Southern OREGON Mines.

The OreIonian OF November 9th has
the following interview with L. l.
Sharp, our well known nina owner.
"L l.. Sharp, a mining man of the
Applegate district, in Southern Oregon
who ls a; the St. Charles, says that por
tion Of the state will soon we with
Eastern Oregon in the number and
value OF its quartz lodges
"For a long time Southern Oregon
has been looked upon as pockety
country" he said yesterday, "but the
three mines upon which development
work has been done, down there, are
proving to be ttul au permanent fssure
veins.E These are the Greenback, the
Goldbug and the Ashland mine. They
are now valuable properties, and the
only ones where pick and drill have
reached depth Of 200 feet, in Southern
Oregon.
"rhe quartz mining region in that
portion of the state extends over a much
larger area than in Eastern Oregon,
Jackson, Josephihe, Coos and Curry are
covered by it, as we'll as Siskiyou and
Del Norte counties in California look
for a great deal of quartz development
and some good strikes down there this
winter"
Mr.. Sharp IN company with three
others, took up an abandoned mining
claim on the Apologize last spring, and
the company has been over five months
engag, in replacing old timbers with
new in the main tunnel. At depth of
l40 feet seam Of quartz has been struck
which is % inches wide, and assays

The recent terrible accident on the

to err, and II Is not 10 strange that a
man could make the mistake that Con-

they were running against regular

The injured engineer should be able to

recoyeis sufficiently. We are told that
only few days before this accident, a
similar one was narrowly averted near
Grants Pass. A south bound freight
started out from Grants Pass and met
another only a few miles up the track.
II happened that the trains met where
II was possible to stop before the col.

few days later, would seem TO indicate
that criminal recklessness is rot 30 rare

ugly fact remains that in everything
but official name the United States Is
to-day an empire. and the President an

tual emperor. We have, according to

conquest in progress. What arc these
but the signs and symptoms of en-
pire? We firmly believe that in due
time the Supreme Court and the people
will terminate this imperial nightmare.

AS TO "PLUNKERS."
(Roanoke Tinles.l

AS the date of the city primary APP
pronches 1t may be well TO consider the
matter of the 'plunlker." method of
voting that is said to have figured in
the primaries in this city for several
years past. A "plunker'' can be used
only when two or more men are TO be
selected for the same Office. such, for
instance. as Councilmen. AS is we'll
known, the Democratic primaries select
two men in each ward to stand for cleo
ton as Councllmen. When the voter at
the primary who has the privilege OF
voting for two candidates. votes for
only one, scratching all other names for
that office on the ballot, such vote is
aptly designated a "plunker." AS two
"plunkers'' for "a" will count in the
grand total for as much as three bal
lots for 81 when the voter exercises
his full privilege. 1t will be readily seen
that the ''plunker" has mighty poten-
cy. The legal right of the voter to cast
a "plunker" vote in the absence of
rules to the contrary cannot he denied.
The moral right to exercise such n priv
ilcge in n party primary is. however.
extremely questionable. The April pri
mary will be held for the purpose of Sc
lecting, among other candidates. two
candidates for Council from each of
the five wards. Every Democratic
voter in the city will have the privilege
of participating. not for the purpose OF

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
WHY WOMEN ARE TALLER.
(Chattanooga TimesN

There are different opinions as to
why the average height of women-es-
pecially women whose means give them
freedom from TOLLS about four inches
greater at the end than II was at the
beginning of the century. One philoso-
pher says the reason is found in the
greater amount of outdoor life now.
and for generation past. fashionable,
among our sisters. cousins and aunts.
The open-air life of the modern girl Is
the true reason for her stateliness. her
tallness. 1t is an chronological fact, that
people who live near the sea are much
indoors. and are more or less squat,
physically. The ancestors of the South
American Beers were 200 years ago Il
low statured race. of much girth. Their
descendants OF to-day are, on an aver
age, nearly six feet TALL about six
inches taller than were their great
great grandfathers; and the sons are
slim, while the forbears were paunchy
to a degree.
The Boer literally lives out of doors.
He also lives on his feet or on horse
