Tho wagon road to Gulico Is a mut ter which is of great interest to Grants Puss in view of tho immense amount of mining machinery which is to hit Installed during tho prow ut year. Tho present road is only a trail, dug wider and is lni nsHible with anything liko decent loads. It is announced that unless tho road is overhauled and put ou a reK cliiMo grade, ono of these companies will put iu a road to another railroad point and if this is done it will doubtless curry tho tralllo ot the dis trict. A few hundred dollars sih.miI ou the present route would retain the . trade, which may otherwise get away. Wo doubt if tho business men of this city as a class, fully realize tho ini jKjitang. of this matter. The lialice district is making enormous progress and thu big properties which are open ing w ill create a rich and populous camp. A few hundred dollars invent ed iu roads w ill bring thousands of dollars lu business. Tho recent heavy Investments in Southern Oregon mines should silence, for a timn at least, those ctoukes who are forever asserting to now comers and prospective investors that "this is uo mining county" anil that "there are no mines here. " A district where over (1,000,000 has been Invested inside of mouth, is cetainly a milling county, anil rucli bus been tho record of Southern Oregon, Jose phluo and Jackson counties iu the pits! mouth. Outside of theso investments, tho largo Improvements and enormous plants which are being iustulled, far surpasses those of uuy previous time iu the history of tho district. Three smelters, two of them of 1K) ton capacity, aro to bo placed ou Jose phine county copper proiicrtica during the summer, and stamp mills and cyauldo plants m being placid In every direction. Tho cupper proper ties especially, are receiving equip ments this year and tho fact that the hngu mineralized dikes liko tho Yank lode of llallce ou which are located the Dig Yank mine, the Atlvu mine and the Alineda, are found to be pay ing prniiosltioiis, Is of immense Inter est to this district. These mines which aro being equipped aro far from being tho only ones of their rhurncter which exist iu the district Thero are ninny cither properties Just s good awaiting development and the equipment of tho first w ill stimulate the dcvcolpincnt of the others.' In view of thn present investments ami ols rations, it is not too much to ex I't that Josephine county in profit tlon to Its extent, will ho developed Into the greatest mineral distrit In Hie world. The city council at its adjourned meeting last. Wednesday evening lifted from the table till ordinance which the majority or the citizens supposed had been put there to star, and made It a city law.

The complete cyanide plant formerly iu use at the Darnell mine, oear Kala- ' ma, lias been purchased for 8. Chase, manager of tho Oro Fiuo mine, ou Juinp-off-Joe Creek, near this city. Mr. Chase received word from him representative at Kab.ina, and that tho plant would bo placed abnaid the cars at ooce. The plant was original ly au expensive one, but was bcught at a bargain by Mr. Chase. It is 50 tons' capacity. The Oro Fino has been under devel- opment for over a year by Mr. Chase, and during that time has made a splen- did showing. The ore body is large, the values being main!; base, and run- uiug from fj to $10, making it au ex-1 cellent cyaniding proposition Mr, Chase lias worked very quietly aud is somewhat reticent about giving out anything concerning the Oro Finn, preferring, as he statu, "to wait till w have a mlno. " However, he admits tho present prospects are very encour aging for the Oro Fino becoming a mine in the near future, as both the oro and values aro a known quantity, and the plant will be installed shortly. The plant will be received at Merlin, eight miles north of Grant's Pass, and liiiuled to the Oro Fiuo from there, the distance qeiug less and the roads bet. ter.

Mr. liennett of Placer, mado out burg a call last week. Ho la interest ed in a quart, mine on the extension ot the John Hall mine. Ills ledgo is about two feet wide and shows up plenty of free gold. He is running a tunnel to tap the ledge about 80 feet from tho surface. A good deal of prospecting will be done in that vicinity this summer. The firm of Virtue & Mackin has dissolved; T. J. Mackin will contiue the business. K. O. Virtue hud iu tercsts in quartz mines oil Mt. Reu ben, where ho is running a long tuu uel to tap the ledge at a greater depth. The friends of Mr. Virtue are sorry to lose him, but his health would not permit him to he indoors so much. He nlso needs niorii physical exercise aud less mental exertion. The quartz miners hero are turning their utletitiou towards Tunnel 9, where several ledges are known to exist. Itdgcs have been found in this vicinity and partially develos, but for want of capital, they are lying idle. The ledges show more sulphates than free gold.
