Tlio following is nu extract from a letter pnlilinht-d in tlio Kews&Tiiuoa, .of Uraftou, X. Dak, by Mr. S. E. Bates, now in onr city, who lias re cently taken a homestead near Waldo. In conclusion of the ettcr, Sirs." Eateg guvs: "Aa soon as the roads improve, it is my desiro to tako a timber claim, for tlio more I see of Ori son the more I want to possess of it," "My arriving lionr at Grouts Puss was midnight, and as the cajiacity of the livo hotels in the city is taxed to the utmost, the hotel ruuners are not very much in evideuco at tlio midnight trains but I managed to find someone to help my (laughter nud myself with onr numerous grips, to a hotel. I was car- sick and tired, and retired with a poor opinion of the towu I had uot yet seeu. Consequently tlio scene presented to mo in the, morning was 1 pleasant surprise. There, nestled among the hills w ith 8 snow capped mountains- 111 the distance, at au alti tude of a thousand feet, ou the north bank of the linguo river, tlio sun of want seemed like our Inildcst May morning iu Dakota, was easting itR gold .'ii beams over the-already green lawns of Grants Pass an incorporated city of about 3,000, and tho county seat of Josephine conuty. Good, sub stantial brick blocks wcro everywhere visible, and I find all lines of profess ional and coiniaerei il life represented, while an exceptionally choico lino of up-to-date, go'uls is displayed by tho lu rch, in!s. Tho business men of the city are progressive, energetio, pub lic-spirited and nuited in all that tends to tho development of the city; an active Board of Trade is over ou the alert for the interests of Grants Pass. The moral tone of the city, I shonld say is high, if the eight com modious and beautiful churches are any criterion. And it is uoticeablo that what upK-ar to lie tlio represen tative meu and women of the place aro found actively interested In church work. The public schools accommo- lato 800 pupils mid an addition will soon be under way of construction. There aro kindergarten and primary departments and grammar and high school, the latter covering a course of four years. Uud T the supervision of a pi-iuci; al, l." teachers aro em ployed. Grants IVs is the shipping point for nearly lliu entire; business of the county; and when it is remembered that Josephine county boasts tho finest tinnier, richest mines and some of tlio best agricultural lands in Southern Oregon, a realization of the extent of this business will be better realized. This business is increasing yearly as the county continues to develop its rich resources. Oregonians do not build on the success or failuru of one crop; are not at the mercy of the elements. With timber, mining, graiu and fruit raising to draw from, the support of the county is always as sured. Southern Oregon is. not. ux pcrieiiVingn boom that will eventually fall Hat; miles of heavy timber aro here to speak for themselves aen s of which, tlio choicest of white prno and sugar pine, aro still uiiHiirveyed. I'.ieii mines, that for the past 4."r years tnd more have yielded paying returns to 1 1 iti must siipcrlicial ininiuir, now, through the agency of modern machin ery and appliances, and capital, are just beginning to be appreciated, l or instance six years ago, the gold output of Oregon amounted to Jl.tieO, .'til, nearly one. half of which was mined ill Southern Oregon, tho largest fur '.'0 Years. Today, good authority estimates the output as nearly live tines that much, while rich new striircs are constantly rejiorted, and ledges kunwn to be valuable aro still untouched. Copper mines of extra ordinary richness have Im ii known to ei:-t ill tin- southern iart of Josephine county, which lack of capital has so fir prevented being successfully worked, but a rniiijiany with requisite on ans are now prewiring to open them. As iu North Dakota nothing but wle at was raised in pioneer days, be cause the soil lay waiting the sower and that commodity commanded the hiirlicst price, fo in plum cr days did On goniuns turn to mining, and of the most stii rfieial kind, as the source easiest to realize relies, liut with the advent of the railroad, the timls r interests were devclojird and jieople entered looking for permanent homes that could bn quickly made without much capital ciend'-d. The most in ditferent methods of farming rewarded the tiller with a comfortable suhit eii -e and little more was atteuiited in the majority of can. s. As the rich resources and conditions liocame kinMi and the ri mar' able adaptabil ity of Southern Oregon to all kinds of fruit raising, as wit as grains, en crgetie eastern agriculurists are avail lug tiieuiselv-s of these opporun i t ies and a new era iu agriculture is ojk n iug to this portion of Oregon. Apples, piunis, pruie pears, js-uches ami an endless v.iri-y i f grajs-s are success fully rallied; apples and grajss -jscially prolific and choice, Is-siib-s all the small fruits. The fact that Josephine county is so traversed by a net work of nr.-ams tributary to the I'.ogue rive', Appb gate, and Illinois I river, invites the confidence of the 'agriculturist still further bTau of t Ik- assurance of ready and jasy irriga tion. As the mines are Iscoming ..roughly and more extensively do Vr!i'd, and m ones opened, as agriculture and fruit raising is ts-iom-iug more ext. ndi d and varied and suc cessful, as the vast tracts of timbrr In Southern Oregon and across the Cali fornia line aro being takeu every day brings new parties iu search of timber the necessity for more extensive shipping facilities than the Southern Pucilic affords becomes more impera tive, and the survey made from Grants Pass to Crescent City, California, lust, year will result in the building of tho desired railroad for which the mining and timber interests of both states cauuot afford to wait many mouths more. Fortunate is the person who, having capital to invest, desires timber land, or who is looking for a locution in business, mokoB Southern Oregon his objective point within the uext few montliB; but if ho would have the choicest timber, it mast bo within the nest few weeks. I would not represent Southern Ore gon as quite a paradise, for, although a health resort, ami during most of the year, ideal, I obsorvo that doctors and undertakers are uot without em ployment at this particular point, and should judge that there are tbreo or four months out of the 12 that are not ulwuys ideal. Still they compare favorably with tho six or seven mouths of snow and cold and storms in other localities, oud the efforts to maintain life, health and prosperity need be far lesrf strenuous." IT'S TOM EAST'S TUNNEL Origin of Ancient Tunnel Found M He.ll Mines I11 an articlo iu last week's Courier in regard to the Hall group of mines on Grave creek, mention was made of the finding of an ancient tunnel with tho surface covered up nud tbe existenco of the tunnel olmost entirely coueealed. The! circumstance started the memories of the old timers to work and Henry Yokum recalls that this tunnel was driven almost 60 years ago, about tlio year of IMS, by an English man named Tom East, who was among the very first of tho miners and pros pectors to operate on tho creek. The position of thn timbers about the mouth of the tunnel seems to indicate that East had concealed tho work purposely. Tho name of Tom East is perpetuat ed in this county by a small tributary of Grave creek which is named for him, "Tom East creek." Though rather iiisignilleent iu size, it is famous for having two of the best mines iu Southern Oregon, quartz and placer, tho Greenback and tho Colum bia, situated along its course. A good many of the earlier settlers in this county remember Tom East. Ho died about tbreo years ago r.ear the mouth of Hoguo river whero he had lived for a good many years with an Indian wife. East is credited w ith having killed a number of Indians and Chinamen during his stay in Southern Oregon. S. Isham of this city pulled him off a Chinaman whom ho was trying to drown in a mudhole, some time iu the 'CiO's, and saved the life of tho Celestial. For this action, he incurred Eust's life long enmity. Tom East was one of the products of an age which is past for Southern Oreogu, and there aro few of his type now living. He died in ixiverty and obscurity. THE "RED BEAN" BONDED Thos. D. Scott of CMce.10 Will Develop the Property. Tho "Kid Heitii" mine, otherwise known as thn Higgs-Klainin, 011 Green mountain, was bonded last week by Thos. 11. Sis tt of Chicago lor (r.'.UtiO, of which au initial payment of 1,0"" has Is'eii mad". A crew of lie n has Is .11 put to work to develop thn mine and it will probably soon be cqiiipicd with stamp mill and other machinery for operation. Tho "Kcdliean" was the pnqicrty of 1$. W. Kiggs, Wm. Flamiii and I'.eii Evans, all of Grants Pass, and was discovered by theni ulsiut two years ago. It is located on Green moun tain, which lies between Cow creek and tho head of Grave creek, ami is situated ou "Hog 'em" gulch, u small triburary of Cow creek. The ore at the surface wus worked, yielding excel, lent returns. There is a tunnel tup ping tin- ledge at a depth of about :Ai feet and at that depth the ledge has a width of nearly eight feet, currying average values of t.'ll per ton. Some of the ore taken from the ledge has been remarkably rich. While at pres ent the property is scarcely more than a proHiet, it is one of very great promise nud baa all indications of be coming a great mine. Milt Arms trong of Medford lias ls-eii engaged to take charge of the development work which w ill Is- pushed as fust us jms sible. MORE SISW0UC0PPER New Find of Red Mete.1 Reported From Yreke.. W. D.

Schley, tho gallant here of Santiago, passed through Grunts Pass Sunday evening. I he opjsirt unity to greet so great a man as the admiral wus not lost ou tlio people of Grunts Puss and a large crowd was assembled at the diqsit. To the di.supimhitmciit of many the train was scheduled for 7 o'clock, au hour behind time. Thn crowd dis peihcd iii view of the long wait and when the whistle sounded alsmt li minutes before 7, many of thei.i "had to hurry," in order to see and hear the gnat num. Tho bund was out in force but hud little time for playing. Admiral and Mrs. Schley wore, in trodui ed to tlie assembled jsopln from tin' rear end of the train by Mayor I'ashor. The admiral made a brief speech telling of his favorable impres sion of Oregon aud of its Js-oplo. He said that It was the first time lie had ever Iseii in Oregon, but that after Is ing lu re once, ho would sure ly w ish to return. His remarks were quite brief as he sensibly said just enough and quit. Ho then leaned over the railing of the rear platform and shook bands with the ieople who pressed up for that purpose. The admiral beurs as close resem blaucn to bis pictures as can be imagined. He is about nu ilium height aud rather slender. llu is dignified without being arrogant and bis manner is unassuming and m usi hie. His whole appearance is that of the nun whom the west, rner loves to gleet, lie has no grand airs aud is not pulled up with bis greatness. Mrs.K cli ley aps an d as a Wry bund mime and pleasant lady and all the party were gisid nntured and cour teous. The tarty consisted of Admiral and Mrs. Schley, Colonel and Mrs. No cture of i'hlludelphiu, and Misses Curtin and Welsh.

It was painted iu largo letters advertising; a certain brand of whiskey. It read: " Whiskey, that's all." I began to reflect upon the adver tisement. It is evidently a very sad misstatement, and I coiioluded it should road: " Whiskey, that's not all." Not all of temptation to those who am tempted to tako the first glass.

Ah, my advertising frieud, you made a mlstako in saying "that's alL" For crimes innumerable are laid at whiskey's door, and sorrows indescribable follow its victims. O. E. Cornell Worklngmen and Saloons. The labor unions aud the church ought to unite for the destruction of the un-Amerlcau liquor saloon. Tho saloon is the spider, anil his web is American life, aud the overwhelm ing majority of the human flies caught in that web are worklngineii. Tho Christian church would kill the spider, and destroy the web; it seeks a hundred thousand young men who every year are caught and engulfed in tho loathsome net The labor unions ought to help os. We are uot fighting liberty, but we are warring against license and lust and greed, and battling to save mankind. I call for alliance, otTenisve aud defensive ls9 twocn the churches and the labor unions to overthrow aud banish the liquor saloons. No other one thing would help either the church or work logmen half so much as that. Supjiose every saloon were a work iugmau's tank. Suppose that all the laborer sjsiiids for beer and whiskey were saved, aud paid ou a house and lot for his home. Can anyone doubt the laborers ol America would be far liettcr oh than they now are? The church, in opisstlng the saloon, is the workliigmun'l greatest friend. Would that he would learn to be friend himself. Dr. Louis Albert Bauks. Names Wanted.
