JOSEPHINE MINE
SHOWS PLATINUM
W. H. Rams&y Believes He Has
Made Rich Find on
Slate Crtek.
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.

KXYGS HTLIi SURVEY IS NOW
TJXDER WAY.
Manager Bradley States That Water
Will Be Placed on 20,000
Acres of Idaho Land.
GLENNS FERRY, Idaho, Aug. SL (Spe
cial.) The engineering crew of the Kings
Hill Extension Irrigation Company, head
ed by R. S. Fesencen. chief - engineer,
started work this morning upon the per
manent survey of the canals of the com

Company started Monday, moving their
camp to the Glenns Ferry side of the
river, and It is stated by L. G. Bradley,
manager of the company, that actual
construction will begin within the next
two or three days.
The Kings Hill Extension Irrigation
Canal will irrigate between 16,000 and 20,
000 acres of the lands lying along the
Snake River bottom between Glenns
Ferry and Medbury. The system when
completed will bring 100 second feet of
water from the Malad River, carrying It
In Immense siphons twice across the
great canyon of the Snake River for a
distance of something like 50 miles. There
will also be constructed two Immense
dams, making storage reservoirs with 30,.
000 acre feet capacity to conserve the
spring flood waters of the five creeks
which drain the high Bennett Moun
tains. Mr. Bradley states that the construc
tion will be ruehed from now on and
that it is contemplated to have the en
tire system complete In time to deliver
water for next season's Irrigation. This
system. It Is estimated, will cost in the
neighborhood of $660,000 and; is one of
the most difficult pieces of construction
that has been undertaken in this country.

" In the middle of the night of March

pull them apart. In the morning the
itching had got to my chest and during
that day it spread all over my body. I
was red ana raw from the top of my
head to the soles of my feet and I was
in continual agony from the itching. I
could neither lie down nor sit up. I
happened to see about Cuticura Reme

STATES RIGHTS INVOLVED
National Government Has No Right
to Tax Water Power Streams,
Argues Opponent of For

SEATTLE!, Wash., Aug. 31. (Special.)
"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."
The foregoing is the substance of an
Interview given today by Thomas H. Car
ter, United Statee Senator of Montana,
who believes that the Pinchot excitement
will meet a quick but quiet end when the
President gets hold of the facta in the
controversy which is now attracting Na

The "Safe and Sane" way to buy a piano is to deal with a reliable

No merchant, unless he conducts a "shell game," can give gome

it, and at the other end of the string there is usually a hook to catch
suckers. If it were not so could Mr. Merchant long remain in busi

to the resolutions passed by the National
Conservation Congress in this city, which
resolutions were fathered by George C.
Pardee, ex-Governor of California.
"Those of us who believe that the
states are free and sovereign within con

the Federal Government has no right
