GRANTS PASS. JOSEPHINE COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY a, 1901.

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 cau procure Arte
" sian water to supply abundance of
water with which to irrigate.
Oil and Natural Gas aie the
irreatest economical fuel of this
veneration. Shall we let it be dor
mant here 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 Pass
forever coutinue 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
Natural Gis, Oil & Mining Co. to
soon begin active operation of dril
ling a number of v Is to the depth
of 1000 feet to ascertain the pres
ence of Natural ,Gas, Oil, Artesian
water and other valuable minerals.
They are 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
foil.
The Oregon Natural Gas. Oil
& Mining Co requests .ll farmers
and property holders to give them
the privilege of diilling one or more
wells on their property. They
will give a percentage of the
output of ilie wells to paities
granting the privilege.
In orck-r to get the people of
Grants Pass and Josephine comity
interested in Natural Gas, Oil, and
Artesian water they will give all of
them a chance to subscribe for a
few shares of the capital stock of
the company on very liberal terms.
Suppose you take a few shares of
the' capital stock of 1 he Oregon
Natural Gas, Oil & Mining Co. of
the par value of $1 per share.
You pay 10 per cent, down, 40 per
cent, when the machinery is set up
and is ready to begin operation and
the remaining 50 per eeut. when
they strike a How ol natural gas,
oil or artesian watei or have drilled
to the depth of 1000 feet. If they
strike oil, natural gas or artesian
water you have the option of tak
ing ten times as many shares asyou
subscribe for. They will pay you
back all the money received from
you if they fail to drill a well as
agreed upon.
You are invited to thoroughly
investigate their proposition. You
have nothing to lose but every
thing to gain. If you are a cap
italist it is a safe investment. If
you are a farmer or property holder
it will pay you to invest as it will
enhance the value of your place a
hundred fold more than you invest
if they should find cither oil, gas
or water near your property. II
you are a working man it will pay
you to take shares as this will open
up a vast and a new work for you.
The merchants and business men
should invest in Shares in order to
start this enterprise. Professional
men, in (act all classes of people,
should take a few shares in this
vast and new enterprise and it will
be a help to all in Grants Pass and
Josephine county. If you cannot
take 100 shares you can tak' 50 or
ten shares. Remember every dollar
will be returned to you if the com
pany fails to drill a well as agreed
upon, The stocks are non-assessable
and fully paid up as they are
used. The by-laws of the com
pany do not allow a debt to ex
ceed 1 per cent of the capital.
Scott Griffin of Grants Pass, Ore
gon, is a stockholder, a director
and the secretary of The Natural
Gas, Oil & Mining Co , who will
take leases on lands and subscrip
tion for stocks and will give any
information regarding the company.
The closer you investigate the
more you will help the company by
taking stock and leasing your prop
erty for the purpose of drilling one
or more wells thereupon as you
have uothingto lose but all to gain.
For further information call on
SCOTT GRIFFIN, Secretary,
The Natal Gas, Oil &!
Mining Company.

EXCELLENT QUARTZ MINES.
Good Showing of the Granite
Hilt. Little Dandy &nd
Other
Friday's Telegram contain the follow
ing communication in regard to some of
our promising quarlx properties:
"The Granite Hill mine is reported
making in excellent showing ae the
dweloproent work ' prepresses. Thia
mine is in the Grants Pans district
eight utiles from the town, and is owned
by J. O. Booth and C. L. Mangum. The
vein is in a granite formation and the
ore is free-iniljini;. The ledge strikes
north Gi degr-es west and dips about
45 degrees. There is considerable de
relopmnnt consisting of a tunnel on the
letlgolsouie Z0 feet and a shall down
60 feet.
iim mine yie us soino very ricti ore.
borne aainplei taken from: the 160 foot
level assay 700 gnld. These were an
average of very high grade of pay rock
from the hanging wall. Specimen rock
carrying uiuchj higher values can be
had. The mine has been worked coiv
S durably wilh an arrastre and mill, and
there is apparently about 700 tons of
tailings on the dump. The ledge is in a
granite dike, which lies between a blue
porphyry and a black diorile. TtiiB
granite belt or area is some 10 miles
wide. The eulphurets are high grade,
but the ore generally would be classed
as a good free nulling rock. There is a
five-stamp mill oil the property. There
is a good road to the mine, and ample
facilities ol timber and water for mining
operations.
The development of quartz prospects
in the up,wr Big Applegate district is
likely to assume more importance Hub
season than in former years. There are
a number of protr.ising claims in the
neighborhood of Ruch, and 11. S. Heed,
who has done a large amount of work
in that locality, has gotten out some
high grade gold ore. Further up in the
Thompson creek country, Hodman and
I ool obtained about tS00 from some 10
tons of ore milled. This ore was taken
from a new vein or shoot on what" has
been known as the Archer ledge. There
is Borne good ground in this section for
quart exploration. The veins are com
monly small, but if one is found to cairy
gold at all, it Is generally found to be
rich. In past years attention has been
given almost wholly to placer mining
and work on quart properties haB been
very limited.
Occasionally a ledge is lound in South
ern Oregon carrying substantial but no
very high values, in free gold, but is
made to pay, its way through somewhat
extensive development, until it reaches
that n tu ne of importance as a proporly
which allows it to he called a mine
Where that is so wilh a poor man as
owner and worker which is ordinarily
I he case ho will be found to possess an
uncommon degree of industry and perse
verance, and a deal of hard practical
senee about mining. Withul, he is only
after the free gold. Kich sulphides and
base orei geneially do not interest Mm.
The Little Dandy, in Burgiss gulch,
(Jrave Creek district, is a good instance
of such a mine. It is owned by J. G.
Hayden, who discovered it. It is a
iniall vein in di 'rite, striking about east
and west, with a width of three inchel
to two feet. The formation is very siinl
lar to that of the Victor, Jr. The aver
age width ol the vein is probably 10
Inches. This man is now working in a
tunnei' designed to tap the leJve at a
depth of 150 feet, and has progresn'il
with it 1H0 feet. There is an upper
crofs-rulof 10J feet, and drifis on the
vein at that level amounting to 210 feet.
The ore is free milling, but the sulphur
ets run high. He has worked 3o3 ton k
of ore, with an arrustre, near the mine,
and, according to the returns from the
mint and a smelling company, shown
the wriler, lie obtained from that amount
of ore T")2o5 2'), or $15 78 K-r ton gold.
The arraslra need liai a 12-foot tub and
a 20-foot wheel; it is a relf-dineharger,
ar.d four to six torn of lock were crushed
per day. He will not mill anv more
with an ariastre If the development
are good in the lower tunnel, he will
have an tip-to date stamn mill.
The figures given as to the develop
ment represent a great amount of hard
work for two men much of it haa been
done by Harden alone but it gave him
a living and the means of making a
mining property. He has a good houne
constructed of lumber ami a good road to
the mine. .Should the lower tunnel tap
a ledge of good size within some fit) feel
more, as it nium if it continues down
normally from the upper level, then
llayden is a wealthy man. It is a very
good example of what may be done hi
a steady, hardworking miner without
apiUl.
The Cycle Season.
Much secu!alioti has been indulged
in during the past three uioulhi as to
the probabilities of the bicycle trade for
Hie prttont year. ltased solely upon
(acts, '.he statements that the aggregate
sale of American bicycles will be Irom
lr to 33 1-3 per cent larger this year
than was that of l'.M, may be safely
accepted by the mcl conservative trade
critics. ur. her than this, the demand
from all quarters for the highest grade
ol wheel is to a mot satisfactory extent
largely in excess ol such demand in l'0.
More t-V) wheels and fewer ) wheels ol
the chain tvpe, and from it) to per
cent more chainlesa wheels will tie sold
this year than has Uen the care since
there two grades were adopted as
standard, or since the advent of the
chainlesa machine.
These are the facts, as nearly as they
can be arrived at by chance orders re
ived Jlroui bicycle agents throughout
the country. As to the causes, they are
easily arrived at by those who have
watched cycle trade developments for
the past two years, snd a bo know some
thing of the plans of the trading u a;.n
(acturea for the coming season.
Nominating Conventions,
On last Wednesday evening, conven
Hons were held in the various wards
for the purpose of making nominations

Death of F. T. Downing.
Fred T. Downing, formerly of Central
Point and for several months past en
gaged in the flour and feed business in
this citv, died on Saturday evening at
his borne in this city. Mr. Downing

but had not been considered seriously
ill until the last few days preceding his
leath. On the day of his death, Mrs.
Downing returned from a short absence
from bis room and found him un-
conscience, a condition from which he
never recovered. An injury to his bead
received last (all by falling from a load

Tyrel waa then well to do and pros

Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine In the civil
ized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Iudigestion or Ililiouancss
Doctors were scarce, ami they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostra
tion or Heart lallure, etc. They used
August I-lower to clean out ths system
and atop fermentation of undigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they txik when
feeling dull and bad wilb headaches and

elal lovisitats,
A few years ago geologists corUtdent
ly asserted that at one period of the
world's history a great ice cao oama
moving down from the polar regions
nnd swejit over North America as fur
south aa latitude 38, carrying with it
g-rent bowlders which lie about on
sloies and hilltops to this oay to
prove it and scratching the record of
Its movement UHn cliffs and ledges.
Then this Ice cap kindly melted and
disappeared. This waa taught In ths
schools, and to doubt it was heresy;
for science, when It takes up with a
theory, ia dogmatic, and all geologists
said: "Heboid, how wonderful is our .
knowledge; what aeereta we ean
wrist from the past!" After awhile
science ruther gave up the polar ice
cap theory and laid down a new dog
mathat of a single continental ice
sheet for North America.
Ths recent Investigations of officers
of the Canadian geological survey
prove that the scientists evolved their
glacial theory out of a vivid imagina
tion. It has been found that in
northern Alaska there is no evidence
that that pert of the oouritry was
ever covered by a glacier In fact,
conclusive evidence exists that It was
not. At the mouth of the MrKemU
river Is plenty of evidence 01 glacial
action, and also that ths glacier
which left Its records came front ths
south, On the western snores of Hud.
son bay are marks of a glacier which
cams from the west, and on the east
ern shores of one which cams from
the east Fast Of the Canadian Rock
ies Is a long belt which shows no evi
dence of ever having been exposed to
glacial action. '
These and similar discoveries hsre
put ths geologists "all at sea." and
they now have evolved a new theory
regarding ths glacial period. It is
that one big glacier did not at one
time cover all the North American
continent, but that several glaciers,
moving at different times from dif
ferent centers of distribution, made
their way in different directions and
left the glacial records which are now
found. They have even gdven namea
to these glaclera, such as the "Cor
dllleran glacier," the "Lahradorlan
glacier" and the "Keewatln glacier."
l'rof Law-son, of the University of Cal
ifornia, In writing on the subject la
ths Internntlonnl Monthly, says that
as yet it cannot be an Id that the suc
cession of these great glaciers in time
has Ixrn catalilished well enough to
warrant an unqualified acceptance,
but he seems to have little hesitation
In accepting the theory of different
glaciers moving from different points.
