"I have always said, and I am now stronger than ever. In the belief, that Grants Pass -will some day be the center of the greatest mining devel opment in the United States,',' said Thoa. S. Barley, receiver for the Al meda Mining company, Wednesday. Mr. Barley had. last returned from lledford, where he had been on busi ness before Judge Calkins relating to the closing up of the receivership. The Aimed has recently been , re organized by the eastern stockhold ers, and ample funds are being put Into it to assure Its operation upon an extensive scale. All the. claims gainst it are being liquidated, and ,the receivership Is being closed up, final hearing to be had on March 15. Nat P. Ellis, representing the east am stockholders, recently arrived from Waverly. Iowa, and has since been active In relieving the property of Us burden of litigation. Mr. Bar ley announces that Mr. Ellis la soon to come to Grants Pass, when the Almeda, freed from Its financial and legal embarrassments, will ibe oper ated upon a scale that its value will Justify. Mr. Barley is especially optimistic, not only for the future of the Al meda, but also for the entire Grants Pass district, as Is evidenced by his prophecy that it was destined to lead all the United States In mining in the near future! While Mr. Burley is retiring from the receivership of the Almeda, he is not surrendering his interests in Josephine county min ing activities. In view of the renewed Interest in mining, and especially of the in creased amounts of copper ore to be taken from the ground here the pre sent season, the Courier has arranged to receive daily quotations upon cop per in the markets. These quotations are received by wire just after noon each day, and will be found in the market report published in the even ing edition of the paper. The price of this metal Is mounting upward most rapidly, being now quoted at 28 cents per pound, more than double the price of a couple years ago. The average price of copper during all of 1915 was 17.3 cents a pound, according to a report of the United States geological survey. WELCOME THE ENDEAVORERS, Friday the delegates from the Christian Endeavor societies of the state will gather in Grants Pass in annual convention. The metropolis of the Rogue welcomes this band of the representative citizens of Ore gon, and feels especially honored in being permitted to act as host for a body of people whose work Is the noble work for humanity's better ment. Every possible courtesy should be extended these gueBts of the city, and their visit should be made a bright spot in their memory, as it surely will be in the memory of Grants Pass. The program for the three-days session of the convention is published elsewhere in the Courier today. MORE PLUMS FOR FAITHFUL DEMOCRATS Washington, Feb. 17. President Wilson today nominated Frank A.
