NORLING

GOOD
SOUTHERN OREGON
ORE
The mountain of iron recently dis
covered by John Norling, one mile
west of Jacksonville, is all that Mr.
Norling claims. The assayer’s record
show that the ore contained 53% iron
and on Monday a test was made at the
mine when two samples of ore was
melted. Each sample produced a good
showing of iron.
The ledge is several hundred feet
wide and about two miles long, with a
good smelter site and plenty of timber
on the ground.
Requests for samples of ore are com
ing in from all parts of the state, and
Mr. Norling said (hat he could furnish
two car loads of ore to responsible
parties for test purposes. Anyone
who means business and has the finan
ces to handle the proposition can meet
with a business proposition from Mr.
Norling.

MAKING PROGRESS
Now that the Blue Ledge is prepar
ing to open up and prospects of a
smelter being built near this city is
bright, why not take on new life and
improve the city? Jacksonville can
not ask for this trade under the pre
sent conditions. If this company
jRtsrts operations they will build a road
through Jacksonville to connect with
the S. P. and all business will be done
elsewhere. The business is now
freighted through this city. What in
ducement is there for this company to
buy in this city? They can go to Med
ford where they see paved streets,
good sidewalks and an air of progress.
This will win trade every time. Goods
can be had in this city just as cheaply
and in many cases cheaper. The trend
of business will go where invited. We
are not inviting business to Jackson

mer.
Grains, fruits and veg; tables grown
in Alaska will be a feature of the ex
hibit from the Northinn 1 at the Alaska-
Yukon-Pacific exposition next summer.
The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
has appropriated $103,030 for premiums
in tho live stock show to be held in
connection with the 1309 exposition.
The mining exhibit at the Alaska-
Yukon-Pacific exposition in 1909 will
be the most complete mineral display
ever shown at a worlds fair.
In the gold exhibits are three of the
largest nuggets ever found in Alaska.
They were taken from the famous
Pioneer mine at Nome and the total
value of the three is slightly in excess
of $7,000. It is proposed to have the
largest of these three nuggets arrang
ed so that visitors may pick it up and
the big yellow lump will pass through
thousands of hands during the exposi
tion.
The Alaska fair commission has al
ready secured the dust, nuggets and
gold bricks for the display d inti wlia
be arranged in the gold pavilion of the
Alaska building several days in advan
ce of the opening of the exposition on
June 1. A portion of the gold is now
in safety deposit vaults in Seattle.
Every claim and prospect in the four
divisions of Alaska contributed not
less than an ounce of gold to the dis
play and the Seward peninsula, Tan
ana River, Gopper River and South
eastern Alaska districts are all repres
ented. In addition to the gold many
of the mine owners of the Home and
Fairbanks camps will also have sam
ples of pay dirt, gravel bed rock and
black sand. The exhibit will be in ex
cess of two tons of pure gold, just as
it was washed from the ground in the
north.
