where 1t Is said professional, business and
laboring men are looking towards the
hills and anxiously waiting settlement of
the weather with the view of taking a
prospecting tour New impetus Is given
to the excitement each day by the return
of prospectors with specimens of rich gold
bearing quartz, and glowing accounts OF
the possibilities of the mineral belt of
Southern Oregon. But all previous re-
turns were totally eclipscd when d II Horn
came to town with pocketful of quartz.
Many of the specimens contained almost
an equal amount of gold and quartz.
Many of the specimens contained almos.
an equal amount of gold and quartz, some
of the particles of gold being as large as a
pea. Five pounds of this rock, when
pounded out by hand mortar, produced
over $Ioo, which would run the percentage
up to the modest sum of $4,000 to the
ton. Horns claim Is on Gall creek about
"a miles west of this oity.-Grants Pass

dent and speaker and reached his desk.

as It Is duplicate of house bill that has

Statesman.
TIE NEW SCHOOL LAw.-As stated yes
terdav the new school law does not ap-
ply to Albany. 1t states distinctly that
the last q 8 or state census shall regu-
late the matter. The census Of 1880
gives the incorporated city a population
Of 3O79 according 10 a census bulletin on
our table. Hence the election will have
to procsed az heretofore, and q clerx as
Nell as directors be elected. Obenausr's
correct, gives Albany 1852, bnt will not
count under this law. Senator Wealth
erford does not state that Albany will
come under ths provisions of the law .
The district will remain the same as now.
This is to be regretted as the provisions
OF the Law are good ones, and would ad-
vance the interests Of our public schools.
But figures are figures.
