C. F. Dlttmar, who has spent the
last four months looking over th'
southern Oregon mining district. writ.
ing TO Portland parties in regard tc
that section OF the state being "pock-
ety." says:
"rhe regulations of quartz districts
are made by deep veins. fissure OF
contact. But this does not mean that
these selfsame districts will be found
wanting in the more shallow veins
cash or check veins, so called. Suf-
flee to say that every such district
has its numberless instances. prospects
that at one tine or another may have
had good sh owings, but prospects, aft

Many prospects at first condemned

1t is equally true that many prospects
at first very fattering have 'pinched
out but the essential thing to keep
in mind is that there are always both
deep and shallow veins in all districts.
Southern oregon is today suffering
from the reputation of being pre-
dominantly shallow district, pocket
country in the parlance OF the pros
pector. The reason is not far to seek.
Originally Southern Oregon miners
were exclusively placer miners. Be-
tween placer mining and quartz min
ing there is quite as much difference
as between woolgrowing and cotton
growing. There is a close sympathy
however, and a similar fascination, and
it was natural for the placer miner to
look for gold in quartz as well as
gravel, so that we find the average
southern oregon prospector was at
first only a placer miner plying an
avocation. But quartz benches so rich
and numerous were found and un-
covered that pocket hunting soon de-
veloped into very profitable pastime.
Prospectors of this school began flock
ing in from all districts, and southern
oregon became hopelessly infested
with that genus of gold miner. OF
late years the district has been favor
ed with a little genuine quartz pros
pecting, so that by degrees it Is free

miner. and also from its reputation as
an exclusively pocket country.
"Pocket mining has had vogue in
southern oregon enjoyed In few dis

counties, but the presence Of these So
called pockets does NOT gainsay the
presence of other and deeper veins any
more than the presence Of similar rich
quartz deposits in Tuolumne county,
California, precluded the presence Of
the rich deep veins that were subse-
quently found and developed there,

WATSON'S VIEWS.
The Georgian's Opinion of Roosevelt
and Parker.


Thomas f.. Watson, the candidate of
the Peoples party, is getting a great
deal of amusement out of what he calls
the independent side-show of his own,
of which he is sin full militant aggres
.sive control" He says he respects
Roosevelt and the Republicans because
they know what they want, are candid
in stating their position and fearless in
fighting for their principles. He prefers
Roosevelt to Parker, because the former
lis not seeking the support OF Bryan
Democrats upon false pretenses. He is
not playing confidence game on the
negro question. He is not attempting
to win Jeffersonans by a sham adher-
ence to Jeffersonian principles. He is
not in AMBUSH he is behind no blind;
he stands out in the open and says to his
enemies: Here / am, a Republican
who stands pat on all existing conditions:
If you want a fight, come on.
Mr.. Watson's letter is full of vitriolic
contempt for Judge Parker as weakling
and artful dodger 1t ridicules his posi-
ton on the pension question and says
his pledge to revoke Order No. rs
amounts to saying Roosevelt did the
right thing, but not in the right way,
and if you will elect me President l
will do the same thing in the proper
way"
AS to the Democracy itself Mr.. Wat
son asks:
"Who could put faith in the pledges
of the party which has so little unity
of conviction as the National Demo
cracy?"
What party ever made and broke 50
many pledges"
What party ever changed it's ground
SO often?''
What other party ever unloaded all
of its principles at one quick throw
down as they did at st. LOUISE"
Candor compels the answer "None."
II remains the party of nothing but big
professions, unfulfilled promises and
pledges

FOR HOME AND FIRESIDE.
Lincoln Signed Homestead Law-Mii-
lions Thus Become Freeholders.

The Homestead Law was passed by a
Republican Congress-Democrats oppos-
ing-and signed by President Abraham
Lincoln in 1862. 1t has proven to be
one of the most beneficial measures ever
enacted by a Congress or signed by a
President: 1t has largely populated the
West, UP to date, with independent
homecoming citizens. 1t opened to inn
mediate settlement millions of acres of
public domain, chiefly west of the Mis-
slsSippi. Settlers rushed in from the
Eastern States and from Europe. More
than any other influence, it has contrib
uted to the development of the Western
States and the rapid growth of the ma
ton.
The Democratic party was true to its
policy of obstruction in this, as it has
been in every other measure intended
for the good of all the people. The first
bill, introduced in 1859, passed the
House by vote of 100 to 76. The Re
publicans were supported by few scat
tering Northern Democratic votes, but
the Southern Democrats voted in body
against it. The Senate was then Demo
cratic, and no vote was taken in the up
per house. In March, 1860, Mr.. Love
JOY reported the Grow Homestead bill,
and it was passed by a vote of 113 to
60; all of the affirmative votes, except
one, being from the free States. The
Senate passed a different bill and there
was a conference which finally agreed
upon a modified bill This was vetoed
June %, 1860, by the Democratic Presi-
dent, buchanan.
In 1862, when the Republicans had
majority of 80 i'll the House and II i'll
the Senate, a new homestead bill was
passed and signed by President Lincoln,
as stated. The measure was framed by
Republicans and passed by Republican
votes. At the same session were passed
the acts establishing Department of
Agriculture and providing for agricul-
tural colleges. In 1864, 1870 and 1872
bills were passed by Republicans giving
Union soldiers special homestead priv
ileges. These measures encouraged thou
sands of soldiers who were discharged
in 1865 and 1866 to emigrate from the
East to such States as Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and the Dakotas, in the middle
West. SD
There are many and strong reasons
why the western farmers, ranchmen and
miners should vote the Republican ticket,
but the national Republican legislation
that gave homesteads to millions is
enough, of itself, to bind the West ire
yocably to the Republican party.

THE PARTY OF THE FLAG.

The old flags still a-waving, the stars
are clean and white,
The red and blue are cleaning, a joy
to every sight.
With drum beat and with trumpet, with
musket and with sword
The old flag came to being, each thread
with glory stored.
We held it high, triumphant, when il
was but a rag,
And still We stand beneath it, the party
of the flag!
The old flag and its story! The old flag
and its TRUTH
We wove it in the passions that marked
the nations youth;
We dyed it in the likelihood of our heroic
sons;
1t wrapped the laureled caskets Of our
heroic ones.
Il waves to-day in honor from forepeak
and from crag.
And we stand proud beneath it, the party
of the flag.
The old flag and it's honor! The old flag
and its pridel
1t shakes silent challenge whenever it'S
defied;
1t whispers us blessing all through the
starry night;
1t sings song Of safety when blazing
i'll the light.
1t bushes all contention, all buster and
all brag,
And we stand firm beneath it, the party
of the flag.
The old flag and its meaning! The story
it has made!
The story of brave actions, of soldiers
unafraid,
The story of stern duty; Of faith that
there should be
One land from south to northland, one
land from sea to sea.
We held it high, triumphant, shot-rid-
died and rag;
And still we stand beneath it, the party
of the flag!
