Miller, in addition to being the efficient postmaster for Jacksonville and conducting a hardware store, is en gaged in stockraising as a side line. He has some 75 head of cattle in the hills at the head of Jackson creek, where they feed except during severe weather of winter when he feeds them on his ranch on that creek. This week Mr. Miller has sold 20 head of fine beeves to Gold Hill and Talent butchers. These beeves were in fine condition though fattened only on the range, which of late has been short owing to the excessive dry weather and heavy forest fires.
