ASHLAND is PATRIOTIC

Any doubt as to Ashland's patrio-
tism has been removed. This city
will be practically depleted of young
unmarried men when the 1st com
pany is called into service. Already
probably fifty who make Ashland
their home have enlisted in other
branches. And the men and women
who are unable to fight are show
ing an equally ready response to
the demands which are being made
upon them. The Liberty bond allot-
ment CT this city was over-subscribed
$11.550 and indications point toward
a Red Cross donation from Ashland
which will surpass even the fondest
hopes of those at the head of the
work.
To us the most gratifying feature
of the response has been the 1--WE are
ready" spirit which has met the COM
mittees. In practically every instance
the response has been greater than
the amount asked and the workers
have been met with open checkbook
instead of an unresponsive attitude.
Ashland is patriotic and will be
Just as ready for the demands of the
future.

Ole
Peoples Forum,
Quicksilver In Jackson County
(By Alyah %. Kellogg)


For many years Jackson county has
been producing in crude manner
quicksilver for local consumption.
Now that this metal is absolutely
essential in the manufacture of flum-
mating caps for explosives the war
prices have been an impetus to in
crease the production Of this metal,
and the deposits in this region are
now sought to increase the supply. In
view of the fact that substitute for
the metal in the manufacture of am
munition is nearly out Of the ques
tion, the demand and high prices will
rule during the war. Then there is
chance that the demand and remun-
erative prices will prevail after the
conflict is over, as the metal is much
used in the arts. At any rate, it
means the permanent development of
the quicksilver industry in this dis
trict
California cince the early history
of the state has produced about 70
per cent of the metal yield of mer-
curry in the United States, right on
the border OF Oregon. Since the new
fields have been ransacked for the
metal it has been demonstrated that

SERVICES ABSOLUTELY FREE,

Many lines of business have been
complimented for the loyal work they
have done in aiding the government
in its great plan of preparedness
Behind this all stands one indus
try without which little could have
been accomplished.
The newspaper made it possible to
spread broadcast over our land in a
single day the appeals of the govern
ment to its citizens in all walks of
life.
The newspapers alone made It pos
sible to explain TO the nation the
plans which permitted the registra-
tion of 100000 names in single
day.
On the newspapers fell the burden
OF advising the public of the details
Of the Liberty bonds and educating
the citizens to purchase these securi-
ties.
On the newspapers falls the work
Of informing the people of the Red
Cross plans to raise 100000, 900 in
the United States.
All Of this work is done freely,
cheerfully and without pay.
Publishers are probably the only
class of men who as a whole are fur
nishing their services free to the gov
ernment.
Is there any other line of business
exhibiting the same class of patriot
ism? Now is the time to give the
publisher credit and not after he is
dead.

the mercury zone extended from the
borders of California into Oregon,
and discloses large and rich deposits
Of the metal, which expert and gov
ernment reports show outclass any
thing yet discovered in the United
States.
The history of quicksilver in Jack
son county dates back to the year
1878, when an early settler in the
Rogue river valley, discovered Gin
nabar ore in the Meadows district,
IL miles north of Gold Hill. From
that time up to 1900 when the dis
coverer sold his claim he and others
annually distilled mercury from the
cinnabar by roasting it in a crude
open furnace. They recovered less
than so per cent by this treatment,
which they disposed of to the local
miners, who used It in their sluice
boxes to recover the flour gold. The
new owner Of this valuable deposit
let the property lie idle until ex-
perts sought the metal in this dis
trict when he, two years ago, en-
ployed H. A. Ray and G. L. Haff
of Gold Hill, the discovers of schee-
lite in this district, to exploit and
develop the property. They exposed
the vein at intervals by audits for
1000 feet, attaining depth on the
vein Of rs feet in several places.
Since that time all available space
on the extention of the vein has been
located on, one corporation now con-
trolls a group of 35 claims CONTIGUOUS
to this property, which they are de-
veloping.
This vein is at an elevation Of
$500 feet, occurring along a granite
sandstone contract, Wnefe the gran
ite is in part pegmatitic. The miner
allied zone is from 100 to 200 feet
wide. 1t is not a we'll defined vein,
but is mineralized along an irregu-
lar contact, with many faults in the
vein. The ore or mass, contains Gin
gold, zinc, silver and a heavy black
mineral resembling -cinnabarite.
Samples taken from all the audits
on this mass assay from S. to Sc
per ton in gold, s. in silver, 2 u per
cent zinc. and / per cent mercury.

THE DRAFT SLACKERS

Latest figures of registration in
dicate that at least a million men
liable to military service have failed
to give in their names. \
During the Civil war many men
slipped over the line into Canada.
Some will do 1t now, and claim ex-
emption there from the prospective
conscription act, on the ground that
they are American citizens.
The tramp and criminal class will
be rounded up with great difficulty.
If questioned, they will always be
over 81 years of age. Fellows of this
type would never register unless
dragged up by the collar and then
they would give fictitious names.
They are not fearful of jail sentences
and find them handy in cold weather
at.least.
There are some men who as a re-
suit Of low mentality never do the
normal and manly things. They have
lodged law and citizenship for years
and think they can do it in this in
stance. They will find fooling with
United States officers is something
of different proposition than deal
ing with local politicians.
Tt is up to good citizens to keep
watch Of characters supposed to be
slippery, and inquire If they have
registered Most of these would say
they had, thinking that people would
not bother to confirm their state
ments. But II may be useful to let
them know they are watched. En-
ployers should inquire of unknown
applicants for work If they have reg
istered, and their statements should
he verified. A man who will dodge
his duty to government. will be of
little use to his employer. Also en-
ployers should see that alien help
understand the requirement. There
are no doubt some who do not yet
know about 1t. A good many hun
dred Thousands more names can be
rounded up. There is an element
too worthless to bother with, who
would only be a drag on an army.

ing and foot walls in the form of
seams and kidneys. The seams are
from to 20 inches thick and average
II per cent mercury. Last year the
owner of this mine employed two
miners in developing and during their
employment they retorted and ship
ped 500 pounds of mercury from
these seams using bench of three
6-inch retorts four feet long, While
several miners on an adjoining claim
retorted and shipped 1900 pounds,
using the same process.
Such is the description as to for
nation and contents which apply to
the vast mercury producing dyke,
which extends from California into
and through Jackson Josephine and
adjoining counties on the north. This
dyke makes its first appearance in
Oregon in the bedrock Of the "49"
diggings four miles northwest of Ash
land, but the extent of the deposit at
this point is unknown, there 1t is in
a calcite vein, These dykes which
are very faulty, appear as laterals
from the main strike on the west in
the Applegate district, extending on
down into Josephine county and on
the east in the Butte creek country.
The main vein makes 1t next ap-
pearance striking north in the above
described Meadows district, with a
recent discovery directly north over
the Umpqua mountains in Douglas
county, few miles from Tiller post
office in new settlement in the
mountains.

Mostly About Policemen and Thingi

Mostly About Policemen and Things.
No more of this corner cutting for
the festive joyrider. Keep to the
right" will become necessary. Ash
land is to have husky iron policemen
at the corners. 1t is a great idea
and has many features which recon-
mend it. If an auto runs into an iron
post 1t doesn't make half the bloody
mess in the street that it would if II
ran into live policeman-es especially
as big one as Chief Atterbury or
some of the huskies he has lined up
to act as specials on the Fourth. The
iron post would put up husky resist
ance if attacked.
Iron policemen could be used in
many other ways now that we come
to consider the matter.
You could not bribe an iron police
man. Bullets would have no affect
on him.
Every store in town could have an
iron policeman at the front and back
door to keep the burglars away.
Same principle as scarecrow.
Ashland could boast "the healthi-
est police force in the world, every
one having an iron constitution"

have a husky strangers word for 1t.

stranger, attired in overalls and cow
boy hat, pestering around down at

and observing everything that went
on in most suspicious manner.
Chief A. watched him for some time
and kept growing more suspicious of
his strange actions. Finally he de-
cided that he was here for no good
purpose and grabbed him.
"I'm going to search you," stated
Chief A.
"You amt got no right to search
me-" said the stranger.
"I'm going TO do it just the same"
replied Chief A.

him, the stranger remarked: "By
