Despite the fact that Portland co ple have been accused, of being luke warm in the matter of encourage ment and 'investment in mining prop erties, it ia known that the uiouey pat iutq ventures by them during the past 25 yeara has amounted to hun dreds o! thousands of dollars. Many of them, too, have been caught in wildcat ventures, and made to bo lieve that a welldevi loped mine ex isted, whereas there was ouly a pros pect hole. Portland people have in vested much capital in mining-stocks, grab-staked hundreds of prospectors, and some of the largest euterpriece iu Southern Oregon were developed and are owned and operated by residents of this city. Portland capita! has boeo taken in more tlinn once, and money lias been risked in legitimate mining enterprises, that brought in no returns. Men cannot be expected to invest their capital iu enterprises nnlees there is a probability of get ting some returns, b for mining matt be conducted on a legitimate basis, the same as iu auy other line, Portland capitalists were among the Brat to develop and put iu expen sive equipments to Work the highland gravel deposits iu Southern Oregon.

The deep 'gravel beds high up on the ridges above the beds of the streams had never been touched. Au Euglish company, of London, was the first to install a plaiit for working the npland placers in the Galice district in Josephiue county. Before its long ditches were completed and its powerful giants for washing the gravel were in position, Caption A. P. Aukeny, of Port laud, had tho Blue. Gravel Company or ganized an1 began operations on a ridge across tin creek from the En glish company. Associated with Cap- taiu Aukeny were J. V. and Vinceut Cook, M. S. Burrell, D. P. Thompson and others. It was the beginning of hydraulic placer mining in Southern Oregou, and it cost niauy thousands of dollars to dig the loug ditches and to equip the ntiuf with pipe, giants, bedrock flume, eto. There were no roads Into the Galice Creek district iu those days, and the supplies were all taken in on pack animals. TI13 heavy giants were transported to the mines by being loaded on a lizard, a sort of sled made from the forks ef an oak tree. It was dragged along the moautaiu trail with horses, where au accidental slip wonld have pre cipitated the load into the bottom of the Rogue river canyon. The lumber for thn flumes aud building purposes was all whipsawed by hand a big log-was lolled and propped np over a pit, and 0110 man stood on the top of the log holding one end of the saw, and tho other was hold by another workman who stood ou the ground below. The log was lined and mark ed, and had to be icut to scartch to produce cven-Bized boards. Rose burg was then the torniinus of the railroad, where the passengers boardod a six horse stage- coach and paid 16 cents per mile to ride to Grants Pass, with tho privilege of walking over the bad stretches of roads. Iu spite of these difficulties, Captain Aukeuy spent much of his time at the mine, aud Vincent Cook often remained for two or Hires months at a time. The other interested parties made oc casional visits to the srenn of opera tions. These parties Inter sold the Blue Gravel, and the Aukneys and Cooks became owners of the famous Sterling mine, near Jacksonville. Tbe development of the Blue Gravel gave hydraulic placer mining a start in Sontheru Oregon and a number of these upland placers are the. best pay ing properties. For several years past, L. A. Lewis, of Allen & Lewis, has operated an extensive placer mine ou Grave Creek, iu Josephine county. It coat thousands of dollars to dig miles of ditches aud bring water on the gioond and equip the mino. Where opera tions were began ou the low gronud there was no dump, but this difficulty was obviated by building an expen sive elevator that carried the water, gravel and rock to an elevated dome- way. Tho ground has been washed away for a half mile further np the creek, but the elevating apparatus is not now needed. A few miles further down Grave Creek, John W. Lewis, a brother of L. A., operates another extensive placer proposition that cost a small fortune to equip. Telegram. LEWIS AND CLARK MUSIC Roseburg Oichestra Nucleus for Big Orchestra..

OREGON MAN DIDN'T BITE Look Out for European Schemer You May Be the Next Victim. Tbe Spanish prisoner, that ancient brother to the gold brick aud Euro pean relative of the American bunko man, having grown a little stale on the other side of the water has takru to working ou the cupidity of people on the ;Pacifio Slope. W. J. Wittier, President aud Manager of the Peep Gravol Mining Company of Waldo, Ore., w'as selected as a possibly easy victim, who was besides possessed of sufficient money, to make him easy. But Sir. Winter was not 10 easily worked. The usual programme was carried out according to precedent of the people on tho other side. The prison er was dying iu a Spanish dungeon. He had ftfil.OOO deposited iu a Lon don bank, but the portmanteau iu which the certificate of deposit was hidden iu a secret pocket had been seized by the Spanish authorities. This money lie would bequeath to Mr. Wimur along with his daughter if only it could bi recovered. By the next mail came a letter from a con fident ml friend announcing the death of the prisoner and inclosing his will uuder which Mr. Wlmor was made guardian of the derelict daughter aud he was bequeathed 3U,000 if he could got It. The process of getting the mouey was simple. All that was necessary waa to prove tho will and get possess ion of tho prisoner's effects, including tho portmanteau. The confidential friend knew where to find the. secret pocket, and would take from it the certificate of deposit lo be forwarded Mr. Wimer. But and hero crimes the snare it was necessnry to send X:il to pay the costs of conrt. Iu the following let ter the dying prisoner wrote to Mr. 'Wimer, whom he claimed ai au un expected relative, aud described tho process by which he became, possessed of the 30,000: "Castle Fort of Valencia, September 1804. Mr. T. Wimcr-My dear Relative: Having not the honor to know yoa but for the references which my dear wifo, Mary Wimer, jour relative, gave me, who, mention ing tho individuals of our family, praised the honesty and good qualities that distinguish you, I address my self to you for the first time (and perhaps the last oue, considering tho grave state of my health), explaining to you my sad posllio.i and requesting your protection for my only daughter, your niece, 15 yours old, whom I keep as a pensioner iu the college of Santa Elena. 'As I am strictly watched by my enemies, I hope you will reveal to nobody the most Insignificant detail of tliis letter. Ileing a secretary and treasurer of Mr. Martinez Campos In the late war of Cuba, and deserving tho conditions of such an illustrious gentleman, placing my capital In pub lic funds transactions so that I might make a brilliant position for my daughter, whom I ever loved with passion slnco when her mother died. Now my fortune increased fast, and I would have been happy had my protector continued to tho end of the campaign. No sooner was he replaced b y Gem nil Weyler than my misfor tune presented itself, as I could Lot succeed in making him comply to Spain, and, not being in my powtr to seo Cuba ruled by an adversary politic, I joined the rebellion iu be half of the republic; but. as we were victims of tlio greatest treason, I was obliged to emigrate to Kuglish ground, taking along with uin my money, valued at 3,000. After having resided tome time In Loudon I received the sad news that my wife had died, leaving my dear daughter iu despair and without help in this sad situation. I found myself in the necessity of coining to Spain to help my daughter and bring her In my company to your country. "Before starting, considering it Im prudent to take along with mo this respectahlo sum of money, I decided to place it iu tho Lomloa bank against a siiecial contract and only us a do posit, as it apears in the security document payahlii to the bearer that the bank gave mo as a guarantee, which document I hid ill Hie hollow of my portmanteau." After tho decease of the sopposit iou prisoner, tho daughter wrote to Mr. Wimer, enclosing her photograph and consenting to come to his homo in Oregon. Mr. Wimer, finding himself heir to au unexpected daughter and a fat soiu of money, enclosed the whole correspondence to "The Kxaminer. " Tho game is as old as the gold brli k, but it still woiks among people whose copidity is stronger th in their sense. PLACEOF MINING ROMANCE Denver Taper Speaks Well ol Southern Oregon Writer. When the literary history of America is written a hundred years hence, the commentator will point with emphasis to the many volumes upon his shelves that have drawn their inspiratou from life and events of the mining regions of the West at a time when tho Rocky Mountains represented the extreme frontier of civilization. Those who s-ek to get iu touch with tho manners and feelings of the people who then inhabited the wilds aud first brought its commanding resources into the commercial channels of the older commonwealths will find themselves directed to the worka of the imagina tive wtiters who pictured the condi tions existing during this important period in the nation' progress. The .hallowed memory of those who filled this niche in the country's gallery of lettered tuou will loud impetus to the aspiratious of others who have found new books to write aud new civiliza tious to paint. To be able to set forth iu romance the regional story of men and women, whether they be nature's rough pro duct or the more polished social gums of cultured surrouudings, one most dwell amoug them aud drink of the sumo dretms and emotions. They must be portrayed at first hand. Bret Harte, the laureate of mining camp fiction and verso, taught school among the subjects of his muse. Murk Twain spent yeara in tho mlnlug re gions, and it is said that the world nearly lost him In the vicinity of Virginia Cily, when ho barely es caped becoming a millionaire aloug with Fair, Mackay aud others. Denuia II. Stovall, oue of The Record's special correspondents, is typical of that charmiug class of men who sottlo down iu a province and imbibe, the scutimcuta and interests of its citizens in order to translate them into language, for the entertainment aud profit of others. The Record has published mauy of his short stories sent out from his literary soat in Southern Oregou, and doubtless its subscribers have fult the same enjoy, uient in reading them that its editors hare in setting them iu print. We therefore take pleasure in calling at tention to a new book from his pen, which comes in the same delightful strain as his "Talcs of Old; Tales of Gold." Tho story Is entitled "Sus anna of Korbyville," and deals with imagined evonta iu the old mining town of Kerbyvlllo, "fifty yeara ago Kerbyvllle "at the foot of the pine- clad hills, with its ono loug street, and overlooking the winding river and the valley of the Illinois." Sometime within a year The Record has repro duced a picture of the. old towu hall, with Its weather boarding partly gone, for the town, throgli practically deserted, is still tliora as a reminder of tho time, when Kerbyvllle "ex changed more 'dust' than any other mining camp north of Sail Francis co. " Mr. Stovall's story deals largely with tho Indian war of IBM, whcrolu we find the prospector wlht his bag of nuggets, the district sheriff and the proprietor of the inevitable gambling house and saloon, aud there is a pretty romaneo iu the foreground to give the picture perspoctivo and propor dimen sions. The author has done a great deal toward advancing thn mining Inter ests of Southern Oregou by means of his ever-ready account of the latest "strike" aud "clean-up. " It will not be surprising if ho does just as much for tho social history of that wonder- ful region, resourceful not ouly Iu lode and placer gold, but interesting tradititius as well.

Crouch Save New Town Will Da Built on the Rogue. E. K. Crouch, son of President O. M. Crouch, of the Alineda mines, In the Galice mining district, is iu Portland for a few days 011 business and fur recreation. He rejairts U meu being employed on the Alineda, working a ledge showing up some 200 feet wide, and which will probably average about (10 fer ton. Preparations are undur way for the Installation of a melting plant at tho mine, starting with a 200-tou plant and increasing the castcity as requirements dumand. "We are figuring on building a road iu from Leland to the mine this win ter," Mr. Crouch said, "and that will shorten the distance to tho near est distributing poiut. Heretofore all business has been transacted through Merlin, the first station this side of Grants Puss. The Rand Mining Com pany, workiug the same ledge as the Alineda is interested in the putting in of the new road. 'The Golden Wedge has been shut down for a short period while waiting for machinery tho intention being to increase tho cajiacity of the mill, The Galice Consolidated is working about a dozen men on its placer prop ertics. "Anew towu is to be located at a point two miles further down tbe Rogue River thau Galice.

Abraham Lincoln, February i, 1824. The Natural Influence of Ilia Open Saloon. Present day psychology aud medi cine ara full of notices and treatises upon the power of suggestion. Has it never occurred to the observer that this (lower of suggestion to the drink er's appetite Is 0110 of the chief evils of tho open saloon? Tho drinking man says: "I cannot pass an open saloon, as soou as I see it, I must go In." A philosopher lias said: "We do not so much iKisaess our ideas as they possess ok" There li a large measure of truth Iu this assertion. A little child bumps its head.- Rut Its mother says: "That did not hurt," aud the baby refrains from crying. Suggestion has, in mauy raws, almost, if not qulto, a hypuotio power. Burgeons tell a patient the operation will not be painful, and he endures It without au anaesthetic. Wise physicians often cure disease by uggestlou. Many a modern mlraolo of healing is eiplalued by Its potency. It is powerful to overcome cold, heat, thirst all bodily affections. Now, remembering the basic sus ceptibility of human nature to sug gestion, think of the power upon the diseased nerves of the Inebriate of u row of saloons on the street side by which he passes. A confirmed tobac co user, in many cases of temporary deprivation of Ills narcotic, cannot (lass aV'igar store how much greater the temptation wheu every tiler of the poor drunkard's being cries for strong drink with the cry of the vampire, "give, give." We owe it, as lovers of our kind, to banish saloons, so that our diseasid brothers ma) be saved, if possible, from the power of drink suggestion. Last Excursion lo the World's Fair.
