Tho following statement lias been issued by the Galico Rousolmated Mines Co. iu T.iew of their recent ac quirement of 700 acrei of additional grouud : Tho acquisition of 100 acres of valu able adjacent placer miuiiijt ground has been iu couteuiplatiou for some time, aud iu anticipation of the sua- cess of tho gravol levators now being tested by tho coiupauy, purchased outright all tho available ground from tho mouth ol Oalice Creek down Uogue River for a distauoo of three- qunrters of a mile. Guoiblerg' Bar; ths greater lr' which was owned by tho coniiiany, has beeu a famous rendezvous for busted prospectors iu summer time as good wages could always ba made by panning or with a rocker. Nearly every winter Rogue river runs over this bar for a week or two so that permanent improvements In tho way oneuiiiK it un have uever beeu ill ndo. We acuuirod this property before the formation of Galico Consolidated, aud while it was of well-known rich uess. wo did not consider it feasible to be opened by tho regular hydraulic method as a bedrock race out to Koenn river would not drain it properly or afford sufficient dump, and it was not until tho hydraulic elevators wore perfected within the past few years that it wus thought practical to work thoso low river bars. Now it is feasible under the pressuro from our high ditches, which are bo iug extended to this ground, to set one giant piping directly op a steel tube 15 to 80 inches iu diameter to elevate this ground to a height of tiO feet or more with a dump of tho samo height into Rogue River and thus do away with too adverse teature oi drainage and dump. Hundreds of affidavit as to the richness ;of the grouud are available, and wo have personally and thoroughly prospoet the ground before purchase, and Mr. Cousiu has seen tho ground opened up a number of times and bus tested it during the past 11 years with the view ot ultimately working it by this process. It was decided to put machinery on this bar during (In coming summer, aud in view ii in creased valuatiou of similar adjacent property, resulting from successful operations on our part, it was deemed advisablo to purchase all available territory that could bo covered by our ditche.i before starting active work A largo crew of men will bo put to work immediately extending the ditches, aud it is possible to have one or two uleators in operation cm tl new ground iu fiO days. Numerous improvements and enlargement will bo made to our eutiro equipment and it is proposed to bring tho waters from both forks of Galico Creek and the intervening gulchen to bear Uon tho lower part of the creek and the river bars.

The- following letter from Ileury Ward Deecher to his son ia authentic, and should bo carefully pondered by every young man : My Dear Herbert : You aro now for tho first timo fairly lnnuehod into life for yourself. You go from your father's houso and from all family ouiiections to make your owu way iu the world. It is a good timo to make a new start, to enst out faults of whoso evil you have had au experi ence and to take 011 habits tho want of which you have found to ho so damaging. 1. You must not get into debt. Mako it a fundamental rule : No debt cash or nothing. 3. Make few promises. Religious ly observe oveu tho smullest promise, A man who means to keep his prom ises cannot afford to mako many. II. He scrupulously careful iu all statements. Accuracy und perfect tiiinkness, no guesswork. Kither nothing or accurate truth. 4. When working for others sink yourself out ot sight; seek their in terest. Mako yourself necessary to thoso who employ you, by industry, fidelity and scrupulous infergily. Selfishness is fatal. 6, Hold yourself resoiisiblu for a higher standard than anybody olso exxcts of you. Demand more ot yourself than nnyhody else expects of you. Keep your personal standard high. Never oxcuso yourself to your self. Never pity yourself. Iio a hard master to yourself; bo lenient to everybody else. . Concentrate your force 011 your proper business; d,i not turn olT. lie constant, steadfast, persevering. 7. Tho art of making one's fortune Ih to spend nothing. In this Vonutry any intelligent and industrious young man may become rich if bo stops all leaks and is not in a hurry. Do not mako haste; bo patient. H. Do not speculate or gamble. You go to a land whero evoybody is excited, nud strive to make money suddenly, largely nud without work ing for it. They biow soap-bubbles. Steady, patient Industry is both the surest and tho safest way. Greedi ness and haste nru two devils which destroy tliouasnds every year. 1). I beseech you to cornet one fault severe speech of others. Never speak evil of any man, no matter what the facts may bo. Hasty fault Minting and Severn speech of absent people is nut honorable, is apt to bo unjust and cruel, makes enemies to yourself, and U wicked. 10 If by iulerglty, industry am well earned success you des, rvi well of your fellow citizens, they may iii years to come ask you lo occept honors. Do not seek their, do 111 n ee ivo them while vou are young wait; hut when you are established you may make your father s name known Willi honor in haMs of legisla lion, Lastly, do wit forget your af tie r and your mother s Uod. ltecanse you will bo largely dvprived of church privileges, you need all the m ive to keep your In art before Uod. Hut do not despise small churc hes aud hum ble preachers. "Mind not high thing", but condescend to men of low estate." Head often the Proverbs, the precepts hiiiI duties enjoined iu the New Testament. May your father's Ueid go with you aud protect you ! Many of Tliom Coming o South ern Oregon. to nominate a uo-llcens ruuuiopal ticket. A week bo fore tho elooton a man who was a most excellent workman and when sober, an agreeable man, died with dollruro tremens la one of the saloons. Tho man had no rela tives iu the town. A brother came from a dlstanco to bury him, and the preacher was asked to conduct a funeral service In the saloon. The room was crowded with friends an I enemies of the saloon. The preacher stood at the head of the cofllu, and tho saloon-keeper at the foot. After the opening services the preacher sain: "Here lies before us a victim of strong drink, killod ;by somebody. Si 1100 he died I have beard It said that ho killed himself a oaso of suicide by drink. This is true, but he is not alone to blame for his death. I have heard it said that the saloon keeper killed him. This, also is true. Tho man who sold him liquor, de manded by au appotito that made him a slave, must bo held morally re sensible for his death. But the saloon keeper is not alone responsible. "I hava heard it said that our vit iligo board is responsible for this case of murder. This also is true. Had there been no saloons in our town, this man would bavo been living yot. Hut these village officers are only representatives. They have done Jost what they were elected to do. Tha final responsibility rests upon the voters of our villago, who are guilty, through their franchise, of the mur der of this man. " He then proceeded to discuss the responsibility of the voter with tremendous effect. The saloon keeper closed out his murderous business, and ho and several of his friends voted tho no-license ticket, which won in the election. Hince then no saloon has boon licensed in that til lage, and before tho preacher left he had tho pleasure of votlug for thst ox-saloou keeper to fill the ofiloe of villago trustee. J. G. Evans, D. D. CRIPPLE CREEK MINERS 'There uto morn Cripplo Creek mining men coming to Southern Oregon to investigate its heavy de posits of ora than from any other sec tion of tho United States," said F. Jud Catter'in, to tho Telegram, who returned from Provolt recently. And tho beauty of it is thai tbey aio investing ami novuiopiug 111s mines there. I think if some of the people of Portland could visit Grants Pass and in tho activity in mining, they might wake up to tho Import ance of the industry in this state.
