Reserved seats on sale at I^ester & Schultz-Don't forget the date-One week, starting Monday Dec. 19 1904. The writer has known the Fischer Company ami attended their perform ances for the past three years ami can say without fear of contradiction that it is one of the best, if not the very best, theatrical company's now touring the Pacific Const country and should have a packed house every evening of their week's stay in Jacksonville. Both John Fischer, and his brother W. H. Ficher, who is advance agent, were atone time residents of this place where they worked at their trade for several years. We have not learned whether a special train will be run from Medford or not, but perhaps there will, as the Fischer Company judging from the performances A canvass of the popular vote at the last Presidential election, complete ex cept as to one county in Tennessee, and four counties in Michigan, where esti mates are given, show» that President Roosevelt defeated Judge Parker by 2,546,169. He polled the largest vote ever given a President of the United States, 7,640,560. This is more than 400,000 in excess of the vote cast for Mc Kinley in 1900. The official figuers for Missouri show that Roosevelt carried that state by 25,600, In Maryland one Republican Elector received the largest vote, but his col league» were defeated. The I>emocrat» of Maryland, therefore, will have »even votes in the Electoral College, while the Republicans will have only one. A comparison with the vote table of 1900 shows a marked change in the Socialist vote. Itelw, the candidate of the party that y«ar was also thia year’s candidate, and his vote shows an increase of more than .300,000. Watson, the Pop ulist cadidate ran strongest in his own state Georgia, where he received 22,635 votes. He received most of his votes in the South and West but only one vote was cast for him in South Carolina. The total vote is given as 13,534,119, and that for each of the Presidential candidates is given as follows: Roosevelt, Republican 7,640,560 Parker, l>emocrat 5,094,391 Debs, Socialist 392,857 Swallow, Prohibitionist 248,411 Watson, Populist 124,381 Corrigan, Socialist Labor 33,519 The electoral vote will be 336 for Roose velt and 140 for Parker. MILL IS COMPLETED Construction and Installation of Ma chinery is finished at the New Opp Mill and 10 Stamps Will Begin Dropping at Once. POWER EROM DR. RAY’S COMPANY Work ha s been progressing so quietly and yet so rapidly on the newOppquaitz mill a mile west of town on Jackson creek that many people who reside in town do not fully realize the extent or importance of the work that has just been completed right here in our midst, much less those who reside elsewhere. The new mill which will liegin dropping its stamps today for the first time. All the machinery except the stamps have already been tested, including the new electric motors which furnish power gen erated at Ray Dam by the Condor Water & Power Co. The company have their ore bins filled and will run steadily after this if there is no hitch in the new machinery. Work is progressiug rapidly in tunnel No. 9 where two shifts are getting out ore for the mill. They already have a full force of men both in the mines and the mill, and do not expect to employ more men this year at least. Those interested in this enterprise are mining men who go quietly about their business, not caring to attract any great attention yet intent upon their business. They believe in “doing things” and never indulge in “hot air" or loud talk to attract attention. The new mill has done, and will do much toward the upbuilding of our town and the promotion of mining in this sec tion. A nice clean-up every month does more to advertise the quartz resources of any mining section than all the news paper talk that is ever indulged in, and we predict that this mill will be the means of bringing this district before the public, and interesting outside capital in other mining enterprises to an extent hitherto unknown. Our Mineral Exhibit. Mr. D. H. Weyant, who is looking after the collection of Oregon minerals for the Lewis & Clark fair was in Jack sonville again Wednesday in the interests of the Jacluon county exhibit at the ex position and with his enthusiasm and en couragement set the local mining men to hustling up the exhibit that is to repre sent the county of the great fair next year in Portland. However several of our most enterprising men have not been wholly idle and a rig was already out in the mining districts gathering up samples for this purpose. Mr. Weyant had just left Gold Hill, where they had commenced on an exhi bit some time ago which is now ready for shipment and expressed himself as not only pleased but surprised at the won derful exhibit they had collected in the locality of that hustling little town. We believe that when the shipment is ready to leave Jacksonville that it will be second to none in all Oregon either in variety or quality, as there is no section of Oregon with the varied and wonderful mineral resources of this immediate lo cality. Ball At Ruch. There will be a New Year’s Ball at Ruch, Oregon on the evening of Wed nesday, Dec. 28th 1904 to which all are invited.
