EYOND nil question of doubt, milling is the greatest
resource of! southern Oregon.
Yet mining is neglceted, almost as much as timber.
Experts estimate that Jackson county has produced
between $75,000,000 and "$100,000,000 in gold. In addi
tion there are vast coppor deposits partially developed.
All stream beds ou the west side of the valley are full
of placer gold. Many millions have been tnkonfrom them
and they are still producing.
The country is called a" pocket country, becauso sur
face formations are filled with stringers of gold. The pros
pector has gone after these pockets instead of looking
for the mineral formation.
The source of the placora has not been found, because
chimney hunters have looked in the wrong formation and
only shallow work has been done.
Little real mining has ever been done hero. Workings
have only been scratched, and not deep enough to deter
mine regarding them.
This is one of the world's greatest placer fields. It
affords the greatest field for quartz mining in the country.
TVlien the source of the placers has been found, quartz
mines will yield many times more than placers have.
The world's next great mining excitement is scheduled
for southern Oregon, and when it comes, previous excite
ments will be far eclipsed.
All this despite the nature of the native Orogouian,
who does not enthuse and does not know a good thing until
someone has convinced him against his will.

The state railroad commission has taken up, of its own
motion, the question of Southern Pacific tariffs on lines
in Oregon.
All the class rfntes are attacked, as they were recently
on the O. R. & 3ST. lines, the commission winning its fight
through all courts.
Class rates cover practically all shipments to and from
Portland, except such commodities as grain, flour, pota
toes, hay, lumber, brick, stone and livestock, which take a
lower or commodity rate.
"What Medford needs to build up a jobbing center is
lower carload rates. The less than carload rates, compar
ed with those in force on the O. R. & K, are reasonable,
but the carload rates could be lowered, and probably will
be, by the railroads.

The remains of George H. Williams, the grand old
man" of Oregon, were laid away for final rest today, in the
presence of loving friends and admirers. No more fit
ting words could be uttered than those spoken by him over
40 years ago, in the United States senate, in memory of a
brother senator:
"When the sun of bright day declines below the hori
zon, a soft radiance lingers among the shadows of ap
proaching night; and so it is when a good man goes down
from a high position in the world to his resting place in
the grave. Streaming behind him is the effulgence of an
exalted character to illumine the way for others, and to
lighten and smooth the sorrows of bereavement.
"Where the departed statesman lived and died, bells
have tolled their farewell peals; the pall, the hearse and the
funeral procession have passed and gone; 'ashes to ashes,
and dust to dust' have been spoken, and to her maternal
bosom earth has folded his mortal remains. And now we,
his fellow senators, have met in this chamber, where his
presence and his voice were once so potent, to celebrate th
closing scenes. This is the last of the ceremony. Bowing

MAKING GOOD MONEY
OUT OF BEE INDUSTRY
Will Mailer commenced handling
bees several years ago, more as a
matter of recreation than anything
else, but in timo he began to see
possible commercial results, until
now ho has bee stands scattered all
over tho valley and each year reaps
pleasurable harvest of golden
honey and golden shekels.
Tuesday B, F. Hemstreet hauled
out to his place, which is the head
quarters for the industry, 160 frames
which the operators expect to have
filled with honey by the end of tho
season.
The Itogue River valley, Mr. Mul-
lor thinks, is an ideal spot for bee
culture. The climate being mild and
blossoms and flowers so abundant
that thero is but a short, time each
year when the bees cannot work. As
a consequence the honey crop can bo
gathered very closely without dan
ger of starving the bees,
Don't take the trouble and expense

OUT IN THE FIELD8.
THE little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yestorday
Among the fields above the sea.
Among the winds at play,
Amone the lowing of the herds.
The rustling of tho trees;
Among the singing of the birds, 1
The humming of the bees.
The foolish fears of what may happen,
I cast them all away
Among the clover scented grass,
Among the new mown hay.
Among the husking of the corn
Where drowsy popples nod,
Where 111 thoughts die and good are bora,
Out In tho nelds with Clod.

The toys of yesterday

Too overwlse for play.

"And yet, slnse moon blown buds must

Before the noonday sun,
I eJose them wistfully away
And give the ky to none.

Lie quietly nor care
If some day In an Idle mood

Through some closed corner of my heart,
Should laugh to nnd you there!

DEEP In the Jungle vast and dim,
That knew not a white man's feet.
I smelt the odor ot sun warmed fur,

SCENT of fur and color of blood
And the long dead Instincts rose,
I followed tho litre of my season's mate
And flew, baro ranged, at my foes.
