Tho persistent nlerenco to the
Hucker cluck find us a "pocket," la
tho many news items which aru now
iu circulation concerning it, Is ex
tremely exasperating to thoso who
want to see tho mineral industry
develop In this section and
who are aware of all that .Southern
Oregon bus suffered by the word. The
topulnr conception of a pocket is u
small detached deposit of gold which
may bo nil dug out in a few ibiys. - HI
course there are pockets and pockets
and the llnillng of a deposit of rich
ore Iu a ledge of gold bearing rock Is
afar dilfereut thing from llndlng a
detached purl Inn, perhaps a rich
quartz boulder which may have
slid or rolled a long distance fiom the
main body. Tho new II ml is on a
ledge. It Is between walls and it has
future as well as a present. The
ore of quarts ledges seldom runs in
steady values and when a phe
nonieiially rich "bunch," like the re
cent find, occurs iu a ledge it is olton
termed a pocket. Tho term is well
enough when used by those who are
versed In such mutter but tin
word is not one to be turned In ise on
a public that has no knowledge of
mineral cnditim s. A great deal
more Is known concerning pockets
than was known 10 years ago. Many
men bavo dug out so-called pockets
and uliaudniied places which were
later r j-located and proved to be
valuable mill, s. The Greenback, the

NEW MINING INVENTIONS

been thoroughly iatisf.iet.iry and the
opiiation of tho machines has been

inventors.
For tho pan fve months W.

This mat bino embodies the cream of

T he machine ja ,,f small pattern, only

iu eoi'sitleration of its size. All tests
are now being made behind closed
doors.
W. If. Shermao and W. V. Shannon
have pwfeeted a machine for scpurut

have invented two machines. Tests
have Is en made mid the results have

These machines have an added im

reports that her new home at Grants
Pass is quite nice.
There nro many cases of sickness
iu the valley, on account of such
changeable weather. The 24 lb there
was a little frost, the 2 2d it was qnite
foggy, on the 2:ird it was very hot
with a wild north wind. This is the
first season iu Oregou that the old
settlers of this valley have seen so
much wind. It is equal to eastern
Oregon or Sliasly valley, CaL, to
certain extent
Tho Powell Creek Lumbering Com
pany of Provolt had bad lock Friday
iftcruoon while busy sawing, the
feed pinion gave way, which will lay
the mill idle for a day or two, al

have to send the feed pinion tc
Ashland and havo one uiado at the

Tlio ball game of lust Sunday was
oiih of the games that was worth look
ing at. The game was played be
tween Provolt and Missouri Flat, and

I.iiyton. The score stood 2 to 4 in
favor of Provolt. We have learned
that Provolt will play Grants Pass

Tho Little Pocket quartz mine is
now being worked. The owners of
this proMTty have been doing good
work the past two weeks, from the
report of their shots. The people of
our neighborhood are quite excited
over the report of the big find by
liriggs on Sucker creek. There
ought to be a big ledge for someone
else lying near. We are glad the boy
made such a wonderful flud for we
know what boulder rolling is by ex
pone nee.
The school election of districts 8
and 11,1 was hold June 20, IIMVI, at 2

The gold find recently reported
