He sank r;lrner melodrumatically
into his seat, yet his face and form did
not lose that sudden assumption of
dignity which i had observed in him
ever since my entrance into the house.
Il am overwhelmed by this news"
he remarked. "She has shot herself?
Why"
II did not say that she had shot her.
SELF" I carefully repeated. Yet the
facts point that way and Mr.. Jeffrey
accepts the suicide theory without
question"
"Ah, Mr.. jeffrey is there!
Most certainly; he was sent for at
once"
"And Miss futile? She came with
him of course?"
"She came, but not with him. Sne is
very fond of her sister,"
Il must go over Mt once!" he cried.

about for his hat. at is my duty to

TO put the house Mt their disposal"
Here he found his hat and placed it on
his head. "The property is mine now,
you know" he politely. explained, turn
ing, with keen light.in his gray eve,
full upon me and overwhelming me
with the grand air of man who has
come unexpectedly into his own. Mrs
Jefrey's father was my younger broth
er--the story is an old and long one,
and the property, which in all justice
should have been divided between us,
went entirely to him. But he was a
good fellow in the main and saw the
injustice of his fathers will as clearly
as 1 did, and years ago made one on
his own account bcqueathing me the
whole estate in case he left no issue or
that issue died. Veronica was his only
child; Veronica has died; therefore the
old house is mine and all that goes
with it-all that goes with it."

RUNAWAYS ARE NU MER0US
Three Runa ways the Past Week
But no one Hurt.

During the past week there have
been three runaways on Front street
between Sixth and Ninth streets The
ice wagon team headed the list. They
ice along the route and
when the ice gave out they left parts
of the wagon at different points. A
few days later a single two.wheeled
rig carrying two men won't dashing up
the street The driver kept tight rein
on the horse and finally succeeded in
stopping it without damage.
On Monday morning while 7. b. FL
lott was ON Seventh street selling
vegetables his team became frightened
and ran up the street. They truned
down Front street at Seventh, but
took too large a circle and the tongue
of the wagon hit squarely in the CEN
tre Of an oak tree trunk. The collision
played havoc with the light wagon.
The horses continued for little dis
tance one horse going on each side Of
the tree. As soon as they were freed
from the running Reer they stopped,
turned around and surveyed the wreck
they had made.

TELEPHONE TO GALICE
Work will Now Be Commenced
to Connect Merlin and Galice.

A. b. Cousin came down from Port
land this morning to complete arrange
ments for the new telephone line to
Galice from Merlin. Nearly all the
poles have been cut along the route for
some time, but active construction has
been delayed owing to probable
change of the wagon road. As the
line will follow the main travelled
road and it now being decided to i'm
prove the present one rather than
change the route, gang of men vii
be set at work putting up the poles
and wires.
Including the line now in operation
on the property Of the Gailce Consoli-
dat at Galice creek there will be
about 2S miles of a system that will
put some Of the best mines in the
state in direct connection with the
outside world.
Considerable Inconvenience has been
caused all along the other side of
Rogue river by lack of means of COM
munication for a month or six weeks
at a time during the high water.
The trade aud travel Of Calico is
assuming large proportions and a rail.
road down the river is assured and
ample tonnage is promised to make it
paying proposition. With the devel-
opment OF the immense ore bodies by
half dozen energetic companies and
the prosperous condition Of the placer
mines Gattce is attracting more atten-
tion from investors and mining men
than any other camp in Oregon.

our PERSONAL COLUMN GOLD FOR EXHIBITION THE
Josephine Miners to Be Repre-
scented at the Mining Congress.

Grants Pass and Southren Oregon
now have an unparalleled opportunity
to show to the mining world that they
have a very attractive mining section /;
section that has the advantage of
climatic conditions, and that they
have the ore in both high and low
grades.
q The American Mining Congress,
which meet' at Portland next week
will bring together the representative
mining men of the world and men who
have money or men who represent
money that is seeking investment.
Josephine county has many attractive
properties that are needing money for
further development and If we seize
this opportunity of properly advertis-
lug our mining industry we may look
for wonderful growth in the mining
business of this section. The growth
is bound to come slowly but with ju-
dicius advertising we can hasten the
process.
For the past week committees of
the Grants Pass branch of the Miners
Association have been busy arranging
for an exhibit of ores for the American
Mining Congress which meets at Port
land August 22.27. As the time is
very short number of teams have
been engaged and are now busy gath
ering ores from the different mining
districts. The best of these samples
will be sent to Portland for exhibit.
There will also be placer and qusrtz
gold in large and small pieces 1t is
expected that H. L. Gilkey will take
a splendid collection Of gold nuggets
amounting to $4,000 or $4,000. Arrange
ments have also been made for TAX
ing the entire Briggs collection, so
much Of it as has not been melted.
These collections will direct great
amount of attention to Southern Or
egon.
1t is the intention to keep a display
of ores ON exhibition at Grants Pass
continuously and to that end the
Hobbs building, opposite the Western,
has been rented and is being fitted up
with shelves and tables for ore exhib-
it's. They will be arranged around the
room alphabetically SO as to avoid any
possibility of showing favoritism in
placing them.
1t is probable that n number Of min
ing men will come to Grants Pass and
this means is being taken to show
them the product of the different
mines. There are without doubt from
two to twenty mining men arriving in
Grants Pass every day seeking infor-
nation about the mines and hereto
fore there has been no place where
they could go for this information.
This is a move that should commend
itself to all mine owners and receive
their hearty support.
