PICKETT CREEK MINE
BEING DEVELOPED
Oregon timber. Mining a Invest
ment Co. Erect Mill-Begin
Grinding Ore Soon.

Tbs Oregon Timber, Mining & In-
vestment Company has taken up the
development of gold mine ON Big
Pickett, in which they have acquired
an interest, that promises to become
one of the most valuable properties
in Josephine county. The vein is 80
feet wide and so extensive is the de.
posit that 1t has been traced for
several miles across the county.
Several shafts have been sunk upon
the property, the two deepest being
40 and 60 feet each, and the entire
vein shows by assays, high values in
free gold.
The Company are planning for ex.
tensive Development and if the showing
warrants large mill will be erected
in the near future upon the mine.
While giving thorough test of the
ore trial will be given to new
quartz mill, recently perfected by W.
X. Whipple of Grants Pass. Mr.
Whipple's mill is being set up on
Big Pickett, three-fourths of mile
from the mine and it will be com.
pleted this week. Ore is being hanled
to the mill and grinding will be be-
gun next week. This mill grinds
ore instead of crushing or rolling,
and it is expected to prove success
in soft porphyry ore and reduce the
ore much faster than would stamp
mill. The mill for the present will
be run by a 10 II. p. gasoline engine.
II this mill proves to be as successful
as anticipated larger me will be

mill that has been destroyed was
that of Stevens & Sons south of Jack.

Rogue river, six miles below Grants

work to check the fire. While Mr..
Smith and his men were fighting the
fire to save the mill his dwelling
caught fire and was destroyed with
almost all the contents
The farmers have had big loss In
fences and timber. In almost every
valley the settlers have had to fight
fire night and day to save their fencei

Washington's New Society.

Washington is taking on many airs
was true that social activity, here
hinged entirely upon the going and COM
ing of congress, tbut that is no longer
the case, for the city now boasts of a
set which is quite as "uppish' in its
way as that of New York and New
port, and as exclusive. It is no longer
true that high official position assures
q welcome into this charmed circle, as
the wife of many an ambitious SEN
ator or representative has learned.
1t is announced that the wives Of
only three Of the present cabinet Off
GERS belong to the exclusive set: Mrs.
Hay, Mrs. Hitchcock and Mrs. Taft.
The other cabinet ladies take their
places in the little community circles
to which they belong, geographically.
Only ten senatorial families are on the
visiting list of this Washington 400,
and the families Of but three repre-
1t may be cruel to say SO, but this
Washingtons ''first. set'' is chiefly a
millionaire. set, tho. by way Of condor
ing this fact il. may be, said that not
all the millionaires: of the city belong
to it. Senator Clark Of Montana, for
instance, has never been on it's calling
list, a1tho he has tried for years to
show himself worthy of such distinc-
ton. Nor has Senator Kearns of Utah
ever been able to pass muster. Sen
ator Aldrich belongs, however, and SO
do Senators Depew, Lodge, Knox and
Wetmore. 49,.

The Morton Ambitions.

The family Of Secretary Morton
would like to. be. considered a part, Of
the. Washington upper ten, but this
ambition will probably never be re-
alized The Mortons have never been
on the visiting list of Mrs. Potter
Palmer in Chicago, which is the test
usually applied for people coming from
that city, and their mistake in giving
a fashionable reception on recent
Sunday has brought down upon their
heads much criticism that will never be
recalled. Strange as it may seem, the
Washington society people believe in
thing, outwardly at least, in observ-
ance Of the first day Of the week.
It may be worth while to state the
religious affiliations Of the cabinet fam
lilies. Three Of them belong to, the
Church of the Covenant, the leading
Presbyterian church Of the city, situ-
ated on Connecticut avenue, nthe
heart of the best residence section.
This is the church which President Har-
rison attended while in the White
House The cabinet families who at
tend this church are the Hays, Hitch
cocks and Wilson's. Secretary and Mrs.
Taft go the ST.. John s Episcopal
church, across Lafayette park from the
White House, the president s
church, as it is sometimes called
from the fact that more presidents
have worshiped there than at any
other church in the city. Mrs. Roose.
Welt and Miss Alice Roosevelt are
members Of this Church, as are .secre
tarv and Mrs. Metcalf.

Shaw attend Foundry Methodist church.
Secretary Moody, the only bachelor in
the cabinet, is a Congregationallst, in
which belief he is true to his New Eng
land ancestry.
The Mortons belong to no church,
and they have the courage. of their
convictions in giving the day no great
er weight than they do the other six.
The eight cabinet families which
have been mentioned as adhering to
some church, are represented regu-
larly at the Sunday morning services,
and frequently at the evening services
also. In this they are set a strenuous
example by the president, who never
misses the Dutch Reformed church
services when he is in the city.
