OREGON SENTINEL, JACKSON VILLF. I Saturday, ArousT 1, 1885. Jacksonville. it's business out-look peospects. AND FUTUBE It has come to be almost the con stant business of some of the less favored towns of this section which aspire to county seats and commercial importance to represent that Jackson rills and it's business as a commercial center are declining. In ordir to disabuse the minds of such as have been misled by these statements, which, thus far hare not been noticed by our press or people, and leave the public to judge for them selves we will submit, in this article, a candid and unvarnished statement of our leading business interests and our surroundings and show that the prejudices thus Bought to be created against us havv had but one purpose and that purpose has been to build up, by endeavoring to kick down and ack nowledge superior. Those who have been engaged in this small and dis reputable business hare yet to learn . that cities are neither built nor de serted through petty prejudices; tut built to facilitate trade and commerce and deserted when they do not answer these purposes. It will be shown that at no time in the history of our town have it's prospects been brighter than at the present, Jacksonville was built up by the discovery of gold on Jack son creek in 1851-2. From that time 'til this it has been the acknowledged center of business for the whole of Southern Oregon; and we shall show by its most favorable and happy sur roundings that it is destined to remain Mich, and to grow in influence and importance in proportion as its na tural resources and advantages exceed and excel any other town or section. It should not be forgotten that Jack sonville is situated within six miles of the center of the largest and richest grain growing ' body of land in the county; and by far the larger body of this land lies between Jacksonville and the center, so that the steam flouring 'ill located here, and the touly one in the country, can be reached by an easy haul of not over fire of six miles. The steam mill at this place is there- 'fore the nearest raillmg point for the wfiofe of (niB'fargpBMMWMLstcn-TS' "7 conceded to lie the fiatwt, us it is the largest, in the valley. This showing ia certainty a good one and better still because it is true, and because it places us within as easy reach of any and all agricultural advantages as eould be enjoyed by any other place, ven with like milling facilities, ex eept the center of this district which has at this time no mill inc privileges. Jacksonville has an xhaustless mine of wealth alone in her surrounding foot hills, which, in. time, and a very short time, will be one of the greatest sources of revenue in the valley. It has been been shown by actual test that our rich and fertile hills, extendinginto the valley areeBpec ially adapted, in this locality, to the successful culture of the various fruits: while grapes grown upon these lands produce in abundance and of the best quality, ilie manufacture or wine from grapes grown in the immediate vicinity of Jacksonville is destined, in the near future to be one of the mate rial and most profitable industries of the country. The completion of the railroad through the 'valley has ren dered it necessary to grow and manu facture something that will bear shipping. The constant drain oc casioned by imports will compel a change in farming and a change from heavier to lighter and more valuable freights. This drain must be met and comptinsalea Ior by sucn roaucio n -.-aufactures as can be shipped in b call bulk and at a pro6t. Fruit and wine, such as can be manufaetured here, can be exported, at a good profit, and from no point more largely or ex peditiously than from this. In the matter of wine, the most profitab'e of ull the manufactures for shipping, and which will shortly be made a apecialty here, no poiut will pretend that it can compete with Jacksonville, for the rea son that the soil here produces a grape far superior to any grown in the county. Regarding our mineral resources, which, as will be bhown are bv no means small, we are so situated as to have almost a complete monopoly of the whole of the gofd product in Southern Oregon. Not less than onu hundred thousand dollars in dust flows into the hands of our merchants and business men annually from this source , ilone. This is the largest source of actual money revenue in the county and more than doubly exceeds the net profits of all the manufactures in this district. It is not unreasonable to say, with the preparations that are making for an actual tet ol the quartz leads lying about Jacksonville and known to contain gold that onr yet undevelop ed mineral resources will prove to be of more" lastiog benefit to the town and country than the placers have been. It is well known that there are 10 or 15 gold bearing leJges within 5 or 6 miles of Jacksonville and should they prove to contain gold in paying quantities, as it is belived they will, the future of Jacksonville is fixed be yond any question. So firmly of the opinion are our people that these ledges will pay, they have sent for a test mill called the "Dyer Cannon Ball Quarts Mill" j.atented in 1882 and which is said to be one of the best ever invented. It is expected the mill will be in operation in a short time when the fact will be demonstrat ed whether these ledges will pay or no. But whether they pay or not the fact cannot be disputed that the gold dust annually coming into the hands of our business men notwithstanding the general business depression, will serve to explain, in a great, measure their present financial ease and indepen dence as compared with the threaten ing stringency that seems to exist else where in the county. "We hope none of our neighbors will take these facts to heart but accept them gracefully as any effort to rub them out will only develop the proof. President Cleveland's Proc lamation. Immediately upon the announce ment of the death of General Grant, President Cleveland issued the fol lowing address in memorj of the great hero, warrior and statesman: "The President of the United States has just received the sad tidings of the death of that illustrious citizen and ex-President of the United States General Ulysses S. Grant, at Mt. Mc Gregor in the State of New York, to which place he had lately been re moved in endeavors to prolong his life. In making this announcement to the people of the United States, the Presi dent is impressed with the magnitude of the public loss of a great military leader, who was in the hour of victory magnanimous, amid disaster serene and self sustained; who, in every station, whether as a soldier or Chief-Magistrate, twice called to power by his fellow-country men, trod unswervingly the pathway of duty, undeterred by doubt, single-minded, and straight fern ard. The entire country has wit nessed with dvep emotion his prolong ed and patient struggle with the pain ful disease, and has watched by his couch of suffering with tearful sympathy. The destined end has corre at last, and lifiTspiritTTas relUr; ed to the Creator who sent it forth. The great heart of the nation that fol lowed him when alive, with love and pride, bows now in sorrow above him dead, tenderly mindful of his virtues, of his great patriotic service, and of the Moss occasioned by his death. In testimony of the respect to the mem ory of General Grant, it is ordered that the Executive Mansion and the several departments in Washington, be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days, and that all public business shall, on the day of the funeral, be suspen ded, and the Secretaries of War and of the Navy will cause orders to be issued for appropriate military and naval honors to be rendered on that day. In witness whereof, I hereunto have set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done in the city of Washington, this twenty-third day of July A. -D., one thousand eight hundred and eigh ty five, and independence of the Uni ted States one hundred and tenth."
