A Greet! Game.
The ball game at Medford kit San-
day between Grants Pass and Med
ford was undoubtedly the best game
played in Southern Oregon this sea
son, it being fall of life and singer
from start to finish. The first score
was made by Grants Pass in the sec
ond inning while Medford never saw
home till the eighth, when "Pub"
Isaacs rapped one ont for three bases
and scored, his being the only three
base hit daring the game. At the end
of the ninth the game was still a
tie and neither tsam scored till the
11th when Medford brought in the
extra run which won the game,
with a final score of 2 to 1. This
makes the second 11 inning game
played by these two teams this year,
the first being won by Grants Pass
with a score of 8 to 9.
The Medford and Grants Pass teams
ill not play again till July 4th and
Oth, when they will play the closing
games of the season on the local
A. A. C. grounds, these promises to
be the best games of the season as
each team is making special prepara
tions and are confident of winning.
The Jacksonville and Ashland
teams played a close game in Ashland
last Sunday, Ashland winning by
a score of 6 to 6. This is the first
game Ashland has won this season
and it will probably be the last as
they play their next two games with
Grants Pas.
The ball games played at Medford
Thursday and Friday between the
Roseburg and Medford teams, both
ended in a decisive viotory for the
Medford bunch. The game of Thur
sday being a very close aud hotly
contested affair the score being 8 to 2,
while tbs Friday gams was a regolar
merry-go-round for Medford with the
score 9 to 0. These teams have one
more game Saturday afternoon before
Roseburg will return home with their
tale of woe, it is too bad ws all could
n't have a chance with the Umpqaa
lads to show them what kind of
"stuff" they have to bnok up against
when they come Into the Rogue River
ooo n try.
The Roseburg team whioh was to
have played here Thursday baoked
out for some unknown teason and are
going to play three straight games
with Medford, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
The Grants Pass and Ashland teams
have their first game on the local A.
A. C. grounds this Sunday.

W. I Sweetland's team made a lively
run down Sixth street Monday, having
been frightened by the Medford auto,
which came upon them unexpectedly
while standing in front of the Sweet
land market. The brake was sat and
the rein tied around the brake rod so
the horses had to pnll with the reins,
but they made good time until they
struck a big heap of gravel and granite,
whioh had a tendency to slacken their
gait, bat they finally collided with a
telephone pole iu front of the Bine
Front blacksmith shop. The pole of
the wagon was broken, but the horses
were uninjured.

R. W. Veatoh, who is noted for
oorios of all- kinds has a novelty
which perhaps cannot be duplicated
in the oonntry. It is a display of rat
tlesnake rattles which in the aggre
gate represents snake growth of 400
years or more and were taken from 45
snakes from to 25 years of age. The
display is arranged on a cardboard to
spell the word Oregon. Mr. Veatch
does not hold that these are one of the
natural products of Oregon, bat he is
loyal to his state and believes the
biggest and best of everything can be
produced here.
Royal Brown, a lad of 8 years," met
with an accident Monday whioh might
be called a fortunate one. Tie was
going out to one of the mills with his
father, Everett Brown, for a load of
lumber. Royal was riding alone on
the hounds of the empty wagoo, and
his father riding a wheel hone turned
to caution the lad about a rough place
in the road just in time to see the boy
fall between the wheels. The foar
horses were stopped quickly, but not
until one of the heavy wheels was
against the boy's hoad. Had the
wagon gone a foot farther the boy
wonld have been killed. At it was he
has a laoerated ear, which Inconven
iences him but slightly.

A deposit of gold bars and nuggets
was made Monday at the First
National Batik that was positive
proof that Southern Oregon ba gold
mines that produce gold in paying
quantities and that if located in the
uiiiob boomed state of Nevada would
be heralded far and wide aud start
a rash of prospectors. This deposit
was brought in by L. O. Hinging
aud Norman Seaman from the mine
that they and H. N. Round tree, of
Portland, are operating 16 miles west
of Kerby on the head of Chetco river.
Their mibe is a curious combination
for it is a rock formation, yet they mine
it with a giant. The gold Is found
in a rotten porphry dike and the
rock is so soft that it can be' readily
washed by water ' from the giant.
Much of the gold comes out in large
pieces and this was brought to the
bank as found, bat all the fine gold
was run in bricks. Tbere were
several thousand dollara'worth in the
lot and it made a handsome profit to
the owners of the mine.
