A Narrow Escape.

H. r. Putnam, an Ishpemng
travelling man, tells Mining Gaz-
cite reporter Of a narrow escape
from serious injury he and his wife
had near L'Anse Tuesday OF last
week. They had driven out to Pc
quaming and were on the return
trip, when they met with an ac-
cident that neither will forget in q
hurry. While going down one OF
the hills on the road, one of the
traces dropped off and the pole fell
to the ground. The horses became
frightened and started down the hill
at q maddening clip. Mr.. Putnam
was unable to get them under con-
troll, and before he could stop them
he and his wife were thrown out of
the buggy. Mr.. Puntam escaped
injury other than being badly bruis-
ed all over his body, while Mrs. Put
nam suffered a sprained wrist. The
buggy was badly wrecked. Mr.. Put
nam considers they had lucky es-
cape.

Discovery Of Mine Of Jade In the Far

A very important mineral discovery
has Just been made In the Althouse
district of Southern Josephine county.
consisting of the finding in consider.
able quantity of the sacred and rare
stone, jade. Several miners visited
Grants Pass recently. bringing sam
pies of the stone with them. says the
Kansas City World. These samples
were positively identified as jade by
United States Mineral Surveyor II. c.
Perkins, of this city. The discovery
is OF great geological importance, from
the fact that jade has never before
been found in any place In any of the
mineral districts of the North Amerl.
can continent. The miners who have
come In from the scene of the discov.
cry report that many large pieces of
hoat jade of beautiful color and fine
texture have been and are being found
both on Althouse and Indian creeks.
Jade is the sacred stone of the Chi
nese and is used by them in making
bracelets, rings. vases, etc. 1t is a
tough. compact stone. Its color varies
from an almost pure white to dark
or pale green. Jade was one of the
first materials used in the making of
weapons and utensils during prehis-
toric times. There Is coarser or
more common variety of the stone
known as jadeite that was used In
making axes and weapons. The jade
was and is highly priced by the peo-
pie of the Orient for ornamental pur'
poses and carvings. The Chinese name
for 1t is ''yu-shih." which means Jade
stone"
For ages past the main and principal
supply of jade has come from the Kara
Kash valley of Eastern Turkestan. II
Is also found to some extent in New
Zealand, the islands of the Pacific and
South America; but this is the first
time that It has ever been found or
the North American continent. The
discovery in Southern Josephine coun
ty will be thoroughly investigated b,
interested parties. 1t Is OF especia
interest to the geological world.
