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

Into the greatest mineral distrit In

LOCAL OPTION MEETING'ORO PINO CYANIDE PLANT
Kelsav, Knox and Others at) the
Opera House.
A meeting in behalf of the projiosed
local option law was held on Thursday
evening iu the opera house with a
rather small attendance. The meeting
was fsddrrssud by R. W. Kelsiy. while
entertainnient was furnished by W.
Kugeue Kuoi, tho imx rsonatcr and a
'trio composed of Mr. Knox, II. I.
Hockott and E. A Newby. Mr.
Knox's iHirtiou of tho entertainnient
was highly amusing aud immensely
entertaining Mr. Kelsay gavo brief
talks between thn readings aud the
songs. He advanced tho customary ar
guments in favor of prohibition, re
garding tho proposed law as a means
to that end. The meeting ended with
an appeal by Mr. Kelsay for subscrip
tions to curry ou the work. Ho inti
mated that each one of the audience
owed a dollar for tho i ntertainmeiit
furnished by Mr. Knox, but few, it
was noticed, appeared to bn in an)
great hurry to liquidate the debt. He
apjmsled to tho audience that each one
should do bis very bust, impressing
that point by a story, stated as a real
occurrence, of a swimmer who plung
ed into a surf running so high that it
was impossible to launch a life boat,
sw imming to tho sinking ship, swim
ming buck to shore carrying a perish
lug human being aud repenting this
remarkable performance no less than
2U times before he at length fell ex

manager of tho Oro Fiuo mine, ou
Juinp-off-Joe Creek, near this city.
Mr. Chase received word from him

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.

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.

dissolved; T. J. Mackin will contiue
the business. K. O. Virtue hud iu

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

We are satisfied with the nomina

suppose to avoid the rush. Husinces
