Bryan and Hearst Criticism Should
Cease.
New Bern Journal.


Those Democratic newspapers
which unwillingly, publish items as
news, which criticise the political
conduct of William j. Bryan or Will
liam r. Hearst, should note such
criticisms as being most inimical to
Democratic interests, and in them
selves are generally exaggerated, and
therefore in a measure actually false.
Three things about these gentle
men are positively true, they worked
as Democrats before the National
Convention, they acted as Democrats
during the convention, and both have
taken since the convention honorable
positions sustaining the proceedings
of the st. Louis convention.
If Mr.. Bryan had personal political
opinions before the National conven-
ton met he may have the same now,
but he has acquiesced to the majority,

]. IL. Clark. veteran miner Of 80
years experience, was in Grants Pass
over the Christmas holidays, returning
to his home at Murphy Thursday.
Mr. Clark in company with Frank b.
Smith. owns several claims tnat give
promise Of being rich ore producers
and which will provide them with
the wealth, that is the miners ever
alluring hope, that will enable
thom to lay down the pick and ham,
mer and take a life Of ease. One OF
their properties is on Chapman creek,
on Applegate just over the line in
Jackson county. and this mine Mr..
CLARK counts az their bank that never
fails to honor their drafts, when they
get short OF funds, for it is gold
mine that produces gold. This ledge
contains eight thin seams that all pitch
toward zach other and Mr.. Clark
says that lower down they probably
join to form one good vein. SO rich
arc the seams that they have mortared
and panned out over $1,000 and have
over 200 tons of orc on the dump that
is very rich. This they will work In
the spring when they will put in an
arrastre. They have a shaft 81 feet
deep on the ledge. but water prevent
cd further work. Their first work
in tho spring will ba to drive tun-
mel and drain the mine. Work will
then bo continued until tho mine Is
thoroughly developed. the ore thus
taken out TO bo worked by an ariasre.

development work has been done con-
sisting OF an open cut, but Messrs.
CLARK q Smith will begin work noxt

ON development until spring. They
in company with August Fetsch

This is a copper, gold and silver

ing, Of the Tacoma Company, who are
the present owners OF the property.
The mine is equipped with two No.
8 giants and has two bitches that
carry ample water both for piping
and by wash. The water, with the
aid of large reservoir holds out for
about eight months of the year. A
bank of 90 feet overlies the gravel
deposit on the bedrock, but it is soft
and readily cut by the water. This
mine is about mile above the Stur-
gis, now known as the Vance mine,
and the topography of the ground
leads to the belief that the same an
cient channel, that has made the
Sturgis such big gold producer,
will be found back of the modern
channel now being worked. This
mine has been moderate producer
for years and the ground now being
worked is good for several years to
come, even if no new ground is

Southern Oregon q Network Of
Ledees.

Miners familiar with prospecting
in this section claim that il the hills
of Souther Oregon were hydrauliced
off and cleared TO the bedrock of soil
that they would show perfect success
sion Of quartz lodges Hundreds of
these ledges will remain hidden for
years and years owing to the great
depths OF earth over them, for the
hills of Southern Oregon are not the
barren, rocky wastes that are found
in many other mining districts.
Even where the lodges do come to
the surface, very frequently no trace
of them can be seen for the dense
growth of brush, grass and weeds,
with the mating Of trash that they
produce, effectively hide them from
the eye of the prospector.
In the early days when the Indians
and the miners Wed with each other
in setting out fires, the one to make
better range for game and the other
to make gold hunting more easy,
prospecting could be prosecuted more
successfully than at the present time.
This difficulty in prospecting has been
one of the big factors in retarding the
development Of the mining industry
of this district and will continue to
hold it back for years to come. Yet
to the new conner 1t has proven an ad-
vantage for the chance Of finding a
rich ledge is as good now as ii was
years ago aud big finds will be made
in the future as they have been in the
past. and men, whose sole possessions
are pick, pan and shovel and
grubstake, will, in day, step from
poverty to wealth, and exchange the
humble, but nourishing beans and
flatjacks for the more toothsome por-
ter house steak and mince pie.
