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.

ACTIVITY IN BUILDING
Dwellings end Business Blocks.
Higher Cle.se of
Buildings.
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.
The first open air band concert ol the
season will be given on Friday evening
in the railroad park aud will be continued

.lrum major, headed the march, followed
by the band, who received many com
pliments for their exquisite mulcting
ol their beautiful selections. 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.
Adjutant Aba Axtell read tho orders

DON'T.
Don't forget that pecuniary charity .
is often a curse to humanity.
Don't bet that the dog with the hand
somest collar will win the light.
Don't submit te the inevitable until
you are sure it Is the inevitable.
Don't place too much confidence in
your companion when you are beside
yourself.
Don't think for minute that a man
ever bows to fate as a matter of
courtesy.
Don't forget the criticisms when glv
ing thanks for the blessings you hare
received.
