VOORHIES, Propr. & Mnqr Entered at the pout ofllce at Grants Pss, Oregon, aa second-clana mail matter. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 35, 1902. The city council at its lnnt meeting jidWM'd an ordinnnco restricting the movements of domestic fowls within oortaiu limits, which includes the business portion of the, town and the area immediately surrounding it, Within tlieso limits the festive, cacklcr must keep within her own bounds and will not bo allowed to roam the streets as heretofore, rr hold her accustomed Jollifications in the flower IhkIs of the next ueiuhbnr. The, Venezuelan complication, (f is believed, is so shaping itself that the Monroe doctrine will receive recnjrtii tion as a part of the law of nations. Both England and Germany arn cou idcring it in all their steps in the matter. There is a feeling quite pre valent in thin country that the Monroe doctrine is a bluff, pnro nnd simple, and would not stand for a moment considered iutcrniitionally. Wlieu, however, thn lmwcrs recognize it of their own accord, It gives the doctrine a standing that is material. J. P. (ialeener and W. M. Hair, nominees for councilman from the First ward in the recent city election, the voto resulting in a tic, cast lots for tho ofllce and Oalecuer won. The way is not yet clear, however for him to assume the nfllcu as there are oh struct ionn still to bo overcome and tho matter requires action by the council. No cortiflcuto of election lias Ix'cn iHHtied to (iulocncr and jniicy doubt the validity of such a document under our charter In a caxo like this, Tho matter is under development and the end is not yet visible. President Roosevelt has been asked to act as arbiter tho in Venezuelan matter, but has not yet accepted. He will probably accept if requested by all tho parties concerned, though with some reluctance. Ho suggested that the matter lie referred to the Hague tribunal, but tho powers re turned a proposition that ho himself act as arbiter. This is a high compli ment to Roosevelt ami may well be carefully noted by many American citizens as it shows how our president is esteemed outside of our owu country and in What degreo his qualities and caiahilities aro esteemed by the world. lu tho Ashland city election last week, the pendulum swung the other way and a defeat for the prohibition lwrty was registered 1). P. Provost, the uoniineo of the Labor )mrty who favored lioeuse was elected mayor. 'llio council stands 3 to a on the saloon question, while the mayor hits thu H)wer to cast the deciding voto. The license for saloons will bo very high ; fsot) or $MHH), Thu election was close, Provost receiving a niajorllj of 4T over Holt, the prohibition caudl date, in a total of 707 votes cast. Hot It lwrties worked hard for their respective tickets, but the license people did tho liveliest work and scored the points. Urcgou has five Indian reservations and for tho most jinrt our Indians have shown a capacity for civilization that is Ivcyond tho average. The In dians of eastern Oregon are Inferior in intelligence to none In thu United states and some of them have uiude remarkably good advancement in civ ilization, (in the Klamuth reserva tion, fur instance, many of the Indians are well to do, with good farms, gocd slock nnd farming machinery of all kinds Many of their men are very intelligent mid caubln. A foolish Indian is a being rarely or never seen. All are the possessors of a fair portion of good solid common sense. On visit ing the reservation, one is struck hy the prevalent air of intelligence and enlightenment, far beyond what is naturally exacted, exhibited by the Indians. The Indian polico are a Hue apiicaring lot of men with a personal ity that command instant rcsjiect. Of all our festivals, t'hristmas is supreme. lu our younger days we esteemed Christmas for what it brought us. Our appreciation of the day uas largely scllUh. Hut with uiatnrcr years, there comes a better rnoalization of what Christmas time means and a better pleasure because of it. At ChriMimt time wo Hud the opiKjrtimity of expressing our re gard to our friends, with KifB ud 1.. cause this Is one of the features of the day, our thoughts aro concentrated for the time on how to give others pleasure anil the unselfish motives which are freed by Christmas time do not cease with the festival but keep working through the year and forever. The pleasure of receiving gifts is sur sM'd by that of giving, Uifts lire, or should be, the expression of love, and regard. The intrinsic value of the gift is a mcoiidary matter. It is the spirit in w hieh the gift is made that is the Important thing. To give gifts from a sense of compulsion or duty is insult to Christmas and to its dominant spirit of love. The sincere regard of the giver must go with' each gift If it would lie a true Christinas gift and worthy of the day's high standard.

V An imHrtuiit mining discovery was made last week near Grants Pars and a new ledge brought to light which from all appearances ought to develop into one of the best properties of southern Oregon. Tho find was mado by Joseph Slmskannd Phil Kob iiisnn and is located in what is known as Owl Hollow, situated on the south side of the river, some six or seven miles above Grants Puss. The finders were pros'Cting on the hill and struck a trace which yielded an astonishing amount of gold to the au. Following this trace the lodge was pulckly found. The extent of the (hid Is not yet ascertained., and even Its width is not definitely known. The ledge is uncovered for a distance of aliont 2D0 feet by a little creek whose ourse runs witli tho ledge for that ilistunco and which has cut the ledge leopcr than tho rock on each side. The pros'Cts secured are amazing ly rich and a pun full of crumbled ijuartz and ledgo matter yields a string of gold several inches long. The ledge is well defined and jHirmaneiit and its richness and extent make It n property of great promise. Tho ex istence of such a ledgo as this has long been susiieetod by tho miners of the locality, owing to tho character of tho gold found in tho placers below Qomfort and Stylo When you try ou a pair of Shoes, look for two things comfort ami style.

Mr. Cousin has done more toward advertising Southern Oregon as a great hydraulic section than any other mail in that favored count rv. He has had a great deal of experience in that jvarticular branch of the Inisi- ss for a young man. ami besides knowing every detail of the cquippiun and operating of a hydraulic plant, is U to represent I. is slate among the vcuhitors of the Kt. The men lie bringing to On gon are w tiling to invest in any enterprise possessing merit, and surely Southern Oregon otters flattering inducements Mr. t'ouslu has given lialice crook more prominence during the tune he is boon operating there than it ever id during the boom, and by his own improvements and that of the companv e represents, has increased the value iaims in that district several hundred per cent. George Waggoner, chief clerk of the surveyor general's ottice, accompanies the jmrty and expects to Income in rested ill and take an active part in 10 development of Southern Oregon sources. This is ail excellent time to show up the hydraulic mines, as huudicds of giant are thundering away night and day on the rich gravel banks, driving to t'e sluice boxes the halves of golden uuggeis which is a surer crop than any man can plmt. The Pacific Miner, i STAR STORE. anil some effort had been made to find it. All previous search, however, seems to have been mado too low on the mountain. Jackson County Mines. H. L. White of Ashland, will have men at work on his quartz projicrtics near Rock creek, this week. Marion Lance, who is working the old I.iincc pincers on the right hand fork of Foots creek, has everything in first class condition for the win ter's rim. He w ill have a crew of four men to assist him. Willis Cramer, the flour mill owm r of Myrtle creek, is working the Tin Pan mine on Galls creek with three men. This property has been more or less "cavoled" but under Mr. rimer s management will lie sys- tcinal ically developed. Considcrahl money has been laken from this prop erly in '.he iast. Klisha Hay, who struck u rich chute on his Walter Gulch pnqierty near (iold Pill three years ago and from which he extracted alxmt flfiOP, has been cleaning out part of the old work and t i mix ring. He lias run into what lie conside rs tho original lend, which had been lost, and from the prospects he has been getting is under the impression that hu litis a true fissure, which he always con tended was there. He is planning to put machinery on the property in the spring but in the meantime will work along by the present methods. - 9- (S that is comfortable it the highest art.

It has n w idth ou the surface of 4'J feet and carries free gold ill fair values. Considerable development work has Im'cii done and includes a 70 foot tunnel and a I.W foot shaft. Work has Wen suspended on the property for the winter on account of snow, but will be resumed with increased vigor in the spring The mine is owned by I laker, Jackson ,V Hamilton, the latter having recently purchased a third in ter! st, THE THOMPSON GROUP Excellent Properly Vnder Devel opment bv Foster & Gunnell Tin1 Thompson group of mines on Coyote en i k recently piircliamd by the New Yolk Western Mines Co., Fos ter Gunnel!, managers, is a property of excellent promise. It is situated ill the same district as the Greenback, Ivmg on the Coyote crock tide of the divide from that famous mine. The vein is tapvd by a tunnel at a depth of ;o fis t and a drift is now W ing run oil the vein The ledge shows HI feet in w idth cf solid ore which gives remarkably good values in assays. The property will ho de volod and cquipvd for profitable operation. From the excellent show ing of the mine at present it is expected to take a place among the large gold producers as soou as it is put Into o erat ion. COUSIN PLACER AT GALICE Shipshape Equipment and Steady Returns- Derrick. Ed Terry, the superintendent ut the St. Helens & Galice hydraulic placers ou Galice creek, the Cousin projierty, was in town Saturday. Mr. Terry has the mines working like clock work and has a far better arrangement ftr profitable working than heretofore. Tho ground where the present opera tions are being conducted is a wide bar, with a gentle slope toward the creek. Tne ground is not deep and tho "pay" is very evenly distributed. Tho geld is coarse, though seldom found iu large pieces, though quite haudsomo nuggets aro sometimes secured. Last season one piece of the value of (18 was found. The gold is of the highest quality, very pure and solid. One very notable feature of the mine's equipment is a hydraulic der rick, a contrivance of Mr. Terry's. It works after the manner of a donkey engine, but runs by water xjwer, famished by a small motor. A host leading from the main pipe near tin giant carries the power to tho motor. This motor swings ou a king bolt, while a drum and cable transmit tin; power to the derrick itself, which may bo moved around as convenience dictates. It is said the machine does tho work of IS men. It is a very in genious, practical and profitable con trivanco and might be used to excel lent advantage in many of the south ern Oregon placers. This mine has a water right of ex ceptional excellence, from tho left hand fork of the Galice creek. This branch of the stream is not so famous for its rich spots hs is the righr. hand fork, but it is thoroughly reliable and yields most gratifying returns when properly handled. WRECK AT TUNNEL 71 Engineer and Fireman have Narrow Escape. An unusually bad wreck occurred on Thursday afternoon at Tunnel 7, a short distance north of Ulendiilo. It was the north bound freight which left Grunts Pass at noon. Vcr- lion Bnrtlett was engineer and Andy McCarthy fireman. Near tho Routh upproach of Tunuel 7 the enirine left tho rails and buuiped along the ties till it butted into the batik ut the end )f tho tunnel, and was shoved far on the embankment by tho following curs:. The euuine and tho two ears immediately following melted into mass of 'wreckage and the fact that both engineer and flremau escaped with their lives, seems miraculous. McCarthy was carried into the midst of the wreck. He received two bad cuts on tho head and was auite severely burned mid scalded, though not seriously. Rurtlett escaped with nothing more than bruises. Passenger train No. 11, due here at 10:.'IOi. m. was delayed 10 hours. Modocs Return Irom Oregon. For two weeks past, two Modoc In. dinns, head men of tho remnant of the tribe, have been at the Klamath Lake Indian reservation in Oregon ou im IHirtnut business. There are but JO members left of the famous tribe of the Murines that once .startled the country by ferocious war in tne lava beds of Modoc county which terminated with the massacre of General Cauby mid party in the 70's, while negotiating iieace and the transferring of the entire tribe to the Indian Territory. There f,,r more than a ouarlcr of n eentnrv the old warrio's and their families have dwelt among strnnirers in u strange land, and their numbers have gradually becu reduced until but 40 aro left. These long to return to California and Southern Oregon and dwell with their former neighbors, the Khunaths, ou their reservation, receive allot. incuts of hind, and dwell once more ill the land of their fathers For two weeks the two Modoc statesmen have pleaded in vain for the concession irom the lxlamaths.
