Napoleon /. an old soothsayer who en-
joyed great reputation in that part
of France prophesied that hundred
years after the emperor had been pro
claimed first consul he would return
in the flesh to harry the hated Eng
lish. 1t is possible that this was
remnant of the ArthuTian tradition
which has clung so persistently in the
minds of the Bretons, At any rate,

ent of the London Daily News says
believe that the reincarnated Napoleon
has at last appeared according to the

WALDO MINING DISTRICT
LIVELY.

The Waldo mining district, Of
southern Josephine county, through
which the Oregon g. Pacific Railroad
is to run, has other valuable mines
besides copper properties. As a by
draulic placer region 1t is one Of the
best and richest ON the coast Waldo
was one Of the pioneer mining dis
tricts Of the state. II was in this sec
tion that gold was first discovered in
Oregon. Tho placer mines aud dig
gings Of this district lie along the
Illinois river and occupy the bed Of
an old channel or ancient river The
Illinois heads away up on the north
slope Of the Siskiyous and for this
reason the water supply afforded by
this stream is one Of the best any
where, and the mines Of that dis
trict enjoy a longer run each season
than. those Of any other placer district
in the state. Waldo is at present a
lively district, and while it has been
sleeping for number Of years it may
yet awake and become the Klondike
Of Oregon.
The Simmons Cameron, Winner,
Meredith and Osgood are the prin-
cipal hydraulic placer mines Of the
Waldo district The managers Of all
Of these properties are busy with their
preparations for the coming winters
work, which promises to be- larger
this season than ever before. The

GRAYBACK COPPER DISTRICT.

In the range of mountains across the
Illinois valley from Waldo, new
copper district has been discovered
and is being opened. The district is
located four or five miles south of the
old mining town of Kerby, and direct
ly in the Sucker and Althouse dis.
tricts, where gold was first discovered
in Oregon. Here has been found two
parallel belts of serrentine, running
almost due east and west. North of
these belts of serpentine, the summit
of the hills show much limestone and
shale, while south of them huge por-
phyrio rocks and diorite, black with
iron and rusted with the rains of sew
eral countless ages, crop out and rise
to u height of several feet in many in
stances, These outcrops are copper
gossan and show the existence of huge
ledges of copper beneath. These lodges
run north and south, extending from
the low range of hills south of Kerby,
to the Grayback range of mountains
in the north slope of the Siskiyous.
Several mines but recently discov-
cred in this district are meeting with
good success in their development.
number Of tunnels have been driven
and shafts sunk from these, in all Of
which good copper values are found.
Gold is also carried in quantity. In
fact many of the outcroppings assayed
as high as sl20 per ton in copper and
gold. 1t would be mere guess work
to give the width of the great ledge.
of this district, but it is known that
they underlie the whole outcropping
Of the gossan and are practically one
huge vein of several hundred feet in
width
This district is an entirely new one
in the matter of systematic and exten-
siye development, but it has the ap.
pearance of assuring "A permanent and
important mining district 1t is very
exceptional that ore running so high
in copper and gold is found so near
the surface as it is here, for it is well
known to all copper miners that cop
per will almost entirely leach out
when under the influence of water and
the oxidation of the atmosphere,
The formations Of the entire district
are most favorable for permanent
copper lodges, being diorite, porphyry
and quartzite the whole course of the
belt. The situation of this belt is all
that could be desired, as one can
drive buggy to the foot Of the hillf
and to within few hundred yards OF
the workings. At the foot of the hills
are fertile valleys watered by BeaI
and Sucker creeks and other stream,
from which water and power can Dc
derived for nine or more months in
the year There is an abundance OF
sugar pine over all parts of the dis.
trict, to supply timbers for the tun.

THE BEST WE HAVE.

VI THE BEST WE HAVE.
Christ wants the best. He in the far
off ages
Once claimed the firstling of the
flock, the finest of the wheat
And still he asks his own with gent
lest pleading
To lay their highest hopes and
brightest talents at his feet.
He'll not forget the feeblest service,
humblest love.
He only asks that of our store we
give to him
The best we have.
Christ gives the best. He takes the
hearts we offer
And fills them with his glorious
beauty, joy, and peace.
And in his service, as we're growing
stronger,
The calls to grand achievements
still increase.
The richest gifts for as on earth, or
in the heaven above,
Are hid in Christ. In Jesus we
receive
The best we have.
And is our best too much? o friends,
let us remember
How once our Lord poured out
his soul for us,
And in the prime of his mysterious
manhood
Gave up his precious life upon
the cross
The Lord of lords, by whom tho
worlds were made,
Through bitter grief and tears
gave us
The best he had. The Interior.

A Sunday school corner in saloon
Is, according to the "Denver Post, +"
one of tho ideas inspired by the In
ternational Sunday school convention.
The froquenters of liquor place
near Trinity church, where the con-
yention was held, were amazed one
day to find in quiet corner Of the
bar room copies Of the Sunday
School Times" the "Evangel, the
Sunday School Worker" and other
periodicals of like nature. Tho pro-
prietor was called and questioned
concerning this new and unique de-
parture. 1t originated in this way, he
said: During the convention three
young men wearing Sunday school
badges came into his place and after
ordering drinks began to read tho
Sunday school papers they carried
with them. One Of them left copy
and the saloon keeper, finding IT in
terosting reading thought it likely
that some Of his patrons would like a
little Of that kind Of literature, so
when the young men came again he
asked them to bring him various Sun
day school papers While the conyen-
tion was in session they were quite
regular customers and every time they
visited his saloon brought him a
batch Of literature. (It is evident
that the quarterly temperance lessons
are very necessary part Of the Sun
day school curriculum y II intend to
subscribe for the Sunday School
Times, the 'Eyangep and several
others" said the saloon man, "and
keep them on file here all the time. "
Here is an opportunity for these
papers 20 reach and to teach the
saloon class We wonder II any
liquor seller would furnish his patrons
with "The Union Signal" or the
" New Voice. -

DISC GRAPHOPHONES AND
FLAT RECORDS.

Perfection in Disc Graphophones
and Flat Records was quickly achiev-
cd by the Columbia Phonograph Com
pany, the pioneers and leaders in the
talking machine art, when it demon
strated the wonderful possibilities Of
the fiat indestructible records. Up
to that time nothing important had
been accomplished. The machines
were faulty and the records were not
in the same class with the cylindrical
records used on the graphophone. A
knowledge of how to make disc re-
cords and the proper material for
which to make them seemed to be en-
tirely lacking. The wide experience
of the record department of the
Columbia Phonograph Company en-
abled it to grasp the true principles
underlying the making of disc re-
cords, and the first product was q
great deal better than anything that
had been accomplished by others.
With the lapse of time the improve
ment that has come with practice has
placed the Columbia Disc Records
far in advance of all others. They
are characterized by smoothness,
sweetness, clearness and naturalness.
And while preserving all these de-
sirable qualities they are the loudest
records on the market.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at $40, SEQ and
$50 Seven-inch records 50c each, $5
per dozen; 10 inch records 81 each.
$40 per dozen. The Graphophone and
Columbia Records were awarded the
Grand Prize at the Paris Exposition
of 1900.

The apple harvest commenced last
week in most of the orchards. 1t is a
little early for an estimate Of the
amount of the crop but it is expected
that 1t will be fully up to the average
in quantity and sure to be so in
quality. A good many apples are
falling, from what reason is not
known, unless ii can be ascribed to
the extremely hot summer weather we
had this season and the long continued
stretch without rain. 1t is certain
that the apples now falling are not
affected in anyway with pests, but
are apparently perfect fruit. In spite
Of this, orchardists expect to gather
an average crop, even If they do not
exceed It. There can't be a complete
failure of the apple crop in Southern
Oregon. We can lose enough fruit to
make fair crop in other sections and
then have enough left to look like
big yield to an eastern orchardman.
