The i'rovolt correspondent of the Ashland Tribune gives the particulars of a rich gold Hud uear tJravback mountain at the head of Williams creek : Fred Hllsa returned to I'rovolt last Saturday from the bead of Steaves : fork of Applegate accompanied b several other parties where they have j been locating some quartz claims. Mr. llliss had b i in Idaho for j several years Mid wheti he heard of the fatuous l'riggs And he determined j to make a search for a ledge he had found and lost while hunting 10 years ago. Mot t'hapinau and Kred llliss got lost ill a forest lire on the llray- back range and while lost found a I rich quarts, lodge and marked it and tried to make an escape from the tire and Aud their way home. After they had got home and the lire had burned out, they made several attempts to thnl the hidden ledge at different times, but failed. Mr. Hllss and some oilier parties made another at tempt and succeeded ill (lulling the lost treasure. They had two assays madeou the ore which was taken from the ledge several bundled feet apart and one aisaved ;IT0 per ton and the other fl'.'.'i per tcu. Mr. llliss thinks he has something as good aa the Wounded lluck Mine which was discovered by Hrigtis some time ago. According to Mr. Uliss story, his discovery is only about 10 miles from the llriggs mine and in the same range of mouutaiuf. (:ie of the handsome gray horses of Hster llros. ' dray team, died Tuesday after a short illness. The two grays made one of the handsomest teams in the state and the boya will nave great difficulty in finding another licrse to match.

Extensive improvements, involving the exiieudituro of a vast sum of money, are to be made iu the South ern Pacific, lines in Oregon during the next six mouths. The work has already beea inaugurated aud 80 pouud steel raila for 60 miles of new track, from Grants Pass north to West Fork, are now being distributed. There are 40 carloads of these rails uow in Portland, en route south, on their way from Chicago rolling mills to Grants Pass. "Yes, this work will be com menced at once," said James P. O'Hrifti, sujriuteudcnt of the lines of the O. H. & N. aud Southern Pacific companies in Oregon. "The Southern Pacific now lias heavy rails across the Siskiyou mojntaini aud aa far north a Grants Pasa. The old flO-pound rails ate being taken up, and a new rail, weighing 80 pounds to the yard, Is being put down. We have today 40 cars of the uew rails on hand. The intention is to con tinue improvements of tho Southern Pacific In this state. On the fiO miles of Improvement just now commenced the company will spend about $lfiV 000." Mr. O'Brien declined to be inter viewed forth r upon the matter and said lie was not in a position to say what the future plana of the company aru regarding improvements north of West Fork. It is kuown, however, Ihaf a large budget la utui r consid eration by the directory of the road, aud not only that, hot a big aum of money ia already in hand for the fur ther improvement of the Oregon lines under the direction of General Muna ger K. K. Calvin. That a spirit of progression has taken hold of the Southern Pacific in Oregou is apparent. There is a marked change in the policy nod a disposition to spend a liberal share of the earnings of the road iu making its physical condition rauk with tiiat of the first class railroads of the country Is admitted. Under former management, the road gullied the reputation of b ing a nou-prngressive line. When Bichard Koeliler enme to Oregon years ago to take the manage ment of the Oregon & California rail way, ho waa the representative of the contingent of German stockholders, and as such waa charged with the duty of making tho property pay divi dends witli reasonable regularity aud iu satisfactory amounts. Ho was an economical and conser vative mannger. Whilo accomplish ing his mission in the main, it is said, he did it at the expense of the material progress of the read. Since his retirement and Manager Calvin's succession, tilings are looking np for the Oreuon lines of tho Southern Pacillo aa woll as for the O. K. & N. Improvements aro not only com mencd, but more are contemplated. Portland's great feeder in the Will amette valley, it is declared, is to be placed iu tho front rank as a modern railway line. With extensive im provement of trnknge will inevitably follow better equipment and greater facilities of all kinds to meet the growth of the country through which the line passes. Southern Oregon is coming to the front with giant strides and is now being recognized as exceedingly rich iu its vast and varied resources, in eluding fruit, lumber and mining, Tho most sluniclWiit recognition of this ia the fact that the Southern Pacillo miinagoniciit has decided to snd many hundreds of thousands of dollars iu making a first-class rail way from the Siskiyou mountains to Portland.

Iu order to extend the influence of the Oregon Development League still farther throughout the state, there will be held at Grants Pass, Friday, September 21), the Southern Oregou session of tho League, aud arrange ments for this event are uow being made. Secretary Tom Kicliardson, of the Oregon Development League, is now in correspondence with F. J. Blakely, of Rosebuig, vioe-president of the State League, with whom he is arranging for an extensive advertis ing of the Southern Oregou session. Vice-President Blakely will begin at once sending out invitations to all the cities and towns of Southern Ore gon, asking them to send representa tives to Grants Puss to attend the session. It is expected that the Grants Pass gathering will be the largest In the history of that section, for it will bu made plain that the movement is for the benefit of South ern Oregon interests, and tho repre sentatives of those interests will be urged to be on band and help cheer the good work along. E. L. Smith, president of the League, will be at Giuuts Pass to preside ever the session, and lend bis able assistance to enlist the en thusiastic supjiort tf Southern Oregen iu the enterprise. Secretary Richardson is iu high spirits over the result of the South eastern bob. ion at Baker City last Friday, aud predicts that uow the iceisbrcktu and the uatnre of the movement has been thoroughly dis cussed, the State League will receive earnest and genuine suppoit from that section. The interest shown by those who attend tho session, says Secretary Richardson, ia highly en couragiug and gives assuruueo that Eastern Oregou is properly disposed toward the movement. A. L. Craig, general passenger agent of tho Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company whose sjeech before the convention on the friendly disdosi tion of the railroads towaid any dis trict that gave" inducements for rates and excursions, snya he is hopeful of good results from the Baker City gathering. Mr. Craig's address be fore the convention was one of the happy features of the meeting. He pointed to the horticultural and agri cultural exhibit on the opera house stage, as one of the strongest adver tisements in behalf of Bukir county. He told his heurers that all auv country had to do was to get in and hustle, give the rairloads an induce ment to offer ratea and tho same would be forthcoming in good season. President E. L. Smith expressed himself after the meeting as well satisfied witli the interest shown, and said thero were good prospects ahead for n strong hold iu Eaatem Oregon hy the Oregou Development League.
