Government officeraare drawing tighter

Southern Oregon and announcement was
made Monday that Frank E. Kincart had
been taken into custody at Roseburg ac
cording to a dispatch to the Evening
Telegram. He is alleged to be implicat
ed in the wrongful acquring of title to
timber lands near Medford. Mr. Kincart
has been placed under f 1000 bonds to ap
pear before the United States Grand Jury
in December, which meets in Portland.
Harry W. Miller was also arrested and
rut three warrants were orginally issued,
one remain* to be served.
So far the names of no people of promi
nence have been mentioned in connect
ion with the alleged timber ring which
has been operating near Roseburg, but
such a denouement would not be sur
prising to those who profess to lie fami
liar with the situation.
Harry W. Miller, the first man arrest
ed, was taken to Roseburg Monday to go
to jail or raise ^1000 bonds. It was ex

unusual activity in the timber land bus
iness in Medford says a recent dispatch
to the Oregonian. About September 1st
of this year Harry W. Miller dropped
into Medford from Myrtle Creek, Or.,
and won thereafter a great number of
titular land filings were made in town
ships 40 and 41 south, range 2 and 3
west. The fact that these filings were
made in almost solid blocks, and the
further fact that many of them were
made by [arsons who, under ordinary
circumstnces, would not lx- able to pay
the ex|M-nses of location, advertising and
also |4U0 for the land when proofs were
made, led government officials to suspect
that there was something wrong.
Benton Waits for Mill
The 40-stamp mill for the Benton mine
on Mt. Reuben will not lie installed
until next year, the managers of the
mine having decided that it is not prac
ticable to attempt to freight so large an
amount of machinery at so late a period
in the year. A new road two miles in
length will have to I m - built before the
mill is taken in. Heavy winter freight
ing over new mountain roads is a hercu
lean and expensive task and the mana
gers are acting wisely in deferring the
transportation of the machinery until
spring.— Rogue River Courier.
Lo Reside at Joes Bar
Edward Faucett came in from the Blue
Ledge copper district last Friday even
ing and met his wife who just recently
returned from a visit with her parents
who reside in Coos county. They re
turned to Joes Bar on the stage Monday
where they will reside this winter and
look after the p’are it: the interest of the
Blue Ledge Mining Company. It is not
their intention to keep a regular “stop-
ping place” for people going to and com-1
ing from the district as Mr. Faucett is
employed by the company to look after
their freighting and [Mick horses which
will require his entire attention.
