Io Work An Ancient River Bed.
Allicrt Gangwich had the last load of
his household effects and tools hauled ,
from Jacksonville to the Blatt place, two
miles west of town, which he ami J. U.
illike, of Medford, recently purchased
of Tho. Cameron, administrator of the
Blatt estate. On this land is a section
of an ancient river bed, which flowed ,
across the county south ami west of Jack­
sonville during a geological period ante­
dating the present water courses of this
section. On the hill at the Blatt place [
the cement gravel deposit of this ancient
river bar is about 00 feet deep and it is so [
hard that it has to be blasted out. This j
cement bed has l>een worked for years
(Mist and has proven rich in gold, but the j
cost working it by reason of the limited
supply of water has been a heavy draw- i
back and the claim has lain idle much of
the time. A small ditch supplies the
claim with water from Cantrall's gulch, |
but the supply only lasts during rains j
and snows and but little pressure can be
had for the pipe which is used in washing I
the cement gravel. Direct piping is not
done but drifts are run on the bedrock

ox team from Illinois. In 1855 he was
mining at Hawkinsville near Yreka
when a call was made for volunteers to
go to Rogue River Valley ami help sup­
press the Indians who were tnassacreing
the few white settlers scattered through­
out the Valley and he and 15 other min­
ers enlisted and came across to Jackson­

they were mustered in and served until
the war closed and the Indians were
captured and sent to the Grande Rhonde
reservation in Yamhill county. Return­

Something new in periodical literature
is the contribution of twenty-five articles,
covering every part of the Great World's
Fair at St. Louis, by a single writer to
one issue of a magazine. Mr. John Bris-
ben Walker spent eleven days in St.Louis
accompanied by two stenographic secre­
taries and a photographer. The round
of each building was made in company
with the chief of the division, and with
the heads of the subdivisons, so that no
important matter should escape atten­
tion. The articles were dictated in the
aisles of the building while the impres­
sion was of the freshest. The actual
physical labor of covering the Exposition
averaged from fifteen to twenty miles a
day.

JACKSONVILLE, ORE.
Geo. W. Ellis, the hustling represent­
ative of Blake McFall Company, whole­
sale paper and stationery dealers of Port­
land, was in Jacksonville Tuesday on his
regular trip and had his usual good suc­
cess in securing orders.
M. R. Buck was in Jacksonville Satur­
day from his ranch on Little Applegate
near Buncom where he is raising stock,
hay and some fruit. As cattle and alfalfa
have been profitable products for Apple­
gate farms the ranchers of that valley
have given no attention to fruit raising,
but it has b-en proven that Applegate
valley is one of the best fruit districts in
Southern Oregon. Mr. Buck has a few­
peach trees that each year bear prolific
crops, this year they being loaded with
peaches that would bring top prices in
the market. Owing to the roads and
distance to haul, fruit raising can not be
profitably carried on in Applegate Valley
but when there are smooth turn-pike
roads so that fruit can be hauled to
market without being ruined, this valley­
will become one of the greatest peach,
apple and grape districts of the Pacific
Coast.
