The Brlgg's gold mine on Thomp

which has caused so much excitement
duriug the past mouth, sinew the ex
piratiou of 10 days option, to pur
chase at 1100,000 cash, giveu to out
side parties, has been bonded to E.
L. Staples, a prominent citizen of
Ashland, formerly of Boise, Idaho,
a man who has successfully handled
and promoted soiue very etxensire
gold mining properties. Mr. Staples
arrived at UrantB Pass Thursday from
the Briggs' place and in an interview
said:
"Southern Oregon is certainly
well into the beginning of a great
dump
by a
Cripple Creek man to be the cream of
ores.
"Oregon ranks high among the
mining states now, Due wun me
immeuse discoveries beiug made in
Josephine and Jacksou counties, she
will soon lead, or I miss my guess.
Until recently the mines andjros-
pec tors have cared but little for iow
grade ledges for the reason that the
rich so-called pocket finds were num
erous and when the rich chute was
worked out from the surface, they
begau searching for another. So it
was that many rich ledges have been
abandoned, when they fuiled to pay,
by use of pick, shovel and hand mortar."
Speaking of tne rich bucker creek
discovery by Brings, Mr. Staples
id:
"I stent some days there and was

"The placers of this country are
producing more gold now than in the
exciting days of the fifl's aud ISO's.
"Whv. down near Waldo, where I
spent a week rocently," said Mr.
Staples, "I saw J DO ounces uf gold

there are mauy other rich placers in

which have thousands of tons of ore
averaging 12 per cent copper and

A LONE WOMAN IS BRUTALLY MURDERED
Her Skull Crushed and Face and Neck Cut By an Un
known Assailant.
Tho Police Have Been Working
on Ce.se e.nd Have Sus
pect In Jail.
Mr, Florence Chai in, known also
as Florence Wells, a woman bearing
au unsavory reputation, was brutally
murdered some time Wednesday after
noon at hor home on west Front str- el
in this city. Mystery surrouuds the
w hole affair so far us to the motive for
the crime or the Identity of tho mur
derer. A good description of a man
seen lu her company the day of the
murder, has been given tho police
and they are on the outlook for the
man. All towns on the line of tho
S. P. have been notified aud a reward
of 1500 is offered for the arrest of the
guilty persou.
The scene of
tho crime is a lonely
little house some distance flora, neigh
bors, surrounded by a growth ol
young pinos and manznnita. It facea
tho railroad track aud is Just beyond
the S. P yard limits west. The man
who was last Beeu with her has been
iu towu for the past two weeks, but
was no, soon to go to the Chapiu
house uutil Monday or Tuesday,
when he was particularly noticed by
the neighbors. On WodueBday morn
ing wheu a neighbor's 12-year old girl
went to deliver milk to the liouc,
this man went into, tho house and
locked the door. For some time he
would not let the womau open tho
door to receive tho milk aud tho girl
heard them quarreling about some
property. She dually came to the
door to got the milk. This was the
last time she was Been alive, by uuy
other than tho fiend who murdered
her. Along iu tho afternoon, Mrs.
Hickox who was calling on a neigh
bor, noticed that the shades iu the
Chapin house were drawu down and
the back window oien, which was
unusual. The fact that Mrs. Chapiu
had not been at the Hickox house
with water from her well, as was her
daily custom, was also commented
odou. At about 8 o'clock iu the
evening, Mr. and MrB. Hickox and
another woman went to the house
aud after repeated knockings Biid
culls, were unanswered, the door
fastenings wero broken and a senrcli
of the house begun, which finally re
vealed tlio body of the woman wrap
ned no iu a bed quilt, lying on the
floor under tho open window. Coro
ncr Flanagan was at once notified and
on examination ot the ' body decided
that tho woman had beeu dead two
hours or more. She had beeu hit on
the head by somo blunt instrument
which crushed tho skull iu two
laces. The face and neck wero also
cut many times with a kuiru. Ap
pearances lead to the theory that sli
was killed on the bed and then
inioklv wramied in tho quilt on
which she lay aud takeu to the net
room near tha window. The doors
wero fastened on tho inside and th
fiend left the houso through tho win

advanced ia that the murderer was
Unking uear to burn the houso during
the night and thus eface evidence of
his crime. His purpose in fastening
tho doors was to keep the crime from
being found out, should auy person
come to the house.
The woman had no money but is
said to have property iu British
Columbia. It is reported from Med-
iford that a man answering the do
