The following is a recipe for a whitewash that has been proven to be wry durable, and will no rub off, nor wish off readidly. It is easily pre pared aud is Inexpneslve: "Soak one quarter of a pound of gloe over night in tepid water. Ti e next day put it into a tin vessel with a qnsrt of water, set the vessel in a kettle of water over a fire, keep it there till it boils, then stir until the glue is dissolved. Next pot from six to eight pounds of perls white into another vessel into hot water and stir until it has the appearance of milk of lime. Add the dissolved glue, called sizing, stir well and apply in the or diuary way while still warm. Except on very dark and smoky wails and oelliugs a single orat is sufficient. It is said that this is nearly equal iu brilliancy to lino white. Paris white is sulphate of baryta, which may be found in drug or paint stores. Oio. D. Walter is repairing his llOllHC.

OREGON, MEKLIX j W I L 1) E 11 V I L L E DAVIDSON j Mr. Mutz is now taking in his pipe and mat -rial with pack horses, mak ing outfitting both laborious and ex pensive, but it ia fully expected that results from future operations will repay the company backing up this enterprise many times over for their present outlay. It is to the persever ance of such men as Mr. Metz that this country owes its best producing gold mines. Ed F. Terry, formerly superinten dent of the Galice Consolidated placer mines, is back from a trip to Indiana, where he has been spending the sum mer w 1th friends and relatives. Mr. Terry Is owner of a placer mine on Silver creek and will operate there this Winter either for himself or f r Mr. Metz, who is opening up tne big basin with a tunnel 1200 feet In length through solid rock. Upon the comple tion of this tunnel, which is expected any day, large bodies of rich grave) will be available for the giants and a wagon road to oonnoct with the one from Galice to Merlin will be built aud an immense hydraulic plant in stalled Merlin is hitving a boom. A great deal of interest is centered in aud around Merlin just now and being in the center of a great fruit prodcuiug district, and surrounded by some of Josephln e conuty's best producing mines, both quartz and placer, it ie very favorably totaled as a trading and distributing point. A. U. Cousin who purchased the entire tnwoslte, has had It platted in some 1500 lnt 60x1 00, which he is putting ou the market at from 50 to 9150 each. U to the present no lots have been sold except for building pnrjioses, and car pouters have been kept busy for the past six or seven months priucijially on store buildings. The sarno energy Mr. Cousin has shown in the upbuild iiig of tho Galice mines he is now de voting to the tewusite aud no one iu the county has spent more time or money in advertising the resources of Southern Oregon than he and certainly no one is better posted or quailfledto do so, as he has spout 18 years in this particular district. His hopes for the future if Merlin were based ou his knowledge of conditions, both locally and abroad, and with the millions of feet of lumber directly tributary to tli ib point and the prospects of some great producing mines almost at the doors, a thriving towu was bound to result. With the recent deal on tho Gold standard mine ou Pickett creek whereby some Eastern people will take np it development, a, great deal of new trade will result to the town and it is expeoted a Mueller will be estab ludied there. five stores are ni w running there aud doing a splendid business, while a flue new hotel is under construction. A saw mill, mii and door factory and box factory will Im pnt iu to work np the lnnihe now being hauled there and a railroad up Jump-off Joe to the timber is pro poned. Mr. Coosiu has been East during the pant month and is expecting partie daily who will take up the lumbering end of the proposition. From BOO to 1 100 boxes of peaches have been shipped dally from thi point which speaks well for tho sur rounding country from a fruit raising point of view. Several residences will be put up this Fall to accmuiodatu the people who wish to move in and send thei children to school, as there are no available houses lu the town. The big flume of the Galice Consul idited Co. has been steudily pushed up the bed ot Ualice creek and the company is now in position to drive iu with its giauts the large 'bodies of rich placer ground near the mouth o the creek. The exceptionally dry season has iu no way interfered will tho progress of this work and by the time the rains set it 1 expected every thing will be iu read hicks to move a great deal of gravel. The flume is Ml feet 2 inches wide, built in the bed rock all the way for a riis'nnce of ISiHI feel, on a grade of 3 inches In 13 feet, and with the largo volume of water available everything in the canyon will ho run through ami it u in m-1 into Kogue river.
