The JACKSONVILLE MINER Page 6 CARAVAN VISITS JUBILEE Cable-Climbing Frog Ben Coffman Discovers Freak of Nature While Seeking Golden Treasures. Tales emanating from California of a frog which leaped 12 feet to win a handsome purse lately were belittled almost to microscopic nothingness this week when Benj. (Warhorse) Coffman discovered a cable-ahinneying frog galloping up mine cable of workings here where he has been employed. A few days ago Benj. was about to hoist a mine bucket laden with treasured pay-dirt when he espied a cunning green frog some nine feet up the five-eighths inch cable going hand-over-hand for the windlass atop the workings on property formerly owned by Mr. Emil Britt. Arrival at top of hole, however, resulted in the blinking wart-spreader descending without pause or premeditation to bottom again, where it was found perched on bucket bail awaiting another ride to the outside world at quit- ting time. Elmer Adams and Ted Larsen. associates of Coffman in the mine, will vouch for the authenticity of his statements, declared Benj. as The Miner prepared to give print ed dignity to the curiosity. « MB Many compliments have been uttered for the Portland Chamber of Commerce, which is sending a caravan of representative business and professional men to southern Oregon for the Diamond Jubilee celebration June 3 to 9. Staff Photographer J. Verne Shangle. on the alert, clicked a swell tintype of Medford's escort of the l*ortland gentlemen, but lost his snips before he could whack off a galvanized portrait of the escortees.

E Venden, M L Venden and Mr. Seltzer, have baptized over 130 people into the belief which Mr. Seltzer has been preaching with enthusiasm the past several weeks. He reported also that the meet ings to follow at Norris store are the most Important and interest ing thus far.

In the short sentence, "To be or not to be.” by transpositions alone it is possible to make 2,759.009 errors. Or. in other words, darned if The Miner hasn't been doing pretty well by its readers in pass ing up so much opportunity to Capture Footpad sakes that will be on exhibition during the jubilee only. So val uable la the collection that at pres- ent it la stored in safe deposit boxes in Medford. The collection consists of the personal treasure chest and 12 of the original contents that belonged to Mary Howell of London It is reported that Mary Howell was an aunt of William Penn's second wife, and was attached to the Eng lish court of James II. Mary How ell accompanied W limn Penn and his second wife to America in 1799 on Mr. Penn's second American trip. The chest bears evidence of the finest workmanship of its day. The woodwork, with its rosewood ve neer. is of the finest, but possibly its greatest attraction is In the rich linen brocade paneling. Woven into the brocade are the Initials of the original owner and. apparently.’ the date of its gift. The preserva tion of the brocade through its 249 years of known existence is re markable; nevertheles time lias left its mark. Tiie collection of contents is of (»articular feminine interest, but the workmanship can be appre ciated by any artist. Of note is the pincushion with hand-made pins, with craftsmanship so fine that ■ ■VE» ■ Friday-Saturday Readers of the public print have been known to become severely critical of errors which appear in newspapers and recently some statistician, whose name will be emblazoned across printers' heav- en forever, has worked out some interesting figures concerning that great art of Making Typographi cal Errors. The number of chances for mis takes in one column of print, he has figured, is 70.000 to one. In an ordinary newspaper column there are 10.000 letters; there are seven wrong positions that a letter may be put in; there are 70,000 chances to make an error, and millions of THE PICTURE 1933 COMPELLED HOLLYWOOD TO MAKE! “WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD |W Sunday - Monday Lionel Barrymore in “THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN” Fay Bainter—Mae Clark Tom Brown—Una Merkel Mary Carlisle—Onslow Stevens Tuesday-Wednesday 2 FEATURES CHARLES RUGGLES in “GOODBYE LOVE” !
