exceptional qualifications for the of
fice to which he has boon called by
Governor West. His appointment Is

agreeable to the public. If n little
disconcerting to tho old-style party

assistance in disclosing the internal

Two and one-half acres of land, ly
Inj; Just across the river from Gold
Hill, has been deeded by the Com
mercial club ot Gold Hill to AV. J.
Morgan and associates of Portland,
Or., for the erection ot a custom mill
to treat gold-bearing ores of tho dis
trict. Tho laud is a part of the old Dra
den estate and offers all tho advan
tages for such a plant that could he
desired. One Eldo Is paralleled by
the Southern Pacific tracks and the
other by Rogue river, which will af
ford all the water necessary In the
washing of the ore.
T)ie mill is to be operated on Iho
plan of the old grist mills. Miners
will bring in their jre, pay so much
for the use of the plant, at a fixed
rate a ton, and tako back their
"clean-up" after the run. At tho
present time it is estimated that
enough ore has been signed up to run
the mill all season, and prospectors
of the district state that they will
work their claims now that they have
some .manner to treat tho ore.
(Gervals Star.)
Olcott is clean, square and capable
and his experience ns u banker and
public accountant has been worth a
great deal to Oregon during the year
that he has served as secretary of
state. The office has been put on a
business basis from top to bottom.
Everybody works not once In n j
while, but all the time nnd every
body works intelligently and in pur
suance of a systematic plan; a care
ful record Is kept of every cent that
conies in or goes out of the office;
modern time nnd money saving ma
chinery have been installed wherever
there was a chance to effect a sav
ing. The secretary's office disburses
about $2,500,000 per year, and Mr.
Olcott takes particular pains to ses
that every claim against the state's
funds is carefully scrutinized before

Mr. Olcott a man who is doing his

The bills are closely scrutinized,

effort to pull the leg of the state.

R. Thomas of Oakland was unani

(Portland Journal.)
Secretary of State Olcott has Is
sued an order requiring employes In
his office to give their full time to
the state. Recently he laid down a
rule that no claim would be allowed
in his office for tips and kindred
expenditures at tho expense of the
state.
It is a business man's way of ad
ministering the office of state secre
tary. In the case or employes, the
state is entitled to all the service It
pays ror. The employe has not, as
has been the custom, tho right to do
outsldo work on the state's time. In
such things a public office should be
conducted strictly as In private af
fairs, and that is manifestly what
Secretary Olcott Is doing.
