THE PEAR AND APPLE CROP.

The apple and pear man has already commenced to
tell us about the prices Of these fruits Professor Oara
says that to sell Bartlett pears for less than $175 or
$500 per box this would be the height Of folly
Another fruit man at Medford makes this statement
Last year we got $157 for fancy Bartetts $156 for
choice Bartetts, and $150 for special This year. in my
opinion the minimum price for choice Raretts will be
$15 and for specials the price will range from 50 to 1926
Coce and Anjou pears should bring from So to $3.50

THE RUSH TO THE MINES.

And still they come, by every train to join the army
which is occupying the hills around the Red Mountain
district There are strikes every few days and many
rich prospects have been opened 1t is very gratifying
to be able to state that those coming into the country
experienced prospecors and miners who understand the
business. The Medford Sun publishes interview with
b. f. Forbes who has just returned from the district in
question. He says:
"It is wonderful, marvellous country have never
seen anything like it before"
Ihe rich finds there are source of great wonder.

and understands the mineral district of Josephine and
