Xo. 9 V An Opportunity FOR Rogue River valley is full of Oil, Natural Gas, Artesian water and other valuatile minerals. Nature's storehouse is bulging out with wealth and only needs the magic hand oi man to unlock and reveal the hidden wealth stored up for the use of the Twentieth Cen tury. Our arid lands will produce wpn ders if we once can procure Arte sian water to supply abundance of water with which to irrigate. Oil and Natural Gas ate the greatest economical fuel of this generation. 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 continue to drink the slime aud 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 th; intention of The Oregon Natural Gas, OiKt Mining Co. to soon begin active oneration of dril ling a number ot Is to the depth of 1000 feet to ascertain the pres ence of Natural Gas, Oil, Artesian water and oilier 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. Thev intend if it is possible, to supply the city with plenty of pure Artesian water before the coming fall. The Oregon Natural Gis, Oil & Mining Co requests .ill farmers and property holders to give them the privilege of drilling one or more wells on their property. 1 hey will give a percentage of the output of ihe wells to pa 1 ties erantiu ' the privilege. hi order to get the people ofj Granli Pass and Josephine county 1 interested ill Natural Gas, Oil, aud Arte-ian water they will give all of them a c:i nice to sun.icrihu for a few slims of the capital stock of the company on very liberal terms. Suppose you take a few shares of the capital stock of The Oregon Natural Gas, Oil & Mining Co. of the par value of $t 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 cent, when they strike a flow 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 tiie 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 thev should find cither oil, gas or water near your property. If: 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 j men, in fact all classes of people,,! should take a few shares in this J I vast and new enterprise and it will ;i be a help to all in Grants Pass and i Josephine county. If you cannot j take 100 shares you can tak 50 or, ten shares. Remember every dollar will be returned to you if the com-1 puny fails to dri'.l a well as agreed , upon. The stocks are non-assess- j able and fully paid up as they are' used. The by-laws of the coin j pany do not allow a debt to ex- j ceed 1 per ceut of the capital. j Scott GritTiu of Grants Pass, Ore- j gon, is a stockholder, a director! and the secretary of The Natural ; Gas, Oil & Mining Co, who will take leases ou lands and suhscrip- j tion for stocks and will give any 1 information regarding the company. The closer you investigate the more you will help the company by taking stock aud leasing your prop erty for the purpose of ariUing one or more wells thereupon as you have nothing to lose but all to gain.

TLe healthful progress of this city is well evidenced by the quiet activity in construction with which s nu in her of creditab'e edifices ire being brought in to existence The Uranis l'asa Banking & Trust Co. are t-reeting one of the most substantial brick buildings in this portion o' the state. The foundation if entirely of the eolideat granite. The w hole interior ol the foundation is solidly filled up with river gravel and on this Ihe cement floor will be laid. Not a timber of any kind enters into the construction of the floor or loniidatioii and the whole is solid as Ihe everlasting hills. Work is being rushed on TullN new brick, on Sixth and II streets, which will be occupied by the Josephine county hank, aud the walls are well under war. This is to be a two story brick, 50 x U0 feet in dimensions. Its situation is such us to till out the solid business portion of of Sixth street in a moat satisfactory manner and it will add greatly in ap pearance to that portion of the town. The first story is divided into two rooms, one of which will be occupied by the bank and the other as a store building. Quite a number of dwellings are in course of construction and it is very noticeable that ;hesev like nearly all I hat have been erected in the last two years, are of the better class ol struc tures, built for respectability and per manence. Thero, has been hardly a time in the pa.. t two ytars w hen theie has not been a number of dwellings in construction and the present conditions ill that regard are only customary. J. P. Fry is building a handsome, modern and yery complete dwelling on A street on Ihe site of his former resi dence w hit h has been removed to make room lor the new edifice. J Knupp is building a commodious and handsome dwelling on Second and A streets, which will ho one of the finest houses in thai poillon id I lit! city. J. K. Weidinan is building a very attractive residence, on Kighlh and A streets, on the "dead line". T. F. Croxton in building a neat two story house on Third and C streets. The building is of modest dimensions but attractive appearance. J. It. Kberle is just completing a hand' sotne dwelling on A stieet near Sixth. Arthur Everton is building a dwelling on C street west of Gilbert creek, carry ing on tho work himself as he lias time from his duties as conductor. It will be a very creditable edifice. Geo. l'liehy is building a small though neat residence on C Btieet just east ot Gilbert creek. J. M. Noorhics is en gaged likewise on 11 ttreet near the school hoUHe. OtherB of more or less importance are being constructed and Ihe vacant spares in the tow n site are becoming appreciably iewer as time goes on. Lelnnd Sittings, Hubert Virtue took a trip to Grants 1'ass this week. Business is good here. Our sales are large for we have a large community to sell to. W have been having cool, cloudy weather, with a little Oregon mis'. Grass and grain is an assured crop. (ieo. Hear is about to leave lor Califor nia. He came here fur his health and as he is now in gr.od health, he will re urn Haying w ill be in order in a short lime and there will he a big crop of huy to reward the fanners eo we will not have to send away for it. We understand Mrs. Henry has been canvassing in our vicinity lor several useful articles and that she has met with gixid success. She is itlito a fluent talker. Mr. A. A. 1'nrler, our i tlieient ruad supervisor, is getting our roa Is into good shape. That w ill encourage people who live dt a distance to coiim and triulo with us. We see our Hugo correspondent is brightening up a little. She gives us quite a puzzle to work, hut as we are so busy in the store, .we haven't time and will leave it fur others to ftolv?. We fee by the Col mm that K. 1'.. Itedfield reported that we had a severe wind and rain storm here. Mr. Ited field should live in Canada for awhile, then he would know a g'-ntle rain from a big storm. We have no sieknesH to report and no trouble anion our neighbors. We are a quiet and peaceable community. We also have a number of amiable willows. Young men w hemre looking for widows can be suited on Grave creek. Kiuuey ville is growing at a lively rale. I'eople are o'ulined to live in tents' till houses can be built for the growing population. Kuineyville is to have a barber shop iu the near future ind a portion of the stock is on hand. Mr. Kinney has removed his family here from Portland. We have good news to write con cerning the mines. Two new quaili mint i have been found in the vicinity ol the Greenback. The rock assay! high ' -Vie I , to; with a three loot vein ol quarts. The miners of Mt. lieuben are developing their ledges. All as far as developed are giving good satisfaction, that is the greater the depth, the richer and stronger the ledge. We hear soma flattering reports from the quart! mines. Jo Ramsey sold his quarts mine to Rube Jonei, who ran a short tunnel to tap tho ledge at a greater depth. He found s fine ledge, richer than he was looking for. He is now running a 100 foot tunnel to tap the ledge lower down. The ledge is better and stronger than it was nearer the surface. That dispense with the theory that the farther down you go the smaller becomes the ledge. That idea originated with a lot of men who came here to prospect. They would dig a little on a ledge, then go aw ay and say I tie country ih an barren quarts. l!ou. Band Concerts.

After the band marched the veterans, with their old army guns, under the command ol John Patrick. The wide awake Hov'i Brigade, under the conduct of Lieu tenant K. II, Brown presented their usual brisk and lively appearance and the Fire company in their resplendent red uniforms added much to the scenic appearance ol the parade. Before two-thirds ol the assembled people reached the top of the opera house stairs, the hall was reported lull to overflowing. livery available chair and seat was secured and standing room was at premium.
