The win . nors in Friday's double handed oon test wore Lock wood and Savage, the Oftlioe team, wlio drilled SC inches in 18 luinotes. Johu and Waters of Murphy and late of Suuipter. diillod 85 inches aud Biligo and Harrington of Granite Hill, The Handry brothers of Gold Ruy drilled inches in a littlo less than 10 minutes aud wore compelled to give op the con teat on account of a bad out on the hand which one of them had received sonio time previously. The purse was t-25. Immediately following this waa a ingle handed drilling cotitsct. There were throe entrioi for this match; Johns of the Murphy team, Tom Brinkorhofr of Galine and Ed Friday of the name place. Friday did not drill, leaving the contest to Brinker hoff and Johns.

On ao count fof delays occasinnud by break ing the rock to be drilled aud the cold and stormy mature of the afternoon, this match waa Anally deferred till the following day and wjs won by Savage who drilled 2'J7, iuclioa to 2G by Heligo. Promising Cinnabar Mine. A recent dispatch from Medford atatea that the flattering showing made by recent rntorts of orea from the cinnabar iniuea of the Muadowa quicksilver district, of Jackson county, near Trail, Um caused a re vival of interests in the mining of memory in this suctlou. Eighty pounds of mercury to the too Is pro duced by the properties of the Knguu Kiver Quicksilver Mining Company, the aliuro holder of which are Mod--'ford men. The ore reduces easily uud is uulfnrni iu value. This iniiio has proiiuced cousiderablu quicksilver in recent years, but its development hits been slow, greater capital being uPdud to open it op aud adequately equip It. A small plant is planed, for development purposes luululy. Tlio retort Installed has a capacity of 1400 pounds of ore per day. The mine Is opened to a depth of nearly 200 feet, and the vein shows up well throughout There are a half-score of other cln ualiar mine's in the Meadows dis trict, all of which are receiving at tention, and all carry values lu mer cury, with also a fair showing in gold and silver. A numbo are opened to a depth of 150 and 2(H) feet, with veins viiryin. In widtli from ten inches to three and four feet. The number of eicolleut prospects lu the district ,mukes the Meadows cue of promise as a future producer of mercury. New Strike at Monumental.

Mrs. Florence Wilbur, of tipukauc, Wash , Is paying In r parents, Mr. aud Mrs J. T. I.ayton of l'rovolt, a visit aud also her ninny friend, at that place who welcome her returu onct more. Mrs. Wilbur has bevu iu very poor health for the past two years aud being unoovered In drifting. The ore ia said to carry large values in gold and copper. The Monumental is one of the biggest gold-copper propositions in the big copper belt of Southern Oregon aud Northern Cali fornia. Miners by Winter, Farmers by Summer. Cobel & Ilcuson, the Silver creek miners, having a water supply that never fails, have fluished the work of piping off the surface on the piece of ground they were working this win ter, hut will lie compiled to wait until the spring rains cease in order to bottom up tho ground and secure the fruit of thoir labors. As the "dump"ia limited on this particular piece of ground, and nearly all the gold lies near tho bedrock, the top dirt is piped off aud disposed of la the most expeditious manner possible, while the bottom layer of auriferous gravel is worked later. At present there is too much water in Silver creek to carry nut tho finishing operations. The golden harvest will come later in the year. Besides being the owner of a profit able placer, Cobel & Jleusou have a neat home place on the higher creek benches, irrigating the ground by water from a spring. All sorts of vegetables and fruits thrivo luxuriantly in the mountain soil and the young fruit trees are making wonderful growth. The strawberries especially which are grown here, have au exquisite flavor that is snrpassed nowhere. IicVs are kept aud produce a quality of honey which is of etcel leut flavor, being made principally from the honey dew, that product of the wilderness which gives to some wild honey its peculiarly pleasant flavor. A Short Placer Year. The rains of tho present week have had an invigorating e licet on the placer industry which lias during the present winter found itself in hard Hues on ,uocooiit of the scarcity of water which la the sinews of war to the placer. After some alx weeks of absolutely dry weather, and u week of threatening and light showers, the sluice gates of the akics wore this woek thrown open and several heavy rains have occurred that have greatly augmented the streams of Southern Oregon. Thu spring is now so far advanced that It la unreasonable to expect any long continued flow of water during the remainder of the mining season, but the water that has como Is thank fully received in the placers. Homi of the mines did not have eiiouuh water to clean up, prior to the pro- sout week.,. These conditions obtain Hirinoipally ill those mines that derive their water supply from short streams and gulches. Tho greater number of the plaoers that have water rights from the larger creeks hare been and still re in steady operation tliouuli the work is often on a smaller scale of ulllolenoy than in a wetter year. The aeasou of 11104 6 will go on rec ord aa an off year for the pincers. Similar seasons have occurred be- lure ami will dnuMloss occur again, but fortunately for the pltcer enter prise of Southern Oregon, they are few anil far between. think Southern Oregon climate will probably he a benefit to her.

It is built like a city and is growing rapidly us the years roll by. It lias one olticial uowspacr, tbe Hogue ltiver Courier, ami three iiou-ollleial papers, which could not be suported if not in a land of plenty.

The Grants Pass mineral exhibit continues to grow and not a week passe that new samples are not re oeivod from mines in the Southern Oregon distilct. Tbe exhibit I an eye-openor to strangers and to some of the resident as well, in regard to the extent of the mineral field and the number of the mines, a well a to the character of ore which I pro. dnced. The variety of mineral produced in this section is surprising to those who are unacquainted with conditions bore. Gold ia of oourse the mineral first lu importance, with copper second. Nickel, Iron, mercury, platinum, coal and asbestos are aruoug the mineral which eiiit in Josephine county aud each one offer encouragement for profitable future iudustry. Josephine county yields to no sec tion on the coast In variety of minerals or the quality of their ore. Southern Oregon I brim full of op portunity iu the line of prospecting and mining aud yet ba whole dis tricts of mineral ground which are virtually untouched. Champlain Dredge Soon to Re sume Work. The Champlin dredge on Foots oroek is closed down temporarily to make a change in the operative power. Electricity will be used hereafter, the line from the plant of the Condor Water & Power Co. hav ing been recently completed. Up to the present time steam power lias boon used. The new power will no an improvement in convenience, economy and general effectiveness. Tills dredge has boon iu operation long enough to warrant the statement that it is a thorough sucoesa aud a profitable enterprise. Its operation ia limited to no particular season but will bo continued throughout the en tiro year, there being sufllolent water iu Foots oruek to float the dredge at all times, the stream being dammed for this purpose. The compauy has ground on which, the drudge may be oierated for ninny years. Tiie success of this enterprise means much to the mining industry of Southern Oregon and dredging will be hereafter an important branch of placer work. There are a number of districts in Southern Oregon where dredges cau be profitably oierated and their installation will probably fol low. Samples for Minerals Exhibit. Some very handsome siecimeus of gold and oopior ore were rooolved at the mining exhibit from the Gold Hluudard mine of Plckot creek, the properly of II. E. Booth. Tho ore Is s iid to carry copper at tho rate of 10 per cent and assay values of $40 per ton in gold have been scoured, Iho velu Is about 18 feet in widtli and is being develojied luto a valuable property. W. M. Turner brought lu some ore from a new find near Korby which gives assay values of $10 to the tou in gold. Tho ore is peculiar lu ap pearance, being nearly black iu oolor. It cornea from a good sized vein. High grade ore iu small lota bought. -W. U. Wright place.

Ho ia running au arrastru and makes cxoiiscs and also is doing a largo amount of work ou his ledge. We are having a ulce raiu. Crops were not. needing rain but it eomes iu good time us it will keep up the ir rigatlng business. From the out loon crops bid fair for a good yield as all kinds of graiu la far ad vanced. In a short time people will commence cutting hay. No irrigation will be needed for the first crop of all kinds of hay. Some people arc shipping lamltry to Grants Pass from here. Poultry commands a good price in the Pass. Ihere are farina for sale here which consist of good land. This is a good stock country as there is a large open range with plenty of living streams that run water the whole year. Fever and ague are never known unless brought hero from other places.

We are much pleased with the magnanimous spirit exhibited by tbe Simmon Cameron & Logan mine owner in tbeir dealing Willi the widow and orphans of the two men who were killed by a cave-in while employed in tbe mine. They have practically pensioned them for a term of years. This coming from them a free will offering make it stand in contrast with those wbo are so close fisted witb their money. Tbey should receive commendation from all lovers of justice. After repeated waroinga, the saloon keeper of Kerby persists in notorious' ly Violating sections 1U74, 1975, 107? and 1U7S of tho codes aud statutes of tbe state of Oregon. On Sunday the 10th of March, being the day observed as Sunday by the code, referred to to in section 1974, tbe saloon was op-n in defiance to the laws of Ore gon. People were witnesaea ot drunk arda reeling about; among the drunka waa a postmaster in tbe service today. The doctor of Kerby opened the saloon door and observed the keeper serving drinks. He took exceptions to the same when toe saloon keeper came out and followed the doctor aud used foul profanity, and threatened to smite him, at the same time raising his fists, to carry out the throat. This was more than the doctor could ataud aud in aelf defense, he warded off the blow and landed two counters upon the cranium, nearest the soft spot. He repeated the same until his antagonist was con vinced that discretion waa the better part of valor. Let every point couut two tor home and oouutry. We stand iu defense of a sobor manhood. We cry halt as the demon drink is endeavoring to drag our children, from our firesides as the recruits fur future saloon habitues. We are lovers of our American principles aud ideals, and ask every American citizen and foreigner to assist us to keep invio late laws aud fundamental principles of our American liberty, aud tree in stitutions. Fair play, law aud order. love aud justioe are our hostage, let uo unholy hand polute the pure stream from which they flow. Henry Klopper, Merlin Notes.
