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

ling a number ot v e'.l to the depth
of 1000 feet to ascertain the pres-

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.

HOW TO LOCATE A CLAIM.
New Mining I.B.W Passed &t the j
Recent Session of the
Legislature,
The new Hurretl mining law makes a
nuinlier of niaieiial changes in the man
ner of making a legal location and lor
the benelit of miners aud iroeclora we
publish the law in full.
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.).

- A Gentle Hint.
In our stylo of climate, with its sudden
changes of temieratiire, rain, wind and
sunshine often inleimingled in a single
day, it is no wonder that our children,

taken from us by neglected colds, half
the deaths resulting directly from this
cauxe. A botllo ol. Boschee'a German
Syrup kept about vour home lor imme-
liate use will prevent serious sickness, a
large doctor's bill, and perhaps death,
by the use of three or four doses.

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

iples. For more than OU0 years they
have been roumlng over Europe and

which she haa not the entree and an

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

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.

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.
