THURSDAY. JANUARY 29. 1903.
Representative Halo's bill to protect
boarding liooss and hotel keepers,
which came before tlio house on Toes
day, was lost
Little change is evident in the sen
atorial contest. The supporters of
Fnlton and Goer cling stubbornly to
their candltdatcs, the democrats are
voting for Wood, tlio scattering vote
Is mnch the same as before. The
deadlock is unbroken. There may be
surprise in store for tlio people of
Oregon but it has not yet appoared
what it will be.
A bill is in consideration by the
legislature to compel the placing of
flue mesh wire screens at tlio heads of
all ditches. This of conrso is in the
interest of the Huh. Such a measure
would work a great deal of harm in
tills connty especially to the placer
mining industry as the screens would
be an intolerable and coustant nuisance
and and obstacle to the flow of the
water. The finer the mesh, the worse
the nuisance as thoy wonld be con
stantly filling np with leaves and
other debris. Fish are worthy of some
protection bat there are other interests
of far greater importance to be afruot
ed by this bill
A bill has been Introduced in the
honse by Representative Halo and a
similar oue in the senate by Senator
Booth, to oroate the office of commie-
sloaor of mines The commissioner
Is to bo appointedby the governor and
Is to have not less titan seven years
ezporlenoe in practical mining in tlii
state. He is to collect and distribute
Information regarding mluerals in the
state and prepare statistics and re
porta. He is required to insjieot mines
and when he finds unsafe conditions,
to post notices to that effect. Ho will
be sworn not to Impart any special In
formation regarding a mine without
the consent of the owner. The term of
office is to be fonr years and the salary
$JM per month.
A Grants Pass dispatch to the Ore-
gonian last week stated there wore a
number of cases of smallpox in town
and that a death had occurred there
from. At tlio time the dispatch was
written, there was one mild case in
quarantine, a man who had come In
on the train from tlio north and who
had boou promptly taken in charge by
the authorities. His was tiie only
case and the report of a death was
utterly without foundation, the cor
res)ondut evidently having in mind
the death of a liltlo boy by scarlet
fever about a mouth ago. On such a
ticklish subject as smallpox, care
should be taken not to make any
such wild remark a Oue more case,
also mild, has tluce appuarod aud the
house was quarantined.
Tim Woman's club of tills oity can
not bo too highly comnieuded in the
spirit of public enterprise which is
exhibited. They have tiikeu np the
library project and have a very grati
fyiug assurance of success If they are
aecouded therein by the oltUeus. They
havo the Wat oi prospects of securing
from Andrew (Jamegie a handsome
donation for a library if certain con
ditions in tlio matter of a site for aud
maintenance of the library cau bo
compiled with. In this mutter, they
need the practical aud material assist
ance of the citisens of tlio town and
we aro confident that it will ho given,
as tlio success of the project would be
of immense publio benefit. The ben
efits of a fne library go to tliiwe who
lii-eil tliem and this is iu itself a
sufficient recommendation for In sup
lirt Tlio Courier has lately added to its
equipment a new Job press of the
larger pattern, carrying all the later
improvements, a thoroughly up-to date
machine. Another of our lato addi
tions is a wire stitchiug maehiue.
The Courier uow has a mechanical
equipment which is superior to auy
other iu Southern Orngou and is
better prepared thau ever to give its
Imtrous the best service and returns.
The Courier is iu the fore front of
progress aud advancement. Its jxiliey
and effort is toward constant improve
ment and advancement both uiechau
leally and otherwise. We hare no
thought of stopping or standing still
or say lug "This is good enough." We
will ooutiune to Improve as long as
there Is room. Stay with the Courier

THE HOTEL FLAT PLACERS
New Hydraulic Mine In Brians
Creek District.
The "Hotel Flat" placer on Rriggs
oreek is being opened np by Trcfrcn
of Ashland and associates. This mine
contains a largo area of untouched
placer ground of undoubted richness.
It lies just below tlio Burr mine which
is a good producer. The ground is
neither deep nor difficult to work.
Most of tlio "pay" lies clone to the
bedrock and the gold is coarse, smooth,
heavy aud of high quantity.
Hotel Flat has a history which its
name perpetuates. During tlio Silver
oreek excitement of tlio early 70's, a
"hotel" was kept here which was a
half way house between Silver creek
aud the Rogoo river settlements.
The hotel was kept by James Ferreu,
still a resident of Brlggs creek and it
did a rushing business iu its day.
The ruins of tlio old houso still stand.

A RICH PLACER REGION
Josephine County's Many Hy
draulic D&cer Mines.
Josephine county and the region ml
jiicont to it lias always been, and w ill
continue to bo lor the next 100 years,
a remarkably rich placer region.
Them is no other section anywhere,
of its area, that contains so many
hydraulic placer mines and so many
acres of placer ground, as docs Jose
phine county. Providence has gener
ously endowed Josephine with all the
necessary requisites fur placer gold
digging. The liberal rains of every
winter, and tne multitude of stn-ams
that iuterwi't and cut the country
everywhere make this country an
ideal one for.tho surface miner.
There is as great a ditTercnce be

same auriferous streams where today
the giants aro hurling their inightv
streams against the gravel hnuki

them at their gold, were scratched
over half a century ago by the pros

"Gold Pick" quartz mino on Boland
creek in tlio Althouso reigou. This
mino was discovered and first worked
by Stewart BauEeld, who took out
a quantity of remarkably rich ore at
different times. Tlio rich ore occurs
in bunches aud all indications show
that a mino of permanence and groat
valuo will bo devolojied with depth.
Stewart & lianneld sold to Matthews

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING
Annue.1 Meeting of Board
ind
Election of Officers.
The annnal meeting and election of
the Grants Pas Board of trade was
held on Monday evening in tlio City
halL The reports of Secretary
Stovall and Treasurer Gilkey were
read, accepted and placed on file.
R. L. Coe, the retiring president, sub
mitted a message saying ttiat trie
Board was to be congratulated that it
still lived; that the spark of life still
burned, in the face of the opposition
which the workiug members of the
Board had met in their efforts on be
half of the town. He requested that
the attending members should talk
the niattor over unreservedly aud de
cide whether it would be best to dis
band the Board or to continue its or
ganization.
W. M. Hair spoke briefly, saying
that a good active Uoard or iraue
was of the greatest imjmrtance and
ho believed such a board could lie or
ganized.
Dr. Moore madu a few remarks em
phasizing the necessity that the efforts
of the Board should be seconded by
tlio merchants.
B. Thomas said he would regret to
o tlio Board discontinue. Ho con
sidered it a very essential orgnniza-
ion. As a suggestion, he advanced
the Idea that if more business should
be done in open meeting of the whole
Hoard it might, perhaps, awaken a
livi'lier and more general interest.
D. H. Stovall said that the citizens
were Licking in co-operation. Every
citizen should lie a member of the
Board and my his dues regularly.
CoL J. S. Crawford said that while
he was an old mail, us a citizen of
Grants Puss, lie was an infant, hut
that ho had adopted the town and in
tended to remain here. Ho realized
tlio grand possibilities of Grants Pass
as tho geographical center of Southern
Oregon and expected to see it a city
of many thousands. Tho Board of
Trade represents tho town' best citi
zens and it is to the interest of every
man to uphold it. All the elToUsof the
Board will bring a four fold return
Arthur Conkliu said tho Board
must bo maintained. Ho believed
Grunts Pass litis the brightest future
of any town in Southern Oregon. We
should get together aud organize a
vigorous Board.
CoL Crawford said that in tho great
cities, the Boards of Trade wero com
posed of men of tho highest standing.
A Board of Trade is a standard of re
liability. Iu Grants Pass we have the
right material on which to build. We
should unite as one, man aud work for
the common interest.
On motion tho Board proceeded with
the election of officers. IL L. Gil
key moved that an informal ballot lie
taken and that the two men recuiving
the highest number of votes should
bu declared president and vico-prcsi-deut.
This plan was adopted and iu
the following ballot tho names of K.
Thomas, R. L. Coo, Col. J. S. Craw
ford aud H. L. Gi'.key apiwurcd. Mr.
Thomas, receiving tho greatest vote,
was declare president and R. L. Coe,
vice-president.
For secretary, Arthur Conkliu
moved that Dennis H. Stovall bo re
elected and that the president cimt the
ballot. Mr. Stovall, however, declined
the nomination for a further term of
office. The name of Arthur Conkliu
was iroKsod by H. O. Bobzieu but
Mr. Conkliu also declined. H. L.
Gilkey then presented tho name of
Fred Mensch. No further nomina
tions apis'ared and the secretary cast
the ballot for Mr. Mensch.
for treasurer, 11. Ij. Gilkey was
uiiauiniously elected to succeed him
self.
For the other threo members of the
executive committee, the names of W.
M. Hair, J. A. Shiver, Col. J. S.
Crawford, Arthur Conkliu mid Dr. J.
S. Mooro were proposed. The three
receiving the highest number of votes
wore Hair, Crawford and Conkliu,
who Were elected.
H. U Gilkey, on behalf of the
Woman's Club, offered tho following
resolutions:
"Whereas, The Woman's club of
Grant Pass are using their Is-st en
deavor to establii.li a free library-,
reading room and gymnasium iu this
city, therefore be it
Resolved, That this Hoard of Trade
lend them every encouragement aud
mil within our means and
Resolved, That we assure the said
Woman's I'U.b that ill the event of
their securing a donation from An
drew Carnegie sufficient to erect a
suitable building for such library,
that we will make provisions for a
lot or site for the said building."
This resolution was unanimously
adopted. A vole ot thanks was
tendered the retiring president and
secretary for their faithful and earn
est labors in behalf of the Board and
the meeting v. as then adjourned.

Provolt Item.
i Ue high water of the past week
has served to emphasize the need of
another bridge over Williams creek
between Provolt and Williams. At
present the maiu traveled road crosses
Williams creek at a ford about a mile
below Williams post office.
On top of all tho other disaster, on
Monday about noon, a terrible Chi
nook wind rose and blew down a num
ber of flue, large pines. This is not
serious, hewever, as tho saw mills
will doubtless make arrangement for
converting them into saw logs at
once.
The voluntary weather observer at
Williams reports that during the 24
hours of Friday night and Saturday
tliero iell six inches of rain. This
seems au exaggeration but we shall
excuse him this time as the occasion
seems to warrant extravagance of
speech, ev. n in a weather bureau
officiaL
It is the universal verdict of the
Williams and Apphgate valley
farmers that we have experienced the
worst floods iu the past week of any
time since the winter of ISiki. One
careful oWrver rcHirts that Williams
creek reached tho high water mark of
ISWatthe Provolt bridgo on Satur-
.lay. In other tilacv. howtv,p Will.
iaius did not seem quite so high as be
fore. During high water, such as we l,,l
last Wednesday and Saturday, it it
iuiwsible to ford Williams creek aud
o the stage was omivlled to remain
at Williams on these days. There is
I another road to Williams, called the
j mountain raid, but it is impassable at
present and often so at other times.

to "Williams the creek cut into the
banks until it loosened a large tree
which, falling, dammed the creek and
turned it so that it cut another chan
nel down across the road and through
J. W. Turrey's garden land nearly all
of which was washed away. Another
bridge must be constructed imme
diately as it is impossible to cross
Powell creek at present
Jacob Struss, Jr., has recently re
ceived returns from the Rosebnrg
creamery for the cream he had been
sending on a month's trial. He esti
mates that for butter fat he receives
as much as if he sold the butter at 55
cents per roll. Ranch butter is sell
ing in Grants Pass at CO cents per
roll ; so Mr. Struss concludes that 'tis
the most profitable to sell cream Bnd
aave the butter making. This is rea
sonable, aud what is to bo regretted is
that there is not a creamery in Jose
nhine county to manufacture the Jose-
nhtiiA (onntT-Tream. Other farmers
in this valley besides Mr,. Struss arc
shipping cream and the growth of the
country will soon demand a creamery
at home. A paying busiuess awaits
the pioneer in this field. Who will it
be?
Lew Smith, the genial Provolt
merchant and blacksmith, narrowly
escaped death by drowning while re
turning from Grants Pass with a load
of merchandise last Saturday. This
was the day of the heavy rains and
many of the streams were up to the
high water mark. When Mr. Smith
ivched the bridge over an ordinarily
small creek near Alonzo Hyde's farm
and drove mon it, tho off horse went
through the bridge and the shock
threw Lew into the water. By good
luck, the vehicle stood firm and the
goods were saved. It was several
minutes before Mr. Smith recovered
his footing in the torrent und climbed
ashore. The accident was caused by a
stringer of the bridge washing away,
thus letting the planks float without
other support. AlZ,
