Dam for Dry Diggings.

W. II. Hamlin returned from a
business trip to Josephine County last
Saturday. While there he sold eight
acres OF land on Rogue river, few
miles this side Of Grants Pass, to a
mining company, which is operating in
the Dry Digglngs district, for consider.
alton Of $3.50. The abOye district is
known to be rich in gold, but as its
name implies, the great difficulty with
working II has been scarcity OF water.
The company proposes TO dam Rogue
river at the point where they have pur-
chased the above land and raise the
water by means Of hydraulic rams to a
sufficient height to reach their holdings

Lilo on tho Illinois.

Loren Adams and Frank Colvig, two
Grants Pass boys who are running b
tunnel for the Victory Mining Co. in the
Soldier creek district, have had rather
unusual experience in "roughing it,"
The tunnel site is located on the Illinois
river side OF the mountain, Just across
from the SiBkiyou copper mine and
about IS miles from Selma, the nearest
commercial point. They went out there
in the heavy rains Of the early weeks
Of February, landing a. their destination
at nightial in the midst Of a deluge OF
rain which poured incessantly. There
was no cabin or shelter; as far as they
were concerned, it was bowling wilder
ness. The boys had little tent which
they erected 10 sleep under, and made
their bed on the ground which was
streaming with water Fol- hours there
had not been dry stitch Of clothing
on them. For three days they lived
and cooked in the rain, but they be.
stirred themselves with true pioneer zeal.
They cut down timber and rived out
shakes or clapboards, first manufactur-
ing their own "lroe" or splitting tool,
and built quite credlable honse. so
that now their circumstances are COM
paralively homelike and comfortable.

The fight In the senate between the
South Carolina senators had a peculiar
and irritating sequel. Tillman had
been invited by the president TO be one
OF a party TO entertain Prince Henry Of
Germany. Tillman being in contempt
oi the senate, official etiquette made his
presence undesirable. AZ he refused TO
decline, the president was Obliged to
withdraw the invitation. The latter
had been invited by Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Tillman, Of South Carolina, to
publicly present sword to Major
Micah j. Jenkins at Charleston. This
invitation was withdrawn by the
lieutenant governor, apparently to
ayenge the other Tilman. Then came
forth Major jenkins, declining to
countenance an insult TO the president
and refused TO accept the sword. All Of
which makes a merry-goround OF snubs
and an interesting chain Of events.

The Government ration system, which
has made willing paupers Of reser walton
Indians for years, 10 to be withdrawn
from the able.bodied members Of the
tribes. This is a move in the right
direction. The system encourages idle
ness. promotes beggary and suppresses
independence, and is one Of the most
efectual barriers to the progress toward
even the semi.civilizstion Of the Indian.
This Is strictly in accordance with ma
ture and experience, regardless OF races
or individuals. With the necessities Of
life assured without effort, the incentive
to labor disappears and Incidence rules.

tracts for two more tunnels, with esti-
mated lcng,h Of 500 or Geo feet, to te
constructed during the coming spring
and summer one on the LyttIe mine
and the other on the "CoW Boy" Tho

The total imports for the past calender
year were valued at $3.50, 400, 900, and
the exports, 81 ,465, 10000, leaving a
balance Of trade in our favor Of 1885,
100000. This is the biggest export
year in the history Of the country
and the shipments to Hawaii and Porto
Rico, which used to be classed as
exports, are now listed as domestic
trade, which would tend TO make the
exports appear smaller than they other
wise would compared with former years.
