" Kegulat ions are m ule for the trans Hrt:itiou of bodies dead of diptlieria, scarlet fever or other highly infectious or contagious diseases; also for the shipment of dead bodies in general. These regulations must be observed ill thp shipment of bodies from other states for burial in Oregon. Careful regulations aro made for tho disinter ment of bodies. Rule 14 reads: "No person suffer ing from diptlieria, membranous croup, scarlet fever, sniallpos.nicn.slcs, whooping cough, bubonic plague, lep rosy or other dangerous communicable diseaso shall lie admitted into any riublio, parochial or private school or Sunday school, or shall enter any assemblage or railway car vessel or steamer, or other public conveyance.

Probably no mining country in the Northwest is commanding more at tention at the present .time than the Blue Ledge district juijt south of the Oregon-California boundary lino, says the Oregonian. Tliu Clark ramp, where most of the development work is being done, is readied bv a somewhat arduous trip The main line of the Southern l'a- citlo is left at Medford, Or., and the branch line followed live miles to its terminus at Jacksonville, where a 30 mile stage ride is added to the trip Van K. PcLnslnnntt came in from tho new district Thursday night and gives a very encouraging report of the camp's future prosisvts. Tho proper ty that is attracting the most at tention is a group of 14 claims known as tho Uluo Ledge mine, and bonded for fr0,000 by "Patsy" Clark and Major Kingbsbury, of Spokuue, two of the best known mining promoters in the Northwest. Placer mining has been done throughout the Uluo Ledge district for tho past 45 years, but quartz mining Was an entirely new feature up to a few months ago. The property is owned by William Hamil ton, William F. Malone, George M, Keller, M. Wenger, 15. C. Adams, Samuel H. MeVey aud L. F. Cooper, all of Del Norte County, Cul. These men partially developed the proicrty last fall in search of gold,' but strik ing base ore ill their tunnel, decided the property to be valueless. Sevetul other old miners were interested in tho 'property up to that time nud forfeited their interests for paltry sums. Heddy oi Iteisel, Spokane brokers, got possession of the jirojurly and through tliem it was bonded to Clark and Kingsbury lor $'..VO,000, of which flO.OOO was paid in cash. Another payment of (.",0,000 is to bo made on October 1, and the balance ou October 1, 1004. Three mouths' work has dovelocd the prospect into a mine that is al ready upon a paying basis. Tho llrsl work dono was a l."i0 foot tunnel, run on the ledge, the last 100 feet of whic h was in paying ore. The tunnel was extended fiO feet and the ledge crossed 50 feet, the entire crosscut being In solid ore. Work is now being confined to drilling with diamond drills, and while the results are kept secret, as nearly us can bo nscertaiut d, the ore is averaging 5 per cent coppor, 5 in gold and some silver. A smeller will be built in the mar future nud the work of, blocking out the ore will commence. James 1'. Harvey is superintendent of lio mine; David O'Neill, foreman, and Hilly Olcury has charge of ttbo pac k train ojicrutcd between Clark and Jackson ville. Many other promising prcqicrtlcs are being develoH'd, among them a claim bought by Charles Sweeney a short time ago for if-MKIO. Pi le Lar son, the well known Montana mining promoter nml millionaire, is also di velopiug a claim. Forest & Wake field, of Spokane, have seveinl men driving u tunnel on one of their properties. H. K. N'eill, Finch Campbell's mining expert, was look ing over the camp a short time ago ami it is believed that he has secured options on several priqicrtics. Van 1!. DeLashmutt has an interc si in a group of five claims within a f c w hundred feet of the jlUue Ledge mine. The camp is full of old miners who regard it as a most promising ilisiric t. Among the miners ill the camp are William Painter, locator or the American K'uglc, at Dixie, Idaho; Joe Morris, locator of the War Kngle, Li Hoi unci Center Slur mines ; Olney Jeldiiess, Henry Callahan, L. Hoy Slater, the Spokane broker; Iteilcly ,V 1'iiesel, of Spokane; Jack Fitzgerald, Kiiimet Thompson, Mike Sweeney and "Cosegardy" Jones, I he locator of the ilieci mine, in the Slocan country. A town site has been laid ont. and named Clark, utter " Palsy " Clark. The settlement is near the Joe Par, which is at the three forks of Llliott, .lis' and Apple gate creeks THE MODOCSWILL RETURN No 1'Ir.co Except Oregon Vii Satisfy the Indians.

DESTRUCTION OF TIMBER Germexn Sight Seers Are As tounded e.t the We.ste That which most impressed the German agriculturists, who recently visited Oregon, was the extravagant use aud wanton waste of the superb forests of the country. In Germany tho forest wealth is guarded as wo guard valuable stocks of merchandise. Trees are cut uuder strict regula tions, and great euro is taken to culti vate new growth. No wonder that one of tho German party, after noting our wasteful methods, declared that a day was coming when Germans would sell timlier to the United States. Our wanton wasto of this forest wealth is the result of pioneer conditions. The early settler regarded tho forests as an eiicumberaiice, to bo removed by ony agency bo could command. He wanted pasturage for his rattle and a clear spot for his garden, nud so he set bis jaw anil went at the forest mnunrchs with ax and lire. Noble cedars, majestic firs and stately pines all were in bis way and in the long struggle to lour a place in the wilderness he learned to bate them, and ho laughed to scorn tho sentiment which rried out when be girdled and burned them. As with tho farmers ill western Washington and Oregon, so with the prospectors iu 'the wooded areas of the Inland 1'. in pi re. flic forests interfered with their search for mineral ledges, mid they learned to regard it a duty to "lire" as imieh mountain side as possible. The sub ject of forest preservation is of grow ing importance. More and mora it will engage the attention of tho stato and national governments, tho rail roads, the owners of large timlier tracts, mid tho individual homo builder. A start has been nmdu iu the right direction, although just only a feeble effort. --Telegram ANOTHER DISSAPPEARANCE Koscburg Man Is Numbered Among the Missing. It is feared that Ilarmou Snider, a well known pioneer character of Hoseburg, is lost ill the mountains near Perdue. About (I days ago Snider, in company willi Edmund P. Hiigshaw, a timber locator, left Rose burg for tho hitter's homestead, six miles south of Perdue, where they intended to build a cabin and other wise improve the property. Thurs day Thomas Cannon received a letter from llagslinw asking if Snider had arrived home anil slating that he bud left there June 10. He further stated that if he had not arrived yet lie was probably lost on the trail between the homestead and Perdue. Word received from Perdue states that Snider lias not been seen there. Snider is a man about 53 years old and is addicted to drink. Ho bits lived in Hoseburg for the past ill years and is well known. Heforu going to tho mountains he was employed as porter in the Senate saloon. Ho has a divorced wife and a daughter living in Portland and a son iu California.
