COL WEIDLER AT GALICE
Portia, nd Marx's Experiences
While Visiting Our Mines.
Colonel Milton W'eidler bits Tetnrtieil
from visit to Grunts Pasa nnd the
proiKTty of the St. Holona Galice
Creek Mining Company, on Galice
deck, or which be is president. Ho
brought a lot of course gold nnd nine
small unlets worth till to iO ench,
the whole lunounting iu value to
about $100, as a sample of the output
of the mine, which sinco the ginut
throwing a Ave inch stream was put in
or:ition some six mouths ago lias
beeu iiniiniu); out well nud is uow a
dividend paying concern with 110
stock on the market.
Colonel Weill lor says be had a very
enjoyable trip, even if be did come
near having bis sound leg broken
while driving up the rocky channel
of Gnlioc Creek, and is bruised black
and blue nil over, and was never so
sore since be wa boru.
lie is enthusiastic over what, lie saw
and says no one can realize the, mag
nitude of tho mining industries and
the vast treasures hiddeu iu the) hills
of Josephine County uutil they see
the heavy streams of water being pro
jected against the banks and the nug
gets of gold being taken out.
Ho was accompanied ou the trip by
)i. Cousin, of this city, tin expert
hydraulic miner Tho party loft the
Southern Pacific Kailroad nt Merlin
and went by stage over n most pictur
esque niouiitiiiii road down Hogue
river n distance of t:l miles to the
mouth of Galice creek, where a stop was
made to view the oxteusivo develop
ment work of tho tialico Hydraulic
Mining Co. This enterprise is being
backed by Portland people, nnd from
all reports und tu'tuil showings here
tofore made will be a good paying in
vestment. The creek is said to con
tain hundreds of thousands of dollars'
worth of coarse gold, and the entire
canyon will be worked out through
0110 big lliimo eight feel ill diameter
placed on the very bed of the creek.
Preparations are being made to saw
out about .",00,000 feet of lumber on
the ground, 11 largo ditch to provide
hydraulic pressure is being dug
irouud the mountain side, reservoirs
are being built and it ia intended by
those in charge of titrations to have
everything iu readiness for active
milling by fall. On the tipper part of
the creek there are several giants
driving into the sluices largo quanti
ties of rich ground every day, and the
eh an-ups this season have been so
gratifying that the entiro equipment
will be enlarged for next season and
hundreds of acres of goldbearing gravel
will furnish material for irtatiy years
of constant work. Colonel Woidler was
much impressed with the power of the
streams thrown by the giants which
washes down the banks and throws
about lingo bowlders us if playing on
1 sand pile, nnd even more so with
the performances of the. water power
derricks devised l"- Superintendent
Terry. Tle se are operated by a
stnam tapH-d from the main line
pipe, so arranged as to turn a w heel to
which a wire cable is uttached, which
pulls boulders weighing a ton or more
out of the way as if they were
feathers.
The trip so far bad proved so very
enjoyable to Colonel Weidler that he
leeided to take a horseback ride up
the mountain. Ilirectly up the
mountain above the property of St.
Helens Galice Creek Mining Com
pany is the old Ankeny Mine, now
idle, owing to lack of water. This
property was titled up by Captain A.
Ankeny, a progressive pioneer citi
zen of Portland some III) years ago, at
great cxh use, all the machinery hav
ing bei n packed in 011 nj 11 li s from
Itosebiii'g. An extension of this high
mine Is now being worked by the Old
Channel Mining Company, which is
turning out about f id.ono per season.
the trail to this mine has been
somewhat overgrown since the
inncbinery was packed in on mules,
iml Colonel Wi-idler found the limbs
f trees much in bis way. Owing to
the high pommel and high eantlc of
bis military raddle and his corporosity,
be could neither bend forward nor
backward to avoid being scraped ofT.
He was fain to just roll olT down the
side of the horse to lave his life, but
ifier all he bad gone through on the
trip this was a mere trifle. Prom
what be saw iu the way of gold dust I
and nugget.- and from all the rcxrli
of tic mining am business men he met,
Colonel Weidler has concluded that
Oh lire I'mI. will take the had of
milling districts as the prinriinl gold
producer of Oregon. Great interest
is being taken in hydraulic mining in
that section, and Grants Pass is alive
w ith imm rs and investors. Oregon-

A BIG STRIKE ON CHETCO.
Prospectors Tra.ck Run&we.y
Mule aind Find Bonanza.
A big quartz strike was mado on
the headwaters of the Cbeteo river,
by two prospectors, John B. Gritllu,
formerly of Jackson county, and I5en
Miller of . Chetoo. The Checto is a
short river which heads just across
the coast divfde from Josephine creek.
There are somo very valuable placers
on tho upper Clietco, which yias at
tained some note as a mining dis
trict. Tho recent find was made ou
"Baby Foot," a creek tributary to
the Chetoo.
Gritllu and Miller were ou a pros
pecting trip Somo time previously,
Gritllu had located a "trace" iu the
Baby Foot country ami their expedi
tion was for tho purposo of returning
to this trace and running it down.
One night, In tho courso of their
journey up the creek, cue of their
iack animals a mule, strayed away
from camp and was not to be fouud
when the time came for packing up.
After somo search, the tracks of the
absconding animal were found .and
both meu started on the mule's trail
to'recapturo him and bring him hack
to camp Tho track led them across
tho crock and up tho hill on the other
side, passing near large bluff to w hich,
as experienced prospectors, their at
tention w as drawu by the character of
tho formation. After making uu ex
amination of tho bin IT, it was agreed
that Miller should remain there and
prospect tho ground while Orilliu con
tinued to follow the mule. Grillin
followed the mule's trail nearly to
the top of tho mountain, but was
unable to overtake tho ,'aulmal and
finally gavo up tho pursuit nnd re
turned to where he had left Miller.
The latter in panning the dirt about
the bluff, had succeeded in striking a
trace of very encouraging apiK'aranoe.
As it was somewhat late and rain
was falling heavily, both men re
turned to rami), but returned early
tho next morning and began to pan ou
tho trace which was soou run down
by Griffin, who is an expert pocket
hunter. They first discovered a large
quurta rock which had broken off the
ledge, and had slid dowu the bill for
some little distance. Tho rock con
tained probably a ton and a half of
quartz and , to use a miner's expres
sion, it was "lousy" with particle of
the precious -metal gleaming all
through it. Pursuing the explora
tion, the prosiiectorB located the ledge
itself about 25 feet further up thcjbill.
The ledge Is said to bo about SO feet
iu width and is rich beyond concep
tion. The fortunate discoverers .did
little more than to prosic t it to some
extent at the time,; but returned to
Ki rby for a supply of provisions and
tools. They will begin Immediately
to iiH'ii it up and determine its extent
and value. Both men urn practical
miners and are not exhibiting any ex
citenieut over their find, though they
have causa for believing that they
have one of the biggest things iu
Southern Oregon. They havo named
their mine the "Lost Mule" iu honor
of the wandering quadruped whose
wayward steps guided them to tho
place and initiated the discovery.
They prohanly considered themselves
iu bard luck when they lost their
mule, but tile misfortune proved their
eliiefest blessing mid the animal was
worth infinitely more to them lost
than if be bad rd, untitled l'l camp.
Births Musi Bo Recorded.
It is necessary now to make ollicial
record of every birth and every death.
; A new laur that Is already iu effect,
requires every pbysielat Idwifo or
head of tho family to give notice by
till) end of the mouth to the county
health oflices of any birth that occurs
under bis or her charge. Kvery
physician, midwifo or bo id of a
family must give notice to such health
ollieer within 4S hours of every death.
No burial can take place until a prop
er burial certifli-iate has been made
out and transmitted to the county
health ofllccr.
All these requirements urn the
result of the act creating the stale
hoard of health, which passed the
last legislature. It contained nil
emergency clause, and took effect 011
its approval by tin) governor. It
create a comity, as well as a state
health board. The county board is
the county judge and county physi
cian. If them Is no county physician,
as is the case in I'.entoli, then the
county judge is the county board of
health as well as the county health
officer.
To this oflicer must Is- rcporte 1 all
infectious diseases, deaths, causes
thereof, places of burial of every s-r
ion that dies iu said county, nnd in
the case of birth of any child give
name of parents, their resilience and
their occujiatiou.
Power is given the county hoard
of health to quarantine against infec
tious diseases in other county or
counties of the state, U quarant Inn
any case or cases of infectious dis
eases within said county, anil to call
upon all jsjliie olllcers, sheriffs and
constables to enforce such quarantine.
AH case of birth, death, burial and
iufwtious diseases are rcjxirtcil ly the
county health of! let r to the secretury
of the state board of health where a
complete record is kept.
Tim new law will add materially to
tl.e duties of the county judge, all
physicians and others. The nally
for violation of the law- is a fine of
not less than (10 our more than fJIUO.
The full text of the new law ran lie

ROLLED INTO COW CREEK
Passenger Equine Pel forms Slunt
Ne&r West Fork.
A serious and sensational railroad
accident occurred ou Friday evcuiug
near West Fork, in the Cow creek
cauyon. Tho first section of passenger
traiu No. ltt, which passed through
hero at six o'clock tho same evening;,
composed of the baggage, mail and
express cars, Pullmau and tourist
sleepers, was running at a normal rate
of speed when suddenly tho engine left
the track, turued completely over and
rolled into Cow creek, somo 40 feet
below. The mail car ran into the
baukou the side opposite the creek and
saved tho other cars from following
the engine. The three cars immedi
ately following the engine were de
railed but were not overturned. En
gineer Ed. Gray and Fireman A.
Struder.weiit dowu with the engine.
They escaped with their lives, though
both were severely ,'nj tired. Mr.
Gray's back was hurt and the fireninu
had several ribs broken.
Tho injured engineer aud fireman
were taken to Portland where they ar
rived at the same 1 1 1110 with the pas
sengers 011 their train. The Portland
papers report that after Gray and Stra
dcr wero tnkou to the Good Samaritan
Hospital, both were fouud to bo sori
ously injured, internally. A passenger
ou board the wrecked train paid the
following compliment to John Butter
worth, iu a description of tho wrock :
"Tho 8ieeial heroes of tho occasion
were John Butterworth, the mail
clerk, and his assistant, J. 0. Brown.
They broke out of their car window,
in the darkness, aud aided by three
commercial men they lowered bell
cords, taken from curs, into the
canyon, whero the two injured men
lay. It was a hard struggle to gut
Gray and Strader to the surface, but
wo finally succeeded iu placing thom
on board a tourist car. Tho first thing
engineer Gruy said was: "Dave you
signaled the next section?" That was
to prevent the next section of our
traiu from crashing into ours. A man
was sent abend to flag tho train, aud
it soon afterward pulled up. Dr.
Charles Hens Harry, of Stockton, Cal.,
and Dr. Jessie B. Conway were on the
train, and skillfully cured for the iu
j tired. ' '

THE EDISON DRY WASHER
New Contrivance for Mining In
Wswterless Countries.
A dispatch from New York says:
Thomas A. Edison lias a scheme for
extracting the untold billions of
dollars' worth of gold that lie in the
Immense low grade gravel and quarts
bods in Lower California, New Mexi
co, Arlaona and Northern Mexico.
They cannot now be worked, because
there is no water for bydraullo min
ing, aud the gold runs in too small a
quantity to the ton to make mining it
profitable under other sys terns. An air
blast is employed by Mr. Edison In
is solution of the problem to separate
the gold from the mass.
The system, it is claimed, lias now
leached a working basis. Expert
roeuta ou the desert near Santa Fa by
Fiord M. Chapman, one of Mr. Edi
son's assistants, have enabled Mr.
Chapman to procure, a machine wblcb
they declare will claim 90 per cent of
the gold from the gravoL In hydrau
lic mining it was thought remarkable
if TA wr cent of tho gold was washed
out.
Oue man, it is claimed, can run
scores of separators. The gravel is
first dug out of the ground with a
steam shovel ; conveyors then carry it
to sieves that separate it into particles
of uniform site. Each separator is
designed to handle gravel of a certain
size, aud tho gravel ia automatically
distributed to the hopper of its proper
machine. The gravel falls through
a narrow slit beforo a rotary blower,
which drives full blast of air
agaiuest tin) falling gravel The
gold , being hoalver, falls to the bot
tom of the machine but all of the
lighter gravel and sand is blown into
scjittratii couiiwrtiuent.
HILL CLIMBING BICYCLE
New Chansesible Gear Machine
x Cree.1 Improvement.
W. A. Paddock, the bicycle man,
secured last week, two bicycles of the
"Hill Climber" pattern with change
able gear. Carl Gentner la riding one
of them and the other was purchased
by Ed. Terry of Galioe who apire
elated the advantages the wheel gives
him 011 the steep hills with which the
Gal lee road abounds. The wheel has
a changeable gear, and in these
wheels there were throe gears, 8n, 61,
and if!. The gear may be changed
from one to the other while riding.
One gear may be used on level ground
and as a hill is approached the wheel
muy be chauged to a lower gear for
use ou the up grade. When fitted
with coaster brake, this machine
makes cycling in mountaluoua dis
tricts Infinitely easier aud more pleas,
ant than it has yet been.
Moon A Co. have commenced the
erection of their building for the new
grist mill and have the frame work
well under way. The building will
be quite a lofty structure aud will be
some M) feet in height, containing
four floors. The owners are not rush
ing its construction, as there is no ob
ject in having it completed before the
new wheat crop is harvested, but by
that time it will be ready for work.
The mill will be the best In the state
south of Eugene iu point of equip
ment The machinery will be of the
newest aud up-to-date pattern and the
mill be will be first class in all of Its
appointments.
