow

"BLOOMER GIRLS" NOT GIRLS.
If tho "Bloomer Girls" try to ar
range for' another game with the
Alerts, it would be well for the latter
to lie cautious, us it has come to light
that the "Bloonierg Girls" of this
year's nine are not bloomer girls at
all, icrlmps they were not last year
either.
Tho following from tlio Halter City
Herald is self-explanatory: By annul
lair of jstsoiis in the ily a severe
shock was felt Ibis morning, tin' cause
not Is-ing an earthquake but the dis
closure made that but three females
imrticijntcd in yesterday's game
against the home tram us Bloomers
and that the reinainiuir six tilavi-rs
were boys. One of the youths left the
aggregation hi re last night and to
townsmen he imparled the news to-
day. He states thai Ihe girls played
in tlie Held, which Accounts for the
apparent laziness displayed us they
were In 110 wise agile, while the sup.
posed girls jsissessed all mai r of
energy. 'Ihe team included but two
girls when Pendleton was reached and
a third was secured there. The
pitcher wlro sailed under the uoin lie
lilunie of "Miss draco Woods" is said
to have been a robust Isiy, as were
tlie first and second bam men. (if
course the catcher, short stop ami
third baseuiaii played in male nltirc
and no doubt as to their sex exists.
A newspa-r mall visited the
Bloomer's private car yesierdv but
was refused ilinittnee, the players im
arting news from the windows.
The hoy who remained here slates
that the reason tin- team did not
practice before the game vus be
cause they were prohihtid from
ss aking on the- field or using tobacco.
It was noticed none of ihe toners
sjs.ke while on tin' field. A few who
miil their "six Its" yesterday are
somewhat "sore" but fe el they wen

THE KLAMATH LAKE RAIL

the Klamath l'i.e Railroad from

progress is Is ing retarded somiwlmt

borers like all other kinds of workers
during this era of prosj-rity are hard

Maine is thoroughly committed to
anti-license. Ohio and Illinois arc,
examples of license states, filled Willi
distilleries, brewers and myriads of
saloons. Maino challenires com
parison of tho prosperity of her com
moil people with that of tho common
HMiple of Ohio and Illinois. In popu
In! inn, indeed, the latter states far
outstrip her.

Thus, though less than one-fifth in
number, the )oplo in .Maine iave
more than half again as much laid up
in the savings banks as the people In
Ohio; anil though little more than
one-sixth In nuinls-r, they far exceed
twice the iieHisits of the js iqile of
Illinois. Or, to put tlie sumo facts in
a di Hi-rent form, were the amounts de
posited inthe savings banks of Illinois
equally divided among all tho people
of the slate each s rsou would receive

savings of Ohio among her people,
each js rson would receive ".1.4-'. But
each inhabitant of tlie state of Maine
would carry away were each to
receive mi equal share of her dejsisits.
Icss than a thirteenth per capita in
Illinois, and less than an eighth in

you will, because, the ois-n salism
dots not invite the workiiigmcn to
spend their wages for drink. Take
one more fai t into consideration, that
while twenty-nine Mates are more
sipulous than Maine, only seven sur

FOR CHILDREN
Nothing, that comes in a
bottle, is more important for
children than Scott's emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
And "important" means that
it keeps them in even health.
Whenever they show the least
disturbance of even balance of
health, it promptly restores
them.
It is to be used as a food,
whenever their usual food does
not quite answer the purpose
of food.
