The death of Representative Toiikui ia a tmnfortuuo deeply felt by the poo ulo of OreKCn. He was, and had beer doing a (treat work in congress for his gtato. Mr. Toiiruo's talents were olid and forceful. Ho wan above all a worker and knew how to Ret things dono. OreRon lias never hai u ropre aentutivo that has dono mom effective work than Mr. Tongue. Tim incident of the closing of the postoffleo at Indianola, MIhs., on ac cornt of having HcRro pout mistress lias been magnified und an effort has been made to create disfavor to Roosr vult on account of his refusal to yield to the demands of soma oi the people to apjioint a white postmaster. Tho Impression has been given that it was a new appointment whiln the fact Is that she has occupied the odice sinco 18117 and was indorsed by the better element of the white people. After being a dry town for two years, Ashland has voted to license saloons. This policy was advised by tho retiring mayor in the recommen dations submitted by him to the council. Tho council was evenly di vided, throe of tho council voting for and throe against the license. Mayor Provost east tho deciding vote in its favor, The'town of Ashland is just about as evenly divided on tho ques tion as its council and it is a very difficult matter to enforce prohibition where thoro is so strong nn element In its disfavor. Tho authorities were able to stop tho ojion tralllo but did lint greatly lessen the consumption of liquor. A sjioclal election will bo necessary to elect a representative to congress, to succeed tho late Mr. Tongue. This election will be called by the governor. A new representative being needed, this becomes a new and lmisrtant fen turo in the senatorial fight now con fronting tho legislature, and Willi the congressional nomination in vlow.coiu blnations aro Hissihlo which might Uis.'t the ls'st laid plans of the shrewdest schemer. This la the sec ond vacancy for Oregon caused by death. The first was in 1ST!!, when Joseph G. Wilson died lieforo taking liis seat lu congress. In that caw, James W. Nesmlth, a democrat, was elected to fill the vacancy caused by tho death of a republican. The work which has hoeif taken up and is now being carried on by the Woiuou'i club of this rlty is one of lmjiortuuun and deserving of the sup port of all. Though organised only recently, much has lioon already ac complished and work is planned that Will be of great Is lit to our town and all of its iconic, due or the most important project that the club lias in view is the establishment ami maintenance, of a free reading room and library. They are also planning to have Hooker T. Washington deliver an address In this city In the club they have classified departments, each with its superintendent. Address -s are given on pai rs read on the s ver al topics by able instructors. Their aim and effort Is nil toward nih il, c tual ami social improvement. They are doing a good work and are plan ing greater things for the future. Some ttmo ago it was iinuounccd that a new formula for producing gold had been discovered.

I'ntil recent years there was no market for it. About l-i years ago wo sent about nine ounces of it to Han Francisco, never receiving a cent for it.

Tho cyanide plant established at the plant of Ashland quartz mill damp by Kichuxd liros. Is gan making the tirst run IJec. l.'i. last and a clean op was made last week with results quito satisfactory to the owners. I'ho firm is composed of C Pond und H. J. Kichurds, who have followed the business ofcyaniding in Montana and Nevada for several years. This plant in Ashland is of 15 tons daily capacity and well equipped to do good work. They tbippel it here from Indian Creek, Siskiyou county, w hero they operated all summer on the tailings of the Franklin mill. The Franklin mill ran on rock from the Bonanza and Grizly mini-Hand also milled a good deal of custom rock in tho district. There were no more dry tailings available and the weather was nnsuited over there for further cyaniding os-rations, so Richard lircs. decided to move to Ashland where they had purchased the mill tailings of the Oregon and Montreal Gold Mining Co., who have been operating the Ashland mine. The pile of tail ings is estimated at about 1500 tons and will afford the plant about a five months' run. The first tailings from the Ashland mine which were, re duced by a cyanide plant a few years ago were rich and made some money for the operators. The tailings of re cent years havo not been thought to be espeeilly valuable us ,it was under stood the milling was very close but Richard liros. find good values in gold as far us their investigotions have gone. The best tailings are under stood to bo the product of the milling preceding the era of Ihe Oregon mid Montreal Compny. Clean ups will be made about i very two weeks. The gent lemon are their own otsrators, chemists ami work men, and can make tho enterprise piy if there be any uty to be had from the dump. Valley Hecord. NEW HYDRAULIC DERRICK. G&lice Miner's Contrivance for Moving Boulders. The 1'iicillc Miner of recent date contains the following description of hydraulic derrick invented und ojsr ated by Kd F. Terry, superintendent of the St. Helens & Galice placer at (ialice: One of the most umo.,j b,-iees for handling boulders, .stumps, etc , in placer mines that has come to our notice is the hydraulic derrick, de signed and constructed by Kd F. Ter ry, sus'rinteiident of the St. Helens A- Galice Mining Coiiiuiy, Con. , at Ualice creek, Josephine county. Mr. Terry is an exis'rt as well as a practical hydraulic miner, and having had u great deal of experience will large derricks in eastern quarries operated by steam, submitted plans tl the company for a derrick that would lift two tons by the application of water Jsiwer used in the mine. Several eastern men who have recent ly been at the scene of oiHTtitions, say it is the greatest labor saving contriv ance they ever saw, and that bouldei humping at this mine is a thing of the past. At the company's oHices, in the Mc Kay building, Mr. Cousin, the nun ager, gave the desired information in regard to the mechanism. The s.ver is distinctly semrate from the derrick, and consists of a three foot l'elton wheel, H-itioh drum, u three mid a '.'II inch gearing; the larg. wheel being nn th,. drum ami the small one on the wheel shaft, which works in a clutch anil can be thrown in ami out of gear. The whole is sel in a solid frame about Jii feet, ami king bolt through the bottom enables it to be turned in any direction. Tin derrick proper can be movid anwhen in the mine w ithin a radius of .'nt feet without the necessity of moving the power. A four inch hose engine leads from the mam pipe near the g;ant an I the power and is di-ch irgcd through a 1- inch llole Uinlol a I I:, feet hea 1 tl the wheel. A '...-inch wire raid, leads from the drum to the top of ih, standard of the d.-r; it k und through a pulley working on a swivel whul brings it always in a line with tin siwer. This allows the bottom ti swing under the calde. The cabh runs through one 1 1 . u I .

A PROMISING PROPOSITION Hall M ines on Grave Creek Make Excellent Showiny. The quartz claims in the Grave creek district owned by John and George Hull of GrunU Pass, though little developed, are among the most promising of the Josephine comity projxTties. The property consists of live claims.on which mi option to pur chase for fj.i.non is held by Philadel phia parties. One of the ledges shows width of several feet and gives good values throughout. Some of the rot k obtained is enormously rich. The property lies in tho head of Jordan gulch, which has been placer mined since the early days mid has produced i large amount of gold. Old time placer miners tell of the finding of a luarlz boulder near the head of the gulch which produced $.VH)( from live sacks ol ore. Kll'orts to lind the ledge from which it had apparently broken, were fruitbss This property is in the same district as the famous Green back mine. It is sit Hilled on the east dde of Grave creek, near the Jump. off-Joe divide. Concentrates Mning and Scientific Press.
