Mineral Well.

The other day workmen en-
ployed upon the premises OF Mr
T. C. Dry sunk a well and tapped
vein of water whlch flowed in
so rapidly that in few minutes
there were eight feet OF water in
the well. The water was unusu !.
ally clear. aud Mr.. Dry congratu>
lated himself upon the snceessful
work of his men. There was no
complaint made Dy the tenants of
the house on the lot as to the
quality of the water until the lady
OF the house attempted TO make
tea with it. Wien the tea was
poured out it was discovered to
be as black as the blackest of
ink. This discovery led to tast>
ing the water, when 1t was found
that it had the flavor of mineral
water. A 10: of it was brought
to town aud subjected to chem-
ical analysis and pronounced to
contain sulphur, iron, maguesia
and other properties similar to
those found in the celebrated
springs OF El Paso de Robles, in
San Louis Obispo county, Cal.
Drinking the water also revealed
the tact that il possessed cathartic
properties similar to those Of the
world>renowned springs neal
Ems, IN Germany. Immediately
after THE anal. SIS several offers te
purchase a half interest In the
well were made by different par.

ed to sell to no one, aud ha.
since sent several bottles of the
water to different chemists in Sar

NEW nlsc1YsRY
New Mines and a New Spring.

u
Messrs. Compton and Strother
returned lone from prospects
ing tour during the week. While
absent the gentlemen discovered
and located a placer mining claim
north of ii, Steam Beer mines,
on Grave creek. The prospects
obtained show the ground to be
valuable. and with a good season 8
run a fortune will be taken from
the mine. The owners will pro-
ceed to prepare the claim at once
fsr the Winters run of water.
Mr.. Strother also discovered
spring which would be a fortune
for it's owner ii it were located
near a city. The spring in ques>
ton Is fit only for laundry purs
poses. While tramping through
the woods Mr.. Strother had his
clothes besmeared with pitch. and
oming on to the spring thought he
baught he wonld wash his over
a!ls before gong to camp. Using
his shovel he soon enlarged the
spring to the size suiting tnespnr-
pose, and taxing off his overaiis
hs plunged them into the wafer
and there let them soak. His
surprise on finding them clean
when he started to rub them may
be better imagined than described.
While the clothes had been soak>
ing the water had removed not
only all the grease aud pitcn but
dirt also. Mr.. Strother imme-
dlately pulled off the remainder
of his clothing and put them IN
the water; in ten minutes they
were as clean as il they had been
through the hands of an expert
eaced laundryman. The spring
flows water su fiicient to do all the
washing for city as large as
Portland, and some of the water
will be subjected to a
chemical analysis at an early day.
We suggest the spring be called
Strother'S Washer.

eRAn0 APPRECIATE MINES!
he --latest and Richest Discovery IN
Southern Oregon!
--latest News From The Mines!


From Mr.. ]. Z. Clough, who has just re-
turned from jackson county. we learn that
there has been rich strike of pay dirt
made In the claims of the Grand Applegate
probably the richest made in jackson
county within the past ten years. MIR.
Cloush says Il is the opinion OF miners of
experience the company in question had once
more tapped the great pay streak found in
the early days Of mining in that section,
and aft rwards lost. The company have at
last got their claim open, and are running
two shifts OF hands, and the giant is kept
constantly playing against thirty feet Of
bank. The last prospects show this bank to
prospect from the top down all the way from
1211s cents 10 $225 to the pan Of dirt washed
Such diggings would be considered q rich
strike to the miner shoveling in the dirt by
hand labor into siuice boxes, but is large
fortune assured to the owners of the claim,
working i. as they do by the hydraulic pro-
50. In the Gin Lin claim there is hardly
found color to the pan, and yet the
Ghinaman is making fortune. At the rate
only of Ave cents to the pan, the Grand
Applegate Mining Company should take out
$50. 600 per month at least; at the present
prospect the yield per month should be five
times greater for the same period at least,
and possibly eight times the amount. A
couple of miners who have visited the mine
give it as their opinion that the yield from
the mine within the next four weeks will
reach, if it does not exceed 500. 900.
Since the strike a great number of jackson
county miners have visited the mine, and they
have generally agreed that the strike is an sx-
rich one. and many who had owned
claims in the neighborhood aud abandoned
them have returned to the ground and pro-
pose holding it for the future rains in the
mountains.
The Grand Applegate Company have the
best of water privileges, and will be able to
work their ground about five months in the
year. In this much they have decided ad
Vantageover any other company in jackson
,ounty.
In this connection we would say that this
ate strike is proof that the best mines of
Jackson county are yet TO be found. The
mining done heretofore in that county has
been mustly upon the surface and in shallow
Iiggings. There is but little more of such
mining to be done. Hereafter the miner
must go into the hilIsides and down into the
leep bars, and when this is done we may ex-
rope for return to jackson eouaty the pros
,erous days belonging to the first discoveries
lpon tho tributaries of Rogue river.
