Thrown out onto the horee’a back and then under ita feet, Mr«. C. I.. Churchill rleaped yralerday afternoon from a dangeroua predicament with only alight injurlea conaidering the eif- rumetaneea.

Mra. Churchill and Gerald Counts, atxteen-yrar-old ton of Mr. Counts, of Churchill A Counts, were in the buggy, when the mare, which ia a high alrung one, became unmanageable. Mr*. Churchill grabbed the linea with the boy, but the two were unable to get the hone under control and when othera tried to aaaiat the horse became more untractable. Finally the Coanta I my got out of the rig, but Mn. Churrhill remained in the buggy unlit it collided with another occupied by Mn. Clark o f Latham, taking otf a wheel. Mn. Churchill w im thrown out unto the back o f the hone and then fell under t ie feet o f the animal. For­tunately the hone then came to a aland atill and thia alone probably aaved Mra. Churrhill from death.

She fell heavily onts one hand ami the tlngen were disjointed. Her aide waa alao quite painfully injured.

The value of a paper’s advertiaing ia gauged by the number o f people it reaches. No other paper reaches more than a quarter a* many Cottage Grove people as does The Sentinel.

QUARTZ RUNS AS HIGH AS $100 PER TON

F. B. Shortrldge Enthusiastic over Prospects of John Brown Mine

in Dougins County.

Gold quarts running from $20 to $100 a ton haa been exposed by F. B. Short- ridge o f Cottage Grove at the John Brown mine in Douglas County, on the south extension of Green Mountain near Glendale, which he ia developing. Mr. Shortridge wss in the eity over Sunday and is very enthusiastic over the prospects o f the mine.

The creek bed below the Brown mine has been mined for placer gold for a distance o f several miles. Many thou­sands o f dollars have been taken out in this way and the quartz ledge is the mother lode. No gold has been found above.

Thera are some fifteen or twenty other claims surrounding the 20-scre tract owned by Mr. Brown.

Several drifts into the mountain re­veal the great extent o f the ledges and the other prospects in the vicinity show the richness of the mine and the vast ■mount o f work that esn be done there.

Mr. Shortridge believes the estab­lishment of ■ five-stamp mill on the property would make it ■ richly paying proposttln. _____________

A few days ago contract« were let at Medford for the construction o f a $40,000 pre-eoollng and storage plant, the contract calling for ita completion by the 16th o f August, in time for the first shipment o f pears.

Painless Tom and his brother Harry have one o f the finest places in the mountains. They have ■ five room log house, with running hot and cold water ■nd bath. Water is also piped to the barn and garden—and this latter is the finest in the district. Corn, lettuce, tomatoes, beans and potatoes grow luxuriantly and the miners of the dis­trict make more demands on the garden than it can supply. Harry sold over a ton o f potatoes last year. The Parker brothers hope in a year or so to raise enough garden truck to supply the whole district, which will be nearly os good as a gold mine—and they have some pretty good properties o f this kind also. •

While up there for a couple weeks, visit Tom undertook to install a water tank. Me had it about completed and
