ELMER CROCKETT
Ocean Encronohinn.

1t is noticeable that the ocean is
gradually encroaching on the land
about Crescent City, and along the
coast as far north rs Pebble Beach.
This is largely due to the vast amount
of rocks and gravel that has been
hauled from the beaches for the past
20 or 30 years. which was used for
building and street purposes Pebble
Beach, years ago, contained large
deposit Of gravel among which could
be found rare specimens of pebbles,
ahd was the favorite place for an out
ing, but Of late years the beach has
almost been ruined by hauling the
gravel away Tho proper authorities
should prohibit the taking Of rocks
and gravel from the ocean shore there
by preserving the land adjoining. -

Charles Crow, assessor for Josephine
county, who is in the city today, says
that during the past year there has
been an increase Of over 800, 600 in
the assessed valuation Of property in
Josephine, the increase being largely
due to the acquisition of new mining
machinery by various development
companies.
Mr. Crow, with Portland parties
aud others at Grants Pass, is in
terosted in the Lost Flat mine, in the
Galice country. The mine is located
about 20 miles out on a good wagon
road from Merlin, which is on the
railroad. Tho company backing this
enterprise is ON the point Of buying a
stamp mill for the treatment Of the
ores, which turn out as high as Slg5
to the ton. They are taking out good
ore, Mr.. Grow says. There are three
tunnels the first is about 200 feet, the
second 100 feet, and Il lower one is in
the course Of being cut The ore
from the Lost Flat mine has been
treated in Ashland.
Southern Oregon is slowly making
its way TO the front, " said Mr. Grow
this morning. "Hitherto placer min
ing operations have taken the lead,
but within tho past few years quartz
mining is assuming the Importance
that is its due. The quartz mines
output is now greater than the placers.
Fully $50, 900 worth of milling ma.

The Youna Man Who Drinks.

The time is coming very fast--in-
deed, it has already arrived in our
commercial ,life-when young man
who has habits of intemperanco is
narrowing very rapidly the possible
range of openings in which he may
make living.
Fifteen years ago, us the trainmaster
on q division of oae Of four largo
railroads In America told me, he sat
in his office one day and saw u freight
train stand for two hours waiting for
q number Of the train crew to recover
from intoxication. When the men
were able TO handle the train, it
moved out Of the yard. Now, the
trainmaster said, If the brakeman or
any of the train crew were found to
be under the slightest influence of
liquor, or If they We're seen to enter
saloon, they were instantly dis
charged. Tho idea of keeping a whole
train waiting for n man to recover
from drunkenness wonld seem perfect
ly absurd to the railroad corporation
now. Tho timo will come when such
an idea will seem equally absurd in
the army.
A young man who lost his position
in an Office Of this same company came
TO me last year and begged that l
would use my influence to have him
takon back by the superintendent Of
the division. He frankly confessed
,hat he had been drunk, and was un-
Iblo to report for duty one day, but
tho next morning ho was at his desk.
Whom he appeared he received his
dismissal. He acknowledged his fault,
lnd promised the superintendent it
would never occur again, Offering to
let the road take his wages and pay
chem to his aged father and mother.
Eie pleaded that it was his first
offense.
/ went to an influential citizen to tho
head of the department where the
young man had been employed, and
we stated his case and pleaded for a
second trial, bat the superintendent
simply said: This railroad is not
Ia the business Of reforming drunkards
or roclaining young men. Past ex-
Iporience has taught us that is useless
for us to take young men hack in this
way. Charles NJ. sheldon.
