GOLDEN DRIFT MINING COS: EXCURSION.
Chicago and Columbus Stockholders of the Company
Inspect the Mine, Mill, Dam and Other
Property of the Company.
Visitors are Well Pleased With
Progress Made A Gigan
tic Undertaking.
The excursion party composed of
eastern stockholders of the Golden
Drift Mining Company arrived in
Grants Pass the first of the week on a
tonr of inspection. The members of
the party, while men and women of
means and business ability, are un
familiar with gold mining and this
visit affords them an ojijiortnuity of
witnessing the practical side of min
ing to some extent
The party have been touring the
west, and on account of the extremely
warm weather last week a large, num
ber of tlio original party remained at
the California seaside resorts in
preference to the trip hero, but thoso
who uihiIb the trip have spent their
timo looking over the projicrty and
viewing thu scenery in the iiimiediute
vicinity of this place.
THE DAM LOOKING UP STREAM.
A partial list of tho visitors is giv
en below :
C. G. Anient, president of the com
pany, Fowler, Colo.
M. and M's. Alls-rt Francis and
Frank Francis of Columbus, Ohio

Mrs. S. L. Starkweather, Chicago.

P. A. Halmgruin, Chicago,
These ladies and gentlemen are tak
ing a lively interest in everything
connected with mining and the varied
interests of this section mid they take
a hand in tunning out gravel for gold,
handling thu pick and shovel and
working the big derrick at the dam.
A visit to the gasoline saw mill on the
mountain back of the mine was a sur
prise to many of the visitors who were
not familiar with western saw mill
ing. It was a coutiunul surprise to
them to see the big logs three and four
feet in diameter "snaked" to the log
Hchnte by machinery and then make a
lightning-like trip to the mill leaving
h trail of smoke behind. The descent
is so steep that sand has to lie
sprinkled along the schnto at same
places to retard the progress of the
THE DAM FROM THE SOUTH BANK OF THE RIVER.
ng nnd at the boltom a "bumper" is
countructed to receive the shock of tlie
descending lug. Machines and lubor
saviug devices are employed wherever
(OMihle; no expense is srel to make
the equipment comilete In ever jr
tienhtr. The dam is the princiiail attrction
and every visitor is astonished at the
immensity of the undertaking and the
mechanical skill displayed in its con
struction. Rogue river at the point
where thu dam is constructed is 210
feet wide with an average depth of
e"t feet The entire length of the
dam will be fl'X) feet, extending a
great distance into the bank on either
aide of the river. The dam at the
bottom is 100 f.--t wide aud a 50-foot
apron will lie laid np stream giving a
150 ft. surface on the bottom, which
will be strengthened by two rows of
piling which aro tipped with steel
to permit of them being driven into
the cement bed of t ho river. Another
aprou on the down stream side is
constructed of heavy timbers to break
the force of the water and to prevent
the possibility of undermining the
structure. The timbers used are 12x13
inches.
The height of the dam is SO feet.
A fish way after the pattern approved
by the U. 8. authorities will be con
structed, so as not to impede the
passage of fish up the river to their
spawning grounds. Every precaution
that is known to modern dam building
has been taken and many that, to
ono unfamiliar to tho power of run
ning water, would seem unnecessary.
The constructors prefer to tko too
many precautions thun to have the
dam washed out for the lack of any
one safeguard. It certainly seems
that the dam will bo capable of hold
ing a mneh greater body of water
'mm
than Kogno river ever has had and
will lust for centuries. It is exiected
that the structural work will be
completed in ahont ono month be
fore tho season for high water arrives.
The race will lie IK) feet wide and
25 feet deep and the hays will admit
10 wuter wheels giving 8000 horse
Iower.
Wo give two illustrations of the
dam as it now nppcarx.
Pump manufacturers are now em
ployed in making plans for the equip
ment and three firms are bidding on
thu work. There will he. one pump
lifting a 21 inch stream and deliver
ing 22000 gallons of water s r minute.
This pump weighs 4!,000 pounds
and is to supply uu irrigating ditch
which will bu in readiness to supply
wuter for the next years crop. Four
other heavy duty pumps will be in
stalled at first, callable, of lifting 0000
gallons each against an K00 foot head.
Two of them will weigh !).'!, (KK) lbs.
each, and the other two 40,000 lbs.
each. They will lie made in the Is'st
manner known to modem skill.
An exceedingly pleasant feature of
the visit to this place was a reception
givtn by the stockholder, to the olllcers
of the coinimuy at tbe Western Hotel,
Tuesday evening at which the resident
members; C. W. Anient and wife,
M. C. Anient and wife and A. II.
Anient wero present.
Tho most interesting feature, of the
evening was thu presentation to Mr.
C. W. Anient of a very handsome gold
headed cane 011 which was engraved,
"C. W. Anie nt, presented by O. D.
M. Co. Aogust IW8." This was
presented in a pleasing manner and
with the following appropriate s.-ech
by Mrs. Alice E. Peters:
"Every person in this company has
made it the aim of his life to reach
the highest and best in character build
ing, and the effort has reacted for the
good opon all around them ,but then
is one in our ('Anient') aim meant s
golden shower of blessing opou those
who have intrusted their little all to
his keeping.
"From the time the uincN'en hund
red and two's left heir home, until the
pr.'sent hour, they have tested the
scintillations from his generooi na
ture; h has lavished kindness aud
unselfish attentions upon ns, nntil
everywhere they are in evidence in a
mirvelous way, reminding ns ol the
fairy stories of our childhood ; when
ever his magical 'wand moves, there
the comforts needed are at hand, and
we can say in truth that his peer
among men has never crossed our path.
"We are very grateful for the hospi
tality that we have been the recipients
of from this American manager of the
best mine on earth, a mine that has
for ages been towered in proud majesty
with its pine tipped turrets toward the
sky, the foundations made of granite
defying the elements of centuries,
rushing waters, roguishly taunting
rocks and trees, then pushing them
dowu its mad torrents. Nature, in
wild beauty, that God pronounced
good in the lung ago, is being brought
under tho power of man who was
givju dominion. Tho timu has come
when a Soloumu'hns put his head be
hind these acres, a Sampson twined
his arms about tho hills, a Hercules
damned tho mighty witters, and bit
hold the result I a tnblcspoouful of
gray mutter in tho bruin of a modern
Newton bus accomplished the fent
that a few months ago was pronounced
an impossibility ; difficulties have
been surmounted, machinery put in
motion, and soon the earth will melt
before tho action of 18 powerful
giants that And their supply day and
night in the captured river.
"Now that success is ut hand, the
best that God nuule, called w hoa-muu
(woman) and ho lays his treasures at
hhr feet, and all the share-holders in
Golden Drift Mining Company shout
'Amen-t!' 'Anien-t!'
"Whenever wo look into tho face of
onr host wo nro reminded of our be
loved president, so recently laid low
by the assusin's hand.
"Surely, furies have been minister
ing unto him, for even thu sand under
his feet turns to gold, ami he is will
ing to share it with us, too.
"For feur that in future success,
you may become to puffed up to retain
your equilibrium, andus a testimonial
of our resiHH't and friendship, I am
delegated in behalf of our crowd to
present yon, our lender, this canoj it
is our prayer that through all timu it
mny bul and blossom for you as did
Aaron's rod of old, nnd he a talisman
that will H'rH'tuuto you in eternal
youth, so that you may find unmiti
gated joy in the fortune that has come
to you, which, wo know will he a ben
ediction wherever your tnlluciicu
reaches. "
This was a great surprise to Mr.
Anient mid was very gratifying to
know that tho stockholders of the
company hold him in so high esteem.

A young man who a fuw days ago
was called on in an emergency by the
factory employing him to do about
three ordinary days' work in a single
day tells us that in this severe test of
endurance ho was ahlu to seo plainly
which wero tho drinking men in thu
factory. A number of hcliiers who
were steady drinkers but not drunk
ards, were unstrung and had to drop
out long before the end, whilo the
temjicrutu men stuck to their posts. It
is certainly not too much to say that,
other things being equal, tho drink
huhit is a decided handicap to a man
in any kind of business, from that of
the common luhorur to that of tho
highest trust. Competition tends to
weed out drinking men, and it is next
to imxissiblu for a drinking man to
attain to any really high position of
any kind. This is tho practical side
of thu drink question disregarding
for tho moment any moral considera
tions. Tho Pathfinder.
