COUNCIL 10 ACT
TROLLEY LINE
Tho city council Tuesilrty morning
in executive session thoroughly went
ovtir tho frnnchtic proposition of
force! hy tho Hnnuiins nml nt tlto
conclusion practically ilechloil not to
Krnnt it. Tho mooting wns holil in
order to jjivo the Ilnrouin proposition
a full nmount of consideration het'oro
tho Inter session called for 2 o'clock
this nftornooii.
It is probable Hint tho council n
tho meeting this afternoon will grant
tho street and intemrbnn franchise
to tho Minnoy company, as it is H);
uroil thnt this coninny hns more to
offer the city and thnt the 90 day
forfeit iclnnno means operation In
that time or .f'J.fiOO in the city treas
ury. As one council member stated,
"Ve don't have a proosition offer
ing thnt which the Minnoy franchise
does every day and as for Hnrnitm's
he's here forever."
Other routine business will be
transacted and the monthly bills al
lowed. Relieving It posslblo tbat expert
Wilson, who discovered the 2 1,360
BliortaKo tn tho sheriff's office, may
havo made a mistake, Wilbur Jones,
who loxcn tbat much money for the
privilege of being sheriff, has started
to ko over the accounts. Should Mr.
Jones discover any error, no matter
how smalt he will be Justified In ask
ing tho county to hlro another expert
to runke a second examination into
tho records.
Slnco making good the amount
which expert Wilson says mysterious
ly disappeared during Jones term of
office, Jones has no money left to
hire the exporting done and there
has been some talk that his bonds
men' will stand tho expeusc.

GOLD HILL, Ore Jan 7 - J I
Rlttcr of this city has receded not
ice from the land office at IUetunr
that thu contest Instituted by the
Oregon & California railroad com
pany against his right to patent for
certain mining claims hns boon de
cided In his favor and dismissed.
Claiming the land to be largely
agricultural In charactor, the rail
road company Instituted n contest
tor the mining claims west of this
city known as the Prefountaln group,
and effectually tied up for a time Hit
ter's endeavor to secure mineral
patent to tho property.
Testimony In thu case wns taken
before the United States commis
sioner, W. H. Canon, at Medford, and
submitted to the receiver of the gov
ernment land offlco at Roseburg for
decision. Ily tho testimony pro
duced It was clearly established that
the lands Involved were mineral In
character, a number of witnesses be
ing called to substantiate tho rights
of JUtter to patent.
The Prefountaln group, ns the de
bated claims aro known, has been
successfully and almost constantly
mined since the early fifties, many
thousands of dollars having been
taken from tho placer deposits by
former operators. Tho testimony In
troduced by Hitter's attorney demon
strated that those claims may jet be
profitably operated, and that tho gen
eral character of the land unfits It
for agricultural purposes. Under the
terms of tho original railroad grant
the claims would have reverted to
the O. & C. railroad if agricultural
In character.
