We offer as a tuggettloa to oar city
council that it sleet two more members
at the first opportunity. The "no quo
rum" botineat is likely to become
tiresome.
The Leland Herald is among the
latest journalistic Yeutures. It is
printed in Koseburg by the Plain
dealer and the first Issue contained
no mention of Loland outside of the
name of the paper. Miss Mary K.
Brookes, daughter of the editor of the
Rosebarg Plalndealor, and who Is
editor of the Riddlo Review, is an
nounced as the editor of the Leland
paper.
The remarks of "Schnider" on the
flah law in this Issuo are appropriate.
The rumor, backed by statements of
responsible men, is abroad that the
hatchery men are killing the salmon
trout to koep them from eating the
salmon egg. The rumor Is persistent
enough to call for a statement on the
subject from the fish warden and the
hatchery men. The clause of the fish
law which prohibits taking salmon
with a gig is an unpopular measure. No
great number of salmon bare ever been
taken with a gig. The gig is the
weapon of the mau who is not a fl slier
man, bat who wants s Huh or two to
eat. Uig finding is confined to very
short seasons naturally and might
have been let alone by the legislature
with good effect.
The Grants Pass board of trade Is
sending petition! throughout the
conuty for signers to protest against
the creation of the forest reserve, for
which reserve no rational reason can
be conjured up under the sun. It Is
hoped that thoso to whom these peti
tions are sent will interest themselvos
personally in the matter to see that
the petitions are placed before the
cltizous at every opportunity. Be
sides the many ovil general effects of
this creation, which are apjmrent to
all, It must lie remembered thatjthlt
matter vitally affocts the construction
of tho Oregon & Paolflo railway, from
which tliia county hopes so moch.
Tlmbermen, minors aud all classes are
uniting In opposition to the reserve.
Home very prominent miners who at
first looked Uion the reserve without
disapproval havo changed their minds
on farther Investigation and are sign

personal interest to every resident of
this county and every citiann should

Rumors from Washington are again
rife as to the calling of au extra ses
sion of congress early in the fall for
extraordinary legislation. This
shows how imjiorfttut it Is that .Hon.
Bluger Hermann be sent to the new
congress, for the First Representative
District needs a strong mau there who
will obtain recognition and be in
touch with the working majority of
the house. Not ouly will Mr. Her
mann's ability be of great benefit to
the people of the district, lrrowotiTe
of party, but his wide acquaintance
with publio men and his knowledge of
the operations of the machinery of
legislation will be of much advantage
to the First District In securing de
sirable Federal legislation and favors
as woll as appropriations. Not ouly
should bo bo elected but also giveu

Frank King returned Monday from
the wilds of Grave creek country,
where he has been superintending
development work being carried on
by Messrs. Heard, Jones, Strang and
himself on placer mining proixirty
they are interested in there. The
property is located some eight miles
from Leland and Mr. King has been
at the mine ever since last September,
during which timo he has never been
out to civilization. Indeed, be says,
the first railroad train he had seen in
that time, was the one he took pans,
age on to come to Medfnrd. The own
ers of the projxjrty are very noncom
mittal as to the extent or value of the
property, but the satisfied expression
of their fanes when tho matter is
called to their attention leaves the
impression that thing) are not going

COLLIER CRtEK COPPER
New Strike by R-Oseburtf Men on
Lower Illinois.
News has been received of a big
copper strike on Collier creek in the
lower Illinois river country. The
find was made by Frank Reed and
others, of Rosebarg, who have brought
in large specimens of very rich ore.
No assays have yet been made, but
the percentage of copiier is known to
be very high, as native copper, al
most in the pure state, abounds
throughout the specimens, weighing
from 50 to 75 pounds each.
The vein was traced on the surface
a distance of miles aud is of good
thickness. From the Investigations
made it is evident this is perhaps the
largest and most valuable copper de
posit yet discovered in the West out
aide of Montana, aud may prove the
equal of the famous mines of Anacon
da and Butte.
The new discovery is in the Collier
creek country, about 18 miles south
of Rogue river and west of the Illi
nois river, of which Collier creek is
a tributary. It can at present enly be
reached by a trail. Sixteen claims
were located by Mr. Reed aud party,
and it is expected that large develop
ments will soon follow.
Collier creek is one of the larger trib
utaries of the Illinois, coming in from
the south side some distance above
the junction of the Illinois with
Rogue river. It lies in the heart of
the coast mountains and the district
is very rough and ragged. This dis
trict is little prospected bat is known
to bo rich in minerals of different
varieties. "Collier bar" on the Illi
nois, near the mouth of Collier creek,
has obtained some note from its placer
productions. This district may be
reached by trail from Selnia, Swede
Basin or Ualice. From He I ma, the
trail follows down the lliuois river
and tho distance to Collier creek from
that point, is some 35 miles.

of a few people who do not work or
help pay taxes what might be called
shack dwellers people who have no
energy nor ambition, no aim ouly to

Times are good here. I actually
saw a little hoy come into the store of
Virtue & Markin aud buy 10 cents
worth of candy ; also a little girl at
the same time and same place bought
some red ribbon. So, with the ex
pectation of electing Blnger Hermann
as congressman, times will keep get
ting better. Some people say we
want a change. As the country is
prosperous, what do we want a change
for? Some ticople do not know what
they want.
We are having flue growing weather.
The last week has been quite cool,
perhaps some frosts in certain
localities. Vegetation has not made
a very good growth for the last few
days. As the weather is so nice and
warm at present, everything grows
fast. When we read of snow two feet
deep In Montana, stock dying by the
thousands, and in New York and
other eastern states people being
prostrated by the heat then we are
thankful we are in Oregon. The cool
weather has been favorable for grass
and grain which promises a big crop.
We have bad light showers for the
last few days which havo kept every.
thing growing, but a little rain at the
present time would be good.

HENRY JONES IS MISSING
Unexplained Disappearance ot
Evans Creek Stockman.
The sheriff aud other officers of the
county and town have be n trying
without success for the past week to
unravel the mystery of the disappear
ance of Henry Jones, a st'ekman whose
home is near Woodville. Nearly two
weeks ago Jones was in town and in
quired the way to b. Dimick'sfarm
just west of town to look at some
cattle with a view of buying. He is
supposed to have started to go to
Dimick's bnt he never put in an ap
pearance there. Absolutely nothing
has been seen or heard of .him since
that time and how to account for hie
mysterious disappearance is a problem
which remains unsolved at the present
time. There is a strong suspicion
that be met with foul play at the
hands of some one, yet the most dili
gent search .has failed to reveal any
traces of crime. There is a certain old
well around which marks were seen
which were supposed to be foot
prints. This well was cleaned out but
nothing came to light. Mrs. Jones if
utterly at a loss to account for her
husband's disappearance. The idea is
now advanced that he might have
simply, for some reason, quietly left
the country, though no one knows
why, boarded the train and jgone to
some other point, in which case he
will doubtless be beard of in time.
However, he was not in the habit of
remaining away from home without
notifying bis family of bis wherea
bouts and he bad promised his wife
that he would be home on the day fol
lowing that when he was in Gruut
Pas. The case is a very puzzling
oue. Mr. Jones was a large mau ovei
six feet in height aud was about
years old. He as known to have hart
considerable sum of money at th
time of his disappearance.
