The Portland Daily Journal has the following regarding the great Green back mine : This mine comprises half dozen or more patented claims and a much larger area of laud used to facilitate work. The company has legal ex istence nnder the name of the Green back Gold Mining company. W. It. Brevoort is president, Carey V. Thompson, manager, C. B. Hanson mill superintendent, and Chas. Brnckin, laboratory man. More than 11,000 feet of development has been dona in the mine, and the equipment consists of a 30 and a 10-stamp mill, amalgamating and concentrating and cyadiniug tailings'aud concentrates. The Greenback was located iu 1SU7 by Ed. F. Hanuum aud D. L. Brown ing. Atfer profitable surface work, the locators sold iu 1893, the principal portion of the preseut n'.nungement buying. Costly litigation followed quickly afttr purchase, C. F. Drown coutendiug that his original location overlapped the Greenback property. The purchasers used this litigation to have the original purchase price reduced, giving the vcudors the alter native of making tlio title good by defending in tho pending action, or accepting f 10, 000 aud letting tho pur chasers light the suit. The latter was accepted, aud after appealing to high tribunals, the purchasers vindicated their title. Manager Thomp'on had charge, from the first, lie installed a five-stunip mill at the portal of the fifth level aud later iucrcasid this to 10 and then 15. Two years ago a 30-stamp mill was completed ou the ninth level, having 10 stamps in the old mill at the fifth. Since then 40 stamps have bem in commission most of the time, the old mill running during the wet season when water power is abundant, to treat ores from the extreme upper levels. Iu dry weather, oue to two months of fall, the new mill is run by steam power, the remainder of the time being actuated by wator, for which purpose two niue-foot wheels have been installed. Two hand sorters work ou the up per mill floor, throwing out larger coarse pieces of diorito. This sorting follows sorting in the mine, w here an effort is made to eliniinato waato.fr cni ore. Two Blake 8x10 inch brnaki n receive ore passing a ono and a half inch grzzly aud that returned from the hand sorting. Stamps weigh 1,000 pounds, aud are given a stroke of six inches at tho rate of 107 to 110 drops a minute. Crushing is to .10 mesh, and amalgamating plates aro 1ft feet long, being stepped. Four bump ing tables receive the product from the plates, saving a light percentage of concentrates. Tailings are de livered through Butters distributors to three tanks of 185 tons each. Slimes and sands separators, with a monteju and compressed air filter press, have been provided for treating fine and coarse sands apart, but it was found in p' act Ice that there was not enough in the slimes to warrant their handling in this manner. The filter press is of the most modern pattern used iu the Kalgoorlie dis trict, Australia, wliero this piess ori ginated, but it was used very briefly, as the management fouud that values are so thoroughly freo that little is loKt iu slimes. Tailings aro kept in a 0110 quarter of oue per cent solution for 15 days. Concentrates are piped to a separate plant, given a strong alkaline wash and subjected to a one per cent solutiou for HO or 40 days, with results highly sal infaetory to the management, which find this treat ment far more profitable so far than hauling 11 miles to a railroad and shipping 300 mPca to a smelter. The concentrate plant l.as been operating since the first, of the year. Avery heavy percentage of Greenback ore in all upper workings is free, there being but little sulphide. This mine has made oue of tho most notable efforts in handling concentrates known to the state, and is working along nearly the same lints as the lied Boy adhered tj when running full blast. There are several veins crossing the Greenback group ou close parallel lines, but nearly all won has been devoted to the Greenback. This is a narrow veiu, if tho firm quartz de fines its bouuds, but three to five feet of diorite oil the foot wall, whic h hm been shattered and ct minted by silica, is milled. This accounts for the economy aud safety in sorting out all large pieces, for solid diorite re mains massive after breaking down. j The vien is said to shelve or wave iu 1 dip, caused by a considerable novo- meut of the formation.

No defl i nite information as to condition of the vein in the deepest levels Is given out, the management denying The Journal 1 correspondent adniisisou under ground whtn applying for the same. A ser pentine dike Is said to cut across I he system on the eastern boundary of : present work, aud some engineers, , thinking the serpentine (hallow, argue ; that the 1100 aud 1200 levels should ' get under it, flodiDg the vein contin uous beyond where it has been mined I above. The length cf the shoot is uot stated, but is understood to give open stops of fair sequence for 1200 to 1500 feet. No. 9 level has a length of about 2000 feet. Not, S and 5 having re spective length of 500 and 900 feet Tho 1200 level reached is on the dip of the vein, aud not vertical. Iustopiug impoverished areas of tmall dimension wjre occasionally encountered. A 10-drill compressor is on the prop erty, aud from it to 10 power drills are in constant use when development is full blast All mechanical arrange ments of the Greenback are of very high standard, aud the mining is taken as a splendid type of holding to an ore body, wherever it goes. DEAD MAN ON THE TRACK Grewsoine Obstacle to TreJn at Myrtle Creek. A decidedly growsouie discovery was made by tho Southern Paoifio section crow about 9 o'clock Tuesday morning a short distance north of Myrtle Creek at a lonely point on the railroad. While runuiug over that section of the road the crow fouud scattered along the track several hundred feet, the mangled remains of a man who had, it is thought, been murdered aud placed ou tne railroad during the night In the hope that a passing traiu would cover op the deed of the murderers. This conclusion was reached from the na ture of a severe wound fouud over the eye of the unfortunate man, which ap peared to have baeu inflicted with a club or bar of iron prior to the cuts aud bruiBes sustained from being run over by a passing traiu. Another ver sion is that he was killed either from falling asleep on tho track or falling from a train on which he was beating his way. On oue portion of the re mains were fouud discharge papers from tho U. S. army identifying the iau ns H. Cross of Ohio. He waa a Spanish American war veteran, abont 25 years of ngo. Plaiudealer. A TRAGEDY AT SISKIYOU Young Man la Killed by Railroad Train. Sydney K. Sheldon, a youug man of abont 20 years of age, was instantly killed at tho mouth of Siskiyou tun nel last week by a Southern Paoifio freight train. From indications, Sholdon bad been "riding tho rods," and was either ovorcomo by gas dur ing the trip through the tunnel or went to sleep and f II off. His body was badly mangled by the car wheels. Coroner Cameron was called to the sceuo and his investigations bought out tho facts about as above stated. Letters and papers found on the body iudicatod that the yonug man was of a roaming disposition, working hero and there, but never long in oue place. A letter was found on the body from Miss May Wood, of Chica go, and Coroner Cameron telegraphed her for information concerning the dead man's relatives. In reply she gavo tho address of his brother, L, U. Sheldon, of Portland, and upon communicating with him, orders were received to ship the remains to Port land for Interment, which was ac cordingly dnuo Thursday morning. Mall. Nonsense Lullaby.

A SUICIDE AT .ROSEBURG Girl Hangs Hertelf With Close line From. Pear Tree. Ill, despondent at d weary of life, Mis Lillian Farrer, the beautiful and accomplished 21-year-old daughter of F. H. Farrer, superintendent of the Roseburg Water, Light and Power Company, brought her sufferings and troubles to a tragio end Wednesday eveniug by hanging herself iu a large pear tree back of the family home, in North Roseburg. For some tiruo past she has bocu engaged in stenography work at In tervals In local ollices and ou tho eve of her death, she called on a young lady friend in North Roseburg. Re turning home soon after nightfall sho informed members of her family that sho had received au Invitation to stay over night with this young lady friend, whose parouts are neighbors ol the Farrer family, aud theu took her departure, which was tho last she was seen by anyoue until her lifeless body was disooverod by her younger sister after daybreak this morning, dangling at the end of a rope attached to a limb of a large pear tree, which stands iu the door yard at the family home, her feet being but a few inches above the grouud. It appears that upon leaviug the room she secured a part of the cotton clothes lino and climbing upon a car penter's trestle or horse, fastened oue end of the rope securely to a limb of the pear tree then forming a slipknot, placed the loop over her head, so- cured it abont her ueck then stepped from the trcBtlo, a horrible death re sulting soon thereafter from strangu lation. An examination of the body on ,1116 following morning Indicated that life .had been extinct for some hours, hence it is probublo 'that the rash act was committed soon after she left the house on Weduesday evtuiug.

's iiiimonso enterprises iu Jackson couuty, returned homo Saturday from Sau Francisco to wihoh point he ac companied his brother, Col. Frank Ray, the Wall street operator and millionaire on his way cast after looking over his Jackson county holdings. Dr. Hay says the reports of the merging of tho Condor plant with tho Siskiyou Electric Power Company of Fall Creek is some w hat premature. Dr. Ray says the filing of articles of Incorporation of the Southern Oregon Power Company was made in California because of the offensive Eddy tax law, and that the filing of articles of this incorpor ation of new company was merely tho preliminary arrangements for a possiblo deal. Tho capital stock of tho Southern Oregon Power Co. is placed at $500,000 and tho incorpor ators are Jesse W. Churchill of Yreka, Alexander Bosborough, of Oakland, Frank II. Ray of Now York City, O. R. Ray of Oregon, aud H. O. Denson, Harvey Ycaman and II. C. Deusou of Sau Francisco.

Edwards, ln'Ctors for the California Sugar Pine Box & Lumber Coinpauy, hiving headquarters in Sau Franc I sc.', and operating mills in Oregon, California and Arizona, arrived in Grants Pass Monday morning from California, to inspect their company's business and mill pros rty iu this city. Mr. Ed wards only reniaiuel iu town until the 9:55 a. m. train, whin he left for Hilts, where his company is operat ing a big mill. Mr. Hollihan will remain iu Grauts Pass fur several days. Mr. Hollihan stated that his com pany has their yards iu better shape than for several seasons iat in that they have their surplus stock well cleaned up aud orders come iu at a rate that will preclude their carrying over any largo stock to next w-asoa. As to trade oouditions and prospects for next year. Mr. liollll sn thinks that they are of the best as there will be less than the usual quantity of lumber to be carried over aud the outlook it good for a largo demand for lumber in all the coast cities as well as for the export trade.

There is much rejoicing in South ern Oregon over tie notice flora Washington that the forest lands of Southern Oregou withheld from entry several yean ago, aro soon to be thrown open to buyers, settlers aud squatters. From preparations being made, it is evidont that there will be a great rush for those lauds as soou as they are released. Tho lands hero are not the regular forest reserves, but they cover a large area of Josephine, Curry aud Jackson counties, iu Oregon, and parts of Sis kiyou aud Del Norte counties, In California. Practically all this land is mountainous, and not much of it will be available for immediate tarmiug, except on a small scale, cr as stock range. Somo of it is covered with sparse timber, but a great por tion of it has a dense growth of Or aud pine, with considerable sugar pine, which ranks close to the famous redwood iu point of general value. There is uo question but that the throwing open of these lands will bo of great benefit to this section of the state, as the reserves surrounds Jose phine county ou three sides, practi cally "bottling" it up. It likewise was detrimental to mining progress as prospectors are alow iu prospecting hinds that aro held iu close title by thh Government A good many squatters have already boen planed on locations, and others will be taken up rapidly, as the uumber of sawmills aud the great demand for lumber ni'iko timber lands, even in the more remote parts, of exceptional value. So jio of the luud is yet uusurveyed. Following is a complete list of those lauds included in the Rogue Rivor forest reserve withdrawal in Southern Oregon, which are to be immediately thrown opeu to settle ment by tho local laud ofllcers at Roseburg, and which are to be open to entry aud filing at the conclusion of a 90 day period of advertisement i In township 40 south, range 8 west, sectious 11) to 80, both Inclusive, and sections 82 to 8ft, both inclusive.
