The newi has been received here of the death in a horrible accident oo upper Rogue river of Jack Douke and family together with their team. The remains of Mr. and Mrs. Doake and their three chidlren were recently foond at the foot of a precipice oo the Medford-Klamath connty road near Prospect postoflice. The wagon and horses were also found at the same place all crushed aud the horses dead. The terrible acideut wai evidently caused by the team running away aud dashing over the bluff, aud it evident ly took place folly three weeki before the bodies were found as thev were so badly decomposed as badly to be rec ognized, and also badly mangled. Mr. Doake formerly resided on Williams, creeke and he left last Spring by team for Eastern Oregon with bis family with the intention of locating iu Klamath or Lake ccunties. It was evident that they had decided to re turn to this section and were coming to Rogoe River Valley by way of the Crater Lake read, when they were killed and only foond Ly chance, so the meager report is that has reached their former neighbors.

Montmorency. THE BUSINESS POINTERS The Alder Gulch Mining & Tunnel Company, of which A.Osburu is pres ident aud W. T. Perry is mcrutary aud treasurer, and whose oliice is iu Grsuts Pasa, aud their property in the Oscar creek district, is one of the recently organized mining companies of South ern Oregon that has placed stork on market The articles of i.. corporation have a plan for the protection of min ority stockholders that is a new fea ture 11 n the orgauizatiou of mining companies aud that is that the original owuan of the mine cannot own but half of the itock thus making the new stockholders equal in the mauagemeut of the company's affaira with the or ganizers. On deeding the mine to the company the original owners do not take their half of the total stock at once iu payment for the property, us ii usually doue, but slock is ouly Is sued to them share for share so flint as the half that Is to be sold for equip ment purposes is sold to investors. Tbe iuteutiou of this plan is to render it impossible lor the mine owners, should they be so inclined, to "squeeze" the small stockholders, and lo enable all the holders of stock to be on an equal footing. No free stock Is to be given out nor is any favoritism to be shown. The mine of the Aider Gulch Min ing & Tunnel Company is ou Oscar creek, uear Murphy, and iu the viciu ity of a number of the most promising mining properties aud their properly has bueu so far developed that it has proven to huve a large quantity of high grado ore, so located as to he mined at a very low cost. So soon as suflluient stock has beeu placed to raise the required capital the mine will he equipiod with.'a complete mill for handlint the ore, aud as the man agers of the company are all practical men mining they should make a sue cess of their venture. .
