Clyde J"ter-we out here this week witb several mining men from Grants Pass looking over our mineral re sources. A pleastnt surprise party took place at the residence ot W. S. Bailey on the 23d iust, it being the birthday of his sen, Victor. Theodore Payne, one of Provolt's rust lew, wax at Davidson this week on business couuected with the rental of ttie Relikojif hop yard. Miss Pearl Davidson, who held down a position as clerk at the JNew York Rankut Store at Grants Purs dur ing the holidays, has ret n rued home. Douey Brothers are making the best nse ot the present ran of water, and thiugb about their placer mine move iu a lively way. Thete eeutlemen are industrious men and are deserving of success. ' Mr. Isliaiu who recently purchased an interest in the 'Woodpecker placer mine is camped on the premises and preparing for the season's run and says he is going to prospect his claim from rim to rim. The party recently given np the val ley at the residence of Wm. Karris did not terminate so pleasantly as on other occasions; it is reported that one of the attendants was peremptorily ohallongedby a young sobool marm, and he went borne early. The Mountain Lion mine is steadily working their ledge and running the mill; the lower tonnel is being-driven ahead by contract work and they have another level above this which is al most in to the long shoot of high grade ore. The Mountain Lion mine nas gone through qmte an ordeal of hard knocks and legal entangle ments that few other mines could stand, bnt that is convincing argu ment of its true merit.

The body of a niau wad found last week iu Rogue river ne.r Marial, but it was so mutilated and decomposed that no marks of identification could be found. No person has been drowned so far as kuown iu that sec tion of the river and the following letter ha been received by the Courier for publication, iu the expectation that the mystery may be cleared up as to the identity of the unfortunate man. So far as known no man has boen drowned this Fall or Winter iu npper Rogue river whose body was not found. It is irobahle, judging by the heavy boots worn by the man that the body found at Marial was that of some lone prospector who fell iuto Rogue river or some of its lower tribu taries and was drowned. The river being very swift ' and cold the body would not float, bat would be rolled along the bottom and laterally worn in contact witb the rocks, unless by a chanoe of the current it should be thrown on the shore, as was the case of this body. The following is the letter in full telling of the grewsome find: Marial P. O., Curry County, Ore. Jan. 27, 1906. Editor Courier, Grants Pass, Ore. Dear Sir : The late heavy rains in Rogue river washed ashore and left dinging to the debris the mutilated body of a man, one leg ana ootn arms and the head being severed from the trunk or body. No olothing Was on the body except part of the under clothing and one heavy leather boot of the old style make. Owing to the state of the body and the time requir ed to hold an inquest, we have six of us decided to bury the remains and then notify the corooer. There has been inquiries made by a man by the name of Mitohell, also by a lady from , your town requesting parties along the river to keep a lookout for a corpse. R. L. Joues of Marial P. O. was the discoverer of the body while atteuding his traps. Any information will be gladly fur nished upon enquiry. Respectfully JAMES WALTON aud six .other residents, Big Power Station at Gold Hill H. O. Perkins, the mining engineer and surveyor, made a trip to Gold Hill Sunday. Mr. Perkins states that the Gold Hill Canal Company, the Indianapolis company that has bought out the Houck waterpownr aud electrio station aud flour and quartz mill at Gold Hill, will begin next week the work of putting iu a new canal to supply water for the big electric power station that they are to build. This canal will be three-fourths of a mile long, large enough to carry the entire volume of water in the river and will develop ifl.OOO horsepower. This Company has lately added a 500 horsepower electrio generator to their present station and have a force of men stringing wires to the Million aire mine in the Blackwell district, three miles southwest of Gold Hill. This mine is owned by another In diauapolii company which is install ing a 10-stamp mill to be operated by electricity. 'A This farmkk rkaps what ha has pre viously sowed.

These in a gTeen state, are filled with moisture and chemical constituents. The roasting develops and fills these cells with a volatile essential oil (aroma). This vapor izes and a certain quantity escapes if exposed to the air. In the usual package this esHential oil vapor or gas continues to escape, iu an ordinary sealed can there is present sufticieat air to oiidi'.e and spoil it just as if the can were open. The vacuum can as now developed and perfected, consists of a can, strong and easily closed, wnich is filled with coffee, then plaoed in a lacaain chamber, the air withdrawn, and cover sealed while in the vacuum In order to save all the aroma possible, the coffee is packed immediately after roasting and before the essential oil has had time to vaporize and escape. It takes a strong can to resist the air pressure from the outside when the air from the inside is removed. An empty one will collapse like a paper bag. If a can is filled with tea and the air exhausted, the heads of the can will smip in and remain concave. But the heads of coffee cans will in a short time become distended as the vaporized oil produces a pressure on the inside sometimes greater than the air pressure on the outside, thus the head of the can will be distended. This will explain the difference iu appearance between the vacunm cans containing tea and otiffee. After beiug in the vacuum can for awhile the vapor is re-absorbed. This assures a perfect blending of all the different flavors of the various coffees that make op the blend, producing a very superior coffee. Ex haustive, thorough and practical application of the vacuum process baa demonstrated the success and perfec tion of the vacuum Coffee can.
