Oregon's First Mining Code

Josephine county, Of this state, was
the first section of the Northwest TO
adopt mining code, and the story con-
nected with the adoption Of the code is
an interesting one, being as it is a part
Of the pioneer history of our state.
In 1851 the only mining district known
to exist in the state was that of the
Josephine district. Miners were flock.
ing in from California on the south, and
from the Willamette Valley and Van
couver on the north. The whole horde
Of miners was congregatlng at the one
district known-that Of Waldo and Alt
house, western Josephine. There were
no existing mining laws in the Oregon
Territory code, and the pioneers soon
realized the necessity of having COM
mon rule adopted to save confusion,
trouble, and the lives OF many OF their
number, as the method pursued OF let
ting each man be his own law would
naturally cause dissatisfaction in the
end.
Accordingly on the first day Of Ap II,
1862, on the bank of Canyon Greek, a
tributary of the Rogue, 40 miners as
sembled beneath large fir tree and
drafted and adopted the fret mining
code Of the Northwest. The text Of the
code as adopted read as follows:
"Know all men by these presents /:
That the miners IN council assembled,
on this the lst day of April, 1862, do or
dain and adopt the following rules and
regulations to govern this camp:
Received, First, that 90 yards shall
constitute a claim in the bed OF creek 4.
extending to high water on each side
Resolved, Second, that 40 feet shall
constitute bank or bar claim on the
face extending back TO the hill or the
mountain.
Resolved, Third, that all claims not
worked, when workable, after five days,
be forfeited or jumpabe.
Resolved, Fourth, that all disputes
arising from mining claims shall be set.
tied by arbitration, and the decision
shall be final.
"Attcst, T.. j. NoRTHcUrr,
Chairman" "
Mr.. Norlhcutt was one Of The leading
pioneers aud Indian fighters in the
early days. lie was with General Lane
in the Indian dght ON Evans Greek, an d
was wounded in the arm during tie
battle. This was in 1866. The next
year he was with General Smith at the
Battle Of Hungry Hill, being Captain Of
a company OF pioneer fighters. Mr..
Northcutt served in IS Indian fights in
Oregon during the early days, aud wab
twice wounded. d.-Dennis Stoyal in Tee-

IT Is quite probable that this country

Flight on Bonds.

From present indications the new bond
voting proposition will have harder tray
cling than any other of the kind that
has come before the people Of Hutchin'
son for many day While the peti'
tions for the calling of special cleo
ton are being circulated remonstrance
is also going round and, as the informa'
ton goes, with many signers. 1t seems
quite likely that the other railroads, OF
at least some of them, are opposing the
bonds, 1t seemed TO be the people who
are interested in the new Independent
Salt Co, that are interested in making
the connection with the Frisco so that
they can have access TO the southern
coal fields, The Goulds and the Mis-
souri Pacific are interested in the old
salt trust and naturally would
like 10 see the Independent Salt people
fail of their purpose, However if the
Independent Co are really intending to
buck the trust they will not let the lit
tie matter Of securing $4,000 bonus
hinder or prevent their enterprise.

AS one stroll over the city he Is sur
prised at the number OF new houses that
are In course OF construction, He may
also be surprised that so many Of them
are located in the suburbs and are not
larger than FIVE or six rooms, many Of
them smaller, While this does not
make a great show nor present the best
appearance it is perhaps good indi-
cation. It's not boom business done
on borrowed capital, II Is the work Of
the everyday common people going into
homes, OF course some Of the money
may be borrowed and doubtless Is. Per-
haps many Of them are relying on the
work Of the future to pay for the homes,
But with these moderate expenditures
the money to be paid in getting the
home will be little more than that which
would necessarily be paid for rent and
in the end the property will be theirs
or course there is danger of OVERRIDING
the matter Of building as was done in
boom time before, but it does not app
pear to have passed the conservative
and wholesome stage as yet. 1t may
do so in year Or two.

THERE is now considerable specula-

appointed city marshal by the new ad-
ministration. There are several candi-
dates that are mentioned but as to
which one will be winner no one seems
to have an idea, Probably the mayor
himself has not, George Hern has
many friends who wish to see him secure
the place His administration several
years ago seems to have been very sat
isiactory one and last year he had the
endorsement of the law and order peo-
pie by being their candidate, Present
policeman Frank Nicholson has also
many friends. He has been one officer
on the present force who has been eff
Cient. He is strong, athletic young
man, fearless, and a man rough charac-
ters must respect, Frank Roberts, who
has been constable for year or two is
said also to be a candidate, and Mr.,
Tedrick has been spoken of favorably,
The field is still open for new entries if
any desire, for the appointments will
not be made under the new law till the
