examples of license states, filled witt

CAPITAL IN JOSEPHINE.

A good feature of the southern Ore
gon mining camps at the present time
is the presence of eastern capitalists,
who are here for the purpose of in
vestigating the mines and for the pur-
pose of investigating if they find
things to their liking. There are a
number of important deals ON foot and
ii they are consummated number of
leading southern Oregon properties
will pass into new hands. Never be-
fore in the history of this camp have
there been so many representatives of
capital visiting the Josephine mines,
as present. Those who have the
interest of the district at heart and
who are not infected with an over
supply of "moss' ON the exterior of
their spines, are glad to have the ar
rival of Eastern capital. What has
held the district back in the past has
been the lack of enterprising capital
lists. Nearly all those who owned
properties here did not have the mon-
ey to go ahead and develop them.
The mines that did pass into the
hands of able and rightly managed
companies have all succeeded. Not
one of the mines that has been sunk
deep down has proved a failure On
abe other hand the owners of them are
finding it necessary to increase their
plant and equipment continually, as
the amount and value of the ore being
mined justifies bigger business.
The success of the Victor Junior,
which is soon to have 25-stamp mill;
of the Eureka, the Gold Bug, Granite
Hill, the Gopher, Ashland and Shorty
Hope, all of which have been worked
TO deep levels proves conclusively that
the quartz veins of the southern Ore
gon hills are not all pockets and
blankets. In fact the "pocket and
blanket" of southern Oregon mining
camps has passed into the great
hevond

TO VISIT CRATER LAKE.

Wednesday evening next, one of the
most notable parties ever to visit Cra-
ter Lake will leave this city under
the management of Will G. Steel.
Among Others in the party will be the
following: Governor and Mrs. r. T.
Geer, Hon. Thomas II. Tongue, Miss
Cosper and Miss Church, of Salem !;
Miss Merriam of Brooklyn, N. Y. :;
W. W, Seymore of Tacoma Henry l..
Pittock of Portland Professor Fred.
erick Coville, chief botanist of the
Department of Agriculture, and family
are now at the lake, and Professor +.
II. Newell, chief photographer of the
United States Geological Survey, will
join the party at Medford.
Lunch will be served at Medford
and dinner partaken in camp about 10
miles on the way. Friday evening
camp will be established near Rogue
river Falls, which will be illuminated.
Saturday evening permanent camp will
be established at u point overlooking
Crater Lake, and several days spent in
this romantic region. This region is
full of interesting points, many Of
which will be visited from the perma-
nent camp
F. A carefully arranged itineary has been
provided, but when the party gets to
so interesting region as Crater Lake
it will probably be torn to pieces.
One night will be spent at Fort
Klamath, two or three days at Peli-
can Bay, and one night at Lake of the
Woods. Ashland will be reached in
time to take the northbound train ON
August 20, and Portland will be
reached next morning in time for busi.
ness. This will be the first important
party to visit the new National park.

THEIR HEADS NEARLY BLOWN
OFF

Two men, AL Abel and jess Ches-
hire, nearly had their heads blown
off at Astoria last Friday afternoon
in an attempt to burn some powder.
One Of the men had been given about
a pound of powder to throw over
board, but he and his companion de-
cided to burn it if possible, it having
been damaged They spread the pow
der out on the street and ignited u
fuse that had been attached to it.
AS it did not burn Immediately they
approached, and while their faces
were over the powder it exploded.
Cheshire had his face, ears and hair
badly burned, while Abel had his
mouth open and inhaled some of the
burning powder. The latter's con-
dition is critical and he is not expect
ed to recover from the shock. Abel's
home is in Eugene and he was in the
Philippines with the Second Oregon.
jess Cheshire was Grants Pass boy
and while here had many friends.

DRIED APPLES FOR GERMANY.

Demand of this character should be
very much larger than what it is. A
recent consular rebort says Germany
would take more of our apple products
If greater care were exercised by pro
ducers and exporters. "Dried apples
arrive in fair condition, but evaporat
ed apples do not nor can they be kept
in the market for any length Of time
owing to mold and decay" A leading
German dealer suggests that apples
should be more thoroughly evaporated,
especially when planned for the export
trade He also suggests greater care
in handling and packing fresh apples,
High prices the past season greatly
restricted the export trade, but in 1901
the total exports of fresh apples from
the United States and Canada were
l,4l3,907 barrels to all countries, q
small proportion going to Germany.
In the year ended June 80 1901, export
of dried apples Of all kinds from the
United States were 2s, 300, 023 pounds.

NOT TRACY.

Last week rather n laughable Incl
dent occurred in the Steamboat min
ing district about like this: A Swede
mining man went to the residence Of
and told the lady Of the house that
g if she would get him something to
eat, he would pay her for it,. " As
the mining man was roughly dressed
and carried gun, the woman mistook
what he said, for 5" if she did not get
him something to eat lac would kill
her. She soon furnished the man
with good meal, and then took her
child in all haste to the nearest neigh
boris, reporting that man resembl-
ing Tracy was at her home and
threatened TO kill her if she hadn {
given him something to eat Soon a
party of men with guns was organized
and arriving at the lady Is home, found
the miner sitting on the porch, and
whom most Of the men were well ac-
quainted with. The above explana.
tion was soon made, and the miner
christened Tracy. -Medford Enquirer.
