not discovered or worked much
until after the Indian war, in
1866, during which time the
mining industry through South
ern Oregon was entirely sus-
pended and not resumed until
1857, when the celebrated Sum-
3 ers' diggings were discovered
by Jake Summers, on the main
Skies, below the mouth of the
South Fork, which supported
quite a mining population for a
number of years, in the way of
boarding houses, saloons and
bowling alleys, all in flourish
ing condition during the early
mining on the south and middle
Skies and lower Skies rivers.
The meaning of the word Skies is
friend. In the early mining and
settling of the Skies, the In
dians living along the stream
claimed to be friendly to the
white people, and never took
part with the other Indians, in
the wars against the whites.
Salmon Gulch, on which the
celebrated Salmon Mountain
mine is now located, is a tribu-
tary of the Co,quille, was discov-
cred in 1860 by Summers and
others, and was very rich in
placer gold, paying as high as
500 per day to the hand in the
first working of the gulch, and
has been worked more or less
ever since, and still being at the
present time worked with paying
results, as are all the old placers
of both counties being worked
to a greater or less extent ever
since their first discoveries in the
early fifties. AS to the amount
oc gold taken out during the
lapse of time since then is an
impossibility even to guess at, as
we have no available statistics
at present to show, and the
amount will likely never be
known, and will go down with
the history of the past of things
AS soon as it was
known that Burton and Vener-
able had been murdered by the |
Indians, they organized small
and succeeded in cap
turing three Of the five Indians,
who committed the murder and
gave them a fair and impartial
trial and hung them to tree.
The fourth one at the close of
the Indian war, in SO, was hung
on Battle Rock, at Port Oxford,
and the fifth one made his es-
cape from the gallows-that is
ne never was caught.

From "History Of Coos and Curry

Countess" by Orville Dodge,
The placer or beach mining
was discovered in 1923, north
of the mouth Of the Coquille
river, known as the old Ran
dolph mines, and the celebrated
gold Run-Cape Blanco. Port
Oxford and Gold Beach, at the
mouth of Rogue river, were the
first of the beach mining in the
early history of the two counties
which at that time was all con-
tanned in Coos, which yielded
immense returns in fine gold for
many years, and still some Of
the old beach mines are yet pay
ing. In 1854 the interior coun-
try from the beach had never
been explored or prospected for
gold. Johnson, Hixon, Chas.
Suttler, VIM. Packwood, Pres.
Caldwell, John Sweat, Irudel
Bray, and Joe Drinkwater, dug
out a large canoe and loaded
it with provisions and tools ana
started up the Coquille river to
prospect the interior for coarse
gold. Making their way up the
river as far as Roland prairie,
with. their canoe, and from there
packing their supplies on ami
mails and making their trail as
they went, over the mountains
to Johnson creek, where they
made their grand discovery of
coarse gold and ever afterwards
Johnson was known as Coarse
Gold Johnson. A few days
prior to their starting, a young
man, by the name of Venerable,
and another by the name of
Burton, started up the Coquille
river in a canoe, with the inten-
ton of prospecting the upper
river for gold, but never reached
there, being killed by the In
dians at or near the mouth of
Deadman's Slough, the Indians,
five in number, swimming out
from the shore and upsetting
their canoe and killing the men
while in swimming water, with |
the paddles. After the Johnson |
party arrived at Roland prai-
rie and were preparing for the trip |
over the mountains, Buris and |
Drinkwater returned with the |
canoe to Randolph, and it was
on their way down the river that
hey found the body of one of
.he men who was killed by the
Indians, which was the first that
was known that they had been
murdered. The other mans

The czar's suggestion to the
powers, that a peace conference be
held, with view to the disarmament
OF the nations, has aroused storm OF
discussion throughout the world. On
the whole it has not received the
warm reception which it merits, and
which 1t would receive from the
"Christian nations" did their chris
tianity consist In anything more than
the name. The truth is that the So
called Christian nations are no better
than the pagan, When they think
they see chance to sandbag and rob
q weaker power. There is not weak
nation on earth that could keep It's
independence six months, but for the
fact that the great Christian nations
are afraid and jealous OF each other.
If they could agree on the division Of
the spolls, they would parcel out the
rest of the world among themselves 10
short order, Bnd the "natives" would
be whipped into submission.
The hopelessly weak "powers"
would be glad to see general disarm-
ament, but the strong ones want to
continue the senseless race for the
best army and navy, each In hopes
that IL may be able to outstrlp the
Others and then turn and smash It's
enemies.
The czar is little "too previous"
England will never consent to disarm
so long as she is In the lead, any more
than she will consent TO bimetalllsm
so long as the appreclatlng gold stand
ard is robbing the rest of the world
for her enrichment.
When the nations can bear the in
creasing burden no longer they will
fight. and after that perhaps they
will listen TO reason.

"When the oest money can be bor-
rowed with good security at ~ per
cent It Is, perhaps, cheap enough and
no reasonable man can wish TO sub
stitutessomething cheaper"
The above is a good specimen Of
a gold standard editors logic. They
howl and fume and froth at the
mouth, against "cheap money" and
they take another tack and try to
prove that we already have "cheaper"
money than the world has ever seen
before.
They tell us that low interest means
cheap money; that the gold standard
gives us low interest; that they are
opposed to cheap money; and that
they are 10 favor Of the gold standard.
The first proposition is not true;
the other three are the truth. Low
Interest does not mean cheap money,
1t means that there is more "money
to loan" than there is demand for.
1t means that men who own money
would rather lend 1t or hoard IL than
to put into any kind OF action busi-
ness, because there is no money to be
made in any legitimate business. 1t
means that men with good security
but no money, will not borrow money
and put 1t into active use, because
they see no opening for a profitable |
venture OF that kind. 1t means that |
times are hard, 1t means that "con-
fidence is distroyed"-no confidence
in money, but confidence in every
thing but money. 1t means stagna-
tion and starving women and naked
children. That Is what 1t means.

A LIVELY CAREER.
But the Young Man Will Spend Some
Time In IaiI


A good-looking young man named John
H. Parr, whose home is in Baltimore. came
to this city in July last and today he ap-
peared in Judge KimbalTs court on several
charges of dishonesty. When he came here
he brought letters of recommenda ton and
by means Of these letters he found employ
ment with Mr.. William H. Coleman, who
is a dealer in bicycle sundries. For some
reason the young man was not required to
give bond. He went on a business trip
through Maryland and Delaware and after
his return he fell in the hands of the po-
lice. While here he called on Miss Addie
M. Smith at 500 9th street, and on Sunday
afternoon he induced her to let him wear
her diamond ring, worth 500. His failure
to return the piece Of jewelry the next day
did not excite her suspicion, and later on
in response to a note, she sent him another
diamond ring. He had made a bet of some
kind, he informed her, and he also told her
that he would return both rings when he
called that evening. Because of her i'm
p1cit confidence in the young Baltimoreau
she sent him the second ring, and when he
did not call for several days she went to
his boarding house to see him. She was
surprised when she learned of his having
moved, and she then invoked the aid of the
police. In the meanwhile Parr had hired
bicycle from the firm of H, W. Higham &
Co. and sold it for 81. He also disposed of
some of his employers property. The po-
lice investigation of the case resulted in
the young mans arrest by Detectives Proc
tor and Baur. They recovered the bicycle
and sundrieS and found where he had
pawned the rings at Steinem's and Full
tons. In the case involving the theft of
the bicycle he pleaded guilty. He also ad-
mitted having sold some of his employers
property. Judge Kimball heard the state
ment of Miss Smith as to how she parted
with her rings and held the young man for
the grand jury. In the other cases he was
sent to Jail for four months

Mr.. NJ. F. ODonoghue of 1909 Kenesaw
avenue has addressed a letter to the Dis
triot Commissioners calling attention to
the need Of paving for Kenesaw avenue
from 18th to 14th streets with asphalt
blocks: also for the grading and macad-
amizing of the avenue from 18th street to
Brightwood avenue and the laying of side
walk on one side.
Mr.. ODonoghue will be informed that
the cost of paving the avenue from 18th to
14th streets. IS requested, and the setting
of curbs will cost 81, 500; that the roadway
was graded and graveled from 14th to 7th

GEORGETOWN MARKET.
Effort to Widen the Sidewalks: to Ac-
comm OII,,te Earmers

Complaint was recently made to the Dis
trict Commissioners that farmers frequent
ing the Georgetown Market and Offering
their goods for sale were encroaching too
much on adjoining streets. An investiga-
ton developed the fact that the space on
the south side of the market is occupied by
the hay scales. On the north side a rapid
transit line runs, preeuding the occupancy
of the street for other purposes. This
leaves only the streets on the east and
west sides of the market for the use of
farmers. On these two streets the road
ways are quite broad and the payements
too narrow to accommodate the farmers
and their wares. Commissioner Wight ad-
dressed letter to Capt. Beach, the En-
gineer Commissioner. stating that sufficient
space could be had if on either side of each
of these streets the pavement could be eX-
tended three feet. He asked to be informed
if the character of the streets is such that
this can be done, and whether the work
can be carried out by the engineer depart
ment.
Superintendent of Streets Moss has re-
ported that if the drivewayG on either side
have wagons delivering goods to the mar
ket house, and standing at right angles to
that building, there will not be sufficient
room to allow an extension of the width of
sidewalks requested, and not obstruct the
maui of hay to the District scales. Mr..
Hunt, the computing engineer, concurrad
in the opinion that the roadways are no
wider than they should be, but stated that
the work might easily be done by the sur
face departments if the Necessary funds are
provided. 1t is not believed that any ap-
preparation at present under control is
properly applicable to such an expenditure
Commissioner Wight today returned the
papers to Capt. Beach with further re-
quest that if there be no funds available
for the work of widening the sidewalks he
will kindly have an estimate prepared of
what the work will cost that a request
may be made to Congress for the money
The suggestion about the roadways not be-
ing wide enough for hay wagons to pass
While wagons are backed up against the
curb, Mr.. Wight says, can be met with a
statement that a regulation can be made
by which hay will only be received at the
