Tha over burden la very great In aoma places, but beautiful gold Is down there and tha ahowlngs are rich. This Is not a worked out district: It Is new territory when handled by modem roln Ing methods and ths round is easily worked. The Waldo Consolidated Min ing company owns 2000 acres adjaoent to Waldo and It Is understood that tha townalta will eome, under Its operations In tha near future." Mining Is tha feature that Interests miners and excitement Is rife on every bill and mountainside. Ertry mine Is being given close attsntlon and worked mora carefully than ever before, with Imprpveraent In methods everywhere. However, mining is not the only at traction. With ths revival in railroad talk, farmers are taking courage In all tha Illinois, Sucker and Dear Creek val leys as well aa In tha numerous val leys and coves between Grants Paaa and Cresoant City, a dlatance of nearly 100 miles by wsgon road. Ths Bid town of Kerby is taking on new Ufa and already additions are platted to this beautiful inland city, one the capital of Josephine county but for many yeara -a quiet trading point for farmers and miners. Settle ment was made at Kerby prior to 1860 and civilisation had ao far advanced that a log jail was built in 1150. This Is a two story structure and is still standing and in a rood state of preser vation, although It Is now modernised by having been aided up with sawed lumbar. The old court houaa Is gone. as Is tha old flour mill, tha latter hav ing been washed away In a flood In the Illinois river a couple of years ago. Probably mora wheat waa threahed In the Illlnola and Sucker creak valleys in tha tO'a than Is now, as tha taates of tha well-to-do Inhabitants have ad vanced and nothing but the latest styls patent flour Is good enough for them. In tha election of 1151 Kerby precinct la said to have eaat the . largeat vote of any precinct in Oregon, while one aaloonkeeper took In' over $1000 over his bsr in one day, with tha cheapest drink at "two-bits." One meets some very talented people In theaa mountains -lured hither by the attractions of this climate, tha search for gold or love of a beautiful home where one may pile up wealth in stock raising or mixed farming. j Horace Steven I. who reported tha land fraud cases tried a few years ago. has a claim about II or SO miles from Kerby.

Is doing soma special work In tha Illlnola valley. , N It might be timely to say that Can yon creek spaclmena of tell u ride ore are being ahown that run 112.000 per ton. There is a great future before this country. Millions of cords of wood await tha coming of the steel rails to transport them to - market Watsr In abundance Is available over all this country.

ELMORE PARK ' SITUATED f IN - Jar imch-MCmt ,- . JfrltyirSC The Beauty Spot of Oregon's Coast and the Cream of Garibaldi Beach. Soon to be reached in three hours or less by the P. R. & N. Railroad, which will be com pleted about August 1 this year. Nearly all the beach properties of Oregon have been placed on the market and sold, some of them at prices ranging from $600 to $2500 per lot (some more). But it remains for the owners of Elmore Park to place within the reach of everyone of moderate means this, the most desirable spot along our shores. WHY? BECAUSE it is absolutely protected from the chilly northwest winds which mar the Summer outings at less favored places. BECAUSE every lot is level and covered with a luxuriant growth of green, mossy grass (not loose, shifting sand). BECAUSE Elmore Park has not one lot on the en tire property that is farther from the beach than 900 feet (beach lots in reality as well as in name). i Are and Up NO TAXES NO INTEREST Ten Per Cent Down, Balance as You Wish vm it .
