MINING DEVELOPMENT IN
PROSPECT.

There is no mistaking the signs OF
the times. Southern Oregon is just
on the eve of great awakening OF
mining interests. A number Of i'm
portant deals have already been con-
summated and others Of even greater
magnitude are approaching final ac-
tion. The mine has been a main fac
tor in the upbuilding OF this district.
Southern Oregon was first settled in
the days Immediately after the rush
OF the '49ers to California, and Jose
phine and Jackson counties yielded
many millions of dollars in placer
gold. there being creek beds that have
produced at the rate of million dol
lars per mile. After the easier work.
ed of this placer ground had been
gone over there was a period when
the mining business was at stand
still, some mines always working, but
little being done with the quartz and
deep mine propositions. Placer
ground was worked over, and with
improved methods OF mining much
ground that was passed over in the
earlier days became valuable. Now
copper is attracting attention equally
with gold, and these are having to
divide honors with metals that had
been strangers to the prospector here
tofore. Today the hills are being
hunted over by the man with the pick
to whom the copper, gold, iron, tung-
sten, platinum, and numerous other
metals are the attraction. Chrome
iron ore that has been untouched Is
now being gotten out for shipment,
and recent discoveries OF vast depos-
It's Of iron ore may prove OF greatest
value. Capital from the outside Is
being brought to the district, and
during the past six months more men
OF experience and standing In the
mining world have visited the district
than had been here for many decades

BRYAN SENDS CONGRATULA
TONS

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10, 1916.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President,
Washington, D. G.
The returns are now so nearly COM
plete that I shall not longer deny my
self the pleasure of extending to you
heartiest congratulation upon your
for the success of your second term.
Am proud of the west-including Me-
braska. The. states beyond the Mis-
souri, have rallied to your support and
saved the day, and in doing so have
honored themselves no less than you.
They have been largely benefited by
the great reforms secured under your
leadership, and they stand with you
for peace, prosperity and progress.

WORK YOU ENJOY IS LESS TIR1NG

WORK YOU ENJOY IS LESS TIR1N0
There is helpful article in the De-
cember American Magazine about get
ting tired and resting up. The writer
says:
'tThe practical application of my
illustration is this: if you have a JOB
you really like, job which commands
your whole soul, you will work at it
with less fatigue than if you are dis"
satisfied with your lot. This is why
the clock watcher, the chap who works
only because he must work, is usually
more tired at the days end than the
fellow clerk who has real interest
in what he is doing.
"Moreover, if circumstances have
forced you into work which is not
congenial, you will find that efficiency
can be aided and fatigue STAYED off IT
you will let your mind dwell on those
features Of the work which you like
best.''

THE TRIUMPH OF DEMO CRAOY /
It is the free west that elected
Woodrow Wilson. In those states Of
the Union where the doctrines of prog
gress and reform, of respect for popu-
lar rights. has won most acceptance
from all parties, the democratic ma
t;onal ticket found it's salvation.
The campaign, it was hoped, would
be a contest on high ground, an ex-
position Of principles on which Amer
lean citizens could legitimately differ.
Instead of that, was witnessed cam
paign of abuse, an appeal to every
prejudice, return to long discarded
methods of other days. The republic
can: candidate was indeed 100 per
cent candidate but failed to convince
the people that he would be a 100 per
cent president. It was apparent mat
the old guard Of reactionaries and stall
warts was again in control of the re-
publican party. They did succeed n
letting their old stronghold, but they
did not realize that there were Amer1-
cans beyond the Mississippi.
The record Of the democratic party
was a constructive one. It had shown
itself capable Of framing wise and
beneficial legislation. Its leadership
was patriotic. And upon that legisla.
ton and leadership the people set
their approval.
Minnesota is a doubtful state from
now on. That is the great achieve
ment of the campaign in this state,
and that in spite Of many discourag-
ing circumstances it was possible to
do this, means much for the demo
cratic party. Its national leadership
has earned and received commentator
from thousands Of republicans: Let it
50 labor that the commentator may
be extended and continued in state as
well as national matters.
The president is reelected: His has
been a hard task, and likely to be
harder still. No one doubts that the
responsibilities will be met with the
same keen vision, high sense of duty,
and great intellectual power, that have
made the present administration
epochal in American history.
