THE STATE PRISON.
What has been done under the administra-
ton of Warden Norton.

ton of Warden Norton.
From various sources we have heard
of the good work done at the State
Prison under the administration of
Warden Bernes O. Norton. First in
! Importance are the financial results.
At the close Of the year before Mr..
Norton took charge the State appropri-
alton had been exhausted and the in
stitution was in debt. This deficit has
been made up, $4,000 of the State ap-
preparation remains unexpended and
after the payment of all bills the end of
| Warden Norton's first year will show a
balance of $4,000 in the bank. There
has been a material Improvement in
discipline of the prison, the output of
carriages amounts in value to $1,000
over the preceding year, and dealers
who handle the Prison carriages and
sleighs say that they are superior to
any before manufactured there. Mr..
E. r. Conner of this city is one of the
largest dealers in this line and recently
placed large order for sleighs. From
the write-up of a special correspondent
| of the Portland Argus, who recently
visited the prison, the following facts
are taken:
| Every building has been repainted
and reshingled during the past season,
| all the brick work has been chinked,
and other outside IMPROVEMENTS made,
so that now an air of neWness pervades
the whole of the prison. Besides the
four buildings i'll the prison yard, the
six outside houses used as residences
by the officers have been reprinted and
repaired and new hardwood floor,
new windows and other improvements
made in the harness shop. In fact, all
the departments have received more or
less extensive repairs. No new build
ing has been erected, the changes con-
sist in bettering the condition of the
old buildings both inside and outside.
In the broom shop from 25 to SO men
find all the work they can do. The out
put is 100 dozen brooms day. In the
wood shop they have manufactured the
past summer 100 sleighs, 50 OF which
are sold. The past year they have made
nearly 200 carriages, besides doing a

here from 80 to 40 miles distant to have
their carriages repaired. Stove wood is
quite extensively manufactured at the
prison. The wood is bought in length
of four feet, is sawed into foot lengths
by machinery, and then split into small
pieces. The splitting is done by the in
sane.
Beyond the wood and paint shop is
the harness shop in a we'll lighted
wooden building 175 feet long and So
feet wide. Here an average of so men
are steadily kept at work. They make
single harnesses worth from SIS to 500
and double harnesses from $25 to 5000.
The single harnesses which sell for
500 have the English Silver Swedge
long tug, and are stitched from u to IA
to the inch. The men work on orders
the greater part of the time.
The number of convicts now in the
prison is 172, which includes the % per
sons in the insane department. Since
Warden Norton assumed his duties, 20
prisoners sentenced by the State or
United States courts have been re-
ceived from Cumberland county.

you left the swinging doors of Alumni
behind, that the long walk downtown
was thing of the past, and you turned
into the grounds of your" house with
thanksgiving in your heart.
The next morning was clear, cool and
crisp,-ideal football weather. You
longed to get out of doors fora tramp,
but it was your turn to shoe out" and
no such neglect of duty would be al
lowed in q Freshman. You were up on
the field in good time, however, III the
afternoon and "got into" the cheering
with all your might. No grands tand
for you, for when you were tired of one
position on the bleachers you sought
the side-lines, there to follow out every
play with the keen eye of the man who
knows the signals. The varsity gave
their supporters plenty of opportunity
for cheering during the first half, al
though when they trotted back on to
the field for the last half neither had
scored. That same last half was the best
football you had ever seen, and when,
in the last few minutes, Maine. with
touchdown and goal, won the game,
your enthusiasm knew no bounds, and
you thumped a dignified Senior on the
back with such vigor, while keeping
time with your yells, that he finally
realized the state of affairs and re-
monstrated slightly. That evening
there was what some of the older boys
called ga regular old-time celebration"
but as it was your initiation into Maine
celebrations, you did not take very
active part until you were commanded
to get a hustle on and get some fuel
for the bonfire. A kindly Junior gave
you a hint that the direction of the
farm buildings was good one to take,
and you departed, returning well laden
with spoils whose ashes told no tales
and whose flames helped to silhouette on
| the surrounding ground the group of
+! rejoicing celebrators.

A Good Placer on Humbua

@ D. Smith was in Grants Pass
over Saturday for a wagon load of
supplies and Sunday he left for his
home on Humbug creek, two miles
above Applogate postohice. Until a
month ago Mr. Smith was resident
of Grants Pass and conducted the
Palace barbershop, but he leased the
shop and moved with his family to
Humbug creek, as he wished to get to
tho country and out of the confne-
ment Of q barber shop. He bought
the placer mine belonging to White &
Benson and ne has been at work of
late putting the ditch, dume, etc, in
order for piping, which he will begin
so soon as the rains set in TO afford
a water supply, Mr.. Smith has bis
mine equipped with No. 1 giant,
1900 feet of eight inch pipe witha a
head 100 feet to the water The ditch
is Of half a mile and the water supply
is good for the winter and spring
mouths, With the new addition to the
dume he now has c50 feet of boxes.
This mine has been worked by
ground sluicing aud drifting in a
small way for years past, and two
Germans are said to have taken out
over $40, 10y drifting in an old
channel that exists back of the pres
ent channel But the water prevent
ed extensive work by hand and the
best of the ground was never disturb
ed, There is ample fall to give a
good dump Tor hydraulic work. Mr.
Smith is very mach pleased with the
outlook for his mining venture, His
operations this winter win be largely
in the nature of prospecting and if ON
reaching the old channel it proves to
be as rich as sections Of it has been
found to be, he will enlarge his ditch
next fall and put ON a large giant.
Who're he is now working he has
a bank of l8 feet but TO work the old
channel he has to handle 40 foot
bank. 1t is however readily moved
with water ard he expects to clear
bedrock at a lively rate.

rough character of toe country and its
inaooessibleness has tended to keep
prospectors out and it has been but
little prospected until this past year.
OF those who have gone into this
wild region, II. J. Isaacs of this city
and Henry Mills, David Mortiny and
George Howard, of Placer have made
a find, that, for the limited develop
ment work done upon it. is showing
up IN a manner that indicates that
they have the making of big copper
and gold mine, They hold group Of
five claims located on the Coast
Range divide, 16 miles west of Kerby.
These claims are extensions of each
other and cover ledge that has been
traced for over 5000 feet and which
where prospected shows an average
width of 3 1-2 feet. Only limited
prospecting has been done and it con-
sists of tunnel of 60 feet and large
number of open cuts, but development
is being carried on by the owners and
Henry Mills. with his brother Grant,
has been steadily at work since last
fall and they will continue until
spring.
The ledge on these claims is cop
per and gold proposition, assays Civ.
ing 10 to 4S per cent copper and 30
cents to S54 in gold. This ore body
has every indication of belonging to
the same formation as the famous
Smith River copper belt that has
proven so rich, and the owners foel
sanguine that they have a property
that may prove to be of great value.

Mt. Baldy Miners Busy.

Mt. Baldy, which looms up across
the Rogue river valley five miles to
the southeast of Grants Pass, is con.
sidered by mining men familiar with
the locality to be rich in gold bearing
rock. The belief is substantiated by
the great number of ledges that have
been opened mp on this butte, and yet
only a limited amount of prospecting
has been done and it is probab 10 that
when Mt. Baldy is thoroughly ex-
plored it will be found to be a
network of quartz ledges. The ledges
so far opened up all show good values
and some of them give promise of
proving to be the making of rich
mines.

a miner Of that district, gives the
Courier the following facts:
Mr.. Hunter is in partnership with
A. l.. Smith, T.. A. Edgar and VIM.
Cant in the ownership of two claims
that they are now developing. The
work is being done by Mr., Hunter
and Mr.. Smith, Mr. Edgar and Mr..
Cant supplying the money necessary,
the former being farmer of Jerome
prairie and the latter Southern
Pacific tireman on the Grants Pass
division. Messrs Hunter & Smith
have been working since last fall and
viii continue until spring, by which
time they expect to have sufficient
work done to ascertain tho value and
extent of their ledge. They now have
a main tunnel of ls0 feet and some
other work The ledge has increased
in width as depth has been reached
until it now shows four feet in thick
ness, three feet of which is good pay
rock. With the completion of their
development work if the ore body
meets their expectation as to extent
and richness, il is the company's plan
to put up small mill in the spring
and begin the permanent working of
their mine.
Lin Scott and Ed Turner, who
have a claim adjoining the claims of
Messrs, Hunter d Co., are opening n
ledge that prospects we'll. Only a
little surface work has been done but
Il ledge of six to eight inches of rich
ore h as been uncovered. So en-
couraged are Messrs. Turner g. Scott
that they have decided to change
their tent abode for comfortable
house and to take up tho thorough
development Of their ledge. They
now are building log house 19xl4

comfort and style of miners home.
Ridley Springstead has lately
