Attracting most favorable ino.itiou both locally nud abroad the Gal ice Consolidated Mines Company has gone steadily ahead with tlio up building of its rich and extensive placer properties of Galice Creek iu the northern part of this county. The Galice district as a whole is con sidered ono of the richest in placer and quartz in tho stato. Until a few years ago this famous old camp slept iu the contentment and enjoyment of i's own bountiful resources, the ir.- of lumber per day. This lumber was used in building flumes and bridges along the line of the new ditches, sluices in the mines and several houses, while enough is stacked up at tho mill to provide for the proper working of tho different mines during tho winter. Four separate mines are'already in operation, each with a separate string of pipe from 10(10 to 15,000 feet long, giants, tools, hydraulic, derricks, eto. Tlio uses to which water conihied estimated that thero is a great more gold in tho bed of the It is deal creek than when it was first discover ed by Louis Galico iu I80O. All mining men, practical aud theoretical, aro loud iu their praise of the energy displayed by Manager A. B. Cousin, 1 iu formulating and perfecting plaus for tho successful working of over Hvo miles of this creek bed, and deeui tho conditions favorablo and the scheme entirely feasible and practicable. 7 A two story frame, house of ten rooms was built last summer for headquarters at tho mouth of Oalice Creek facing Rogue . river, whwli, with bunk houses, . blacksmith shop and lumber piles make a hnsiness-like looking nun p.

Now the times have changed; tl.o demand for good mines is just as great as was tlio demand for our timber, and from the excel lent showing in gold output from tho poorly equipped mines, it was not hard lo induce capital to invest in any meritorious mining property. The placers with adequate water supply and plenty of ground aro now tlio favorites with tlio small investors.

Under date of October 10, tho Chicago Tribune's New York corres pondent says: . "The Longshoreman's Union, ac cording to tin agreement which it is uow making with employers as to I wages aud hours of labor, has taken a firm stand flu the temperance question. Tho agreement contains this clause: "No beer, whisky, or other intoxi cant shall bo brought uxn tho prem ises of tho company, nud it is distinct ly understood that no worker or boss shall lo pcrmitteed to work while In an intoxicated condition. "In two spoeltil agreements which have been uiadu there is a clause to the affect that Ice water containing oatmeal shall bo supplied ou the pier where the longshoremen work, "This Is to discourage tho men from visiting saloons. " . the saloon keeper, as some folks do, It takes two, every time, to make successful temptation. " Iu the vestibule of a beautiful library, erected iu memory ot a woman whose gentle faoe looks down upon everyone who passes the (treat doors, is a bronse tablet with then lines: ' "The good she triod to do shall stand as if 'twer done: . God finishes the work by noble souls begun." Only two linos, bat how clearly they tell the story of that life of the eager dreaming and purposes of It and finally the resignation to the message that the task was not for her. Was all the life and hope pat into it lost? The splendid building with it open doors is an eloquont answer. Vfork for God ucver can be " lost " When everything goes against Jo, till it seems as if yon could not hold out a mlnnto longer, never aive no then-It is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
