Dry DigginEs.

Since the rains, the Dry Dggings
placer has been running at ils fullest
capacity. The owners, @. W. and NJ. 6.
Ament, are preparing to carry out a
large engineering project next summer
TO furnish this mine with water. They
are intending to build dam across
Rogue river, raising the water 20 feet.
The exact site Of the dam has not yet
been determined but wilRbe in the near
vicinity Of Bloody run. The power thus
obtained will be utilized 10 operate q
huge pumping plant which will furnish
water for the large hydraulic equipment
which will be installed. The water will
be transmitted from the pumps directly
10 the gianis, the discharge being regu-
lated and equaized by an air chamber
The enterprise will be one Of the
biggest ever attempted IN this part Of
the state. NJ. @ Ament, who has charge
OF the operations here, is himself a
practical engineer and has a thorough
comprehension Of the project in an its
details. Besides furnishing water ior
the mine, ii Is planned also to use
portion Of the water Tor irrigation par
poses. which would greatly enhance in

Washington's birthday was signalized
by rough and tumble fight in the
United States senate between the two
South Carolina senators, Tillman and
McLaurin. Tillman, in his speech on
the Philippine tariff, made serious 70
Elections on the honor OF his colleague.
McLaurin was not in tho senate at the
time, being engaged in committee work
but was sent for and arrived just as
Tlllman was concluding his speech.
McLaurin declared Tillman's statement
awiliul and malicious lie. whereupon
Tillman leape1 over the benches and
struck bis brother senator In thu face.
McLaurin replied In kind and drew gore

sisted by some OF the senators, finally
pulled the bellicose Solons apart and
ended the fray. The senate went i'm
mediately into executive session behind
closed doors and both the pugilistic
senators were voted in contempt. To
regain favor, they were compelled TO
apologize on the floor OF the senate,
which they did with becoming pan.

Grants Pass Ia another OF the relatively
new towns Of Southern Orevon-new in
the sense that II came in with the rail
road. II has population OF about 5000.
and 1t Is in many respects the most
active place In the Rogue River country. .
Mining is the main source of its life, and
gives the tone to its life. II has an i'm.
portant resource In it's adjacent pine
forests, and draws considerable direct
support from the operations of the
Sugar Pine Lumber Company, whose
mill and box factories make the largest
single business in the town. Agricul.
ture and horticulture have, too, their
share in the makeup OF the business

this was my intention, but dnd it i'm.

willingness OF mine owners to permit
the insids facts OF their operations to be
put before the public. What the reason
is cannot make out. but it isa fact
that the Josephine miners are more
reserved in connection with things
which would be Of general public in
terest than any other body Of men
know OF. But it may easily be seen that
the mining interest here is both an
extensive and profitable one. The

The Copper Stain company have their

Last Saturday was a dull day for our

Some Of our wood cutters are Old time
miners. When they wish to take
recreation they go inining as there are
plenty Of good quartz ledges in this

We are having nice easy rain. The
miners will have an average run, so
times will be liyelier here. A dry win.
ter for the miners means hard times in
all branches OF industry.
As We read OF sickness and death in
other parts Of Oregon and compare them

We have the best health record. We
also have very little confusion in our

tempers.
As bad as the roads are, there is lots

In regard to the threadbare question as
to who was in command at the battle Of
Santiago, the president made new and
interesting ruling. Inssm uch as neither
Sampson nor schley gave any com

to the captains, giving schley credit for
the manner in which he handled the
Brooklyn, though criticizing the loop.
