BIG DISCOVERY
NEAR PRESTON PEAK
Prospectors While Chasing q
Bear Find O Big Copper
Vein.

Another big copper discovery has
been made in the Preston Peak dis
triot, which adds more proof that that
district il one Of the largest and
richest copper districts In the United
States. This district lies in the
shape of a letter l. with Preston
Peak M the apex. One rection ex'
tends east IN the Siskiyou mountains
to the great Blue Ledge copper mines
while the other extends north in the
Coast Range mountains and takes In
the big copper deposits Of Galice.
The Taki!ma copper mines are at the
inside angle of this great right.angled
district.
The new copper discovery WAS
made by Alex Brown aud John Fer
rem, two prospeotors from Rogh and
Ready. While on a prospecting trip
they ran onto bear which fled and
hid under a gofsan ledge. In their
search for the bear they found a
well marked vein Of copper Making
camp they began to develop their hnd
aud it proved to have width Of 20
feet and they were able to trace II
over the hills for 5000 feet. They
sunk several holes and have taken
out ore that assays high copper values
and 30 encouraging was the outlook
that they have located four claims.
so soon as a comfortable cabin can be-
built Messrs. Brown & Ferren will
undertake extensive development
work and get their property IN shape
that men seeking such an investment
may see it's full value.

X. Carter, residing on Evans creek
and who farms in the summer and
mines in the winter, was in Grants
Pass Saturday. In addition 10 other
crops Mr.. Garter raises onions and
beans. This year he has two acres to
beans and one acre to onions. His
beans will be good crop, bat the
yield Of his onions will be greatly
injured by the ravages Of some new
pest. This pest first appeared two
years ago and injured few oDious
and last year Mr. Carter lost u arly
half Of his crop aud the loss will be
about as great this year. Az to what
It is Mr. Carter has been unable TO
ascertain. The bulb OF the onion h
attacked near the roots aud a rot sets
in that soon destroys the entire onion.
Mr.. Carer will submit some Of the
diseased onions to Prof Cordley, at
the farmers institute in Grants Pass
on September 9Th, that he may, II the
disease is known, tell what it is and
what can be done TO eradicate II.

WHILE PEDDLING FRUIT
BOYS MAKE DISTURBANCE
Ridins Car Steps and Into Other
Trouble May Cause Them to
BE Kept Off Depot Grounds.

The boys peddling fruit on the de-
pot grounds are likely to cause them
selves to be prohibited from selling
fruit about the trains as has been the
case with the fruit peddlers a.
Eugene, ALBANY and Salem, where
the boys by their unnecessary noise,
fights and by riding on the cars
brought an order down on them that
ended their business career.
Early in the summer few boys
began to peddle fruit about the trains
at the Grants Pass depot. The bust.
ness proving profitable other boys
took it up until now there are n score
or more boys yelling at the top of
their voices while running up. To
these boys are added an equal number
Of idle boys, who with the fruit boys,
amuse themselves while waiting
for the trains by getting into fights
and by other diversions known to

many OF the boys hang on to the
steps and ride to the depot, ften
two and three boys are clingiug Ia
one Pullman car steps. A slip will
be made some day and boy will lose a
leg or an arm or his life. 1t il
against the rules Of the railroad com.
pany and also a heavy fine by the city
for boys to steel rides on steps ana
other places.
Many Of the boys are we'll behaved
and make no disturbance or ride car
steps but the hoodlum boys, who
always gather at such places, by their
figh ing and general disturbance are
liable TO cause the railroad company
to enforce their rules and all tn,
boys, bad and good, will be kept of
the depot grounds. If they behave
themselves they will probably be al
lowed to earn money by selling fruit,

THERE is BIG PROFIT IN
RAISING ANG0RA GOATS
An Idaho Farmer Gives Figures
to Prove That His Goats Are
Good Property.

The raising of Angora goats is soon
to be one of the big industries of
Oregon. The climate and range are
so favorable to goats that mohair
equal to the finest Turkish is pro-
duced and in the markets brings the
highest price. There are now
thousands of these goats in the
Willamette Valley and they are being
introduced into other sections of the
state. There are now many fine
bands in Rogue River Valley where
the brush covered hills and mild, dry
climate affords ideal conditions for
cheap fuel and Leslthfulness for the
goats.
Angora goats are being introduced
into other of the Western states and
of the profit of band in Idaho the
Milton Eagle has the following to
tell:
~. II. Smith, who owns 800 acres
near Freese, Idaho, has fully demon
str ated the fact that Angora goat
raising is not only source of revenue,
but affords most valuable means of
cleaning land. One year ago last
Spring he brought from Kalispel to
his fine range 1856 head of Angoras,
paying So for the ewes and $40 for the
bucks. 1t does not require much at
tention to care for the flock, as they
thrive we'll upon young trees and
noxious weeds, thus aiding materially
in cleaning the land During last
winter fed to my 1876 goats not to
exceed l2 tons of hay, and yet they
were in the best of condition., said
Mr.. Smith. This Spring his flock
had increased to 800, nearly 100 per
cent. The clip, which has just been
taken of, weighed $50 pounds, five
pounds to the fleece Mr.. Smith is
snow delivering this ON board the
cars at Palouse. Wash, for Min
neapolis, at 30 cents per pound.
"On the figures given the flock cost
$1,000 The next years return from
the mohair is $3.50. The increase ID
l64, which at S2 90 for this years
kids represents $40 more. The gross
profit on the transaction is therefore
$500, from which the cost Of ~ tont
of hay, wages for shearing, and the
cost of taking the mohair to market
are the deductions. So the goats
show GO 2.3 per cent profit, ire
spective of the value of the clearing
they did. ."

Miner Puts In a Mill and Cyanide
Plan mt and Builds II of Material
Had at His Mine.

]. II. Whitrock in the succe ssful
manner in which he is working a
quartz claim on Fiddlers gulch, a
tributary to Josephine creek. is
demonstrating what could be done
with many claims now idle in this
district, to make them profitable gold
producers with the investment Of bu
small capital supplemented by
scientific skill. Mr.. Whitrook is u

money but much ambition and deter

Winning out on quartz proposition
that he may locate waiting for
buyer is not always profitable. When
Mr.. Whitriock located his claim on
Fiddlers gulch he determined not to
wait. possibly years for buyer, but
to work the mine to the best his
small capital would permit, BY
working for others he saved money
enough to take course in San
Francisco mining school and gained
knowledge of the various processes
for treating gold ore. Two years ago
he began to equip his mine. Assisted
his father. Henry whitrock, he built
all arrastre and having an available
water power he utilized that by a
l6-foot overshot wheel to operate
almost all free milling and as IL run

big wages with their little plant,

them transportation to the Illinois
river settlements where lumber and

in the tailings. To effect this saving
Mr.. Whitrock built small cyanide
plant. 1t has q capacity Of 500 pounds
day and it has proven very profit.
able undertaking, for while the arras-
tire is securing good returns the rock
is 80 very rich that the cyanide plant
is able to save from S25 to S35 ton.
Mr.. Whitrock is making no demon
stration about his mining venture and
has no promoter to give lurid ao-
counts Of fabulous wealth. but he and
his father arc quietly working away
in the solitude of the Coast range Of
mountains developing their mine and
getting bank account that will enable
them to equip 1t with compile to mill
for handling ore in large quantities.
They have tunnel in distane Of 240
feet on the vein and the latter is now
showing up even better values than
when first opened and is fully three
feet in width. There Is every in
dcation TO show that Mr.. Whitrock
has a mine that will be one of the
big gold producers in Southern Ore.
gon, There are many other similar
propositions in his district awaiting
the right man to develop them and
to make them into good pay ing prop

WILL UNDERTAKE
POULTRY RAISING
High Prices OF Poultry and Eggs
Cause New Corners to Take
to Poultry Business.

Poultry raising as usually carried
on by the farmers of Josephine, is in
a very easygoiug manner aud no
system In employed. The chickens
take their chances for food and shelter
and the laying season for the hens is
only for few weeks in the spring
with not an egg for the remainder OF
the year. The few chickens raised
are also creatures of chance and Of
the industry and seoretiveness of the
hens in hiding theiI nests. The re-
suit of this haphazard production Of
poultry is that eggs are drug OH
the market for few months in the
spring and for the remainder of the
yeai are almost impossible of pur-
chase even at 40 to 50 cents dozen.
Poultry supply and prices tluctuate
fully as much as do eggs
This feast and famine in the poultry
and market with the very profitable
prices that can be had for the greater
part of the year is stimulating per-
sons to undertake the poultry bust
ness and carry 1t on under systematic
methods. One of the new poultry
raisers of Grants Pass vicinity is
l.. A. Palmer, late arrival from
Trinidad, Humboldt county, Cal. Mr..
Palmer has purchased four acres Of
land on the east road in South Grants
Pass. The property is fenced aud
under cultivation AMI has a dwelling
house on II. Mr.. Palmer will erect
this fall houses and sheds and arrange
for keeping u large number Of
chickens. He will give special at
| tentiOn to 30 caring for his hens that
they will keep up the eggs supply
more regular than the average farm
hen. He will put in inoubators and
will hatch eggs at all seasons so he
can have young chickens TO sell at
all times. Mr.. Palmer has carefully
investigated the poultry business and
he is confident that there is good
profit in the industry. If 1t is properly
/ handled.
