A SILVER CREEK PLACER
NfW Mine to Be Fitted With Hy-
drevulio Equipment.
Carr & Terry, the Gal ice miners.
have purchased the Bradford placer
property on Silver crock and will pro
ceed to develop it aud fit it with hy
draulic equipment. This ground oc
cupies a position that makes it
peculiarly favorable for a hydraulic
enterprise. It is situated on a bench
about ISO feet about the crook bed, the
sheer walla of the creek bank offering
an opportunity for a dump that is
unlimited and everlasting. Todd
creek, one of the larger tributaries of
Silver creek, furnishes a water right
of unusual excellence aud the steep
ness of its course makes plenty of
pressure available wi h a ditch of
only moderate length. The ground
ban been worked to some extent by
baud and prospects well, yielding
good values, though the boulders are
too uanierous aud heavy for operation
without hydraulio equipment One
of the favorublo charcterlstici of this
ground is that it iB the first bar below
the falls and the canyon,. Above the
fulls, the creek has proven rich and
the position of this ground justifies
the assumption that a largo quantity
of gold most have collected there as
the gravel was swept down the course
of tiie stream.
The gold of Silver creek Is very
pure and of exceptionally good quuli
ty and nnggets of largo size are fre
quently found on this stream.
WATCHES GROW ON TREES
Strange Fruit Borne by Cherry
Tree e.t Placer.
One day last week George Howard,
the young son of Mrs. L. N. Browning
of Placer, climbed up into the top of
0110 of the cherry trees on the Brown
ing place for the purposo of picking
the fruit. Besides the ninny luscious
cherries with which the tree was
loaded, he found a strange sort of
fruit hanging on the tree, which filled
him with surprise, and delight. At a
distance of some 20 feet from the
ground, he found a silver watch ap
parently growing on the tree, sus
pended by a bockskiu string in place
of a stem. Goorgu was naturally
elated over his find, for it is not on
every bush that a boy may find a
watch growing.
The explanation of the marvel came
later. On the Fourth of July, T. T.
Hill of Placer went to the Browning
place to get a gallon of cherries and
picked them himself, climbing into
the tree to do so. After some time
bo missed his watch and as ho could
think of uo way in which he conld
have lost ic and the time pieco conld
not be found, he concluded that some
one had stolen it. Presumably, dur
ing his sojourn aloft, tho string at
tached to tho watch had been caught
by a limb and the watch pulled from
his pocket and susiended in the tree.
One of the remarkable and fortunate
features of tho incident is that the
watch rcmaiued hanging in the tree
and was not dashed to the ground, in
which case it might have been ruined.
COPPER OF SLATE CREEK
Ingram-Kstmaey Mine I Making
Flrat Rate Showing.
Ingram & Ramsey are continuing
the development work 011 their copi-r
irosect in the Slate creek country.
Til is Is 0110 of the most favorable
apis'uring prosjscts in Southern Ore
gou, both in extent and excellence of
the ore. The assays give values from
2' to 17 per cent copper while much
of tho rock is of the higher grade,
The greatest depth at which the ore
has been tupjicd is 60 feet. The prop
erty is situated mainly on Butcher
Knife gulch, a tributary of Slate
creek. This is a district in which
mineral discoveries of value were
never mado prior to this copjx-r dis
covery aud mauy of tho miners and
prospectors considered it "off the
belt" and barren. Years ago the pros
pectors in this country hud their eyes
ojM'ii for gold ulone and it is only in
comparatively recent years that the
copjicr fields cf Southern Oregou have
been recognized as having value.
ComiM'tcnt judges consider the In
grain Ramsey prns-rtv as one of the
most promising ill this portion of the
state.
A FREAK SUMMER SEASON
Such 1 the One We are Now Ex
perlenclng.
The present summer is one of the
driest on rword as, with the except ion
of a few light showers, no rain bus
fallen for the past tree mouths. As
a consequence, the grain and buy
croj will be light, though still far
removed from being a failure, a word
of which Southern Oregon hardly
realizes the meaning as applied to
crnjjo, as uo complete failure has ever
been known here. The fruit crop will
be good. Aunt her peculiarity of the
summer is the cold weather which has
prevailed recently. While eastern
cities are sweltering iu the oppressive
beat, the people of Southern Oregon
hare boen shivering more than they
really enjoy in the middle of summer.
On the morning of July 7, a regular
November fog covered the valley in
whlchG raut Pass is situated and a
fire was about the most comfortable
thing imaginable.

CALIFORNIA FORESTRY
Timber Matter to Be Closely
Studied In Slater State.
With the intention of fixing upon a
proper forest policy, California has
undertaken this year, with the help of
tho Bureau of Forestry, a comprehen
sive and detailed study of its forests.
The State legislature recetitly appro
priated 000 for tho study, the con
dition being that it should bo carried
ont by tho Bureau of Forestry, aud
that the Bureau should boar half the
expense.
The State desires to know those
facts about its forests that will guide
it in passing wise forest laws. It
desires to know, for instance, what
disposal should bo made of the state
forest lands, what should be done to
regulate the cutting of timber on
them, how forest fires may best be
restrained, whether tree-planting in
denuded areas will pay, etc
The task of securing all the infor
mation necessary fo a forest poller for
California the bureau of Forestry
has begun this summer. The work is
of such magnitude that several years
will be required to com pie to it, but
valuable and suggestive results will
be secured each year.
Tho work has been begun on a large
scale. Six men aro now ' examining
public lauds in the Slate to determine
what parts of them are suitable for
national forest reserves, and similar
studies will be made of lauds for state
reserves. A study will be made of all
lands owned by the state in order to
doterniino the uses to which they may
best be put, who should administer
them, and what sort of administration
they should have. A forest map of
California will bo mado, showing tho
location of all forest areas and dis
tinguishing between the different
kinds of forest. In connection with
the forest map will lio a study of im
portant trees iu order to learn with
exactness the commercial range of the
valuable - species. An investigation
will be made of the effects of lumber
ing on the forest iu order to determine
what ought to be done to cut-over
lands. It is of great importance to
know what hapiiens to tho land in
different parts of the timbered re
gions after it is cut over by the lum
bermanwhether it come up again
In timber or whether it becomes waste
land.
The effects of tire on tho forest, es
peclally after Himberiug, and what
may be done by the state to prevent
Ore aro subjects that will take a long
time to work out Iu September, E.
A. Sterliug, of tho Bureau, will try
to determine what is tho cheapest aud
most effective method of protecting
from fire land that has been luiu
bored.
The Bureau will also make a study
of tho chitppurral lauds of Southern
California iu order to learn whether
it will pay to plant them with timber
trees. A very interesting question has
been raised as to whether chapurral
which includes a great variety of
scrub trees trees, such as nianzitnitu,
scrub oak, valley mahogany, and
scrub cherry will retalu.the moisture
iu tho soil as well as tiiulmr trees.
Chapimrral grows denser than timber
trees, and often reaches a height of
W to 25 foot and a diameter of It) to
1H inches. L. C. Miller, who has
barge of this work, is now nmking
a study of tho condition, under which
chaparral grows iu tho San Gabriel
Mouutaius, near Pasudeua, where the
Bureau has been planting pines and
cedars for soveral years.
The ! mi: Its i f these separate llives
fixation tiitl be guihtied together by
William 0. lloiige, of tho Bureau,
who has genreal charge of the (.'all
foruia work, and will bo presented to
tho Stuto in a formal rcisirt, accoiu
tiiied by maps.
A HIGH DIVING FELINE
Portland C&l Drop From Sixth
Story Window Unhurt.
A largo Angora cat fell out of a
sixth-story window of the Perkins
Hotel and lives to jKilut a moral if
not to tell thn tale. The animal is
a valuable sis.ciiiiHii of the feilne
tribe, and la-longs to Mrs. Fruil Ciinn
of Seattle, who is stopping with her
husband, at the hotel. Many prizes
and blue rihlions gained at various
exhibitions demonstrate to the un
believing the K-digrco anil gene
merit of the cat.
Yesterday the animal, proud of its
proverbial ability to laud jkui its
feet, and made reckless by the know
ltdge that all cats have nine lives,
made a leap for life, with no jura
chute attachment, from the window
of the Cauu's bedroom. Mr. Cauu,
who was in the room at the time,
thinks the cat slipped on the stone
windowsill and so fell clear to the
concrete sidewalk below. Opinion
is divided as to whether tin-rat struck
upou its feet or not. It is probable
that it did, however, as it would seem
iiuiossible for any animal to fall TO
feet to bard veiiient and not be
dashed Ut pieces if it struck on its
side or back.
Mr. ('aim's Angora pet was not In
jured by the fall, but was badly
scared. It rau into the hotel lobby
and hid behind a uti-am radiator. A
crowd of people who saw it fall
followed and tried to coax It out.
Mr. ( anil hurried downstairs, and
the cat then emerged, and, upon be
ing examined, was apiwrcutly un
hurt At aur rate it is alive.
It is reported that graashopjiers
have been doing much damage to the
gardens lu Little Shasta valley.

WILL NAVIGATE THE AIR
Severs.1 Airship Will Compete
for World' Fair Prize.
Three more airships have been in
vented and will be entered in the
World' Fair aerial tournament to
complete for tho grand prize of $100,.
000. W. M. Morris, a Monte Vista.,
Oulo., mining engineer, 1 very san
quiue that he has solved the problem
of aerial navigation. His machine
will be 80 feet iu diameter aud ISO
feet long when fully rigged.. Alumi
num will bo the material used in
it construction but no gas bag will
be used as in other flying machine.
Mr. Morris says his machine will
travel 100 miles au hour without
lunging, tiltiug or tipping. Ho Is
carefully guarding the details of his
plans.
E, A. Kiudler, a Denver, Colorado
man, has completed a model for au
airship and conducted a satisfactory
test. Ho will enter it iu the con
test for the $100,000 prizo at the Fair.
Mr. Kindler claims his machine will
average a speed of eighty miles au
hour. Safety appliances are a feature
of the airship. Canvas flaps three
feet wide will extend entirely round
the balloon. These are limp except
in the case of suddeu descent, when
they open nut like umbrellas or para
chutes and aro lurge enough to check
descent to a gentleness devoid of dan
ger should the gas bags fail complete
ly. Motive power is furnished by
storage battery. Tho framework,
which is mado of aluminum and light
steel tubing, with tho motor, battery
and propeller, which Is six feet from
tip to tip und has four blades, which
will weigh about three hun
dred lxiunda. A test mado recently
of the model was entirely sutisfact
or)'. Tho machine described a circle
aliout AO feet ill diameter, rising, dip
ping and finally descended to its moor,
ings without a hitch iu its mecha
nism. The machine, will be truly formld
able one lu the coming conest.
Stroator, Illinois, will be represent'
ed in the aerial tournament by an air
ship planned by Mr. Reiferscheid of
that town.
Relferschied's machine consists of
a balioou pointed at both euds and
lying in a horizontal position,
Around this balloon aro strips of alu
minum strong enough to make a sub
stantial framework.
At each end are the propellers, six
In all, to be used III raising and low
ering thn machine and to assist lu
guiding it. A six horse-jsjwer gaso
line motor will provide the motive
siwer and the balloon will be filled
with hydrogen gas aud hiiimetically
scaled. Ijirge runs will provide a
safety device which will permit the
hip to slowly descend in case the bul
loon colWpses.
The uews also comes by cable from
Paris Franco, that Santos Dumout
has made a very successful expert
ment Willi his latest miHlol, leaving
his balloon shed, going a considerable
distance and returning with the air
ship under perfect control during the
entire trip.

DEER RUN DOWN BY TRAIN
Surprising Occurrence Which
Happened Near Tolo.
State Game Warden, J. W. Baker
thinks Jackson and Josephine counties
are the worst offender against the
game law. This may be true, bnt
reports are that the law for the past
few years have given the deer "show
for their money," as deer are beoom
iug very numerous especially younger
ones and herd of them can be wen
along the ralroad track In Jackson,
Josephine aud Donga couutles every
day this summer. The hand of the
deer slayer ha been seemingly stayed
degree sa people going out of town
marvel at the tumeues of this fleet
footed animal.
Trainmen" report seeing them in
large flock clambering up the hill
off the truck a the train go through
Cow Creek canyon, while the deer
lick just outside the limit of Ashland
aud under the railroad trestle 1 pat
ronized by deer nearly every morning.
An incident showing the tamenesa
of deer under the influence of the
game law wa brought to the atten
tion of the poblio a few days ago by
the experience of Engineer Vernon
Uartlett and Fireman Walter Denny,
who wore golug north at 11:80 a.m.
pulling a train,.
At one end of the Condor Power Co. '
dam across Rogue river st Tolo i s
lick and s flock of eight deer took the
ralload track en route to their morn
lug nip. The"choo-choo" of the en
gine got them off the track and on
the bank of the cut without killing
auy, but about half a mile further,
after the engineer and fireman thought
they were out of the herd they sud
denly ran into one that did not beed
the warning of the rumbling train
and ho waa killed. The train crew
that followed fed on venison. Valley
