The Galice Consolidated Mines Co.
is ojieratiug several giants on that
stream this winter. One of them is
working near the mouth of the creek
on what was formerly the Merrill
prois-rty. This ground was idle for
many years on account of a lack of
water to work It properly but it has
always been recognized as rich and
some of tlio work done on a small
scale ny gulch water yielded astonish
ing returns considering the amount of
ground sluiced away. With plenty of
water tho operation of this ground by
the pres ut company cannot fail to Le
exceedingly lucrative. Dan Green
is acting as foreman for this opera
tion and hii long exp-rii nee iu placer

peculiarly clllcieut man for this posi
tion. Next season it is likely that the
company's project for opening the
creek at the uioutii ami aiuiciug oui

will be consummated.

An appireiitlv innocent bill with
tlie"avowed intention of co.reotieg the
abuses of the stone and timber act,
has b en introduced in the U. S. Sen
ate fathered by Senator Hansbrough
of North Dukota. The bill is entitled
"A bill to repeal the slouo and timber
act and commutation laws."
Why Senator Hansbrough should
take such au active part in the inter
est of the timber qu stion, represent
ing as be does a state where then) is
absolutely no timber. Is not stated.
There is, however, a deep laid scheme
apparent tn manipulate the law iu the
interest of the land sorippiug syndi
cates. There is at present in th'
hands of syndicates and cr utrncted by
less than half a dozen persons, sufll
ch ut scrip to cover about a billion
acres of timber lands. This scrip can
I' placed on lands at any time and
wherever vacant laud ran be found.
If tho stone and timber act is repealed
it puts the timber lands out of reach
of the people in that the serippcr has
the fir-1 opportunity to place his scrip
and ho has unlimited time in which
to cruise the laud and select the best
timbered sections. Representatives of
tin) stripping syndicates have been in
this section for months past cruising
the timber. It was nee.es.-ary for them
to make reports to tho homo oflice but
before instructions could be leturned
the land was filed on under thu stone
and timber act. This was very annoy
ing to them and shortly the news came
thut valuable timbered sections in
Josephine county and all surroundiug
couuties was set aside as a forest re
serve.
If tlio stone aud timber
acts is repealed the vilue of serin
will lie greatly increased. Olio dol
lar on the aero would mean legislating
1 1, 000, 000, 000 into tho hands of the
syndicate and an increase of $10 per
aero would mean 110. 000. 000. 000.
placed In their pockets by the repeal
of this act.
Now is the timo to protest against
this bill. A few days delay may be
fatal to the timber interest. Letters
and telegrams of protust should lie sent
to legislators and tlio co-operation of
surrounding counties and states solic
ited. It is not a personal motivo only
that prompts mo to take this stand, as
I believe that every business man of
Grants Pass and of the Pacific coast
is equally Interested.
