We see w j. Bryan is quarreling
with his party. He does not know
what to study up for platform for
the next democratic campaign. He
doesn't like Cleveland and he doesn {
know what he likes. His mind
seems to be badly shaken in a
political way. He thinks he has got
a mountain to move to elect a man of
his party for the next president. He
had rather President Roosevelt had
not taken his western tour, as Roose-
welt gains friends and also influence
wherever he goes His magnetic,
honest speeches gain him a host of
friends He has no wild cat or idle
speeches to make before the people.
He gives them the straight, honest
goods, easy to see, easy to understand.

The Oregon & Pacific railway is an
enterprise that should receive all
encouragement possible from the
people of Josephine county for reasons
that are plain and apparent to all.
But we have been informed that a
number of land holders along the line
of the proposed right of way have
advanced the price of land for right
of-way purposes to figure which the
representatives OF the company con
slider TO be out of reason. Both Col.
Draper and Mr.. Gum assert that the
road will certainly not be built II
such prices are demanded. 1t If
difficult to believe that matters really
stand in this condition for 1t does not
seem reasonable that few citizens
would hold up the county for the
mere chance Of few dollars Of pri-
yate GAIN.

The Observer bubbles forth right
iiercely in an editorial which contains
two untruls in the first two lines,
regarding the Courier's remarks In
last weeks issue concerning the fire
limits ordinance. The Courier's
statement was entirely fair and rea-
sonable and will stand on its merits,
The real purpose of the Observers Is
TRADE seems TO be an attack on Arthur
Conklin. The gentlemen Of the city
council arc considerably referred TO
as marble headed Solons " The last
word, indeed, is ono of the Observers
fayoritos, and is soroly overworkod in
its columns, "rolled as u sweet morsel
under the tongue" The modern use
Of the word "solon" has in Il an ele-
ment Of subtle ridicule and sarcasm
which would probably be distasteful
10 the council had they not other
things to think about But when the
epithot of marble headed" is added,
the combination makes very dubious
compliment, to say the least

WORKING AT LUCKY QUEEN
Famous Jump-off- Joe Property
Now Under Development

A crew Of seven men are steadily
at work under the supervision Of G..
j. Crane, at the Lucky Queen mine
IN the Jump -lfJoe district. A bond
on the property is held by DR.. W. f.
Harrington Of this city, who is carry.
ing on the operations Of the develop.
ment. A tunnel has been run to con.
meet with a Wine Of the old workings
and the Wine will be pumped out
and the work extended. A tunnel is
being run also which will tap the
ledge at depth Of about 20 feet
The Lucky Queen is a property of
recognized value and was discovered
and specifically worked many years
ago 1t has passed through several
stages Of mismanagement and has
had fair share Of litigation, but it
needs only to be developed properly
and opened Systematically to take its
place among the valuable mines of
Southern Oregon None are more
strongly OF this opinion than those who
are best acquainted with the past and
present showing Of the property. A
RreUt deal ofsrock has been taken from
this mine that was remarkable in its
richness, not only during the early
working, but in later times as well. A
number Of pockets of greater or less
.etent have been taken out in the last
few years by Corliss and Rush. The
Lucky Queen has good ore body and
on the surface there is gold bear.
ing porphyry deposit carrying good
milling values throughout, besides
streaks that are immensely rich.

good head of water and will continue

has been remarkably favorable for
hydraulic operations. and the mine
has been running steadily with
scarcely break since early in the
fall. The present water supply is
sufficient Tor working with five inch
nozzle and there will be plenty OF
water for month yet The seasons

THURSDAY. APRIL 80, 1908.

The repeal Of the exemption clause
of the assessment law, so that every
thing man has is taxable, even
down to the smallest possession,
is one of the most unpopular laws
that has afflicted Oregon for many a
day. 1t is on the poorer class OF
people that this burden falls heaviest.
1t is thought that this repeal OF
the $500 exemption clause was made
by the legislators inadvertently, but
it was made nevertheless and now it
is up to those whom it affects to take
enough active interest in the matter
to sign petitions for referendum.

THE HAYDEN QUARTZ MINE
Grave Creek Property Making Ex
ccllent Record with Arrastre.

Among the best of the smaller
quartz properties Of Josephine county
is that OF j. G. Hayden, near Placer.
It is small only in the sense that it is
equipped and operated in a modest
way and on small scale. The prop
erty has all the natural elements for
a mine of Importance and needs only
a good sized milling plant take its
place as such among the mines OF the
district. With It's present equipment,
its owner is steadily making money
and can well afford to wait for a salts
factory offer before selling At pres
ent the mine is worked by means of
an arrastre. Water power is used and
all the arrangements Of appliances
and machinery are neat and conyen-
lent, The arrastro has five drags aud
to one accustomed to the crash and Jar
Of stamp mill. IL seems almost won.
derful TO see how silently and easily
the work IL accomplished by this
primitive mill. The five heavy drags
slip around IN their circle almost
without noise yet all the time they
are doing very effective work in
crushing the ore. The relative posi-
tion Of mine aud mill makes it feast.
BILE to carry the ore itself to the mill
by means of water power. The ore
is dumped into sluiceway aud is
carried by the water directly into the
ore bin.
The vein varies IN width from
few inches up TO two feet but holds
an average width Of about 20 inches.
The ore is credited with milling
average Of about $50 to the ton, only
the free gold being saved. The ore
contains large amount of rich sui
phurets and tho present equipment
does not provide for securing these
values. The concentrates from this
ore carry about SllOO to the ton.

TINKER FOOTBALL RULES
Graduate Committee Will Discuss
Changes in the Game at
Meeting Tonight.

One Of the most important meetings
the college football rules committee has
yet held is to take place In Atlantic City,
N. u. tonight. a. meeting. was to have
been held lin New York last Saturday
night, but one of the committeeman
could not be present. The meeting is Of
unusual Importance because the commit
tee has to deal with the question Of max
ing pronounced changes in the method of
playing the game. Since last fall there
has been great clamor for less mass
play and more open play and changes in
the rules which will bring these things
about. The experts who compose the
rules committee have to deal with the
question of changes-h changes are to
be made-and yet preserve the attractive
ness OF the game.

'HAHA TRACK IS NO MORE

Lots. '-....

The Minnehaha race course, at one time
one Of the most famous tracks in the
country, is no more. The lease upon the
expires March 81, and as the
land will bring more rental for other pur-
poses than for racing, private residences
will probably soon replace the grand stand
and barns at the park. The work of tear
Ing down the old buildings has already
begun. The property is owned by w. W.
Hayward. -
Many famous horses have appeared upon
the old 'Edaha track, and numberless fast
miles have been stepped by some Of the
most famous harness campaigners in the
country. In 1895 all the grand circuit per-
formers participated in the annual meet.
Fantasy, 2:06, established the state race
record Of 900 during that meeting. Rob
ert j., then pacing champion Of the world,
Dfrectum, 2:05A, and Hall Pointer were
among the other horses which appeared,
