' 1 The mine is 31) hi Hen from Med ford, I) Ui five miles of the- road near the mine Is in such condition that inclement weather will make it impassable for trucks. If this length is ; graveled before bad weather, ore will probably be shipped from Medford all winter Over 20 men are now employed at the mine making Improvements nnd sorting ore from -the dump, which has approximately 50,000 tons of material. When the dump supply is exhausted, mining will be begun on a big scale nnd by next year or shortly after, over 250 men are expected to'be employed. The buildings on the property are be ing gradually placed in repair by severnl carpenters and the entire mine operation is progressing ns well as expected,1 said Dr. Heddy. The ore being shipped this week averages eight per cent copper but is expected to be of a higher per centage when the dump supply is exiiausted. Over $10,000 was ex pended to repair the roads so that the present shipments could be made, having been made impass able in the mountain country by heavy rains and washouts. THEATER STORIES AVERS CIDERS iOliuor Childers, contractor, said this mornlng'that the jroporv he intended to remodel tttt olU Page- theater, were "prematurOt and slightly exaggerated." rhilders kuid that ne had a sixty clay option on the structure and lot for a small sum, and I intend to see what I can do. ' I have a plan in mind, hut it is so indefinite it is not worth mentioning. Once before I "Was working on remodel ing the building, but It fell thru. Later an option was secured by a man who figured on erecting a bakery there." t'hilders said he secured the option from George A. Hunt and Charles A. Wing, and that "it will be two weeks or a month before I know where I am at." He further stated that his plans did not in clude the building of a hotel, an apartment house, or a theater. Cleorge A. Hunt, one of the own ers of the site, is in Roseburg at tending to business. Charles A. Wing said all he knew was that the option had been granted CliU ders for a short time. About twice a year since the Page theater wasgutted by flames fseyen years .ago, rumors have been, loosed that a modern building of some sort was to be erected on the remains. : ) ' DEATH CALLS LOCAL Johnson Regales Rotarians With , .

The Rotary tlub held a "closed" meeting Tuesday, which, is some what at variance with their usual custom. The reason for the ex- cluslveness was because John John son, who recently returned from world-wide tour, had promised to regale the members with some "Inairte" facts concerning hU tour to Singapore and Java. Reporters rushed, (o be sure and be on time, only to bo met with a courteous but nevertheless terse statement from President Frank J. Newman, "Thou shalt not enter.'1 XTpon be ing asked the whyd and wh'rc- r o r e s, iney were tout tnai .Mr., Johnson would deal with the sights which he hail seen in an open handed and' unveiled manner. Pic ture their disappointment, if you can, upon having the door closed upon them. ' ' Kvery newspaper man 'or wom an has been taupht the funda mental lesson of "News"' at any price, so Sally and Mary, bor rowed some aprons from the wait resses at the Hotel Medford and brought in the trays, thinking In this way to gain an "earful" of for bidden knowledge. Fate was un kind, however, as the disguise was not sufficiently effective and they were escorted thence. Native Tennis. 14 Mr. Johnson related someT most Interesting facts concerning the native skill exhibited at the port of Singapore where the inhahit- ants follow the custom of the ka nakas at Honolulu in diving for coins nnd who also entertain ship passengers with a form of tennis which he stated 'would put even Helen Wills to. shame. These na tives stand e,rect in a 14-inch wide canoe and, using the paddles in almost unbelievably accurate vol ley, varying this sport by carom ing the ball off the ship's side from one player to the other. Some of the members left. th meeting with expressions of com placency; others with a keen look of desire upon their countenances, due-to the fact that Mr. Johnson spoke somewhat at length con cerning the drinking customs on board ship and iiv the countries j al Visiieu, ana conimt'iumg upon mv titnt ttmt tlttu linlmfrv hilil mVi" wet" tin comparison with'''" ""''KnH iii-sl iniiiuuy pom,. MARKER SERVICES IN TOLO THURSDAY Preparations are complete for j the ' unveiling tomorrow afternoon j :30 of the l'ort La no marker i it Tolo, marking the spot of south- been the. drinking customs o other countries). While we nre not per mitted to mention names, we. are told that several of tho member. nre seriously planning r.n. early visit to some of the "lands of tho free." . . ,' Picturesque Java. ' Of particular interest was Mr. Johnson's recital of his visit through Java, with Its pleturesuue Polenesian and Malay population; its botanical gardens and its jun gles abounding with tropical fruits.' From all accounts, Java must in- deed be a lazy man's paradise. though the natives are often spur red to acitivity by eruptions of ac tive volcanoes, of which there are seven in number. In the guise of a leading news paperman, studying the customs of Java, Mr. Johnson was admitted to a portion of a native wedding cere mony. Java weddings require some three days of ceremony, while a divorce in that country Is accom-; plished by the exceedingly simple process Of returning the discarded wife to her home. According to Mr. Johnson, the museum at Batavia contains a vast number of priceless exhibits stud ded with diamonds and reflects place of the racquets, keep up nn much barbaric splendor.

Then Orhln Cooksle; halfback, entered nnd de parted school in the same week a Job being more of a lure than an education. Then Dick Applegate twisted an ankle.

LOCAL NUTS BETTER SAKS CALIFOI'AN Although walnuts and hazelnuts are grown plentifully tn southein California, and this year's-crop is regarded as of fnirly cond quality, evidently the quality of the locally grown nuts must be superior, nnd, strange nt Is may seem, It took a southern California resident to first call attention to this. For S. S. Montgomery of Holly wood, Calif., who Is a visitor In Medford this week, while at the public market today was so im pressed with thy .quality of the local nuts ho saw there that he immediately purchased GO pounds of them and ordered them sent to his southern California home.
