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.

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. (They arc, reading er. riding from left to

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

into the brocade are the Initials of

years of known existence is re­
markable; nevertheles time lias

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

necessary for full appreciation. As
nearly as can be ascertained this
pincushion was the gift of Eng­
land's queer to Mary Howell, her
lady-in-waiting. Making pincush­
ions fur her ladies was apparently
u hobby of the then queen. The
queen's instructions were that the
pins were to be used In clothing
the prominent family dead. Some
of the pins have been used for thia
purpose.
