BLUE LEDGE COPPER MINE
Makins Good showing Under
Systematic Development.

There is going to be something
doing at the Blue Ledge copper mine
on Elliott creek pretty soon. and
those "doins" will not be small ones
either. For the past several months
DR.. ]. f. Reddy and his associates
have been quietly prosecuting the de-
velopment of the property in order
to sataisfy themselves that ore was
there in sufficient quantities to pay
for operating it,
They are now fully satisfied with
the prospect and negotiations toward
the opening up of the mine are now
in progress. This week G. ID. Ged-
dis, of Denver, Colorado, arrived and
will take charge of the work as sup.
erintendent.
There are three routes by which a
road from these mines can connect
with the Southern Pacific in this
valley.
The mines are situated nearly on
the summit of the Siskiyous and we
are informed by parties we'll acquanit-
ed with the country. that railroad
route with easy grades can be found
along the summit of the mountains
and can be brought into the valley
either through the Wagner creek or
Anderson creek pass, the latter being
preferable. Either of these passes
have the advantage of giving a route
about 10 miles shorter than the one
via Jacksonville.
The benefits to be derived from the
opening of these mines are far reach.
ing. No one section Of the valley
will receive all of them, but general
increase in the volume of trade of all
kinds will follow the building of the
road above mentioned and the opening
up Of this vast body OF mineral.
1t isn't local proposition at all.
1t is general. 1t means new era,
not only in the mining business in
Southern Oregon, hut in all other
kinds Of industry. -Mtdford Mail.

Safeguard the Children

Notwithstanding all that is done by
boards of health and charitably in
olined persons, the death rate among
small children is very high during
the hot weather of the summer
months in the large cities; there is
not probably one case OF bowel com.

could not be cured by the timely use

Wiles of the Taxidernist.

These are busy days for the taxider-
| mist, and his little tricks are the
amusement and amazement of the
amateur hunter. A successful gunner
| brought in a beautifully-marked wood
duck and wanted it mounted. 'Save
me the body" he remarked, after the
| preliminaries We're settled. 'Impos-
sible," said the taxidermist. "See this
table. 1t has arsenic on it, and I am
afraid some Of the poison might adj.
here to the flesh; you are poisoned, l
am blamed. 1t would not be safe to
| give you the body" That stereotype
reply usually results in the customer
yielding the portland the duck. The
latter is either eaten by the taxider-
| mist and his family, or he passes it
| along to some friend with his compli-
ments. The experienced hunter lays
down the law: "See here; no fooling.
Skin my duck on a piece of clean pa
per and send me the body. Dye hear"
There is no further controversy.-NeW

Penitentiary Report.

The penitentiary directors Monday
evening filed their report with Cover
ror Aycock, showing a net surplus of
sl32,86S. Included in this arc SEC, 900
in penitentiary debt bonds purchased
by the directors. Other assets, con-
sistlng mainly of cotton, are estimated
AT the present market value, several
crops being left out of the estimate so
as to offset any further slump in cot
ten. But for the slump the surplus
would have been $4,000 the direc-
tors state. They recommend that the
$4,000 debt bonds they hold be de-
voted to the establishment of a re-
formatory for young criminals. The
Governor approves this recommends
ton The prison and it's various
branches are in good physical condi-
ton and the past four years were un-
marked by any epidemic, small or
great. The order was good, generally
speaking, the convicts have behaved
exceptionally well, this being due to
strict discipline and kind and consider
ate treatment. There are now hospi.
tai wards for white and negro con-
sumptives. Many improvements have
been made in the convict quarters at
the State farm. The latter yielded
great harvest.

The Market Fowl.

Mr.. P. H. Jacobs, editor Of The
Poultry News, crowds a large amount
Of sound common sense into u very
short article as follows:
The market fowl is an Insignificant
object with those who advocate the
standard, and they boldly proclaim
their destestation of any mongrei
grade, or breed that is not recognized
by what they term the "infallible
guide" to success with poultry. Our
standard friends may be sound
enough on the standard requirements,
but we will say to them that when
they begin to build up the breeds ac-
cording to the standard by pulling out
the pillars that support the poultry
structure the falling ruins will crush
them as we'll as those whom they
despise. Like Samson, they will die
VITA the Philistines, for the founda-
ton of the standard breeds is the mar
ket poultry. But for those who keep
chickens" the fancy breeders would
have no markets for their productions,
and admitting that they displace the
scrub altogether they must create
newer kinds OF find the markets all
supplied. The question as to the profit
ableness of a breed and its use as q
thing Of beauty" must be discussed
in it's plainest sense. To retain the
standard and keep up the purity CT the
breeds it must be demonstrated that
profit is sure to result, and unless that
is done the labor will be but thrown
away.

Rec1aiming Land.

A considerable per cent. of the best
arabic land in the South IS to-day al
most entirely unproductive. 1t is
those lands lying along rivers, creeks,
branches, that have been cleared OF
their forest growth and have been Gull
tivated but for some reason have been
allowed to grow up in weeds and
bushes Of one kind OF another. Near
ly all of this land is rich and if put in
frst-class shape would produce a bale
Of cotton or fifty bushels of corn with
out any manuring. Most of this land,
all, is set in Bermuda grass, and il
nothing else, but if it had possession
there would be a most magnificent
pasture OF meadow capable of produce
ing $50 worth of beef, pork OF mutton
to every acre of it. If used only as a
meadow it would yield from two to
five tons of the best hay IL the world.
1t is a pity these lands are not put in
condition to do their best for they
would be the most profitable part Of
the farm. 1t is true it would take a
lot Of hard work to get them back in
| perfect shape, a lot Of moving, grub
bling and chopping that the average
farmer is not able it seems to bestOW
upon it. It would pay we'll to clean
up all patches ven along the branches
and creeks. Such as are not set liz
Bermuda could be used for sugar cane,
if desired. There is so little good land
on the farm to-day the best should
certainly be reclaimed with as little
delay as possible.-Florida Agricul-

Tragedy in Raleigh.

Raleigh, Special.-A little before
noon Thursday one of the most be-
loved men in Raleigh, James H. AL
ford, almost seventy years old, vas
shot down and fatally injured in his
printing establishment by R. D. By
mum a man of 35 years, one of his
partners in the job printing business.
Afford died Thursday night. The 9th
er partner Of the firm of Afford, By
mum & Christophers, namely, Charles
D. C~hristophers, was present and wit
messed the shooting. The front door
of the establishment is closed, and
the terrible affair occurred in the
printing room, which is separated
from the front Office by a door.
Bynum is a hard drinker, and has
been on a debauch for some days.
1t is stated that he went into the place
and began to curse Mr.. Afford, and
then made a motion as if to pull a
pistol from a hip pocket. At this AL
ford moved towards him, and then,
according to Affords statement, By
num rapidly shot three times. The
pistol must have been held very close
to the body. Powder burns show
where two bullets entered the right
breast. one bullet remaining in the
body and the other going upward and
smashing q shoulder blade. The 9th.
er bullet seems TO have missed its
mark. The old men fell between he
cases, Christopners failing to stop
Bynum from leaving the place, evl-
IDENTIFY fearing that the drunken man
would shoot him also. 1t seems that
only one or two persons heard the
noise OF the shot, but did not locate
it. Bynum walked out Of the front
door and along East Hargett street.
His ~dishavelled appearance led one
Or two persons who passed him to
ask MIN what was the matter. He re-
piled in a drunken voice that he did
not know, or something to that effect,
and went on to the corner, turning
down South Blount street a few
blocks from the capitol building. The
first man who got into the inside OF
the place was led to enter by the ap-
pearance of C~hristophers, who in his
shirt sleeves and his shoulder cov-
cred with blood, ran out the front
door. The man who entered aided
Christophers and some others who
came in in removing Afford to the Of
flee.
