Conditions Under Which Stock Is
Allowed to Pasture.
The secretary of the Interior lias
issued a circular letter to forest super
visors stating In detail the rules and
regulations governing the grazing of
stock on the forest reserves.
The following is the circular in
part:
"If the grazing is pormitted by the
secretary, it Is allowed for only a
stilted period of oue calendar year at
a time, and will not be allowed the
succeeding year nutil the secretary
lias rendered a decision for such suc

"The grazing, when allowed for
any year, is generally governed by

A MOUNTAIN OF COPPER
Big Find of Charles Sluerhoff
Near Glend.le.
Perhaps tho greatest discovery of

gon has just been made one mile
southwest of tflcndale.
Last spring, ('has. Siucrhoir an
ciperi"iic d miner and jirosjiector,

and has sjs ut the summer prosjscting
near this place.
A few days ago, lie began prospect
iug on Section creek, owfmile south
west of town, on laud belonging to
Mrs. C. Clarke of this plate. He
discovered a namher of cropping!
that " looked good to him," and had
several bshhjs made. He was sur
prised to find that the surface ore
assayed lit ill copT, fJ.rV, lu gold
and 1 1. -'U in silver to the ton. He
then began to investigate the extent
of thews ledgea and was almost be
wild' red to learn that instead of run
ning in ledges or veins, the entire
mountain for miles around what is
termed a dcrosit, being a solid body
of rich ore through the entire mount

BAKER'S EQUINE WONDER
Marvelous Se.ge.clty Credited to
Eastern Oregon Horse.
Sailor Ellis is the name of one of
the best trained horses la Oregon,
says a Baker City despatch. Kouo of
the trained horses in Ringliug's cir
cus can compare with him for horse
sense.
Sailor belongs to William Ellis, the
delivery man. Mr. Kilts has a large
number of fine horses, soma of them
thoroughbreds, but he values Sailor
above auy of them. Sailor is traiard
to the saddle or to drive. His owner
guides him while driving by word of
command, without using the lines.
"Go slow. Sailor." "Tfinre, turn
out for that rig and get ahead of that
sprinkling cart." "Turn to the loft at
the next street corner. " ' 'Now get
move on you ; we are in a hurry "
And Sailor does precisely as he is
told, never making a mistake.
He knows all the principal business
houses in town by name, and will go
to the place named from any part of
the city. The other day Mr. Ellis
was out driving with a friend, and,
after putting the horse through his
various paces and demonstrating that
he understood every word said to him,
he told him to go to lleilner's corner
and to bo quick aliout It It was
several blocks away, but Sailor lost
no time in getting there. After a
brief stop ho .was told to go down to
tho Gelscr Grand, and,' without a
moment's hesitation, be swung around
and went dowu tho street to the hotel,
stopping by the curb at tho front en
trance.
Sailor has numerous other accom
plishments. ' He call be sent on er
rands. Mr. KUis often sends him
to the ottlco or the stable with a
note tied on the saddle. The horse
will go direct to the plauo mimed
and return witli the article which the
otllco or stableman has fastened on
tho saddle.
Mr. Ellis bought him three years
ago for $110, out of a band of range
horses, and since then he has fre
quently refused ."i00 for him. Ho is
minus a pet'igre'e, hut ho is long on
brains. Ho is us gentle and kind as a
big dog. When Mr. Ellis' little 11-
year old son is playing nronud him,
nothing can induce Sailor to move.
DEVOURED 11Y WORMS.
Children often cry, not from iiain
but from hunger, although fed abund
antly. The entire trouble arises
from Inanition, their food is not as
similated, but- devoured hv worms.
A few doses of White's Vermifuge
will cause them to cease crying and
begin to thrive at once, very much to
the surprise and joy of tho mother.

SOURCE OF BLACK FLOAT
Wm Frakes New Find I a. Big

Win. Frakes returned this week
from a visit to the Hisklyous. The

tli small amount of development
which has been done. Arrangements
are being .made to sink 011 the vein
and to demonstrate its value. It is a
big proiitlon, as the ledge is fully
) feet in width. Tho ore is very
heavily mineralized and carries gold,

BOLAND CREEK PLACERS
Portland Company Organized
Will Use Now Appliance.
A now couiiuuy has just been form
ed for the development of property in
Southern Oregon, says tho Telegram,
in which a new process of gold saving
will be used It is known as tlte
Gold Placer aud Dredging Company,
and is capitalized at fi0,O0U Its
property is situated on tho head
waters of tho iriinois river, oil Bolan
Creek, iu Josephine county, aud
has promising bodies of gold and
platinu-n.' The principle stockholders
are Colouol John T. Grayson and T.
K. Muir, of Portalud; G. W. Wilder
man, of. Brookville, 111 , and P. II.
Euright, of Los Angeles, Cal.
A process never' before used will be
employed to work tho gravel. The
machine, which wns lmtcuted iu May
this year, is a now idea to hydraulic
mining. The tube, through which
the snivel is carried may bo any sizo.
Tho bottom of tho tube has no cou
uectiou with water, but a distance
from tho lower cud tho water is forced
into the tube and tho Buct ion carries
the gravel out of tho upper end,
throwing it any reasonable required
distance Iu this way a 2&-hro
power plant is cabpalo of handling
three cubio yards of dirt permiiiuto
using a 13-iuch plw. A test has
been made and has proven a complete
success.
There is 110 danger of largo roeljs
lodging nud choking the tube, it be
ing so constructed that tho lower end
is smaller than the top, the pipe
tapering all tho way through.
Olio of the machines is on exhibition
opposite the Chamber of Coinmerco
building in Portland, whero It is in
nH'riitiou.
After the gravel is lifted to the
required height, U is passed over
a copper plate, which contains quick
tilver. A row of rl tiles extend across
tho 'plates, which also contain
"quick." Tho quicksilver undergoes
a process before it is used, by which
its ullinity for gold Is increased to
a marked degree, A chemical pro
cess is used by which tin) value of the
"quick" is retained und none of its
quantities wasted. One of tho princi
pal values of the" quick" is its saving
of platinum, hlch heretofore has
been lost to the placer miners.
Tho heavy deposits of platinum in
Southern Oregon have been of practic
ally un value, because of inability to
save that element. Geologists state
that the platinum fields of Southern
Oregon are second only to those of the
Ural Montains, iu Asia, whero nearly
all platiiini used by science is ob
tallied.
SOUTHERN OREGON HAPPY
No Complaint Heard by Coman
on His Recent Trip.
General Passenger Agent W. E.
Coman of the Southern Pacific has re
turned to Portland from a trip taken
through Southern Oregon. Mr.
Coman's trip was taken for the pur
Hsu of Investigating crop conditions
and the general business situation on
the West Side.
"I did not bear a word of complaint
during my trip," said Mr. Coman.
"This should lie a pretty dear indica
tion that business conditions are sat
isfactory to the people of Western
Oregon. While there may hoo and
there be a slight crop shortage, prices
are so good .that the farmers w ill be
as e- " ' T- Mioiigh an average yield,
under ns.i A com !..i u.s, had been ob
tained. "During the trip, Thomas Nash
sei'ured a numlsjr of interesting mov
ing pictures illustrating seines along
tho lino of the Southern Pacific. It
will not bn known, of course, until
the films are developed, whether the
trip was a success, hut Mr. Nash is
confident that it was. We secured
views of Cow Crock canyon, the
rtiskiyous and numerous agricultural
scenes.
These views will bn used for dis
play in tho East and all of them will
serve to advertise the state of Oregon.

A Sun Frnucisco'disputch says:
If Giorgu Gould carries out his
plans, within a short time ho will
have readied tho Pacific coast with a
railroad lu two places, 0110 iu Califor
nia and the other in Oregon.
Wlillu the two roads may retain
separate corporation identities, the
management will be something like
that of tho Union Pacific and tho Ore
gon Short Line.
Ily tho same interest the Western
Paclflo is to connect tho Gould systom
at Salt Lake with -San Francisco,
while the Coos Pay road is to form a
link between Salt Lake and the North
western Const. It is the intention to
build up a port at Coos Hay, which
will bid against Portland and Seattlo
for tho groat and growing trado of
tho Pacific Northwest and of Siberia,
China, Corea and Japan. Tho con
struction of tho Siberian railroad
has given an immense impetus to the
trade of tho Northwestern Hjrt and
Gould, backed by Kock feller, Is de
