Bicycle thieves have been operating very
extensively for some time past and strin-
gent measures ought to be taken to protect
the owners Of wheels. The police depart
ment has done good service in recovering
bicycles, but under the present law they
work at disadvantage. The statutes
ought to be changed and the offense of BIZ
cycle stealing be made grand larceny in
stead of petty larceny, as 1t now is. The
operations of the thieves would then be
reduced to a minimum. This Is a question
really as important as good roads and 1t

Quick Silver in Oregon

Up to this time California has furnished
the entire output of quicksilver in the
United States, no cinnabar deposits else
where having been commercially devel-
oped. Now Oregon may go on record, ac-
cording to the Oregon Mining Journal,
which says:
"Quicksilver is soon to be produced in
large quantities from the Black Butte
mines in Lane county, about seventeen
miles southeast of Cottage Grove. There
is mountain of ore of all degrees of rich
ness, up to Sc per cent mercury. A contract
has been let for the construction of thir-
ty-ton quicksilver furnace, with condenser,
fryer. etc.. and every preparation is being
made for working the property the coming
season. The report of the experts who ex-
amined the Black Butte mine says: All the
Indications. from present developments,
warrant the conclusion that the entire
mountain is an immense deposit of quick
silver ore, which will produce practically
Q to per cent which, with the ease and
cheapness with which it could be worked
makes 1t one of the most valuable mining
propositions in the world .

Nav Erect a Mill

The Shadow Mountain Mining company
which bought the Winters claims, near
Marvel, in San Bernardino county, has
sent out Col. Atkinson to view the prop
erty, and if i'll his opinion there is ore
enough in sight it will at once erect a
five-stamp mill at Valley Wells and run
this while developing the mines. But it ex-
poets in the near future to put up mill
near the mines. as at present the haul will
be about nine miles.-Los Angeles Review.

Los Angeles Smelter Talk

There is again talk of a smelter for Los
Angeles. Although that city is not IN a
mining region, it is well supplied with
transportation facilities and its railroads
extend through a wide mining territory.
But an ore treating plant on an extensive
scale takes a great deal of money to start
and great deal of expense to operate.
One at Los Angeles would have to bid
against several competing works already
running at other places. Still, as the min
ing developments in the southwest in
crease, there should be room for another
smelter.-San Francisco Examiner.

Hon VIII D. Wright's Delicate
Position.

Hon Will d. Wright is certainly
in a peculiar position. Judge Glib
son said emphatically that Mr..
Wright was not his choice for U. s.
District Attorney. But the people,
the majority of them were antl-Gib-
son, forced Mr.. Wrights appoint
ment. Now Mr.. Wright is called
upon to either stand by his real
friends or to desert them and stand
by Judge Gibson, who was forced
to do what he did do and even
went so far as to write hundreds of
letters apologising for Mr.. Wright's
appointment, and who, not thirty
days ago, said he had made great
mistake when he did appoint him.
We are Mr.. Wrights personal
friend, we wish him success, but
we do hope he will stop and con-
slider before he acts so rashly again
as he did at Clinton. Now was
this Mr.. Trent, a man whom Gibson
worships, we could TO some extent
excuse him, but Mr.. Wright, who
we have always thought the soul
of honor, surprises us.-Rockwood
