T he J acksonville M iner 4 PiratesWin;Double Header for Sunday • A The Jacksonville Pirates, erst while basement team which two weeks ago started the long climb from the bottom position, won an other game played on the Medford diamond, last Sunday from the Medford Eagles, 8-3. Hughes for the locals and Coffman for the Eagles were on the mound, Hughes earning 15 strikeouts for the day. Ben Coffman, although getting but five fans, kept hits well scattered and it was by no means his hurling that lost the game for his team. The Jacksonville boys are begin ning to find their place under the baseball sun and look well with other valley teams. They easily out played their feathered assailants last week-end and it may be that the end of the season will find Jacksonville ranking team in the league. Coffman, local man who swapped teams for more activity, appears to be one of the most val uable men the Eagles have to date, getting a three-base hit out of the encounter. Next Sunday a double header, strictly a benefit game, is sched uled for the Medford fair grounds diamond. Jacksonville will play Talent while Grants Pass is to tan gle with Medford. Entire proceeds will be given to Mrs. John Logan, widow of one of last season’s play ers in the league. Games will be called at 1 o’clock. Tickets are on sale in Jacksonville at The Nugget confectionery. » The Editor Speaking not on the fact we were American citizens, but more on just how much money our parents did or did not happen to possess. Inasmuch as public schools are a fundamental American institution, and inasmuch as financial dis crimination is contrary to the principles for which this nation was founded, we believe it is inconsistent for the faculty of our schools to permit such weeding out of some students for the more pleasant activities of school life. We sincerely believe that, if it is impossible to furnish the kiddies a picnic, lunch or whatever marks the celebration without tacking on an admis sion fee it would be far better to abandon the idea entirely. We feel that the poor devil and his family who is hard up enough now and has troubles enough should not be forced to see his children further persecuted because of the uneven distribution of the eternal dol lar— America's only god. automatically fed press in the fu- ture.

EUGENERS TO PLACER If 30 acres of river land on the Venable ranch below Ruch pros pect satisfactorily, Hermon und Tittle, Eugene contractors now lo cated on the property, will employ about 30 men on a double shift, and will have work for two yeurs dura tion, according to Mr. Tittle, who expects to start actual placer min ing in about two weeks. The con tractors, who are leasing the land from Ralph Smith on the royalty basis, have been working on the ground for about a month, and are doing extensive prospecting with a cubic yard dragline with a capacity of <>00 yards in eight hours. Efforts have been centered on the digging of a bedrock drain reuching a depth of 14 or 16 feet, which will be filled with corrugated pipe, or wrinkled tin in the con tractors* vernacular, and which will be backfilled in cleaning the bed rock. The miners are using a mov able sluice. ice. They also ulso possess atj ¡ujf and gasoline trucWz electric welder i and all equipment to do their own repair work on the job. They plan to soon connect with the electric line through the valley in prepara tion for their undertaking. The ground they are working has been washed by the river and is useless lot farming. The men huve made one cleanup, which produced fair results, mid which proved very intriguing in the opinion of Mr. Smith, owner of the property. He admitted unfamiliar ity with the elusive metal, and that he all but discarded a sizeable nug get for a rock. Hermon and Tittle, who installed the Salem water system and are well known contractors throughout the state, investigated the entire Applegate country, Mr. Tittle said, before deciding on their present lo cation. This site was pointed out to them by “Doc” Reddy, well known Medford mining man. L. P. Hermon has centered his interest in mining for many years, having spent 12 or 15 years in the Dawson district in Alaska. CONGRATULATE THE CLASS OF 1932 Yes, sir! Real congratulations!
