V Siteef mntut VOL. XVII. GRANTS PASS. JOSEPHINE COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1901. No. 23 An Opportunity FOR Rogue River valley is full of Oil, Natural Gas, Artesian water and other valuable minerals. ' Nature's storehouse is bulging ' out with wealth and only needs the magic hand of man to unlock and reveal the hidden wealth stored up for the use of the Twentieth Cen tury. Our arid lands will produce won ders if we once can procure Arte sian water to supply abundance of water with which to irrigate. Oil and Natural Gas aie the greatest economical fuel of this generation. Shall we let it be dor .manthere in Rogue River valley, while other sections of the country are using nature's storehouses? Oregon cannot be beaten any where in the world, for natural Gas, Oil or Artesian water. Rogue River valley is truly the Italy of America. Here we have the finest climate, the best apples, the largest peaches and the prettiest girls. Shall the people of Grants Tass forever continue to drink the slime and slush and sewage that pours into Rogue river while we can have the best of Artesian mountain water by the very simple process of dril ling a few hundred feet? What a beautiful city Grants Pass would be if there were a stream of pure Artesian water flowing along each side of her streets. -It is the intention of The Oregon soon begin active one ration of dril ling a number ot v e'.l to the depth of 1000 feet to ascertain the pres- wir,vnf Vitllrfll fi Oil Artfkinn .t..r .,rl i1,r.r'vatiml,l. minprnk They arc now bonding land in and around Grants Pass. Within the next six months they will be drilling on some of the' property they have bonded for that purpose, They intend if it is possible, to supply the city with plenty of pure Artesian water before the coming fall.

Section 1. Any person, a cuiiten of the Uni'ed States, or one who has de clared bis intention to becomseueh, who discovers a rein or lede of niiueial bear ing rock in place upon the unappropri ated public domain of the United Slates within this slate, may locate a claim upon such vein or lode discovered, bv posting thereon - a notice of such dis covery and location, which said notice shall contain: Firat, the name of the lode or claim ; second, the name or names of the locator or locators; third, the date of location ; fourth, the number of linear feet claimed along the vein or lode each way from the point of dis covery, with the width ol cacn side ol the said lode or vein; fifth, the general course or stiike of the vein or lode as nearly as may be and by defining it from some prominent monument. mound or land mark, and by defining the boundaiiei upon the surface of each claim so that the same may be readily tiaccd Such boundaries shall be marked within thirty days after posting such notice, by six substantial posts. projecting not less than three feet above the surface of the ground, and not leas than four inches equare or in diameter, or by substantial mounds of stone, or earth and stone, at least two feet ;n height, to-wit : One such poet or mound of rock at each corner and at the center of such claims. Sec. 2. Such locator shall, within 00 days from ami after the posting of the location notice by him upon the lode or claim, file or record with the recorder of conveyance.', if there be one, who shall be Ihe custodian of mining records and miners' liens, otherwise with the clerk of the county, wherein the claim is situated, a copy of the notice (o posted by him upon the lode or claim, having attached thereto au sllidavit showing that the work required to be done by section ,H. of I Inn act has been done and performed, aud shall pay lo the recorder or clerk a fee of f 1 for such r.-cord thereof, which sum the recorder or clerk shall immediately pay over to the treasurer of such county and shall take hia receipt thrrefor, as in the cant-of other county funds coming Into posses sion of mch olliivr. Such recorder or clerk shall immediately record such location nut ice and the alhdavit annexed Iheielo. No loch ion notice shall be entitled to record or recorded until the work r quired by section 3 of this act has been done and the affidavit ill proof thereof is attached to the notice to bo rccoided. Sec H. Il.'loie the expiration ol (SO days from the da e of the posting of the notice of discovery upon his claim as aforesaid, and before recording the notice of location, as rtquired by sec tion 7ol this act, the locator nnist sink a shall upon the claim located to a depth of at least 10 feet from the lowest part of Ihe liui of null shaft at the surface, or deeper if nccesi-ary, to show by such work a lode or vein of mineral deposits in place, A cut or crossc lit or tunnel which cuts Ihe lode at a depth of 10 feel or an open cut at leant six feet deep, four feet wide and 10 feet in length, along the lode in any manner discovered, is equiva'ent to such dis covery shaft. Such work shad not be deemed a part ot the asespinent work .required by the Revised Statutes of the United Stales. The locator or some one for him who did work upon and has knowledge of the facts relating to the sinking of the discovery shaft, shall muke and attach to the copy of Ihe notice of location to tie recorded an affidavit showing Ihe coinpliame by the locator with the provisions of this s-ction, which aliiddVil shall be recorded with such copy of the location Unix.).

Whoever has traveled In Europe has doubtless met in some part of the con tiuent a iranor of Hungarian gypsies roaming over the various countneaof Europe, troni south to north and from west to east. As rule, they travel In families, numbering- from 35 to 100 souls and more, carrying along; with them all their various and strange paraphernalia and domestic necesal ties. In most countriea of Europe laws have been passed according to which these vagabonds are allowed to stay only a couple of days or a couple of hours in certain provinces or provin cial districts, when they are escorted bv irendormes over the border. The principal business transactions con sist of fortune-telling, begging and stealing. They are especially clever in the latter branch of business and take everything, from a pin and needle to a horse and carriage. The gvpsirs have been a real nut is nee for Europe tor centuries and the AuKtro-fiurignrian government is now considering a plan to force this moat peculiar vagabond race into settle merit, somewhere in the vast plains of Hungary. Moat characteristic of the cvrisies is the taut that tney never work. This is one of their first prin iples. For more than OU0 years they have been roumlng over Europe and the up-to-dale gypsy la by all means the cleverest thief in the world.

There ia hardly a profession to which she haa not the entree and an army of working women ia to be found in all the larger cities. Yet the sta tisticians claim that out of 115,334, duO women over 20 years of age in this country but 2.7H7,h(18, or about 17 per cent., represent the wage earners. In contrast are the statistics concerning the women workers of Francs. In that country nearly one-half the feminine population, or S.3nl,lMI out of a total of 12.1ii7,l 1J user 30 year of age, are working women. In addition to these millions of wag earners, it is computed that there are 500,000 women landowners who arc Independent of masculine support. a scientific work, compiled for use St the recrnt exposition and treating of women and women's work in France the following table appears: Physi clans, 4W; author, (13; artists and sculptresses, S.Sof); singers - and actresses, 3,100; nurses, 13,000; mill! ners, 3U.00Q; govirnment employes, yj.ooo; members of religious orders, ii.ttM; teachers, 100,000; in business houses, 244.O00; landowners, VjO.000; factory girls, 57S.00O; domestic serv ants, cvi.ooo; seamstresses, 1 10,000; farm laborers, J,7O0,0O0.

MEN BUYING THIMBLES NOW. Testlaaoar at the talesBlrl aa a the Hew Tark. One phase ot the notions depart ment business that would strike a casual observer as peculiar," aaid the girl behind the counter, according to the New York Suu, "is the number of men who buy thimbles. The first tlms old a thimble to a man I was almost convulsed with curiosity and he was in the same condition with bashtulnesa. He tried to make me think at first that he waa buying it for hit sister, but he worried so over the size that I sus pected there was something1 back of his anxiety, and at last I aaid: 'Can't you give me some idea of the site of your sister's finger? Ia it ss large as mine, for example?' and I held up the middle finger of my right hand (or inspection. 'Oh, yes,' said h. It is larger than that much larger. It's almost as large as mine,' 'And then I laughed and presently he laughed and told me all about it. The fact is,' he ssld, 'I have no sister. m roughing it In bachelor quarters here in New York, and I have to do so much mending and sewing on buttons and the like that I find a thimble Is in dispensable. I suppose my ability in that line is nothing to be ashamed of, hut somehow I rather ahrank from letting on thru I was buying a thimble for myself. I thought It would make me aeem effeminate.' "But. that was two or three years ago," sdded the girl. "They are not so squeamish nowadays. They march ight up and buy thimbles and thread and even darning cotton without a tremor, just aa women buy their own rifles and row boats and other sport ing goods, all of which gore to prove that the aexes sre reversing their old- fashioned occupations with a ven geance. Most of the men who buy thimbles have the nicest tapering fingers imaginable. I suppose most of tn cm work in ofllces or storea and don't do anything to spoil their hands. They are very particular about the nt of their thimbles. They always want them aa tight aa beeswax. A woman likes a thimble looae enough to permit of circulation, but the? men say they can't do anything with the thimble alipping off all the time. Men buy good thimblrs, too; much better than the average woman. It ia no unusual thing for them to ask for a gold one. Then I have to send them to the Jewelry department. This year I gave aeveral young men nice thimbles for Chrlatmas presents, They all said I couldn't have given them nnything that would have been so useful and acceptable. It's a won der to me why more girls don't give their men friends thimbles Instead of fancy handkerchief cases and neck tie mixes. I m sure they would ap preciate them more. By another year, funry, they will get onto the idea. for the social condltiona In New York make thimbles and even complete ae-WIng companions a necessary ad junct to every young man's bachelor outfit." HAMLET'S CASTLE. omelklaa; Aeoat the Horn at Ike Fansaas Daas at Klalaors, UssMSrk, Jacob A. Rile, the New York pov erty expert, lived as a child in the neighborhood of the castle of Kron borg, Elainore, Denmark. He has re visited the place in recent years, and his early and luter reminiscences are embodied In an article railed "Unin let's Castle," which appeared in the Century. In 1573, as a first step toward mak ing It fit for a king to live in, Fred erik II. "swept It clean of all hurt ful people and animals, meaning, by the latter, vagrant awine and dogs, II ow hia broom worked on the "peo ple" is instanced by the treatment of outcast women under the edict, They were to be whipped and brand ed by the headsman, and turned out If they came back, both their ears were to be cut off. If after that they were again found within the gates of the city, the order waa to stuff them Into sacks and throw them into the sound. Four years of this sort of thing was supposed to have cleared the ground, and the erection was be gun of Kronborg the "crown castle, that waa the name, aaid the king. and for miscalling it r blunder or "Hook" any man waa to pay him the value of one fat steer. Long before ita gray walls had risen to half their height the new name stuck, and when it waa finished. In 111, the steer rev enue had ceased to be of account Of the revelries that attended the opening of the castle it may well lie that the echoes ring yet In Hamlet description of "thia heavy-heude revel," which to his mind Is "more honour'd in the breach than the ob servance." For in that year there played at Elainore a troue of stroll lug English actors, which for all we know with certainty to the eontrury, may have included young Willium Shakespeare himself, come fresh froia poaching upon Sir Thomas Lucy's pre serves to seek hia fortune amontf the playhouses In Loudon. The old town records contain two referencea to them. One is a mere entry of the expenditure of four skilllng "for ths repair of the board fence bet wee a the house of Laurltx, town clerk, thl town hall and yard, which the peopll broke down the time the Englla I played in the yard." That waa in lit) , and mey have bten on the occaalo I of the opening festivities. Th I troupe came back later and stayel some time.
