V
Turns Them Over to Trustee.
NKW YOHIC, July 25. That the
f 111,000,0110 National City company,
to be oM'rated by directors of the
National City bank, was organized to
nullify the supreme court decisions
in thu Htandard Oil and Tobacco
Trust cases is a rcort current to
day in Wall street. The new concern,
it is asserted, is to be the holding
company for both the trusts. The
two trusts, it is reported, will be split
up into their integral concerns, in
conformity with the court's decision,
but the control of each, it is alleged,
will be retained indirectly by thu
National City company.
The stock of the National City
company and of tho National City
bunk will be interlocked under thu
plan, it in said. The owner of the
National City company stock cannot
sell without ulso selling his stock in
the bank. Ah the bank stock is con
sidered a virtual gold mine, there is
little likelihood that any of it will be
ttold.
When the reorganization plan of
the oil and tobacco trusts is an
nounced, it is believed that the stocks
of nil the companies composing the
trusts will be turned back to their
original owners with an "interlock
ing clauue." ThiK will prevent the
selling of the stock in a single com
pany and holders must sell all thu

REAL JOY RIDE WITH DEATH
Not satisfied wtli thu relative nier

tomobiles as demonstrated July -1,
Frank Knuicr and Jimmio Corrigan
at an early hour this morning went
out on West Main and ran several
races over tho courso of the Fourth
of July races. Ah n result the two
young men will probably pay a fine
In thu police court this afternoon.
In addition to this Kroner will bo
forced to pay a largo repair bill on
his car which was badly damaged
when lie hit a telephone pole and tore
the front nxlu from beneath the ear
and Hinashed up its body. Krom all
accounts of the racu and accident it
is a matter of surprise that both of
the men wero not killed.
Last evening tho two men got into
an argument regarding t)i rolativu
merits of the two makes ot ear.
Thcroii)on a race was proposed. At
2 n. ill. enme tho test. Several times
they circled tho course and then Cor
rigan brought hid car back to tho
garage and climbed into tho Duu'k
with Kroner. Away they went on a
real fast Joy nice, with dcnlb.
Krom reports it seems that the
Huiuk got into trouble throe times,
partially overturning tho first two
times but not injuring it. Kiuully
while rounding the first cornor off
tlio Jacksonville road, tho car loft tho
road and connected wtih a pole. Tho
right wheel and lamps were torn
away while the axlo was badly dam
aged. Chief of Police Ilittson is uwniting
the appearance of the two men this
afternoon when lie will take them
into court for exceeding the speed
limit.

and box factory in tins city on the
site of the Trail Lumber company nt
tho end of Tenth btreet. He is or
ganizing tiie Sugar Pine Lumber
company nnd is meeting with splen
did success.
Mr. Dorrance plants to capitalize
his company for $25,000 or $35,000,
So far ho has succeeded in securing
the following subscriptions: George
L. Davis $2000, D. V. Dorrance
$2500, J. T. Gagaoii $2000, Frank
Gngnon $2000, Frank LnKouche
$1000. This is the result of one day's
work, and there seems to be every
prospect of success.
Mr. Dorraliee plans to capitalize
make lumber at a cobt of $S a thou
sand, paying $1.5"0 for stumpage
This lumber he claims can be sold
for $20 a thousand. In addition he
finds u large field here for a box
factory, lie will receive his stumpagu
west of Jacksonville.
Mr. nominee's experience has been
wide in the lumber business and ho
bolicves that nowhere in tho state at
tho presont time is there a better
opening for a mill and factory. One
mill will bring others, ho states, and
this will soon be a lumber center.
Tho peoplo of this city should buy

Y WINDSTORM
NOT HEAVY
Investigation of Orchards Show That
Early Reports of Great Damage
Were Unfounded Total Loss Will
Not Exceed $10,000.
EARLY REPORTS HAD
ENTIRE FRUIT CROP GONE
Bartletts Escape Damage to Any
Great Extent Howells and
Anjous Suffer Most.
A thunder and wind storm, the
heaviest ever recorded at this season
locally, visited tho Rogue River Val
ley Monday evening and did consid
erable damage to tho fruit crop. The
wind gained a vclouty of CO miles
an hour. Investigation of the var
ious orchards today however fall to
show damako to the extent reported
nt first. It is extremely unlikely that
the loss will total $10,000.
The heaviest loss seems to be at
Hiilcrest. Hero considerable fruit
was blown off and limbs of trees
broken.
In tho Marshall orchard the An
jous were hit heaviest, the loss be
ing about a box to the tree Bartletts
and apples wero untouched.
The Houston Bartletts and New
towns escaped all damage.
The Hover crop was untouched.
A modlum loss was experienced
In tho Potter and Gould orchard.
Very little loss was suffered In
the Goro orchard.
The Burrell Bartletts wero not
damaged to any extent but tho How
ells and Anjous wero hit hard.
Tho Bear Creok Orchard loss was
heavy in spots. Comlco and one
block of Bartletts escaped entirely.
Only a small amount of fruit was
lost by A- C. Allen nt Hollywood.
The Randall orchard noted for Its
fine black of Newtowns was not dam
aged to any extent. Earl yapplcs suf
fered considerably.
Tho apples in Griffiths place near
Jacksonville woro hit hard, tho loss
running ovor two boxes to -tho tree.
Tho Gaggett orchard was damaged
In spots but not seriously.
T. Conro Fioro lost a few early
apples. HU total loss Is very small.
Tho Bates and Merrick orchards
escaped damage.
Tho Tablo Rock section was not
visited by tho heavy wind and no
damage was reported.
A summary ot the damage goes to
show that not over six cars of fruit
was losta.
Professor O'Gara stated today that
tho wind reached a velocity of 60
miles an hour. Ho quaged It by
timing smnll objects carried by the
breeze.
Telephone wires were Interfered
with to some extent. Electric lights
In tho city were out for an hour
owing to a break in tho circuit.

WHY SOUTHERN OREGON IS ONE OF BEST MINING DISTRICTS
Apropos to tho occasion of tho new
ly awakened interest in tho mining
industry of Boutliom Oregon, tho ro
iient meeting of tho mining congress
in Orants Pass, tho suoooHaful or
ganist ion of tho mining bureau at
Medford.
It might bo well at HiIh timo to
statu for tlio beiiofit of tho initiated
a few of the reasons why southern
Oregon ia a good mining district,
with tlio word is, is empliusised by
capital letters.
Tho recent display of minerals nt
tlio Clrnts Pass mining congress nuwt
lmvo uonviuoed oven tho most skep
tical of "MisKourians," who have to
"bo shown," that Houthem Oregon
and northern California aro produc
ing at tho present timo us great a va
riety of minerals, and as good in
quality iih aro to bo found in any
other mining section in the west.
MinomlH that spuuk for themselves
to the intelligent practical mining
mint, of the reliability and perma
nency of (Ho lodges, and wins in
which thuy nro found.
Great Variety of Metals Found
Practically Every Formation
Known Duplicated Here.
Geologists tell us that this is tho
earliest land to appear above tho
surrounding waters. This being tho
oldest laud on tho ooast, mining ge
ologists toll us that tho oldest for
mations of primitive rooks aro tho
most prolific in mineral bearing
woalth.
Wo find horo all of tlio formations
that carry mineral values in this and
othor countries.. Wo huvo horo tho
limes nnd porphyries that made tho
Loadvillo and Aspou mines, Tho
nndesitea uud phouolytcs that nmdo
tho Cripplo Creek mines of Colorado,
tho Sohistii that mado tho Homo
stake and Father froBwcot mines of
North Dakota, Tho green stouo
porphyry, slato and dioryto, that en
oloso tho mother Indo of California.
Tlio grittiitu that makes tho butto,
and granite mountain mines of Mon
tana, and the Clear creek iniues of
Colorado that for the past JO years
have mado their annual production
of millions of dollars of gold and sil
ver. '
Wo oven find horo reefs of seli
cious conglomerates, carrying pay
values in gold. In which aro found
the Hand mines of SouthAt'rica.
With these formations in evidenco
why shouldn't tho mines of south
ern Oregon go down! Can any ono
give a valid reason why tho same for
mations that oarry minerals to an
unknown depth in othor states should
not do tho same horo?
At ono timo theso mountains horo
woro hundreds of foot abovo their
present elevation, mineral hearing
veins went down from that point to
tlio present olevatioiu And there is
no reason to doubt lint they will con
tinuo to go down to an unknown dopth
yot to bo explored.
Tho "mills of the gods" luwo been

off for eons of ages, uud that tjioy

havo "ground exceedingly fiuo" is ev
idenco by tho millions of dollars
caught in mother nature's sluice
boxes, of gulches, orcoks, nnd river
bottoms, which huvo been industrious
ly robbed, by tho hardy miners for
tho past 50 yenrs, nnd aro yet being
profitably worked.
It is an undoubted fact that tho
big bulk of our placer gold is of lo
cal origin, eroded, washed and con
centrated from tho surrounding
mountains.
Thoro aro low ranges of rounded
hills in this distriot, from whioh all
of tho gold haso not yot been washed
into tho nearby gulches, with scarce
ly an aero of those hills, that would
not pay to work. If wntor oould bo
scoured in sufficient quantities to
work tho ground advantageously.
This samo grouud docs not carry a
trace of washed gravel, proving con
clusively that this gold is of locnl or
igin. Now is it reasonable to suppose
that these gold carrying viens came
down through theso hundreds of foot
of tho eroded portions of these moun
tains, nnd then censed at this point,
or do they go deeper?
Either tho geological history of
this country is entirely wrong, cr
theso gold bearing veins go to an un
known dopth. Willi tho pcrpomlcr
