one of these, as he must locate as he
nnds his ledge and lengthwise of the
vein, and he cannot survey as it costs
TOO much and he has more thai his
snare OF new mining districts ex.
pense to bear, and therefore wou ID
make bad matter worse, there are
very few claims located but what the
parties making the location, know tile
number of section and great msny
the quarter section and that should
justify the state in protecting his
claim against all entries as long as
ne complied with all mining laws.
There is much that should be said
about timber for mining purposes,
when we look at the U. S. Forest ser.
vice and see the vast amount of tim.
ber consumed in the mines of the
United States.
! VI course we have not given the
second thought about timber as We
have plenty and are allowed to cut
mining timber on unoccupied lands.
But after We have let the timber men
hem US in on all sides and our claims
do not produce the required amount
for mining purposes then we will say
what fools we were. Just as we saw
about the railroad grant. Now we
knew that our government gave the
railroads this land, also gave us the
right to protest. But We waited
for the other fellow to do it and as he
was waiting also the mineral land
was not protested, and in few years
we will think the same about the tim.
Der locators as they are getting much
valuable mineral land under the
timber law.
Now is the time to say our say.
We may say withdraw all timber land
from sale for 10 years and give the
miner chance to develop the mineral
resources Of this country as his way
is very hard and takes time. / would
like to hear from others that are en-
terested in protection of the peoples

name to the first petition.
Will some one kindly frame one that
will protect those that do abide by
state and United States laws.

LARGE COUGAR KILLED
NEAR HOLLAND
Old Timer Run Down and Killed
by Hunters Of Sucker
Crock.

An old cougar that has been rang
ing for years near the Head Of Bear
creek and Kelly creek, which empty
into into Sucker creek near Holland.
was killed last Wednesday by Tmo
Tyoer, Ed Tycer and Job White, after
hard chase and ferocious fight in
which the old fellow tried hard to
hold his own, but had to give in to
big odds and Winchester rifles in the
hands of No. shots. The boys struck
his trail early in the morning, but
unfortunately one Of their best dogs
had run off after deer and as they
only had small shepherd left, they
decided to follow the track until the
other dog came back He led them
merry chase over hills, across gulches.
over fallen logs, through brush, back
tracked and tried all kinds of schemes
to throw them of, but to no avail,
there being snow on the ground.
Finally they concluded to turn the
shepherd loose and as good luok would
have 1t, about this time the other dog
returned to them and took up the
trail and soon pat him up tree.
Tom Tycer shot first, putting bullet
into, his shoulder, but 1t failed to do
the work and there was something
doing there in double quick time, rs
he was out of that tree quicker than
you could say scat, and the fight was
on. He made straight for the boys,
who stood their ground and COM
menced to string lead. as one ofthem
said, but not until the seventh shot
did the old fellow give in aud then
from . bullet in the brain.
This is undoubtedly one Of the
largest cougars. that has ever been
killed in this country, weighing,
dressed, 175 pounds. No doubt there
will be some people who can tell Of
larger ones but have killed q great
many myself, as can be attested to BY
numbers of persons in Ashland and
Medford and l can say positively this
is the largest one ever saw. The
boys are highly elated over it and de-
serve the thanks Of the whole commu-
nifty.
Several OF these pests have been seen
in this locality lately and there
should be reward offered by the
state for the scalps. /. IA

LAWS WANTED TO
PROTECT PR0SPECTOR
Conflict of Timber and Mining
Interests Should Receive
Attention.

Editor Courier, A..
Dear Sir: Will you kindly allow me
spate in your valuable paper to ask a
few questions?
LIST. AS this busy world has been
making so many new laws and re-
modelling many old ones and protect
ing so many things, would it not be
\ wise to enact some law that will pro-
tect the prospector Of the Pacific Coast,
q, California, Oregon, Washington.
Idaho and Nevada?
There. is no doubt that the pros
hector is the man that faces all the
hardships Of the undeveloped country.
In fact he is the man that takes the
first steps towards opeuing up new
mining districts. And after he has
yentured out in the uninhabited
places and after months or perhaps
years of untold hardships, has made
his location on some promising pros
pect and perchanoe has exhausted his
money supply and must hunt older
fields to renew his stock in grub, and
after months of daily toll he returns
to continue his developments and finds
someone has located timber claim
over his mineral ground and has
patent for same from the government.
Now, kind friends, each OF these men
have complied with the laws of our
land, but one must lose his time and
work or the other his money. 1t is
a quite frequent case where theIpros-
pector has done years of assessment
work, fled his statement each year Of
his annual work with clerk of mining
records and he must watch the papers
at all times or his claim will..be taken
from him by some timber entry.
Now this is not right, for the pros
pector must do his 800 worth of work
each year for each claim and after he
has complied with all mining laws he
has no protection by them, but must
watch at all times. He may protest
one timber entry and in 30 days il
someone tries the timber claim act
again he must protest again or his
claim is gone.
Now say, let us protect those that
do abide by our laws. 1t can be done
and Save much ;time, monsy ..and
trouble. Say we petition congress to
enact a law causing all parties or
agents holding mining i.clsims to do
their 800 yearly assessment work be-
tween January 1st and December 31st
of each year, make an affidavit that
their work was done in the prescribed
time and file it with the clerk of min
ing records said clerk to make copy
thereof and file said copy with re-
ceiver at U. s. Land office wherein
land is located. This to be done each
year and as long rs this is done it
shall act as a protest against the en-
tering of said land for other purpose
should anyone insist upon location OF
land within section which embraces
the said mineral location.
Then party of second part shall sur
vey said land to determine location of
mining claims. Now this will pro-
tect both miner aud timber man alike
as it will save the miner from always
protesting and save the timber man
his entry fees. The true citizen can
readily see the necessity of some such
law.
No doubt there are some that will
say this cannot be done as we would
have to locate by legal subdivision
and survey.
Now the prospector can do neither
