ORE ASSAYS $175 TO TON Two Claims Are Staked Out and De velopment Work Will Begin at Once Finder May Be come Millionaire, GRANTS PA5S. Or., Aug. SI. (Spe cial.) W. H Ramsay, -who owns two claims at the head of Slate Creek. 23 miles from here, has made a platinum discovery that Is a revelation to miners of Southern Oregon, and will make Ram f?ay a millionaire if the prospects pan out as Indications show. Ramray has found that among his gold diggings platinum Is to be found in ouantitles that will be available to commercial use. He has had the ore assayed by a local ascayer and finds that It goes $176 a ton In platinum. "I went Into Plate Creek, district to locate a gold mine. . After prospecting a whO a last September. I took up two claims that looked very good to me, said Mr. Ramsay. Finder Is Jubilant. "I did not expect anything unusual, as mining at the most Is very uncer tain, but when you do strike the metal It makes a person feel Jubilant. After staking out these two claims. I aid tne reruired assessment work, and up until last week I had a shaft sunk 12 leet, with about 20 tons of ore on the dump, and as I noticed other metal would ap pear. I concluded to have the mine prop erly assayed for other metals than gold, and this week I brought In a fair sam ple, with the results that I have a good platinum mine. "The vein will average four feet. The mine has always paid good for the amount of work developed, and I never anticipated It would turn out platinum, as It Is found only In certain foreign countries." and usually sells from J22 to J34 an ounce. I do not know what the vahie of the mine Is. but It ought to be at least a half million, but as soon as I develop It a little more I will then be able to size up the situation. Friends Thontjbt Him Foolhardy. 1 am going to have the mine resur veyed. as it has become too valuable not to know the exact boundaries, accord ing to a surveyor's report. I was ridi culed for going up to the head of Slate Creek, and mining men said there was nothing there, but I have found Just what I consider a good thing. I . have been In the mining business for about ten years and own Interests In several companies. I prospected and located 12 claims for the Queen Gold Mining Com pany and 21 claims for the Buckeye Min ning and Smelting Company, but these two claims are ahead of anything I ever found or expected to get. But luck Is luck In mining." Many Filings Made. Besides the strike by Mr. Ramsay, the general tone of mining business Is look ing up. and capital is feeling Its way Into the mines by having men to stake out claims in every mining portion of the south end of the county. Monday 25 location notices were brought in and filed with the County Clerk. This is an unusual large number for Monday morn ing, and would be a goodly number for a month's filing heretofore.

"Abhorrent to the constitutional prin ciple of self-government by the people of the several states of the Union Is the policy of the federal control of streams and water power sites within the boun daries of the state. The crusade of the conservation enthusiasts, led by Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the Department of Agriculture, is calculated and planned with the intention of conferring political power on a clique of academic politicians and will fizzle out ur.der the scrutiny of Congress at the coming session."
