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.

MR. SHIELDS RETURNS
TELLS OF WAR WAGIXG BETWEEN
THEATRICAL TRUSTS.
Say IraBiiffratlon Bureau In Chi

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

which he gave in the schools for the Chi

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,

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."

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

ONTARIO, Or., March 12. (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

PRICE OF HOPS IS HIGH
DE2ALERS ADVISE HOLDERS TO SELL
BEFORE MARKET BREAKS.
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 price at home is too high for
the English market It is being cared for

hy France, where there is still a small
amount on hand. 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.
