BIG GOLD BEARING Dixie
l.. g. Higgins Makes Rich Find
In Chetco District.

A find Of great magnitude and i'm
portance was made recently in the
Chetoo district by l.. G.. Higgins,
who returned last week from pros.
pecting trip in that country.
Mr.. Higgins discovered dixie Of
gold bearing porphyry, 800 feet in
width, lying between walls Of diorite
and slate. On the diorite wall there
is "spill" of gold that can be traced
for 800 feet On the slate wall the
gold IL traceablo for 1000 feet
Mr.. Higgins dug into the dixie and
uncovered some remarkably rich ore,
showing free gold in quite exciting
quantity. He has piece Of rock
about the size OF n mans hand, that
is filled with particles OF gold rs
large as flakes Of wheat bran. Mr.
higgins says there was nothing to
indicate that the place where he ex.
cayated was any richer than any other
spot on the dixie.
The find is on the Chetco river just
west Of the Josephine county line
1t is reached by way Of Selma and
the Illinois river route.

Leland Siftings

Our weather is dry; a little rain
would be good to start vegetation.
People are coming here from diff
erent places, looking for work, also
for health.
Homer Wilson, of the Wilson mer-
chantile Co., of Leland, has, with
his family, gone to st. Louis to take
in the worlds fair.
The air has become smoky again.
For few days the atmosphere was
clear. More campers in the hills
mean more forest 6res.
Col. Blaisdell, one of our staunch
placer miners down Grave creek, is
erecting a saw mill. For the present
he will cut lumber for the miners
Postmaster Henry Balls mother is
here on visit. Reports sly she is
highly pleased with Leland. She
is a resident of the. willamette val
ley.
Some farmers have cut their third
crop of hay. The next crop will 60
for pasture as in September we have
some foggy weather, so the hay will
be hard to cure.
Times are good here; our merchants
are doing a big business; money is
plentiful People coming from Cot
tage Grove report dull times there.
No wonder, it is too far from Le-
land.
Wm. Muncers, while piling wood
for T. j. Mackin, got too warm
and cooled Off too quickly; took cold
and it settled on his lungs, so he is
on the sick list. He has weak lungs.
That is all the sickness we have to
report.
We see by the Oregonian that in
the circus that showed recently in
Portland, the employer did not allow
any OF his employees to use profane
language. That is right. Why not
enact law in Josephine county to
prohibit swearing? We think it
would pass as quickly as the hog
law did. We think the English
language has words enough to express
ones ideas without swearing.
4 man, in running tunnel to tap
a mineral ledge a little below Leland,
came across deposit of fine specie
of stone, suitable for razor homes
1t resembles petrified wood, has a
very fine grain, and puts fine edge
on razor Wide Awake.

The people Of Grants Pass have a
right to be proud of their mining OK
hibit and it is to hc hoped that the
interest aud wide awake spirit which
prompted it, will not be allowed to
flag and that the exhibit will be
maintained permanently. 1t will
grow constantly and can be made
many times larger and better tnan it
is now. Visitors are impressed with
the variety and excellence of our ore
and there is no boubt that Grants
Pass and Josephine county are being
greatly benefited by the ehxibit az 1t
is and 1t is certain that the benefit
will greatly increase as the exhibit
is enlarged, improved and made more

THE DEVEL L0PMENT LEAGUE
To Meet at Gran ants Pass Friday
September 25.

In order to extend the influence OF
the Oregon Development League still
farther throughout the state. there
will be held at Grants Pass, Friday,
September %, the Southern Oregon
session of the League, and arrange
ments for this event are now being
made. Secretary Tom Richardson,
Of the Oregon Development League,
is now in correspondence with L. j.
Blakely, Of RosebuIg, president
of the State League, with whom he is
arranging for an extensive advertis-
ing Of the Southern Oregon session.
Vice President Blakely will begin
at once sending out invitations to all
the cities and towns of Southern Ore.
gon, asking them to send representa-
tives to Grants Pass to attend the
session. 1t is expected that the
Grants Pass gathering will be the
largest in the history of that section,
for it will be made plain that the
movement is for the benefit Of South
ern Oregon interests, and the repre-.
sentatives of those interests will be
urged to be on hand and help cheer
the good work along.
+. L. Smith, president Of the
League, will be at Grants Pass to
preside ever the session, and lend
his able assistance to enlist the en-
thusiastic support Of Southern Oregon
in the enterprise
Secretary Richardson is in high
spirits over the result Of the South
eastern session at Baker City last
Friday, and predicts that now the
ice is broken and the nature of the
movement has been thoroughly dis
cussed, the State League will receive
earnest and genuine support from
that section. The interest shown BY
those who attend the session, says
Secretary Richardson, is highly en-.
couraging and gives assurance that
Eastern Oregon is properly disposed
toward the movement.
A. L. Craig, general passenger agent
OF the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company whose speech before the
convention on the friendly disdosi-
tion Of the railroads toward any dis
trict that gave Inducements for rates
and excursions, says he is hopeful of
good results from the Baker City
gathering. Mr.. Craig's address be-
fore the convention was one Of the
happy features of the meeting. He
pointed to the horticultural and agri-
cultural exhibit on the opera house
stage, as one of the strongest adver-
tisements in behalf of Baker county.
He told his hearers that all any
country had to do was to get in and
hustle, give the railroads an induce.
ment to offer rates and the same
would be Forthcoming in good season.
President E. L. Smith expressed
himself after the meeting as well
satisfied with the interest shown, and
said there were good prospects ahead
for strong hold in Eastern Oregon
by the Oregon Development League. -
