The great number of timber claims
now being taken in southern Oregon
has brought to the front new and
serious problem in the conflict Of the
mineral with the timber interests.
Much of the land recently taken as tim
bor land is known to be valuable
mineral land and the miners all over
the country are becoming alarmed for
their interests. The situation
threatens very serious curtailment
of the opportunities and privileges of
miners and prospectors and contains n
menace to the mining future of the
country. The question Is serious one
and difficult one to handle as il is
desired that the timbermen should
have all the rights which belong to
them yet il seems necessary that
some way must be devised whereby
they can be prevented from trespass-
ing on the mining interests. In this
country. the mining industry is of
far greater Importance than any other
and must be protected at all hazards
The miners are now preparing to
make concerted effort for the protec-
tion of their interests and as the pros
perity of all lines of business is great
ly dependent on the mining industry,
the interest in the case should not be
confined to the miners.

LELAND SETTINGS.

Kinneyville had dance one night
last week. A good time was reported
They had good music and good cal
lers.
Our weather is just fine. People
can work with ease. The nights are
cool and invigorating. So after one
works all day, one can enjoy himself.
1t is not like the eastern states where
the sun beams down hot enough to
burn a person up and the nights are
hot also, so that person cannot cool
off until midnight.
Times are quiet in our town. The
farmers are busy making hay. When
the farmers don't come to town we
see a big change in our trade but as
soon as haying and harvesting are over
then times will be lively again.
We see Grave Greek Scribblings"
is picking up. That's good, young
fellow, keep on writing and improve.
After while YOU will be entitled to
medal. You speak of Kinneyville
as having lots of Japs in the burg
There is not a Jap in Kinneyville
You had better look around and see a
little.
The quartz miners are all busy and
there are no new reports in that in
dustry. Our people are all able to

Mathews, well known miners of
Grants Pass, who will begin work
on the property Immediately after the
Fourth. This mine has produced "A
great deal of ore of marvellous rich
ness. Thus far the richer ore has
been found in punches" of greater
or less extent and the encouraging
appearance Of the property has in
creased with the depth attained.
The owners have never failed to un-
cover one or more of these rich de-
posits whenever they have spent any
time working on the prospect. The
vein lies in great dixie which is
highly mineralized. At the surface
the vein Of quartz was about II inches
in width and parallel with it ran a
vein Of porphyry three feet wide.
At a depth Of 20 feet this porphyry
was more than half quartz with indi-
cations that it would all combine at
u greater depth into one large and per-
manent ore body.

GLENDALE IS BOOMING.

1t is evident that the little town of
Glendale, Douglas county, is ION the
boom" this summer. Many immi
grants from the east as well as people
from the neighboring towns are com
ing to Glendale. 1t is asserted by the
business men of the place that there
will be 20 or 30 new dwellings erect
cd in that vicinity this season.
The causes for the growth are easy
to be seen. The timber in that part
of the country is practically untouch-
ed as yet, and this fact is attracting
many to the place. There are also
many fine chances to obtain home
steads Since the earliest time of the
gold excitements in southern Oregon
the Cow creek district has been para
disc for prospectors but there has
probably never been more in the
country than are at work this sum
mer. Glendale is the headquarters
for all these.
BY the first of September it is ex-
pected that large box factory will
be in operation near Glendale, and "A
large mill is at work now getting out
lumber for it. The lumber will be
sent down to the factory in large
tlume which is at present nearly com
pleted. This factory will be an i'm
portant addition to the resources of
Glendale for it will give permanent
employment to many men.
The only road to the Mt Reuben
mines is the Mt. Reuben Toll Road
out from Glendale. 1t is owned by
the company who also own the Gold
Bug mine. They have at present "a
large force of men at work on the
road putting it in the best condition.
They intend to put in considerable
new machinery ut the Gold Bug and
so will need the road in good shape.
The machinery will consist of mum
Der of stamps for the mill, an air-com-
pressor, machine drills, etc.
Taken all around this will be an
unusually prosperous year for the peo-
pie of Glendale. The business men
are wide-awake and alive to their
opportunities.
The town is incorporated and has
at present an excellent corps of off

juries are quite painful they are not
serious.

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE.
A Porphyry Vein Of Marvellous Rich
ness Recently Discovered on
Pickett Creek.

Pickett creek is the scene OF the
latest sensational gold discovery.
Pickett creek is a tributary Of Rogue
river, coming in from the south side,
the first stream of importance below
the mouth of Applegate. Pickett
creek has long been known as gold
bearing stream and placer mines along
its course have been worked for years.
Sc everal important quartz discoveries
have been made in this district,
among them big ledge Of copper but
the recent find is the first discovery
Of its nature, that of sensationally rich
gold ore, to be made in the district.
The bonanza belongs to Bradbury q
Collins and was found by Collins,
prospector of many years experience,
Collins was staked by Bradbury to
prospect and put in three months
steady work with scarcely any en-
couragement. When he did make a
strike it was big one.
The gold is in a vein of porphyry
about three feet in width, lying on
contact, between slate and serpentine.
The vein can be traced on the sur
face for several hundred feet. The
owners are sinking on an ore "chim-
ney" in the vein and have now reach
ed depth Of 20 feet. The chimney
is split into four parts, with seams
between and in these seams are large
pieces of pure gold, so that the owners
have, with their pocket knives, pried
off pieces of solid gold weighing an
unce or more. Fine gold is abund-
ant all through the porphyry and a
sample assay of this rock gave values
of Sl658 to the ton. As high as $3.50 to
the pan has been secured in sinking
on the present depth. The vein pros
poets evenly across its whole width.
At the depth attained, the porphyry
seems to be looming in" to blue
quartz and the vein bears very per
manent appearance. If the find fultils
its present indications it will make
one of the best mines in southern
Oregon.
