STRIKE AT GRANITE HILL
Body OF Ore OF Great Rich IN ess
Uncovered.

A sensationally rich strike was
recently made in the Granite Hill
mines Of the Louise creek district,
which are under development by the
American Gold Fields Go. Of Chicago.
A body of extremely rich ore was un-
covered in u tunnel which is being
run at the 1856 foot level. The extent
of the rich ore is not definitely asccr.
tained. The values run from 5000 to
$500 to the ton and some of the sam
pies are remarkably beautiful, show
ing free gold in astonishing profusion.
Tho company is intending to install a
mill OF at least 20 stamps rs soon as
the roads are in condition for heavy
hauling.

GOLD ON RIVER BARS
Precious Metal Cast Up in Shift
ing Gravel by Flood.

Many river bars which have been
worked out in the past will pay to
mine again next summer. The high
water shifted the river gravel to such
an extent that good deal OF gold
can not fail to have been cast up at
different points. In places where the
gold has been collecting for years,
the torrent of the recent flood has
swept the bedrock clean, to throw out
the gold ON some bar lower down,
and some lucky river miners will
probably reap golden haryests during
the time of low water in the coming
summer and fall

Governor Chamberlain has been
making free use Of his veto power and
many incipient laws have come to an
untimely end by this means The
bill for mining bureau was one of
the latest to fall under his disapprov-
al. His reason for vetoing 1t was
because it placed too much power for
public expense in the hands Of the
commission. There were strong ob'
jections to the bill ON the part Of
some Of the mine owners While
Chamberlain was vetoing bills right
and left, the remembrance came
foroibly of the plea used against him
in the campaign he was such good
fellow that he could not say "no" TO
any one While some of the COVER
nor's vetoes can not fail to rouse OPP
position, IL is conceded that, in the
main, his grounds are we'll taken, and
he Is supported generally by the SEN
timent Of the people, who eye his
economic wntchfulness with n good
deal of approval In all, ho has
vetoed II bills passed 10y the late

A THIRTY STAMP MILL
To Be Erected Immediately on
Wolf Creek Property.

W. Il. Olmstead, manager for the
company that recently purchased the
Scribner- Henderson mines near Wolf
Creek, is now at the property, making
arrangements for the installation of a
30.stamp mill, which is to be erected
inside the next 30 days There is "a
tremendously large body Of ore in
sight and no development is required
to Justify the erection Of a mill of
large capacity. The porphyry dyke
which produces the gold has been
traced and prospooted for a half a
mile in length and is from 80 to 100
feet in width Its depth is as yet an
unknown quantity but shaft has
been sunk to n depth Of 80 feet,
gratifying prospects still continuing.
The ore is soft and can be millcd
easily and rapidly, IA feature that
doubles the profit on ore of given
value. The mine should be big
producer in the near future.

II Is the custom of the hour to con.
denim trusts, yet trusts art good and
bad and only the bad ones are desorv.
ing of condemnation. A trust isa
strong demonstration of the old propo-
sition, "ln union there is strength ="
In this connection there is suggested
trust which ought to be- formed-a
trust for the development of Southern
Oregon-all the several localities to bo
members of the trust. The time is
past for petty local jcalousics that are
always detrimental TO the country.
The nagging aud the small unfricndly
feelings between town and town
should be discouraged at every oppor
tunity. In q broad sense, the interests
of the several portions Of Southern
Oregon are identical Tho develop
ment Of one portion promotes the de.
yelopment Of another. In general it
may bo said that what helps Grants
Pass, helps Mcdford and Ashland
either directly or indirectly And IL
does not hurt either ono OF them to
admit that the other two are good
towns for 80 they are. Being in the
geographical situation they are they
could not help it II they tried. In
some particular advantages each has
its superiority, Each has room To
grow in its own district The South.
ern Oregon towns must cultivate a
generous feeling toward one another
and enter together heartily IN any
movement or measure that will help
Southern Oregon Lct local jealousy
and chickering's give way to a broader
sentiment

Unseating members of Legislative
bodies and installing in their places
men Of opposite political faith. for the
furtherance Of partisan measures, is
method which is becoming more and
more common and is one which, II
pursued, will be productive Of endless
scandal, strife and trouble. Moanness
in politics is as contemplate as any
other kind OF meanncss and will not
be supported by the people, as some
politicians have iyet to find to their
cost. Political parties will do well
TO frown on unfair measures for their
own future welfare for an apparent
present triumph may turu into crush
ing disaster at q later date. Trickory
in politics is expected but open,
brazen trickery can not long be
countenancod.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-COTTON-Opened
easy at a decline of SOS points. The con-
trolling influence during the early session
was disappointing English cables. There
was considerable selling by the room ele-
ment, and a general absence of support on
the part of the bull clique. The only fea-
ture OF the trade was selling of summer
months by the south and a little buying of
July for European account. In a general
way the market was very feverish, re-
naming so throughout the day and sug-
traders that an important change of some
character was near at hand. Short sci ing
was restricted somewhat by the late rallies
at Liverpool, but room sentiment was UNI
mistakably mixed. Near months show a
steadiness, principally on covering by be-
lated March shorts. The difference between
May and July ranged from Is to 20 points
most of the forenoon. After the first SELL
ing movement had subsidized there was a
continued until after midday, when COM
mission house selling. partly on stop-loss
orders, broke May to 9.ISc. II was also as
sumed that Wall street operators, in dis
lrcss, were identified with a movement to
break the market. Under selling of this
character the market became very nervous
and feverish, with the July discount under
May widening to % points, or the greatest
of the season. Large export clearances
and the frmness Of southern spot markets
had little effect In checking the selling and
prices 2 points higher TO 2 lower. Sales
