OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
YELLOW WITH GOLD.
Rich Strike Made in Southern Oregon
Mine Creates Excitement.

Medford-A strike was made in the
Opp mine last week that eclipses any,
thing that has ever been made on the
Pacific coast, and even beats the great
district of Tonopah and Goldfeld, in a
true-issure vein that is between slate
and porphyry, which averages Is feet
in width. An ore chute was opened
which is 100 feet in length and feet in
width, all specimen rock, which will
be exhibited at the Lewis & Clark fair,
in Portland. This rock is literally COW
cred with the yellow metal, and runs
$40, 900 to the ton.
One man took out $4,000 in one
shift, and the rock is now on exhibi.
ton at the Medford permanent exhibi-
tion building, Some sacks go as much
as 81 900 per sack. This strike has
caused the greatest excitement among
miners and prospectors of anything that
has occurred since the great Gold Hill
excitement in 1865, which this exceeds.
DR.. ]. F. Reddy came to Medford
from Spokane, WASH, one year ago, in
search of quartz property, and was
advised by many so-called experts that
there was nothing in the district that
would warrant an investment or expen-
diture of any capital along these lines,
but as inasmuch as DR.. Reddy could
plainly see that nothing but surface
work had ever been done, save where a
mine had paid from the grass roots, and
having unbounded faith in the district,
after careful examination, he decided
| to erect on this mine ten-stamp Fmill,
and since the erection of the same ii
has earned 500 per diem net, which
only shows that Southern Oregon today
has more <undeveloped resources than
any territory west of the Mississippi
river.

JAPAN CONTROLS KOREA.
Minister Runs codntry,s sand Removal
of Emperor is Proposed.

Paris, May 22.e- Reports received
here through authoritive channels rep
resent Japan as carrying things with a
high hand in Corea. Whether the re-
ports are Influenced by sentiment it is
impossible to say, but they recite a
number of specific facts supporting the
view that M. Hayashi, the Japanese
minister to Corea, no longer observes
the position of the other ministers at
Seoul. He is said to consider himself
a sort of resident general or viceroy,
thus taking precedence over his diplo-
matte colleagues, who are obliged to
await his convenience in dealing with
the court and government. The gen.
eral commanding the Japanese troops is
represented as seconding the assump-
tion of precedence on the part of the
Japanese minister.
The official reports confirm reports
from Pekin that the Japanese recently
exerted strong pressure upon the en-
peror of Corea to induce him to leave
the country and 60 to Japan with the
evident purpose of removing him as an
obstacle to the development of Japan
ese control. The emperor is said to
have requested the departure of the
Japanese officials who had made this
representation and to have taken dis
Greet means to permit the European
government to learn of the prospects Of
his removal. Finally, when this in.
formation reached the St. Petersburg
Foreign Office, it issued a protest
against Japan's assumption of control
of the affairs of Corea.

Use Wireless on Coast.

Vallejo, Cal, May %. = It is pro-
posed by the Navy department to es-
tablish wireless telegraph stations at
Point Iona, Cape Blanco, Cape Flat
terry, North Head, Point Wilson and
Bremerton. The establishment of
these new stations will practically
cover the Pacific coast, and they will
be especially valuable to warships car
rying wireless instruments. The
Weather bureau has offered to turn
over to the Navy department some ma
terials and instruments to help fit out

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD.
Wheat. Rye, Barley and Hay Promise,
to Eclipse Josephine Records.

Grants Pass Farmers from the out
lying district report the cereal crop for
the Rogue river valley in excellent
condition this year, and to be heading
from two to three weeks in advance of
several years past. Larger quantities of;
wheat have been planted in the past
year in Josephine county than every
before, and it is believed that a number
of men who have recently purchased
their farms, will pay off the first cost
with the banner yield of this year.
Wheat all over the county is three to
four feet high, and has a uniformly
heavy growth.
A great deal OF rye and barley is be-
ing grown on the lowlands of the Rogue.
river valley this year, and these are
proving very lucrative crops. The hay
crop in the Upper Applegate, Williams
and Slate creek districts will show a
heavier tonnage than ever before in
the county, and the second crop of al
falta and red clover is ready for cutting
in many localities.

Fire Burns All Day Long.

Wilkesba1re, Pa, May 23.-One of
the most disastrous fires that has oc-
Cured in this city in years started early
today, and not until afternoon were the
fremen able to control the flames. The

duty on American imports levied in
retaliation for the, imposition of a
countervailing duty by the United
States on Russian sugars, which Am
bassador Meyer is trying to adjust, is

Strange as II may appear, a coal cell

Milk should never be left uncovered

while in making pastry a marble slab
is preferable to board for rolling out

Boots and shoes viii last much longer
II when bought the new leather on the

oil before using. The oil should first
be boiled, and when the boots are
taken out they should be allowed to

also prevents the Objectionable creak-
ing.
Where there are boys IL Is wise to
have the heels and knees OF new stock
tngs carefully darned before taking
them into use. This presents tougher
substance for the wear and tear Of

The first thing to do also with gloves

gloves to protect your knuckles. Twist
ing the body around In both directions
from the waist is a good exercise for
you. Leaning forword and then back

This Is n delusion. The weakness and
