Gr&nta Pass txnd Its Mine.
Grants Pasa ie a mining town, Irom
the iact that it ia the center ot a vast
region in which the mineral industry
leads all others. Big, red apples, luscious
peaches and uionstei melons thrive in
abundance about U rants Pass and brings
its agricultural worth prominently to
view, yet above all these the immense
amount ol gold that baa been removed
Irom the placer beds and quarlx veins
of the district, and the myriad treasures
that still lie hidden and undiscovered,
have made, and will continue to make
Granti Pass a mining town ol no little
importance on the Pacific coast.
Grants P9S is a pretty city, situated
on the north bank ol the Roeue, nestling
in the center of a fertile vale, that
spreads out in a gentle slope to the
surrounding mountains. Oyer 3,000 con
tented people live there contented
because there is naught to cause dis
content. The climate is tbat of the
famous Rogue River Valley neiiher
too hot nor too cold. Rain? Yea, on
an average ol about 25 inches each year;
but do more than ia needed, lor one of
the items tbat make the Josephine
placer mines ol such value ia their good
water supply, affording longer ruua and
likewise big cleanups.
The city is well equipped srilh electric
lights, water works with good water,
good schools and plenty ol churches.
All line! ol commercial and profes
sional life are well represented. The
business men are wide awake, and ever
elert to the best interests of- the town.
These, like tha remainder ol the people,
are prosperous; business is good, cash
ready, and bullion plentiful. Inert
are three banks in Grants Pass, three
newspapers, an opera house, fine city
hall, and a volunteer fire department.
The great file of two years ago wiped out
all the wooden buildings in the business
portion, and now that section is made
up of solid brick blocks.
Southern Oregon quarts miurs have
long been noted lor their buacby or
pocket formations, and this, in many
instances has led capital to evade them.
It is true that the gold mines of this dis
trict are of this nature on the surface,
but in all instances the big ledges that
have shown up in pockets and bunches
on the surface, assume a permanent
aspect when followed down. The noted
Greenback mine, of the Grave creek
district, now known as the Victor
Junior, was, when first discovered, sup
posed to be only a pocket, an. it appealed
as such ; but to see the big Victor Junior
at work today, as its great battery of
stamps keep up a ceaseless roar, and
the day and night shift crews remove
the rich rock from the several levels,
will lead one to conclude that it is a
''pocket" of more than ordinary dimen
sions.
The same can be aid of the Mountain
Lion, now down 800 feet and working
the richest and best rock yet encountered
in the mine; the Gold Bug, working I
rich pay-chute, on tho 600-loot level
Tho Rising Star anil the Exchequer
with many others are getting deep
lown into the earth and finding the
treasures of gold permanent and un
faltering in their values.
These things have led mining men to
conclude that the quartz mines of the
.Southern Oregon districts are not all
pockets. The many undeveloped prop
erties are being developed, and their
owners are encouraged hy the success of
others about them. The past year lias
been one of great progress in Southern
Oregon mines. Old prnertioa have
added to their equipment, and new ones
have put in elam and gone to
work in a business-like way. The suc
cess attending these things point toward
a new era in Oregon's mines, and the
hitherto unknown and unrecognized
mineral region of Southern Oregon will
eventually develop into the richest and
leading proenies of the state.
From the lower Illinois river district
to the Siskiyou rango of mountains in
California runs a mineral deposit of
copper that is proving of late to he the
richest ledges of this metal yet found
any where in this scctiuii of the world.
The belt is known as the Waldo copper
fields. The uiitrlct covers an atca ol "lb
miles wide by 50 long, occupying ail of
southwestern Josephine county.
At the present time there are a dozen
mines in the Waldo district being
worked or developed, while over a score
more claims have been recently staked,
and new discoveries are he'iig constant
ly made. The smelter is situated at
the Huong group of mines, and treats
the ore of the immediate workings.
Other smelters are being talked of loi
the district, as the vast amount of ore
being removed would keep a dorn in
oieration.
The Waldo district, like all other
sections of Southern Oregon, is well
supplied with wood and water two
absolute necessities ia mining. The
various returns of a. cays made on ore
removed from the various mines of the
district prove that the mines of this
belt will compare in richness with the
ore ol the richest copper mines in the
world. The rock contains Irom 11 to
2J per cent copper ; the ledge run from
two to iW feet in width.
Wbeu the mineral and other re
sources of the district surrounding
Grants Pass are thoroughly developed,
they will support a population many
times greater than it does today. A
mountain of fins quality of marble with
in 13 miles of Grauls Pass and the rail
road will be valuable some day. The
immense and rich ledges ol copper ol
the Waldo district, now being worked
and develod. will, when ia active
operation, lurnisti employment lor a
large nuaaber of men. The plarr and
quarlx mines will increase in no in her
and value with the nexi lew years, aud
Urania Pa, the center of all, has U.
fore her a luture that ia moat remark
ably brilliant. Dennis r-torall, in

The peculiar interest that attaches to
photograph! that have been taken by
yourself, as compared with purchased
pictures, attaches, also, to, the grapho
phone records made ia your own home
as compared with those that are made
by professionals.. It is easy to achieve
good results from the start and jonr
records will Improve with practice the
the same as in learning to make photo
graphs, or to do anything else in which
practice leads to skill. To possess
photographs, - books, and all the long
list of rerutudera of happy dayt and
tender associations it delightful, but no
souvenirs can compare with a cabinet
filled with graphophone records from
which you can reproduce the Voices of
