sLANDERoUs STORIES.

Editor Courier: Just now it seems
that certain men, in their desire to
defeat J.O. Booth for county judge,
are resorting to the old etfete political
methods of political slander, which
since the sudden taking of OF our
president, Hon. William Mckinley,
have been so repulsive to the Amerl-
can people There are some who do
not believe in recognizing good in any
one until -ley are dead and buried
but this spirit has received a setback.
If anything were needed to insure MIR.
Booths election this slanderous false
hood supplies the deficiency; even
the republicans speak their disapprov-
al Of it. A few days ago a prominent
republican candidate said to me
"have you heard the slanderous story
that has been raised against MIR.
Booth - l answered thus: No, l
have not" He then told me, and
added "Of course it is lie Il give
his exact Words and the fact that
is doing the most of the talking
adds odium to it," If l remember
correctly, when Mr. Booth ran for
state treasurer he carried this county
by about $50 majority, and he will be
elected this time by good majority.

GREAT Is VICTOR JUNIOR.

VIM. II. Brevoort Of New York and
Eben Smith Of Los Angeles, two Of
the principle stockholders of the Vic
tor Junior mine, in the Grave creek
district, who have been inspecting
their property during the past week,
make the announcement that they will
add 20 stamps, number Of new con
centrators, cyanide plant, and a
quantity of other machinery to their
big mine. This news is gladly hail
ed by Southern Oregon mining men,
as it is proof positive Of the worth
Of deep sinking and the working on n
big scale of Josephine quartz mines.
With these additions the Victor
Junior will become the leading and
best-equipped quartz mine in the
state west of the Cascades 1t is un-
derstood that before the new stamps
are installed the mill will be moved
further down the hill, to reduce the
amount Of work required in hoisting.
The Victor Junior Company have been
buying up adjoining claims until they
are now practically in possession of
the whole Greenback mountain.

Ten Acres
HOGS AT LARGE.

Mr.. Editor:
\ In the last issue of the Observer see
that the farmers have made a request
for the voters of Grants Pass to re.
frain from voting on the proposed hog
law, and speaking as farmer, and as
l believe voicing the sentiments of the
majority of other farmers | will say
that there are just two kinds of farm.
ers who oppose the hog law; First
those who own hogs and expect said
hogs to farm their neighbors fields
and gardens and the other kind who
farm their neighbors' hogs, that is, get
out and kill and skin them on the
range and thereby get the principal
part of their living.
In some counties of the state there
is bounty on coyote scalps to protect
the poor sheep man whose sheep run
over the government land upon which
he pays no taxes. In Josephine
county we can fence against coyotes
cheaper than we can against hogs
The extra cost of fencing to keep hogs
ont of cultivated land in Josephine
county is more than all the hogs in
the county are worth, and yet one
class of men are asked to bear all
this expense, in the interest OF the
hog skinner and HOG who owns hog,
aud practically nothing else, and
turns his hogs out to root or debut
with the certain knowledge that they
are going to root in his neighbors
field The farmers are taxpayers, and
the taxpayers of Grants Pass are ask
ed to refrain from voting on a ques'
tion that will materially Tighten his
burden of expense, and in the same
column the farmers are asked to vote
a high school for Grants Pass, thing
that will, in fact, increase his taxes
and will result in good for Grants
Pass. The farmer does not object TO
paying extra taxes to benefit our
county seat and l believe 80 out oi
every 100 will vote for the proposed
high school, but we certainly think II
is to the interest of the citizens Of
Grants Pass to stand in with the tax
payer instead of the hog rustler.

THE BIG YANK BONDED.

l.. Y. Ready Of Portland, has TAX
en- bond on the property Of the Big
Yank Mining & Milling Company,
situated in the Galice Mining Dis
trict, Josephine County, Or. This
property has very large vein of me-
dium- grade ore which, if properly
handled can be treated with profit to
the owners. The former owners Of
this property, owing to a dissension
among the stockholders, were not
able to carry ON development work to
any extent, and it is expected that the
people who are taking over the prop
erty, through Mr.. Ready, will give
the mine the development which it
deserves. With the renewing of oper-
ations on the property, of the Big
Yank the Galice Mining District will
have renewal Of prosperity.

THAT COW ORDINANCE.

Editor Courier: In the last issue of
the Observer we notice an article in
which it is stated that Jack Williams,
the republican candidate for county
Judge, would lose some farmers votes
because he had voted for an ordinance
to prohibit stock from running at
large in the town of Grants Pass
This is not fair statement of the
matter. A short time ago Jack Will
liams introduced an ordinance and
got it passed in the city council rails
ing the fees for impounding stock
from 80 cents to y. 30, but, as this
was not deemed punishment enough
for the farmer that would allow his
cattle to stray off, and cross the
boundary line of the city, he further
provided that they should be fined
in sum of not less than 81. 30 nor
more than $40 for each offense
Now, it seems impossible for the
farmers to prevent their stock from
occasionally getting inside the city
limits, and as they are not able to pay
the aforementioned penalty that Jack
Williams would inhict on them, they
are compelled to sell off their stock
and quit the business.
1t is not only the farmers on Jones
creek that intend to vote for j. O.
Booth, but they will do so nearly un-
animously in every direction around
Grants Pass.
They have no use for man who
does not follow the principle Of - live
and let live " The farmer should not
be censured for looking out for his in
terests, and protect himself from be-
ing cinched They will vote for the
man who is known to be their friend,
regardless of party ties. Farmer.

NEW COPPER STRIKE.

W. l.. Ingram and W. A. Ramsey,
two miners Of the Slate creek district,
have made what promises to be an i'm
portant copper strike discovery in their
district. The new find was we'll up on
the high mountain ridge overlooking
Slate creek. Outcroppings ON the
surface show the ledge to be a width
Of 80 feet and il extends entirely
through the mountain. From surface
indications and by sinking of pros
pecting shafts the vein gives indica-
tions of being permanent with good
copper values. The ledge lies in a
contact of serpentine All over the
mountain above the ledge huge crags
Of gossau arise, burned and reddened
by the intense heat and flames that
one day issued from the depths of the
mountain
The new discovery is on direct
line with the Preston Peak and Waldo
mines and is undoubtedly northerly
extension of the same copper belt.
