FROM BLUE LEDGE
ROLLS THIS WEEK
The first" 'carload o'eopyir. jro
from the Blue -Ledge minei now'
undergoing; extensive rtevelupmeii
will Je HtUpped froin Medfurd this
week'ftnd will aggregate appro!
lnintel' 16,Oo'o tons and will he fol
lowed by another car next week.
Ore will he shipped to a Taeonia
smelter thin season an long an the
weather and roa,d permit, I-r. J.
F. Retldy .sald yesterday after
noon. ' 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.

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

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.

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.
The hazelnuts cr.me from the
Steiner orchard, north uf Medford,
nnd the walnuts from tho A. N.
orchard near 1'hoenlx.
