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

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

most important project that the club

KNEW IT WAS PLATINUM.
But Until Recently There hfxs
Been no Market.
Kditor Courier
In your last Issue speaking of plati
num in tho minis of this jsirtion of
the country you say :
"For a number of years past
the placer miner of the west
ern Josephine districts have been
finiling a quantity of an unknown
metal In their sluices at clean-up
time. The mutal was mind with the
black snnd and I lie miners being
ignorant of its identity and value throw
it from their sluices. "
For 22 years we have been finding
considerable quantities of platinum in
our annual cleun-ups ami tint without
making uuy sjiociiilj effort to catch it ;
anil all of that time we knew that it
was platinum. 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. They did no tonsider
the matter of sufficient iiiiHirtanee to
report to us what they did with it.
Twenty years ago tho Joe Smith
gulch yielded nice lots o( it, but us
you say, wo threw it away. We
knew what il was, however.

WORKING MINE TAILINGS.
i
Cyaniding Plant In Successful Op-'
eration at Ashland.
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

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 . I . ami om
-ingle block from the end of th.
boom, raises Ihe plallorin load, ,1 with
r.sk so that it will rh ar o! sit net ions,
is swung nri und, and a bandy nt
rangemeiil makes it self dumping.
When tin- 1, ad is at Ihe propi t
height the wati r is t in in d oil', audi,
leu ! strap brake, applied to the largi
gearwheel, and the bucket ir plat
form is lowered at w i 11.
It Is not only a saving if severs

form, the other is being snaked out
and diinis d, und a few minutes suf.

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,
