Editorial Comment
Be Constructive
Nearly 1600 Jackson county tHl
eens, by actual count, were gatl-ir?
In the Medford armory Thursday eve-nine-
of this week to hear affaire of
the county discussed. It Is likely that
no other "attraction" which might
have been booked could have brought
out this number of oltltens In a com
mon cause.
Democrats and republicans, to say
nothing of Independents, learned dur
ing the recent political campaign that
the public le pretty well "fed up" on
a lot of chatter.
However, In Jackson county affairs
have reached such an unsettled atage
that everyone Is Interested. And It
Isn't altogether a healthy Interest.
That Is, Instead of having a construc
tive program, backed by a substantial
group of oltlaens, affaln seem to be
somewhat in the same oondltlon as
an unsolved Jig-saw puaele. Every
body has an Idea about how affaire ot
the county should be operated then
are conflicting Idea, about what con
stitute. Justice and fair play.
Organisations and Individuals be
come Involved In wordy dlsputee. And
wordy dispute, result In so little good.
We believe that we echo the senti
ment of the majority ot the cltlcenry
of Jackson county when we Bay we
are wearied with this constant fric
tion. Mistakes have been made. But
the best way of correcting any error
1 through the regular channels of
action dictated by society. If a matter
must be settled In court settle It In
court and forget about differences
after they are settled.
From one who Is not a native-born
American, but who seem, to have a
real appreciation of the lack of ac
complishment which will necessarily
accompany such friction as hae exist
ed, a note came to us recently. "For
get differences of the past and start
to do some real work," la his plea to
public officials.
without interference from anyone
with all petition, or requests com
ing through recognised channel, of
approach to publlo offlclaU. with a
cessation of constant friction and
agitation. Jackson county could again
settle back to planning for the future
and accomplishing something.
We believe that the presence of
1600 men and women In the armory
at Medford Thursday evening. Is tan
gible evidence that the cltlcens of
Jackson county want thla Internal
strife which la making ackson county
the butt of many Jokea throughout
the state, to cease.
If. aa Individuals, we refused to
listen to agitation end criticism, and
would discuss constructive strain, we
would be starting at the right source

WHERE THE C ER.MS COME IN
One of the most successful medical
charlatans In the country, who keeps
'em coming in the only way a quack
can maintain
himself long In
one locatloii,
points out to his
w 1 s e a o r e pros
pects from time
to time the ab
surlty of the or
thodox m e d leal
idea that germs
cause disease.
The germs, the
mountebank as
sures his gullible
customers, are
the efect of the
disease, not the cause of It. They
are attracted to the scene, like buz
zards or vermin, byt the corruption
or something that la thrown off by
the sick body or maybe the corrup
tion or "toxic waste matter" or what
ever It Is that produces the disease,
and the germs Just happen to be
hanging around and hop In and en-
toy themselves.
But the charlatan sometimes loses
sight of his main premise when ap
pealing to the credulity of the public.
He wnxe seloquent about the man
agement of childbirth In one of his
bids for patronage, and as though to
reassure timid prospects he asserts
that a policy of non-Interference Is
almost always best, provided antl
septic precautions are observed. Ob
viously he charlatan seeks to appear
"up to date," but unfortunately be
trays his Ignorance after all, for It Is
not antlseptllc methods but aseptic
methods that make for safety In ob
stetric practice today, Irrespective ol
the "school" of the physician or mid
wife or whether the policy Is one of
Interference or non-interference. In
other words, by taking pains to ster
ilize things and by rigid cleanliness
we keep the germs out. Instead of try
ing to kill them after they have gain
ed access to the field. Anyhow, It
goes to show how Ignortant are the
educated. Here Is a popular charla
tan ridiculing the "theory" that germs
cause disease and In the same breath
appealing to the public to patronize
him because he believes In using
methods to discourse germ activities.
Just how do the germs of our mot
common and widespread diseases get L'
In? We are no nearer a working
knowledge of this important matter
than we were ten years ago. It seems
to me that the rank and file of phy
sicians today are disposed to agree
that the common respiratory Infec
tions, which cause three-fourths of
the Illness physicians attend, are
spread chiefly In the mouth and nose

coughs or sneezes, and some phylao-

aceept the belief that conversations
spray Is an Important mode of In
fection among the more Intelligent
and polite portion of the population.
If physicians and health authori
ties in general do seriously believe
that disease Is spread by the custom
of shaking hands, they are strangely
reluctant to teach the public about
the danger. Personally, I do not be
lieve that an appreciable amount of
disease is spread In this way. Such
a mode of Infection Is conceivable,
but In my opinion It Is actually so
rare as to be negligible.
But conversational spray polite
conversational spray that, I think. Is
the main source of grief for the
public today. I'm hoczy, but all 1
can do about It Is to warn the pub
lic that the range of ordinary con
versational spray Is less than live
feet. When you are at all auspicious
of an alleged "cold" you can at least
strive to keep beyond the scoundrel'
effective conversational spray range.

Involved State Secretary Stlmson
When Stlmson returned from his
Roosevelt visit he notified all nations
that the Hoover-Sttmson Far Eastern
policy was still In effect. He referred
to the policy of non-recognltlon of
states seized by force.
That carried the clear Implication
that Mr. Roosevelt would follow the
policy. The newspapermen did a lit
tle snooping around and wrote au
thentic pieces that Mr. Roosevelt had
told the secretary of state the policy
would be continued. It leaked out
through foreign ambassadors, who got
the word from Stlmson.
Mr. Roosevelt's comment was dip
lomatically evasive. All he would
say was that American policy must
be founded on the sanctity of Inter
national treaty. The Hoover-Stlmson
policy ts a doctrine, not a treaty.
That apparently leaves Mr, Roose
velt's hands free again.
But from unqestlonable sources
comes word that the policy will be
continued In principle. There seems
to be nothing else to do. It has been
utterly Ineffective. Japan was not
stopped in conquering Manchoukou
or In spreading Into Jehol by the
threat of non -recognition. Nor has
the threat been effective In the Chaco

Gold Hill Quartz Mill
Hauled From Sea Coast
In I860 First in State
By- A. E. Kellogg.
The first quartz mill Introduced In
Oregon was during 1860. The rich
gold diggings In quartz which gave
up $700,000 practically on top of the
ground two miles from the town of
Gold H1U on the Rogue, known as the
"Gold Hill Pocket," had but recently
been found, and the owners of tho
diggings were operating an arrastra
reducing the quartz which was worth
$1 per pound.
The old mode of reducllng ore with
Its cumbersome drags, lazy mules and
prlmatlve make-up generally, was
not modern enough for the wealthy
mine owners, although they were dl
vidlng 1000 ounces of virgin gold per
week, so they let a milling contract
to the late Henry Kltppel, one of the
mine owners, who took two partners
and left for San Francisco to order
modern mill equipment.
The equipment consisted of a 12-
stamp mill of the design then In
vogue, which ,had low Iron mortora
It waa shipped by water from San
Francisco to Scottsburg, at the
mouth of the Umpqua river, and
hauled by team to Gold Hill. The
shipment included steam boiler and
engine. The freight and hauling
cost $3,000 and the total cost of the
plant equipment was $13,000 f. o, b,
San Francisco.
The first run of the mill was on
100 tons of ore not rich enough to
be reduced by t.he arrastra, and It
yielded $100 per ton. The next mill
run taken down deeper on the vein,
to the surprise of the mill operators,
yielded only $3 per ton, probably
due to the baseness of the ore and
poor amalgamation. Another run
was made which lasted six weeks on
this rich base ore, and being careful
ly conducted yllded but $3.40, and
mine and mill suspended operations.
The mill had been set up and op
erated on the river opposite Gold Hill
where the railroad bridge spans the
stream, and on the outskirts ot the
mining camp, Dardanelles and rival
town of Oold Hill, when the rail
road wis built through this valley
during the early 'BOs, After the
work ceased the mill was leased to
Yreka miners who again attempted
to mill the rich base ores of the Gold
Hlly diggings, but failed.
Later in 1863, the mill and power
equipment was sold for $5,000 to
Jewett Brothers and Douthltt and
removed to the famous Jewitt mine
out from Grants Pass. The mill
proved a failure at Its new stand, and
later the boiler and engine for a
number of yara were used In operat
ing the Parker sawmill out on Big
Butte creek, owned by the late pion
eer physician. Dr. Joseph Parker and
sons.
Henry Pope came over from Yreka
In 1860 and erected an 8-stamp
quartz mill at the forks of Jackson
creek out from Jacksonville, and
crushed ore front the newly discov
ered Davenport pocket mine and sev
eral other rich quartz veins nearby.
He was to have $8 per ton for crush
ing the quartz. About 100 tons of
ore was reduced from the Davenport
diggings which yielded from $45 to
$75 per ton.
These rich free-milling ores of the
neighborhood after a few months
were exhausted. Pope soon after sold
an Interest In his mill to a company,
by whom it was operated some
months longer on rich ore hauled
from other mines in the district. In
less than a year after Its Inception
the boiler and engine went the aw-
mlll route, which the mill battery
was removed to Wagner creek out
from Talent and saw service at the
Anderson and Rock fellow diggings
operated by water power. The steam
equipment saw service for many years
in saw mills operated on Forest creek
timber.
Several years eler Charles Drew
and Samuel Bowden put up the third
quarts mill Introduced Into the re
gion on the right fork of Jackson
creek out from Jacksonville to cnuh
ore on the vein of the famous Old
Town mine. This mine was reopened
two years ago and made mdre fa
mous when the strike of rich tellu
rtde on the 350-foot level was made,
which will probably result In mak
ing this old-time diggings one of the
richest and largest ylelders of gold
in this region again.
While Vie Town mine, now known
as the Midas, was first located as a
placer In the spring of 1853 by a pi
oneer miner named Town, following
the discovery of gold at Jacksonville
In the winter of 1851-3, It became a
quartz diggings In the early '60s
when Bowdeu uncovered a pay shoot
on the vein which yielded $60.000 ;
not deeper than ?0 feet from the sur
face of the ground. Later Johnson. ;
a prospector, uncovered another pay j
shoot near the surface of the ground
farther down theJll. which gave up
130.000.
After several years Operation with
Drew and Bowdca quarts mill,'
a"
rah?)
I with more or less success crushing
. surface ores, the boiler and engine
were Installed in the Karewskl flour
mill at Jacksonville, while the atamp
mill was later Installed and operated
at the Kllppel and Baumle quartz
mine on Jackson creek operated by
water power.
These three mills were the fore
runners of the thousands rnd thou
sands of stamps which pounded and
banged the ores of southwestern Or
egon In later years. Tfre height of
the Industry was reached from the
early '90s to about 1906 with a de
cline which was verging to a general
resumption at the beginning of the
world war In 1914,, when there was
nearly a total suspension of the gold
Industry, world wide, with all the
mighty mining energies of the region
turned to the production of copper,
chrome, Mauaneses, quicksilver and
other war metals.

Jenkins' Comment
(Continued from Page One)
Which Is the plain truth. That
exactly what the machine does, over
the long pull.
AMONG favorable Indications, Mr.
lUTnw ft to fVi faff, fhttfr Ntrvlr
and bond prices are creeping slowly
upward; that freight car loadings In
creased during the fall somewhat
more than seasonably; that the em
ployment trend Is slightly upward.
And get this:
"Back in the East," he said. "It Is
no longer fashionable to.be shabby
and down-at-the-heel. Poople who
can afford It are beginning to spruce
up to cease to be ashamed to be
seen In decent clothtn."
That, too, Is a hopeful sign.
lkJEWSPAPER men are a hopeful lot,
" constitutionally. But those as
sembled here are not feeding each
other Polly anna platitudes. They are
assuming that recovery, though 1
has probably started already, will be
slow, and they are making plans to
adopt their business to changed con
ditions, stuffing off the extravagances
that developed during the easy years
and getting back to a common sense
basis.
