GRANT'S PASS, March 7. (Special cor respondence) It was always intended and ever anticipated by residents here that Grant's Pass should become a large and important city. The very plattins of the original townsite proves this to be a fact. Look at the town plat and you will see that a strip of land about 200 feet wide extends all around it. This is now called "Boundary addition," but was intended originally to cause all persons platting additions to Grant's Pass to buy street right-of-way through it. and thus make money for the owners. The plan was en tirely successful and there are addition? to Grant's Pass on all sides of the orig inal town, and, the streets connect la a regular manner:' The spirit manifested by the founders of the town was so aggressive that the results -were apparent before the very eyes of the people, and this has encour aged them to keep on in the same course, and as a consequence there is not a town In Oregon today, of no more than 3000 people, which has been systematically advertised any better than Grant's Pass, and because the people here find it pays, they are keeping at It. The town Is grow ing end new business houses and resi dences are going up or are projected. There Is no particular excitement here among the people locally, but strangers and investors are coming In by the score. At one of the leading hotels guests were turned away the night I arrived and the hotel business is booming. There are an abundanace of eating places In Grant's Pass, but if more lodging houses were built they would nil an urgent, wanu A Mlnlns: Center. Grant's Pass Is almost the exact cen ter of the mining district of Southern Oregon, extending as far north as the county line near Lelind; as far south as the California line in Josephine county; as far west as the Illinois river, almost to Currv county: and as far east as the headwaters of Rogue River, In Jackson county. Is all mining territory. Grant's Pass has mido the claim to be the "mining center" of Southern Oregon fo long that the claim Is now conceeded and is reaping the reward. The very enr.ourn cine renorts of new prospects being found, and the old mines being more productive than ever, is making the name "a mining center" very valua ble commercially. You can meet mining men at the hotels from all points of the compass, about Grant's Pass. One will tell you: "I am In from a gold ledge, with granite wans on Elk creek, a tributary of Rogue river:" another will say: "I am from the Ray mine near Gold Hill;" another l am from the rich mines on Gale's Creek"; an other: "I am from the Champion mine on Williams creek:" another. "I am from Meredith's placer mine on the Illinois River": another: "I am from the old Channel placers on Galice Creek": an other: "I am from the Gold Bug mine on Mount Reuben"; another: "I am from the Greenback mine on Grave Creek"; another: "I am from the Granite Hill mines on Louise Creek"; another: "I am from the placer mines on Pleasant Creek." These are only a few of the mines around Grant's Pass. The mining men assemble here and com pare notes, trade and traffic and frater nize together, and they spend their money In Grant's Pass, and the result Is beneficial financially to those residing here. Resources Beside Mining. Grant's Pass has other resources which add to her prosperity, but they do not take the lead, as does mining. The rais ing of fruit could bo made a great busi ness, but very few new orchards have been set out during the past five years. Those which were here and came into bearing about five years ago have been profitable to their owners, but in order to increase the acreage in fruit requires large sums of local capital. I asked a banker a few days ago how a certain large fruitgrower had come out on hLs apple farm, and he said: "His orchard has made him rich. Rogue River apples have become known far and wide for their fine flavor and su perior quality, and there are also peaches and prunes and pears. About 30 carloads of apples were shipped from here last year. This is quite a water-melon dls. trlct, and 23 carloads of melons were shipped. Hops do well here, and there are several yards In the Valley. Lumber ing is also of some considerable Import ance, there being a box factory here em ploying about 00 hands, which consumes several million feet of sugar pine lumber. which Is sold in all the fruit districts of the Pacific Coast Mills sawing eugar pine Into lumber are scattered over the county and now number about 25, which supply the local demand for fir lumber and contract to the Sugar Pine Door & Lumber Company their product of sugar pine. The total number of cars last year of box stun from Grant's Pass was 15S. and of lumber 135 cars. Another industry which gives employment to quite a num ber of men Is the shipment by the South ern Pacific Company of several thousand carloads a year of white coarse sand called "granite." which Is being used about depot grounds of the company, also for walks In city yards, and Is sold com mercially as a "grit" for chickens. An average of ten carloads Is shipped out dally. As I have already said, thlr Is a mining country, and the fortunes of the future nro to be made here In that industry- A great deal of blasting powder Is used in mining, and the amount of powder shipped in la a fair index of the activity of the mines. Two years ago the total shipments into Grant's Pass of powder was about t0,000 pounds, while last year the amount, as given me by Agent Justin, of the Southern Pacific, was 75,000 pounds, show ing an increased activity of 50 per cent Both placer and quartz mines are being worked more systematically and on a larger ecale. and large sums of money are being invested. Water and power are needed in the mines, and various plans have been engineered for furnishing these two necessary adjuncts. Developing "Water Powers. Rogue River flows through the valley past Grant's Pass, and being a rapid stream and having a large flow of water It has a capacity for the development of many thousands of horse-power. A power dam is being constructed near Gold Hill. and another about four miles up the river above Grant s Pass. In this letter I shall say nothing about the power dam in course of construction at Gold Hill, but speak of it in some later article. Just about where the county line be tween Josephine and Jackson Counties crosses Rogue River is an immense de posit cf a peculiar formation resembling granite sand, but full of small quartz seams, which all contain gold and which are mined by sluicing. For many years the gold has been known to be there, but ! the supply of water lasted during even the rainy season only from 10 to SO days, hence the name was given to this prop erty of nearly 1000 acres, "the do dig gings." Some wealthy people of Chicago heard of this property and last year sent out an expert mining man and engineer, who reported favorably, and a purchase was made. To obtain an adequate and abundant supply of water, a dam for power was commenced across Rogue River near this placer property, and last year the foundation of the dam was laid and several bents of the completed dam finished, and next year will see it com pleted. The local management of this en terprise is in the hands of M. C Ament. The first purpose of this dam was to de velop power for pumping water to sluice the gravel up the hill in the dry diggings placers, but the plans now include the Installing of 12 waterwheels with a horse power of 600 each and not only pumping water for washing out the gold, but also furnishing power to be electrified for vari ous purposes, and also pump water for Ir rigating about 15,000 acres of land on the north and south sides of Rogue River ex tending down stream about a dozen miles. This dam will have an elevation of about 20 feet, will be 760 feet long and be 120 feet wide on the bottom, and has been in course of construction since .June? 1S02, since which time from 40 to 80 men have been working and over LOOO.000 feet of lumber has been used. There "will be 12 waterwheels of 57 inches each in diam eter, and the combined horsepower will be about 7200. This company now owns about 2000 acres of placer ground. It Is to be hoped this power dam will prove a financial success even outside the placer mines, as there are opportunities for duplicating this power dam several times on Rogue River, this being of great bene fit to this section of Oregon. In the space allowed me for this article I cannot go into details on the many and varied resources adjacent to Grants Pass. There are immense deposits of au riferous gravel to describe; large dikes of gold and copper-bearing rock to examine; there are caves under the earth miles in extent, not yet fully explored; there are ledges of marble and limestone not being worked: there are mineral springs not being visited by the sick; there are bodies of timber not being manufactured; there are tracts of land very suitable for the most profitable farming when once water is put on, and yet the moement has just begun toward making such farms. Every one in Josephine County has heard of the Alexander & Bent placer mines on Galice Creek, which have a very fine equipment and a large body of rich gravel. This mine has been more suc cessfully worked than ever during the past three years, being managed by J. W. Harvey, recently of Chicago, and the mines now belonging to a new company, known as the Old Channel Mining Com pany. The clean-up of this mine has been from ".50,000 to $55,000 a year. It may not be so generally known that large placer interests have lately been acquired ad joining this property by Portland parties. and another large gold-producer developed. I refer to the Cousins placers, on Galice Creek, which are now being developed and equipped. The very profitable work ing of adjoining properties Is greatly. In favor of this enterprise, which is backed by Oregon capital, the directors being A B. Cousin, George E. waggoner. Dr. R. E. Yenney, Dr. E. E. Cable, John B David, J. A Wilson, J. P. Bronough, H. D. Gradon, Dr. Joseph Hlckey, and H. J. Hefty, all of Portland. For the 1005 Centennial. I was struck with the suggestion of Schiller Hermann, of Myrtle Point, who has already commenced saving nuggets from his placer claim in Coos County, and proposes placing them on exhibition at the 190o Fair; and Mr. Henry Ankeny, of the Sterling mine, near Jacksonvlle, Jackson County, will also be prepared to exhibit several hundred ounces of gold nuggets at the Fair. Why could not every hydraulic miner in Oregon save the nug gets from now until the Fair, and by unltlng these collections have an Immense exhibit of gold nuggets? This would be a very Interesting and valuable display. Among the most Imposing buildings now in course of erection in Grant's Pass is the Masonic building, a three-story brick, which will be completed this month, the total cost being about $16,000. The third floor wlil be entirely devoted to the lodges, and banqueting-room, library, etc; while the second floor will be offices, and first floor stores, every room having been rented before the building was completed The contractors, Hubbard & Day and Barnbart & Lackins, Informed me that the prospects for a renewed activity in building operations In Grant's Pass were very bright for the coming year, and houses for rent are in active demand. A stranger coming into Grant's Pass cannot at first understand where the town gets its backing, as there is no country immediately tributary; but the country is so extensive, and the mining Industry be .lng all centered here, it takes only a small amount of trade from each point in the aggregate to amount to a very considerable amount, and men in business have done very well in Grant's Pass. Tho proposed railroad from Grant's Pass to the Waldo copper district, about B0 miles south, and thence to Crescent City, in California, created quite a stir in real estate here, one man raising the price of his town lot from $800 to $2000 it anticipation of the building of the road. I have been unable to learn to a cer tainty that the road -will be built; but the surveyors have located the road, and rights of way have been secured. Its completion would give an outlet to the copper mines, and be of great benefit to that section of country. What Is delaying construction is possibly the timidity of capital to invest money In an enterprise which may not give adequate returns. I have more faith In a coast railroad being built before these various crossroads, which could then follow, and would pay. The building of a coast railroad would open up a section of country rich In nat ural resources and now almost Isolated. There are many good reasons why the Southern Pacific would build a coast road, and If It should undertake it the road would be quickly and substantially constructed. E. C. P. DOLPHIN RESCUED CUBANS Sndden Squall In Havana Harbor- Arrival of BrltiHh. HAVANA. March 15. While the Secre tary of the Navy, Mr. Moody, and his party were making a visit on shore this afternoon a squall of tremendous violence swept over the harbor. It became as dark as night and the wind and the downpour were terrific Commander Stoney, of the Dolphin, realizing the peril i to the small boats In the harbor, called for volunteer rescuers. The entire crew of the Dolphin responded. Boats were instantly manned and sent out The launch returned with tour half-drowned Cubans and the captain's gig was lifted aboard with another apparently lifeless, who was later resuscitated. The cour age and heroic action on the part of the Americans were especially commended, as the British ships did not rise to the emerg ency, although one of the capsized boats was much nearer to the Ariadne than to the Dolphin. Secretary Moody tomorrow will summon the Dolphin's crew and commend them for their presence of mind. Up to tonight it is known that five men, all Cubans, were drowned by the capsizing of boats during tho squall. The arrival of the British squadron, con sisting of the warships Ariadne. Indefatig able. Retribution. Tribune. Fantone and Columbine, this morning from Kingston, Jamaica, gave the harbor a naval aspect The morning was occupied with exchanges of salutes and calls. The Dolphin saluted Vlce-Admlral Douglas with 15 guns. Vice-Admifal Douglas and the com manders of the British warships visited the Dolphin and paid their respects to Mr. Moody. The Secretary returned the visit at once. Thirteen guns were fired by the Dolphin In honor of a call on Mr. Moody by Gen eral Rodriguez, the commander of the Cuban army. Secretary Moody and party dined today with Minister Squlers. They will pay visits to President Palma and the mem bers of his Cabinet tomorrow. On Tues day they will proceed to Banla Honda, and on returning to Havana will go to Santiago by rail and return to the Dolphin. All looked over the site for the naval station and the general situation at Guan tanamo. Dr. Webb in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, March 15. Dr. W. Seward Webb, of New York, has arrived hero unexpectedly from Southern Cali fornia. He was suffering from an at tack of the gout and came to this city to lay up for a fey days. The first life insurance society was started in London in 169$, and another In 1705. Neither was successful. MR. SHIELDS RETURNS TELLS OF WAR WAGIXG BETWEEN THEATRICAL TRUSTS. Say IraBiiffratlon Bureau In Chi cago Has Sent Six Ilandred Set tlers to Oregon In February. Edward Shields. Portland's well-known park -manager, returned yesterday from an extended three, months' trip to the East- He left Chicago two weeks ago, and came home via 'New Orleans and South ern California. Most of his absence was spent in Chicago, where he did great work for the Pacific Northwest with his Illus trated talk. "Where Rolls the Oregon." which he gave in the schools for the Chi cago Dally News. Mr. Shields speaks in glowing terms of the work the Harriman Immigration Bu reau is doing under the direction of G. "iroTTtnnpv Thor Ken nvpr frt nwi. pie Into Oregon alone In the last half of ; February, and they expect a much larger movement Una month and In April. Mr. Shields was in a talkative mood last REAPPOINTED POSTMASTER AT ONTARIO, OREGON. Hon. A. L. Spronl. evening, and when asked about the the atrical situation and about his future plans he said: "Well, I am back-at home, to be very much In the theatrical business thle Sum mer. Before I left for the East several of the slx-show-a-day houses up In the cities of Washington wanted me to Join them in a vaudeville circuit, but they wanted all the concessions, and I didn't care to play sucker to them. The result has been that as ooon as my back was turned a circuit was formed to freeze me out. But my representatives here kept me posted, and I have booked SO acts during the time I was East, and I also arranged with Martin Beck, general manager of the big Orpheum Circuit, to furnish me with acts, so Shields' Park will present all new faces this season, and Portland will not be the only city with a Shields' Park." Mr. Shields presents a different view of the war between the theatrical trusts from that which has been published be fore. Among other things ho said: "These theatrical wars are an old story In the East Harrison Flekg, editor of the Dramatic Mirror and husband and manager of Mrs. FIske, has waged a merciless war against the Klaw & Er langer circuit for several years, and other stars have been supporting him and Mrs. FIske In tho fight, until now the 'Inde pendents' claim they can give an outlaw or Independent house 40 weeks of attrac tions, which will Include Mrs. Fiske. Hen rietta Croasman, James Hackett and others. "Stair & Havlln are known as the popular-priced trust During the last year the latter firm has secured control of ten of the leading theaters in different parts of the country. Including the New Ma jestic, in Boston, and the Grand in Chi cago. It Is their Intention to play high class attractions In opposition to Klaw & Erlanger, and war clouds are very threat ening at present It will be a good thing for theatricals, and especially for the public. If a bitter war is waged. It Is an open secret that theatricals nave de teriorated In the past ten years, and there Is not a score of productions worth one half the exorbitant price of admission de manded from the public. It is not only so with "the so-called high-class productions, but also with the popular-priced plays, Tn P.hlrflirn. fnr Instance Rtnlr X- TTnv- lln i-otnnnd thft first SSOO. and then riliHi! with the companies, and what is the re - suit? High-salaried companies cannot stand the pressure, and the dates are filled with organizations that contain neither merit nor talent "The higher class theaters are filled with sensational and Immoral plays, and with choruses whose main mission Is to dis play fancy hosiery, bad shapes and worse voices. "To my way of thinking, the success of the drama depends upon the stock com panies, and even the old plays, like 'The Two Orphans,' 'My Pardner,' etc., have a homely story that Is refreshing to the 'la-da-dah' conglomerations of the present There Is not an established stock com pany In the country that is not making money. "And talking about stock companies. I saw Ralph Stuart and company play 'Prince Otto In Los Angeles, and It was a great production. Stuart told me that he Is coming to the Baker in April. Stu art Is popular all over the country, both as an actor and a good fellow. "One of the most laughable productions I ever saw was 'Tracy the .Outlaw.' It Is being played over Stair & Havlln's East ern circuit and Is coining money. The first act is laid in Portland, and Tracy was made a hero and victim of, circum stances all through the play. The first scene shows Tracy's home, and tells how happy he was because he had a good rail road job and intended to lead an upright life. Just about that time a messenger arrives on the scene to inform, him he lost his position for absenting himself from duty. The message did. not say what road It was. but I came to the con clusion that it was the Terminal Company, and that Ed Lyons had caught him at a ball game. The second scene was the holding up of the train, and what hurt my feelings worst of all was to see Sher iff Cudlhee come over all the way from Seattle to capture Tracy and Merrill and rob Dan Welner and the butcher boy of having their names appear on the bill among the 'also rans. "The escape from Salem was a sensa tional affair, and I fell off the seat when Tracy told his pals In the mountain pass that he jumped from the prison wall Into the Columbia River and swam six miles to a place of safety. The finish was a touching affair. The wheat field stage setting was really quite pretty and ef fective, but of course the real story was horribly twisted to fit the climax of the play. After Tracy was wounded a provl dential tramp happened along. Tracy killed him. then Monte Cristoed the scene and fled, leaving the dead tramp in . his place. The gallery gods yelled their approval, the curtain rang down and the nightmare was over." ChicHKO Defeated Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES. CaL. March 13. The Chicago National League team defeated the Los Angeles Club, of the Pacific Coast League, today by a score of 7 to 6. Ten Innings were played. Selee tried out three of his pitchers, Taylor.

The East ern infield -was In good trim, and Kling and Raube each caught five innings for Selee's side, doing good work. Attend ance. 5000. CACAO IS A GOOD CROP. Thrives in the Philippines and Might Elsevrhere. " WASHINGTON, March 15. The Bureau of Insular Affairs, War Department, has received from the Philippine Bureau of Agriculture a bulletin on cacao culture In the Philippine Islands. The bulletin says: "The cacao grown In the Philippines is of such excellent quality that there is keen rivalry among buyers to procure it at an advance of 50 per cent over the common grades of the Java bean, not withstanding the failure of local growers to 'process or cure the product in any way.

(Spe cial.) A L. Sprmil, recently ap pointed Postmaster at Ontario, is an old-time resident ot Grant and Mal heur Counties, and one of the best Vnown men In. Southeastern Oregon. He received his first appointment as Postmaster three years ago, and when, on October 1. 1002. Ontario was made a third-class office, be failed to file an application for re appointment, and the name ot C. A Martin was sent to the 'Senate for the position, hut his appointment failed of confirmation. The notice of Mr. Martin's ap pointment, riven by the press dls-" patches, was the first intimation Mr. Sproul and the people of Ontario had that an attempt was being made to make a change In the of fice. Telegrams were sent to Sena tor Mitchell and Representative Moody to hold the matter up until Mr. Spioul could be heard. Mr. Mar tin's name was then recalled, and the President reappointed Mr. Sproul. and- his appointment was confirmed March 0. before a peti tion, signed by nearly every patron of the Ontario office, reached Wash ington. 200,000.000 pounds, valued at more than $30,000,000 gold. There is, therefore,- it is said, little danger of overproduction and consequent low prices for many years to come. "So far as known, the areas where cacao prospers In the great equatorial zone are small. Cacao Is cultivated nearly every where In the archipelago. It is grown In several of the provinces of Luzon, in Mindanao, Jolo.'BasIlan. Panaya, Negr03, Cebu, Bohola and Masbate, and Its pres ence can be reasonably predicted upon the larger Islands anywhere under an ele vation of 1000 or probably 1200 meters." AT THE HOTELS.

Demand Is Steadily Decreasing and Present Indications Are That 2G& Cents Marked the Top. People with hops bettor selL .That seems to be the advice of the majority of the dealers in Portland. The lpcal quota tion Is about 25 cents, which Is as high as hops have been for years, and as the de mand for hops is steadily decreasing with the approach of the new season, that price 13 bound to grow weaker every day. Hop selling begins as soon after the picking In September as the grower can get his produce baled and ready for ship ment There are always those who are willing to sell at the current price, and as that price increases or decreases from the September quotation, the selling con tinues. The last season the price increased from the September quotation until It was "worked up in December and January to offers of 25 and 264 cents a pound, and when it is considered that the average production cost Is between 6 and 8 cents. according to the locality, it will be seen that this offer of 264 cents would be prof itable for the farmer. It was such prices as this that offset the weak market of four or five years ago when hops sold for and 6 cents, and there were tons at that price. A high point was reached with the 26 quotations, however. As it stands now. the demand for the produce is growing smaller and smaller, and the few who held on in hopes of 30 cents or there abouts will have to take 25 cents, with a chance of 21 or 20 cents later on. At the nresant time the consumer has all the hops ne wants until the 1903 crop In the Fall. It Is only here or there that a brewer estimated too low for his supply and needs more to fill Gut the season, or that another brewer has enlarged his plant and can take care of a few more bales. It is this small demand that has kept the price to Its present pitch so long, and from appearances at the present time the price is decidedly unsteady, and may fall lower at any time. Speaklng of the hop situation, a local hopman said Sat urday: "Hops, like everything else, have an In trinsic value, and when the price goes be yond this the consumers try to get along with a little less. This Is the condition at the nresent time. Now hoDS are selllmr at 25 cents a pound, and there is no't ncarly the same demand for them there was ear lier In the season, when their brought 1 cents. "There Is no likelihood of their going beyond this figure, and therefore the man who is holding had better sell as fast as he can. If he wants to get the benefit of the high prices. "I do not expect there will be any fall in the price until Just before the- new crop comes in. However, at the same time there Is no chance of there being any bet ter price, and therefore the proper time to sell Is now. In this state there are very few bales In first hands. Almost all the crop of last year has been cleared from Washington. In Oregon there is very lltt"e in first hands, and the dealers have not any great supply. "There is very little loreign demand now.

The home demand Is not so good as It was before the price went skyward. The American breweries are only taking, what they must have. They are not laying In any supply for the future, but ordering from month to month as they need hops. This will be the con dition of the market until the new crop comes in. and If prices are reasonable there will probably be a heavy demand by both local and foreign dealers early In the season. "The outlook in Washington Is that the hop crop for this year will be about onc thlrd greater than It was for 1902. If this turns out to be true. It will be the greatest Increase In the history of the state. I have spent the past few days In the hop sections, and farmers are figuring on in creasing their acreage, until I have based the increased production as stated. In this state there will be about the same Increase, and. therefore If the season turns out well the crop of hops on the Pacific will be the largest there has ever been. Tho incentive for this Increase is the price that has been paid for the last sea son's crop. "There Is no danger of there being any overproduction, or of the increase causing a low price. There Is an increasing de mand for hops in all parts of the coun try, and the Indications are that much of the coming season's yield will be placed. soon after It Is harvested." MAY COME TO MARE ISLAND Admiral Clarlc LiUely to See Active "Work on the Pacific Coast. The many admirers of Admiral Clark, who, as Captain of the famous battleship Oregon, carried ner lo.ww mues to vic tory off Santiago harbor, will be pleased to learn that Secretary Moody, of the Navy Department, will probably place Clark In command of the Mare Island na.vy-yard, California, the most Important naval station on the Pacific Coast and from which Clark first received orders to take the Oregon to the West Indies and rrenare for what might happen. This In formation comes indirectly from Secretary Mitchell, of the Clark testimonial com mittee, who for months has been alert watching everything connected witn tne Admiral and his movements. It is probable that when Clark comes out to the Coast to receive the tribute wmcn the people of Oregon desire to pay him, he will be assigned to his new station. For the past year and a half he has beer the commandant of the Naval Home at .Fnua delDhla. and has chafed somewhat under the humdrum duties. Although well on In years, the old fighter wants ac tive duty, and at ilare island ne .wm have it to his hearts content With the new accessions to the Navy Mare Island will advance to the first rank, especially as the Senate naval committee has decided to favor the building of bat tleships after the model of the Oregon, certainly a compliment to Pacific Coast builders, as she was built at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco.
