THURSDAY. APRIL IT, 1902.

County Clerk Roy Bartlett needs no
other recommendation for reelection
than his record as an officer. He is the
most thoroughly and universally sstisfact-
ory county clerk that ever filed that office
in this county and II other counties ever
secure more perfect officials, they are
fortunate indeed. In addition TO the
accuracy with which he attends 10 every
detail OF his work, he 10 courteous and
oblging TO every one and at all times
and is never worked or rushed into a
condition OF crankiness. He is an un'
firing and faithful worker in the affairs
OF his flee. Nominated by the republic
ans, he is elected by votes from all
parties. Third terms are rare and out
Of the usual order, but 30 also are county
clerks like Roy Bartlett and the two

Eureka Being Equipped.

Two 5.stsmp Hammond mills and
quantity OF other machinery has ar.
rived at the Grants Pass depot and is
being conveyed TO the Eureka mine, Of
the Soldier creek district. The Eureka
mine is another OF the Southern Oregon
quartz properties, which by systematic
aud thorough development, has proved
itself to be II mine of vast promise and
magnitude. A few years ago the Eureka
was bought by Esreka, Cal people for
S27 900 cash down. These people more
recently bonded 1t for much greater
sum to the Victory Gold Mining Co.
OF Chicago, The latter.named com.
pAny is conposed Of mum ber Of wealthy
and snterprisinE men, and aside nom
the Eureka they sl-o own the Victory
hydraulic mine, Of Cow creek canyon,
and other mining properties in Southern
Oregon.
The Victory Gold Mining Co. have

sunk their main shalt to depth Of 400
Iest and driited extensively from various
levels, uncoVering a body OF high grade
ore. The ledge exposed has width Of
eight feet and carries average values Of
sl6 per ton.

come the richest quartz mine in
Southern Oregon" prominent Grants
Pass man remarked on the street this
week. 81 know OF no other mine in
this section that shows a greater BODY Of
ore carrying high values from wall to
wall"
The Eureka men made a failure at
working tbs mine, merely from the fact
that they equipped it with the wrong
kind OF mill. They installed roller
mill and twas soon battered up aud put
out Of business by the hard, tough

May % is the date set for the evacuation
OF Cuba by United States troops and the
machinery OF government will be turned
over to the Cubans. In spite Of opinions
and assertions to the contrary, this
government Is proceeding steady and
with as much dispatch as is prudent,
toward the fuhlment OF its pledges in
regard to Cuban independence. 1t is
doubtful | II there is another Of the so
called great nations in all the earth
that would, Of its own free will relinqnish
piece Of territory once In It's clutches.
It shows that the government OF the
United States has conscience and
sense OF right in more than the ordinary
measure among nations. Ia this re-
gard, as In many others, II 10 the best in
the world, and the people should appre-
ciate the fact and encourage the spirit.

Senator Mark Hanna has. II is said,
dreams OF the republican presidential
nomination in 1904. Tho dream will In
all probability never become . reality.
The senator is one Of those who are far
stronger In conventions than In elec
tions. In his case II would bs an easier
matter TO be nominated than elected.
Roosevelt, on tho other hand, might
experience difficulty In convention, but
In the election would sweep everything
before him. Mark Hanna 10 In many
respects very remarkable man, lie 10
q man Of great strength and ability.
AZ a p1blic man, he has been malgned
past all reason and until the public,
tired Of the continual abuse which was
heapod upon him, investigated the man
and found that he was not nearly 30
black 40 he was painted. Then, In
sort OF resctionary feeling, It took him
into somewhat higher favor. In these
later days, when demagogues indulge in
the wild abuse Of Hanna which at one
time would have evoked cheers, the
public turns away with feeling q
weariness. 1t has been an involuntary
admiration for Hanna for standing
unmoved and unblenched against the
fierce storm Of abuse that was heaped
upon him until, TO q great extent, he
osercame II. Yet the idea OF Hanna as
president Is entertained very gingcrly in
the popular opinion, Hanna, while he
possesses many OF the qualities which
president should have, yet stands as the
exponent Of institutions which the
American people would regret to SEQ
become absolutely domlnent. lie 10

cold commercisliSm and Of political
machinery and methods which to say
the least, are subject to criticism. lie
does not discern, ~ Roosevelt 80 plainly
does, that the obligations between man
aud man reach far beyond the limits OF
the question Of dollars and cents.
