tho receipts of public setvioo insti

ion. The sbowinj; of nn iuerense of
over. 100 per cent in one branch in
five months is an indication that a
i.iiv 5 liii'ronslne ranidly in busi
ness and imputation.
The revenues of the Pacific Tele
phone company from its toll lines in
tho Medford exchange have grown
durinc the past five months from a
little over $.100 in June to nearly
SS00 in October, and the November
business will show a corresponding
increase.
These revenues arc those derived
from long-distauco calls alone, and
the local exchange shows an equal
increase.
The company has made much im
provemcnt in its service lately,
eliminating the old" ten-p"arly lines as
fast as possible, and have expended
$40,000 in improvements during the
iiast season and will use $20,000
more during tho next 90 days.
The presence of H. T. Parkinson
and Mr. Constantino of tho traffic
department of the company enr!y
this vrcek shows that Medford is get
ting a place on the telephone mnp,
and that her itniortnncc is such that
she has a right to and will demand a
first-class service, and this now

(United Trss Leased Wlr.)
EUOBNK. Or., Nov. 17. A
searching party, consisting of Su
pervisor SelU and htree forest rang
ers, left Eugene loday to search for
Marion Unrd, a forest ranger, and
son of Q. F. Hard of Kugene, who
left here ten days ago for his sta
tion at Rossland, Crook county, and
who has not reached his destination.
It is feared ho hns perished in the
Hiiow storm that has been raging in
the Cascades for the last week. The
wires to KoSsland were recovered
yesterday, after having been down
for three days, and Supervisor Seltz
was advised of the non-nrrival of
Hurt.
Hurt left for Holland, which lies
beyond the Cascades, over tho old
military road. Supervisor Selti also
telephoned Rossland to start a
searching party from there. Seltz
party will be followed by a six
liorse team with provisions.
The fear that Hurt hns perished
is strengthened by the fact that two
men who started for the same desti
nation by a different route several
days iigo were compelled to turn
back oil account of the storm.

CLAIMS
r
(United Press Leased 'Wire.)
CnERRY, 111., Nov. 17. Fearing
that the surviving miners of the St.
Paul mine disaster will start riot
iug when the bodies of the victims
nre brought to the surface, two com
panics of state militia arrived here
early today and have surrounded
the mine shaft.
The miners are in an ugly mood
because they claim that tho company
officials sacrificed lives in order to
shvo property.
Another company is being held in
readiness at Monmouth and will be
hurried to this town in case their
services aro needed.
Captain nail, who is commanding
the troops, offered the services of
his men to assist in recovering the
bodies, and most of tho soldiers have
laid aside their anns and gone to
work.
Although thero is considerable
restlessness apparent among the
miners, they have not resorted to nny
violence.

Before' tha Oregon Bar Association,
Ex-Senator Fulton Bitterly
Denounces-the
Trial. "
(United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTf-iND, Or., Nov. 17. In
speaking of the report thnt Francis
J. ITeney had been appointed an as
sistant attorney-general to prosecute
land-fraud cases in Oregon, the
speech of ex-Senntor Charles V
Fulton before 300 members of the
Oregon Bar association yesterday
created a sensation.
Without allusion to Judge Dunn or
Francis J. Honey by nnme, he cx-
corciated the trial judge and prose
cutor in the case of the People of
California ugaiust Eugene Schmitz,
saying that the prosecutor was un
fair an dthat the trial judge showed
a disregard of the rights of the de
fendant to n fair and impartial jury.
He said the appellate court did
only its duty when it reversed the
verdict of guilty against former
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco.
Fulton suid in pnrt:
"I state without any reservation
whatever, as a result of careful
reading and consideration of the de
cision, that had the court failed to
decide as it did, it would havo dis
credited itself and the judiciary of
the country.
"They could not have decided oth
erwise without violating their of
ficial ouths nnd pleading guilty to a
degree of cowardice and pusillnuim-
ty that would have justly earned
for them tho enduring contempt of
the bench and bar of the nation.
"I do not contend thnt the record
disclosed the innocence of Schmitz.
I do contend, however, that he was
entitled to a fair nnd impartial trial
and thnt tho record disclosed not
only that ho had been denied such,
ut that the character of the trial in
the lower court, in its ullor disregard
of the most simple and elementary
principles of justice nnd decency,
was rarely if over surpassed by Jef
frey in his most vigorous and vi
cious examples of judicial tyranny
and depravity."
Local Men Organize Company for
Purpose of Developing Mining
Property In Southern
Oregon.
In the early days of goiu discov
ery in Southern Oregon, u certain
crunk in Josephine county was a jo 1ft!
among tho miners--that is, those of
the tcudcrfeet who attempted to dig
the yellow metal from its bars wen1
termed suckers.
Pretty soon some' of the "mioU
ers" begun to find rich claims along
the creek, but the "old channel,"
which corresponds to the "mother
lode'' in the nuurU districts, hud
never been found. Nor was it be
cause it hud not been sought for,
that the Murce of the big iiuggos
and coarse gold, which were a fea
ture of the placers along the creek
had not been discovered, for the
mountains surrounding from its
head to its mouth art honeycombed
with holes sunk by prospectors in
their senrch for the hidden source of
wealth, but this particular stretch
of the creek was left untouched.
Nature kept her secret until re
cently, and perhaps has revealed on
ly a portion of it now, but that por
tion was sufficien to interest parties
looking for mining investments and
to cause an investigation. Accord
ingly a mining engineer was sent to
the headwaters of the creek and
there he found a placer proosition
that was beyond anything found tu
this section for years.
The property consists of five
claims, extending along the creek for
nenrly a mile, comprising 100 acres,
with timber thereon for the needs
if the mine for nil time to come.
In prospecting the property, one
nugget weighing 24 ounces was tak
en out, and good wnges were made
with pick and shovel. As an experi
ment, an inexperienced man was set
at work and he took out gold to the
value of 18 ier day for the three
consecutive dn.s ho worked.
Part of this property has been
worked by the former owners in a
primitive way, and from an area of
t20x3() feet over $1850 in gold wis
taken, nnd it is safe to say that had
modern md(hol of f.-olil-wiviti- been
e-ipl"- et', the amount would have
ic.ichod .-rfiOOO.
Tli grpund is all virgin ground,
u i j .ospecls irom the grass roots
down. Indeed, in very few places
hnvc'the miners found bedrock along'
the line of the creek owned by the
company.
A company of local business men
has been formed to work tho mine
and will install a complete modern
plant.
The company is composed of Wal
ter F. Ran. J.' W. Dressier, Elliott
Doggett, J. W. Greenall, Fred- T. Os
born nnd John O. McClure. Their
main office will be ut Medford at
the Hotel Moore and all purchases
for the mine and also the payroll
will be bundled from this city.
HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil of Wlntergreen, Thymol Glycer
ine, Etc., Used as a Simple Wash
Methodist Minister Recommends
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhooca Remedy.
"I have used Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for
several years for diarrhoon. I con
sider ittho best remedy I have ever
tried for that trouble I bought a hot
tie of it a few days ago .from our
druggist, Mr. R. R. Brooks. I shall
ever ho glad to speak a word in itu
praise when I have tho opportunity."
Rev. 'J. D. Knnpp, pastor M. B.
church, Miles Grove, Pa. Sold by
It really seems strange that so
many peoplo suffer year in and year
out with eczema, when it is no longer
a secret that oil of wintcrgrcen
mixed with thymol, glyecrino, etc.,
makes a wash (hut is bound to cure.
Old. obstinate cabes, it is true can
not be cured in a few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from co-
zema who ever used this sirnplo wash
and did not find immediately thut
wonderful soothing, calm, cool sensa
tion that comes when the itch is tak
en away. Instantly upon applying a
few drops of the wash tho remedy
takes effect, tho itch ih allayed.
There is no need of experiment the
patient knows at once.
instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glyconno
etc.. in the right proportions our
selves we arc lifting a prescription
which is universally found tho most
effective It is known as the D. D.
I). Prescription, or Oil of Wintor
groon Compound. It is made by tho
D. D. D. Compound Company of Chi
cago, and our long experience with
this remedy has given us great con
fidence in its merits. Medford Phar

FORSAKE NOT

The old friend for the new, uule-ts
you have an exceptionally good
cause, and then it would be welt to
pause and consider a moment to see
if there aro not two sides to the
question, especially if you nro con
sidering changing your grocers, for
when it is considered that a finn
that does the amount. of business wo
do, could not have built it up by
any other means than by square
dealing, and at all times showing a
willingness to mnke nil things ricjit
thnt were not so. You cannot expect
to have grievances righted if you do
not complain, and if there is any
thing yon want that wo do not carry
nil you have to do is to ask for it
and wo will procure it for you if it
is to be hud.
