RAILROAD TO COOS BAY
Gould's Lines Said TO BE Headed
In That Direction.
A San Francisco dispatch says !.

A San Francisco dispatch says:
If George Gould carries out his
plans, within short time he will
have reached the Pacific coast with n
railroad in two places. one in Cslifor-
mia and the other in Oregon.
Willie the two roads may retain
separate corporation identities, the
management will be something like
that of the Union Pacific and the Ore
gon Short Line.
BY the same interest the Western
Pacific is to connect the Gould system
at Salt Lake with San Francisco,
while the Coos Bay road is to form a
link between Salt Lake and the North
western Coast. 1t is the intention to
build upa port Mt Coos Bay, which
will bid against Portland and Seattle
for the great and growing trade Of
the Pacific Northwest and Of Siberia,
China, Corea and Japan. The CON
struction OF the Siberian railroad
has given an immense impetus to the
trade of the Northwestern ports and
Gould, backed by Rockefeller, is de-
termined TO have n share of it,
The Coos Bay road has not been

way it is to run from Coos Bay, 100

THE CIRCUS AT MEDFORD
A Tremendous Crowd Attended
Ringlins Bros. Shows.

Ringling's circus drew together
at Medford Saturday one of the big
gest crowds that ever collected in
Southern Oregon. The streets of
Medford seemed almost a solid mass
of people. They were jammed in the
main entrance like sardines, not an
inch of leeway on any side. All
trains were loaded to the utmost
capacity and every road that enters
Medford bore solid procession of
vehicles. Passengers on the outgo-
ing north bound evening train saw a
solid string of vehicles, homeward
bound. reaching from Medford TO
Central Point and even beyond. 1t
seemed as though every rancher in the
Rogue river valley went TO the show.
The circus performance was first
class. The trained animals performed
with ready promptness and pleasing
accuracy. The elephants gave really
marvellous exhibition and the trained
horses and seals were excellent in
their specialties The menagerie
was large and interesting.

BAKERS EQUINE WONDER
Marvellous Saga city Credited to
Eastern Oregon Horse.

Sailor Ellis is the name of one Of
the best trained horses iu Oregon,
says Baker City despatch. None of
the trained horses in Ringling's cir
Gus can compare with him for horse
sense.
Sailor belongs to William Ellis, the
delivery man. Mr.. Fills has large
number of fine horses, some of them
thoroughbreds, but he values Sailor
above any Of them. Sailor is trained
to the saddle or to drive. His owner
guides him while driving by word of
command, without using the lines.
"Go show, Sailor" "rhere, turn
out for that rig and get ahead of that
sprinkling cart. - "Turn to the left at
the next street corner. Now get a
move on you; we are in a hurry +"
And Sailor does precisely as he is
told, never making mistake.
He knows all the principal business
houses in town by name, and will go
to the place named from any part of
the city. The other day Mr.. ELLIS
was out driving with friend, and,
after putting the horse through his
various PAGES and demonstrating that
he understood every word said to him,
he told him to go to Heilner's corner
and to be quick about it. 1t was
several blocks away, but Sailor lost
no time in getting there. After u
brief stop he was told to go down to
the Geiser Grand, and, without a
moments hesitation, he swung around
and went down the street to the hotel,
stopping by the curb at the front en-
trance.
Sailor has numerous other accom-
plishments. He can be sent on err
rands Mr.. Ellis often sends him
to the office or the stable with n
note tied on the saddle. The horse
will go direct to the place named
and return with the article which the
Office or stableman has fastened on
the saddle.
Mr.. Ellis bought him three years
ago for $50, out Of band of range
horses, and since then he has fire..
quently refused $500 for him. He Is
minus pedigree, but he is long on
brains. He is as gentle and kind AS "A

A new company has just been form
ed for the development of property in
Southern Oregon, says the Telegram,
in which u new process of gold saving
will be used. 1t is known as the
Gold Placer and Dredging Company,
aud is capitalized at $50, 900. Its
property is situated on the head
waters of the Illinois river, on Bolan
Creek, in Josephine county, and
has promising bodies of gold and

A process never before used will be
employed to work the gravel. The
machine, which was patented in May
this year, is new idea to hydraulic
mining The tube through which
the gravel is carried may be any size.
The bottom of the tube las no con-
nection with water but distance
from the lower end the water is forced
into the tube and the suction carries
the gravel out of the upper end,
throwing it any reasonable required
distance. In this way 25-horse.
power plant is cabpale of handling
three cubic yards Of dirt per minute
using 1e-inch pipe. A test has
been made and has proven complete
success.
There is no danger of large rocks
lodging and choking the tube, it be.
ing so constructed that the lower end
is smaller than the top. the pipe
tapering all the way through.
One of the machines is on exhibition
opposite the Chamber of Commerce
building in Portland, whore 1t is in
operation.
After the gravel is lifted to the
required height, il is passed over
a copper plate, which contains quick
silver. A row Of rifles extend across
the plates, (which also contain
quick " The quicksilver undergoes
a process before 1t is used, by which
its affinity for gold is increased to
a marked degree, A chemical pro-
cess is nsed by which the value of the
"quick" is retained and none of its
quantities wasted. One of the princi-
pal values of the quick" is its saving
of platinum, %hich heretofore has
been lost to the placer miners.
The heavy deposits Of platinum in
Southern Oregon have been of practlc-
ally no value. because of inability to
save that element Biologists state
that the platinum fields of Southern
Oregon are second only to those of the
Ural Montains, in Asia, where nearly
all platinm used by science is oh
tained.

quit work in the Treadwell mine on
Douglas Island. Alaska. All gave mp
their positions last week. Forty re-
turned on the steamer Dolphin, which
brings the news of the wholesale de-
sortion Of the mine employees.
The men do not make any charge of
mismanagement, or unsafe condition
Of the mine. They rather intimate
that the most famous quartz property
in Alaska is "hoodooed. " In support
of this contention, they cite that seven
met violent deaths within a week at
