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. DON'T FAIL TO TRY THIS.

Marble business warrants my saving manner. or American Granite or any kind cl to 150 entertains everybody everywhere' 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. SOUTHERN .OREOON NORMAL. Tlio Southern Oregon State Normal School is making thorough prostr ations for the coming year's work.

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. -Ex. CAVALRYMEN FROM LUZON.

They will now rest up and rccus-ratn at the northern hbIs for the next year or so Arrangements have been (srfected whereby Medford becomes a distribut ing depot for refrigi rator fruit tars, to all jsiints 011 this division, includ ing Ashland and Grants Pass. Some fifty or more of these cars have already been ordered sent here for distribution the greater number of tliem, however, will bo loaded at this 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 ers of the valley as the cars can be had Uiii short notice at other valley poiuts and our growers here will al ways have a reserve to draw from. These cars will all be Iced here as fast as ordres are placed for them. From one to two tons of ice is required to Ice oue car. MaiL NOTICE. Grants Pass, Ore., July 22, IWrJ. .
