A MNOR Entered at the post office at Grant Oregon, as aecond-clasa mail matter. THURSDAY. APRIL. 2, 190X The Jackson county deleifation will, it is sitid, support W. I. Vawtcr for randidiicv bh rnnirrcHgnnill in the rnm ing republican congresiiioiiiil coiivon- Admiral Dewier nnido some com iiuriHoua tmtwwn the Ann-rioim and Giiriuiiu mivlcs which wero not relish ed by the latter people. The German print waxed qaite indiniuint over liift ronutrki and it looked for awhile, us though it iniK'it bo an nlTiilr for tin department of Hluri) to settle. Oil In vitation of the president, however, the admiral called at tho White Houm) and delivered himself of the assurance that no nffniiHO wits in tended. This is lield to bo suflleienl salvo for the injured Teittniiic' pride anil the curtain may be considered dropped and the comedy over. The project of a public library, for which (lie mass meeting is to ho bold on Friday evening, is one which should command attention and di serves the support of all citizens who have at heart tho public welfare. The project involves some exiienso and de mands some generosity on the part of those who will sen no direct benefit resulting to themselves for those who profit by tint library are, generally speaking, not tho ones whose mouey supjsirU it. There are few men, liowevor, who will grudgo mi expeii dituru when they can see no Individ ual benefit reuniting for themselves. A mini is indebted to society for all the comforts which he may enjoy and this fact should make him generous toward his fellow mail in general. In tho rush tor timber lands which is now going on throughout Southern Oregon, tho miners should watch the lis'atious carefully and be ready with their protests if timber locations are made upon ground claimed by them. A better way is for every miner who owns a mining claim which might possibly bo located ukiii as timber land to semi in a plat of bis mining bind to tho .land office, and a timlier location on thai piece, of land will not then Is) allowed, l.'verv miner should know tho location of his ground by notion, townshin and range and should carefully watch the timber locations. It would lie, a good thing for the miners to select some ono to keep ail eye on tho timlmr loca tions and let each one furiilHli that Hrson with a description of their ow n mining land. Tho projii't of a wagon road from i-S'iaim to tut Koubcii, which Is to be laid before tho county court this week, is one or great imiKirtanco to tho county This road has I n talked of before, but at no time has the time for Hction In this matter been more auspicious than at tho present.. The miiio owners of Mt. Koubcii give the assurance of completing tho road to the m I nea if the county will build it from Lcliiud to Reuben creek. Mt. ReuU'ii is one of the most important mining districts in the county and is growing in imiNirtauee every day. There will bo a mimlicr of big qnaru mines in ochitltii there in t lie m ar future mid this road is domi.ndcil both for the convenience or the mine own itkiiiuI the promotiou of development and for the cniniuerclal and industrial welfare of Josephine county. The Hoard of Trade is making an effort for thu collection of an exhibit from Josephine county for the Oregon bureau of Informal ion at 1 'oi l land. It is the intent nm that all the pro ducts and enterprises of the county aliiill 1k represented and the i nhibit is intended to include mineral, timlicr, agricultural ami fruit products. The most innsirtant juirt of the exhibit will bo the minerals and it is to their collection that the Hoard Is giving its Iwrticuli.r attention. Nothing can be done, however, without the co oicrii tiou of the miners and mine owners. A request lias been made to them for specimens, hut thus far, few re turns have been received. Some of the-miiiers have" rescinded promptly! and to such the movers in the enter prise nil particularly guileful Others have signified their Intention of giv ing specimens as soon as they can .cure them. Hut to the ureal major ity of the mpiesti, no response has been received. The bureau in IVrl bind is anxious to receive these sis-cl mens which will In- placed on exhibi tion in the I'ulon ib'isit, where tie y w ill tie seen by all incomers The railroads will carry these exhibits free of charge.

The Galice Hydraulic Mining Co. ... ... . :n ,... are installing a saw nun n' mouth of Galice creek, to cut lumber for buildi-iK aud flumes. A number of butm. and boarding houses will be erected near the mouth of the creek and this will Is- made the brndinart ers of tho cump. A hotel for the ac commodation of transient travel will also be a feature of the new camp. As soon as arrangements can be made, tho crock bed will be ouciu d by a fiume at the mouth of the creek and the bedrock ol the channel will In swept by the giants. The creek bed of Gulico was worked many years ago by means of pan, rockrr and sluice and is known as ono of the richest creeks iu Sou horn Oregon. KxiTi- enccd miners judge the project of sweeping out the creek bod as one which should prove profitable iu a large degree. The creek lias sullicicnt fall to make the project feasible. He sides the gold, certainly a con.-i.l -r-able amount, which must have be. n left in the enck after ls ing winked by the old primitive methods, then has Is en an accumulation of gold iu tlie creek bed ever fince, or for n period of more tlinii 40 years, throng! breaking down of the higher channels', by thu wash from tlie gulches and by slides. The "tailings" from tin workings of the immense chan nels, notably those of tlie old Aukeuy diigiiiKK. which were dumped into Galice creek, yield good returns now for piping, as they have beconu docoiniKisod through years of exposuri to thv elements. Hesides tlie creek bed, the bars of Galice without exception pay good ri turns when worked vvith reasonahli facilities and judgment, and some of tin-in have proven remarkably rid There are a number of low bars, know n to be rich ground, whose work ing has been diHteuIt heretofore ol account of lack of dumping facilities. After the creek bi d has been let down to bedrock, the working of these bars will he an easy matter. Ilesides the ground which is in sight, there is known to be considerable grave covered up by slides and which will be exposed by tlie operation of the giants. The higher bars along tin lower part of the creek's course an rich iu gold, but their working has heretofore been hamis-rcd by lack water. Tlie company will extend their diteli from upper Galice and will bring their magnificent watt right to bear on these gravel deposits. The gold of Galice is on the coarse order and is very heavy, making it easy to save. It is of a high dcgrei of purity and commands a high price in tho markets. Tho management of thu enterprise- is in the bauds of A. 11. Cousin, who has bad considerable hydraulic exjicriouoii ou Gnlioe and is one of the most enterprising and suc cessful mining nu n in the state. CORPORATION TAX LAW Advertised Letters.

The objection to the former is its retarding elicit on mining de velopment and this view of tlie oast is well stated by W. C. Cowgill, city editor of the Baker Citv Democrat in recent interview published ill the Orcgniiiaii. He savs : You can say that the mining men of eastern Oregon, as well as those of southern Oregon, tire a unit in t heir opposition to the bill passed by the r nt legislature placing a special tax and very heavy premium upon ail corporations, and particiilarlv mining uinp.iuics, for the very privilege of having a name. mining men do not believe that Governor Chamberlain wasfullv .ilviseil of the facts in the case, or be would have vetoed this bill. I'nder its provisions the prnsiicctor, the pioneer, the discoverer, the small mine owner, has no show w hatever to develop his property or profit by bis discovery. The extremely high tax based on capital stock, is prohibitory.
