From Our Exchanges

Andrew Botzbach, brother of the
late Fritz Botz bach of San Andreas
was killed by the earthquake in San
Francisco. He was caught in the
wreck of the Valencia hotel and went
down to death with many Others
News.
r. h. Mcconnell, who for over
twenty years was shotgun messenger
for Wells, Fargo & Co., on the stages
in the mountains, but of recent years
has been connected with the custom
house in San Francisco, arrived in
Stockton yesterday with his wife and
is stopping with his daughter, Mrs
John Hammond, jr. Mr. Mcconnell
was living on Bush street when The
earthquake occurred and says had he
not caught his wife she would have
been thrown out of the window of the
bedroom, the shock was so severe.
Mr. Mcconnell has passed through
many exciting and nerve racking
EXPERIENCES, having been shot several
times by stage robbers, but says they
are not a circumstance to the shake
up he received during the earthquake.
He spent part of the time in the park
and decided to come to Stockton for
short time. Stockton Independent.
The report has reached Sonora that
the wife of VIM. Reitz died In San
Francisco Tuesday evening. She was
victim of consumption and when
moved from her home after. the earth
quake, she prayed for death to relieve
her. She is now at rest and her
friends can rejoice rather than mourn
in her release from suffering and
sorrow. Banner.
1t is evident that David Paterson
and wife were killed in San Francisco
at the time of the fire. Their home
was on Third street. 1t is supposed
the earthquake destroyed the house
and the bodies were burned. Two
sons of deceased have made thor
ough search for their parents and
have failed to locate them. Mrs G.
A. Richards and Mrs Harry M. Slmp-
son, of this city, are sisters of the
dead. Banner.
1t was but few short months ago
when Jerome Ghiorso and Miss Lizzie
Kross we're united in the holy bonds
of matrimony and took their depart
ure for San Francisco, the former
happy man. Sunday he returned
alone and relates pathetic story of
the loss of his companion, who now,
like scores of others, sleeps beneath
the doomed city, where relatives may
never know their exact resting place.
Mrs Ghiorso was convalescing from
pneumonia when the earthquake and
fire visited said city, and she was
taken to hospital, where the sick
and injured we're cared for, but re.
latives we're not allowed to see them.
Twas at that place the Prince of
Peace entered without the knowledge
of her husband and her spirit winged
its flight TO the great beyond. -
Tuolumne Independent.
On the arrival of the passenger
train in Sonora, Monday, three of
Uncle Sans soldiers we're aboard.
Later they were riding through the
town with fixed bayonets in charge of
$50, 900 from Washington, d. c.,
consigned to the First National Bank,
of this city. After the money had
been safely deposited in the bank,
the soldiers kept guard alternately
until the morning when they return
| ed TO San Francisco. o.-Independent.

Beside The Golden Gate.

That fateful day the sea did take
His silver trumpet up to wake
The Mistress of the Keys,
His beauteous bride, who sleeping lay
Beside the door that guards the bay,
Amid her argosIes,
And blew one long, sweet t-cadenced
call,
Far echoing from Sierra's wall:
so favorite of fate!
The April dawn is in the skies,
The world hath need of thee; arise!
Beside the Golden Gate.'
She rose; a song upon her lips,
And looked upon the lordly ships
Which round her lay at rest,
Which brought Ger many thousand
miles,
From far off continents and isles,
The wealth of east and west;
And this she.sang: 81 take my toll,
All roads that run, all waves that roll,
Their tribute, soon or late,
Shall bring to heap around my knees
The store from all the lands and seas
Beside the Golden Gate.''
Stalwart she stood, in splendid bloom,
When on her fell the stroke of doom
Her song unfinished died.
She saw her strong foundations rent,
An earthquake, like blind Samson bent
The pillars of her pride.
Her talIest turrets rocked and Ieeled,
Her staggering belfries clamorous
pealed,
While flames in fiendish hate
t'logged thousands with their fiery
scourge,
Chanting the burning city's dirge,
Beside the Golden Gate.
But far above that fierce uproar,
From every cline, from every shore,
Rang out one clarion cry:
"Spike all the switches, spin the
wheels,
Speed all the steamers, steer the keels
Lest San Francisco die.
Loaded with friendly help they few
Ger tracks of steel, Der tides of blue,
From every town and state
She heard; and raised her bleeding
head,
"Thank God for human love-" she
said
Beside the Golden Gate.

MILL AT EUREKA MINE
TO BE STARTED SOON
Will Employ IS Mem-Saw Mill
to Be Built and Now Rood
to Be Opened.

John Meade came in Sunday from
the Eureka mine, where he is en-
ployed and remained in Grants Pass
over Monday so as to vote. he return
ing to his work Tuesday.
Mr.. Meade stated that there are l3
men employed at the Eureka mine ana
that so soon as the mill is started in
about two weeks, that the number
will be increased to 25 men. G. l..
Kenney is the superintendent and W.
r. MoKenstry, a we'll known miner of
Gold Hill, is foreman. The messhouse.
of which Mr.. Meade speaks highly, is
conducted by Miss Campbell Of Kerby
and Miss Cochran of Grants Pass
The only other woman at the mine is
Mrs. Frank Hart wife of the engineer,
but now that there is to be steady
employment several of the men will
move their families to the mine. Life
there is rahter isolated as it is six
miles to the nearest camp and II miles
by trail to Selma.
The Eureka mine Is located on Sol
dier creek, tributary of Briggs
creek. 1t is equipped with a 10 stamp
mill. cyanide Plant, assay office, black
smithshop, Office, messLouse and bunk
house. The lumber heretofore used
was whip sawed, but a sawmill is
now to be put up to supply addition
al lumber for buildings and mine
timbers. This mine was lately pur-
chased by Eastern men of large capital
and they are so well pleased with
their property that they will operate
it on large scale so soon as it can
be DEVELOPED sufficiently. In order to
get in additional machinery and sup
plies more cheaply than by packing
over the present trail the company
will this Summer build wagon road
from the present terminus of the
Swede Basin road to their mine. The
road will have a good grade and be
but seven miles long, the route across
the divide from the head Of the right
fork of Slate creek to the head of
Briggs creek and down that Valley to
the mine.

Aew industry is certain to be inaugu-
0ated is proven by the kind of men
back of it, and Grants Pass will have
a large addition to its payroll and the

plying them with data relative to a
cannery for Grants Pass. Last Win.
ter they induced Glenn Applegate,
manager of the Oregon Packing Com

to Grants Pass and look over the
proposition of a cannery for this place.
So we'll pleased was he that he is now
here actively assisting in organizing a

of himself and the members of the
real estate 6rm above mentioned is
that the securing of stock subscrip-

of success is being had and though
canvassing has besn only done the last
few days yet S2250 has been secured to

The following business men of Grants

the community by taking stock in it
to the amount opposite their n ames:

D. A. Cords, owner of the Pine
Needle Factory in this city. writes
to the Courier that his dwelling house
in San Francisco was all but destroyed
by the recent great earthquake in that
city. but the wreck escaped the flames
though all the buildings on the oppo-
site side of the street were burned.
He aud Mrs. Cords succeeded in get
ting to the street with no serious in
jury to themselves, but Mr.. Cords
writes that it was only through much
difficulty and personal danger was he
able TO rescue their dogs. When all
were safe, they took few of their
things and their dogs and for two
days and two nights were wanderers
fleeing before the on-rushing flames to
a place of safety. They are now re-
siding at Fruitvale until their home
in San Francisco can be rebuilt.

though will prefer not to camp and
for these there will be ample accom-
modations at the four large hotels in
Grants Pass, together with the score
of lodging houses Many will also
be kept at private residences and the
COMMITTEES having the caring for the
visitors in charge, desires to secure a
list of al places that will eitler sup
ply beds or meals to the visitors. As
is the rule at encampments free fuel,
straw for bedding and hot soup and
coffee will be supplied the campers.
There will be public exercises each
day and evening. A number of the
most prominent men of Oregon will
make addresses among them Governor

features will add much to the pro-
gram. The Medford Band, which is

and the famous fife aud drum corps of
Ashland made up of four old army
musicians will give martial air to
the camp,
The business streets of Grants Pass
and the grounds will be artistically
decorated by professionals at that
business. This work will be done by
Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Dynes of San
Francisco, who bring with them a
large quantity of flags, bunting, en-
blems, portraits, etc. The business
men of Grants Pass are cooperating
heartily with the local q. A. r. and
W. r. G. in the work of making
every preparation complete that it
may be said that this the first state
encampment held in Southern Ore
gon was as fine success as any ever
heretofore held in Oregon

New Brick Jail Now Completed
With Cells for IL Prisoners
Hos Bath Room.

Jospehine county's new brick Jail
is now fully equipped with steel cells
and accommodations oan now ba had
by crowding for 10 prisoners. This
larger Jail and increase of cells had
become necessity by reason of
crowded condition of the little old
frame Jail. While Josephine county
criminal records show very few cases
of crime by permanent residents yet
each term Of ooart has on the docket
from two to 10 criminal charges
against persons and nearly all are
transient residents, usually hobos.
These hobos will not work so they live
by stealing and begging and do not
stop at the commission of any crime
no matter how henious SO long as it
enables them to crafty their wants
and lusts. These hobos are constantly
passing through Kogue River Valley
along the line Of the Southern Pacific.
but their greatest migrations take
place in the Spring when they are
heading north and In the Fall when
they are on the way south to spend
the Winter where 1t is warm.
The new Jail has two large rooms
separated by heavy brick walls inolos.
ing wide hallway. At the front of
this is the entrance to the building,
while the rear part is partitioned /.
off for bath room, having large
bath tub, a stove and hot water tank.
This feature In essential al the hobps
are usually reeking in filth and fre-
quently covered with vermin. The
four new cells put in this week are
of light steel and intended only for
ordinary criminals. These cells cost
$2l50 which is but little above the
price paid for the two cells in the
other compartment of the Jail, but
these old cells are'of extra heavy steel
aud would hold the most desperate
criminals.
Josephine county now has a sub.
stantial, commodious Jail that is
we'll appearing structure and which
Will suffice for the needs Of the county
for years to pome.
