VOORHIES, FRED MF.NSCH, I'KOl'K. A Mnur Editob Entered at the post oflioe at Grants Oregon, as second-claim mail matter. THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, The Drain Watchman announces llial the next issue will be in last under the present management and suggetta the possibility ol Its publication erasing altogether at that time. Insurgent officer! in the 1'liilippines are still surrendering from time to time, and the supply is not yet exhausted. In Manila, the military force mill be in creased to guard against possible uprising, The city is orderly, but it is thought best to be on the dale aide.

A good work is being done in the Inlands in educational matters and schools. The natives are very bright and eager to learn France and Turkey appear to he on the verge ol war. The Frenrb ambassador has left Constantinople and diplomatic relation have been severed. It is like ly that the Turkish empire however, will ultimately yield lo almost any demand on the part ol ranee before risking a war with that nation. The Tinkled gov ernment has been dead or years, but continues to hang together as long as the nations keep "bands oil." The baseball reason, as far a we ar concerned, is over and in some ways it In a relief, Baseball is a good gmno, but It ia productive ol bickering, little potty quarreling, between neighbor towns which is humiliating, iiaseball is not among the serious things of life.

It is only play and not to be taken seriously l'eople forget that sports are not to be made too important or they lose their character ami become serious matters. Fun become earnest ia almost invariably harmful Until lately, the Idea prevailed that a 'pocket" was a mere detached gold da- posit and that when it was exhausted, 1 here was r.o need of looking any fur ther. Hut moie lately prospectors have lound that pockets almost always occur in a vein like a ledge, anil if the vein can be followed, other pockets will be dis covered. The vein is often very Irregular and broken near the surface, but sel dom falls to become fixed and permanent with depth. The old chestnut that the Southern Pacific -company is surveying new route to avoid the I'ow creek canyon waa re-sprung recently.

Home one saw a party of surveyors at work on Evans creek and jumped at the foregoing conclusion. This rumor lias been advanced a number of times in past years but it is utterly without foundation. The Cow creek canyon ia a troublesome piece of road, but the Canyon creek canyon would bo atill worse. All the routes were examined at the proper time, be lore the road waa built. The railroad company does not go building Mads round through the woods and then tearing them up again.

They build it where they want, it and let it stay there. They do llieir preliminary work before the road is built, not afterwards. The strike still continues, thutigh both sides earnestly desire peace If only it would come in. the particular manner lo satisfy the desiiua ol each. Klforis lo reach an agreement have iltlierto fallen flat.

Some nulls are running with nonunion men and it ia a peculiarity of this strike that, thohgh it is stubborn, there Is no violence or lawlessness as has keen too often the case heretofore. Instead of shooting non union men with gnus, the.ltrikers use a camera instead. At one Chicago factory, the pictures of the lion union men are takeu every lime thev enter or havu the works. These pictures are to be circulated among the dillereut unions and will give the men au unenviable character among those organisations. The public Is heartily and completely faired of the strike and ita patience I being sorely tried.

The watermelon crop of this year ia a reminder of the foolishness of heralding uncertain calamity, or in other words, ol "iueallng before you're hurt." When the severe liout last spring blackened the vinea, it was advertised far and wide that the Josephine county melons were "all killed." Later it Was discovered that there would be a few melons, mid the ultimate result is that the nop is neurly equal Iu the average, both in quality ami quantity. Now next spring, when we have a lale host, it would tie just aa well for thu people lo be economical with llieir assertions an.l pessimistic prophesies for a fea iys, at least until an intelligent appraisement ol the dam-age is possible. very cprinu, as sire as the spring comes, there is, ami al ais will lie, a report hiiinrheil that I lie hint is "all kill' tu)i iIiihk Iihh ni'terj let Imppcmd.

NIStiUfcIS AND DUST. The) Scrlbner-Henderson Mine ex. Wonder Operations at Other Prominent Mines. The present wonder among the varions wonderful gold-producers of Southern Oregon is the Scribner-Henderson mine, of the Wolf Creek district, northeastern Josephine County. This mine, whose discovery and progress waa chronicled in Tne Telegram, continues to shower its fortunes upon Ihe lucky woodcutters bo abandoned their axes a few months ago and stumbled serosa the bidden treasure that lias made them independently rich.

II. C. Perkins, a mining man of Ibis city, returned yesterday from a prospecting trip through the Wolf Creek district, ind reports that there is no cessation of the mine In revealing its rich bunches of gold. Owing to the peculiar nature of the Scribner-Henderson mine, the manner of working it is likewise unique, 'lbere is so much gold in the ledge snd it occurs so thickly distributed that no other methods of extracting are pursued other than panning. Tbs gold occurs in bunches and seems lound at regular intervals slong the route of a stringer or lead, that follows up Ihe mountain near the surface.

To wash the gold, the rain era have brought a amall stream in wood en conduits to the working grounds. In numerous places the wooden conduits widened cut into Isrger water toxes, which give ample room for the several miners to operate their pane. Day after day Ihe miners have panned and continue to pan the rich dirt, yielding from 25 ceots to $100 to the pan. The miners say that many pans of dirt have beea washed from which ihe nuggets could be picked like potatoes Irnm a hill. Shortly alter the discovery on pan of dirt waa washed that contained 4 pounds of Ihe preciona yellow metal.

During Ihe few months that Ihe miners have been working the claim an enor mous sum of money has been removed, just bow much would be bard to estimate; but many thousand uollara of nuggets from the mine have been brought lo Uranta Pass and exchanged at the banking bouses. A stewpan full of the yellow grains brought in at one time was weighed in the bankers' scales and $1120 given in exchange. Besides free gold the pockets and bunches contain a large amount of sul- pburets which are very rich. Tnese base formations are thrown aside in the excitement and esgerness to get the 'pure stuff," but they will be treated later on. There ia too much of the pure article to bother at this time with the stubborn sulphurets.

Just wbal will develop from this won derlul discovery ia a question for consid erable discussion anions the Southern Oregon miners. Many are of the opinion that it will develop in time into an ex tensive and very rich ledge. The mine Ilea on a contact of porphyry and serpen' tine. The gold is found in the porphyry, the stringers all leading toward the con tact. The bunches of yellow metal oc cur every few incline along the stringers.

bxpeiieuced miners who have examined the claim express the opinion that it ill develop into a mine of prominence. Aa lo these things the owners say but little, nor do they care, as they are too busy piuxing up the gold on the aurface to dig down in search of a ledge. John K. Harvey, superintendent of the noted A. A B.

hydraulic mines of the (Jalice mining district, reports that he baa a crew of 40 men at work preparing these extensive placer workings for next sason'a run. The mines are being thor oughly overhauled, new ditches and flumes are being built and the old ones repaired. In point nf output, tbc.ee mines have always been the gigantic placer proposition of Southern Oregon but Ihe owners claim that with tlie ad dition ol the new equipment uow being installed and the amount of repairing work being done, this monster hvdraulic mine will produce twice as inucb this winter aa it has ever dous belore. In the Coyote Creek district, which ia situated on the south side ol the divide, Iving between Coyote and Wolf Creels, are many prospectors, and several new claims have been located and are beinu worked, some of them making rich showings. Among these are the Little Jack and Anaconda claims, both of which, give promise of developing into good mines.

Among the many proa pectors working the district are several miners from Alaska and British Columbia. Moat all of these men have located claims and will develop the ledues for belter or worse. While the Coyote and Wolf Creek districts have been mined for the past 40 years, they have Ireen run over hurriedly by pockel-hiinleiM and placer miners, the ledges being over Piecing That's a word hich mav not be in the dictionary iu this sense of Us use. but which ia in very common use in some sections ot the country.

The big Ruble hydraulic mines ol the Coyote district, like moat all others of the Southern Oregon placera, are undergoing a thorough overhauling and receiving additional equip sent preparatory for the coming winter's run.

These mines cover a broad territory of auriferous ground extending for two miles along Coyote. The big featurea of the mines are the it utile grizzley or hydraulic elevator and the exceedingly lii gravel of the working grounds. Among the older quai'i workings to be found along Coyote Creek that are being worked and developed are the tjneen Anne, the St. latwreno and the Harah Belle.

Where a lode location cf a milling claim is made, and it subsequently appears that ttie lode, in-tnad of crossing the end lines of the location, crussis ti side line, the rule of law ia that the side lines become the end lim and the extralateial right extends under and beyond one of the enj hues, and the side lines liecoine the l.nesof the vertical end planes. If the claim has become patented before the discovery of the true apex line of the lode is made, the title to Ihe surface Ins become veiled and carries with it nil other lodes that may apex within it. II the discovery is made before patent issues, any veins ta.it apex over 30J feet away would seem to be subject to location.

The law limits the width of ground to 3IK) feet on the Bides of the apex line of the lode. The law will not, make valid a location that does not conform the law, because it was not so intentionally At the eamo time the laiv cannot he con strued to deprive the locator of what he really discovered and located. No righ', valid under the original location loi-ea Us priority by resson ol relocation to correct a mistake.

Itio recent copper strike made on Little (ira hack cieek by Itahjock and rutlerman, bids fair to prove itkelf among the most Important yet made in tins county. According lo rejiortB, Jthe new discoveries consists of i parallel ledges cutting diagonally through Little Oray back, each ledge being from 1U0 to 3000 feet apart. Some of thise ledges are of exceptional pioportions, being several hundred feet in width with out croppings appearing on both sides of the mountain. From these various ledges ore has been removed from the auriace aud assayed the returns show a pret ence of Irom 10 to 18 per cent copper, which ia a most remarkable showing to be lound at Ihe surface.

A new strike waa recently made the Copper Slain. A drift was being run in the mine and in the course ol construction a qiurlx body appeared on one sine ol it.

We have been out six days and this is my first attempt starts letter. To return to where 1 left off in mine of uly 21st: If I've remarked that the Lakes were beautiful and the illumina lion at the "Pan" wonderful, I must reach the r.enith and exclaim that Niagara seen from all points is sublime. After an 1'3 hour trolley rule Irom Uutl'alo, along purt of the Niagara riier reached the city of Niagara, stopping at the Government Park. Here were numerous carriages ready to con vey us lo the Kalis at 5c each. Knowing it to be only two minutes walk we lecliued.

Crossing tha Park we stood by a railing right at the point where the American Falls drop 10 feet. It was glorious to be ao close to ihe waler and we enjoyed II lo the full. We walked slowly from point to point getting different views and hen we felt eaiiblied, the question was what nexi? We selected the Maid o' the Mist, walked lown stairs to the river, donned rubber coals and head gear and ulf we were into the mist of the American falls along Island, into the in no a of Horse Shoe Kails an I then to the on the Canadian side.

Kogue Hiver Valley will soon have several irrigation systems, according to J. L. Howard, a civil engineer of Medford, who is in Tortland, says the Ore-gonian. He lias recently been making estimates for the Fish Lake ditch, eight miles of which lias been dug thia year. This ditch draws its water from Little Butte Creek, and its Btirveyed line is 42 miles long, from the headgates to a point opposite Medford, which town will probably be supplied with water by the company.

"The people interested in the ditch," Mr. Howard said yesterday, "are San Francisco capitalists, who own irrigating canals in Central and Southern California and therefore know what they are about. They have obtained title to 1000 acres of level land under this ditch, and besides cultivating this, they will be able to sell water to farmers, fruit growers and placer minors along the route. At the sixteenth-mile stake the company has a 100-foot fall, which can be utilized for manufacturing purposes and for forcing the water to an elevation at Medford should that town decide to deal with us." Mr. Howard thinks the graders will reach the sixteenth-mile stake thii fall.

"The ditch is 10 feet wide at bottom," he said, "15 feet on top. It will carry four and a half feet depth of or about liOtlO miners' inches. JJew-style grading machines and modern scraiers are being used. The ditch will cost mo per mile." fc'TATK or Onto, City ok Toledo,) I.ITAH COI NTV SB. Frank J.
