Josephine Miners to Be Repie-
enled at the Mining Congress.
Grants Pass aud South ren Oregon
now have an unparalleled opportunity
to show to the mining world that they
have a very attractive mining section;
a section that has the advantage of
climatio conditions, and that they
have the ore in both high and low
grades.
The American Mining 'Congress,
which meet' at Portland next week
will briug together the representative
mining men of the world aud men who
have money or men who represent
money that is seeking investment.
Josephine county has many attractive
properties that are needing money for
further development and if we seize
this opportunity of properly advertis
ing our mining iudustry we may look
for a wonderful growth in the miulug
business of this section. ' The growth
is bouud, to come slowly but witn ju-
dicius advert isirg we can iiasteu the
process.
For the past week committees of
the Grants Pass branch of the Miners'
Association have been busy arranging
for an exhibit of ores for the American
Miniug Congress which meets at Port
land August 33-27. As the time is
very short a uomber of teams have
been engaged and are now busy gath
ering ores from the different mining
districts. The best of these samples
will be sent to Portland for exhibit.
There will also be placer aud qusrtz
gold iu large and small pieces. It is
expected that H. L. Gilkey will take
a splendid collection of gold nuggets
amounting to 1S00 or 4u00. Arrange
ments have also beon made for tak
ing the entire Briggs collection, so
much of it as has not boon melted.
These collections will direct a great
amount of attontiou to Southern Or
egon.
It is the intention to keep a display
of ores on exhibition at Grants Pass
continuously and to that end the
Hobbs building, opposite the Western,
has been rented and is being fitted up
with shelves aud tables for ore exhib
its. They will be arranged around the
room alphabetically so as to avoid any
possibility of showing favoritism in
placing them.
It is probable that a number of min
ing men will come to Grants Pass aud
this means is being taken to show
them the product of the different
mines. There are without doubt from
two to twenty miniug men arlviug In
Grants Pass every day seeking infor
mation about the mines aud hereto
fore there has been no place where
they could go for this information.
This is amove that should commend
itself to all mine owners and receive
their hearty support.
TELEPHONE TO GAUGE
Work will Now Be Commenced
to Connect Merlin and Callce.
A. li. Cousin came down from Port
land this morning to complete arrange
ments for the new telephone liue to
Galice from Merlin. Nearly all the
poles have beeu cat along the route for
some time, but active construction has
beeu delayed owing to a probable
chauge of the wagon road. As the
lino willTollow the main traveled
road aud it now being decided to im
prove the present one rather thau
change the route, a gang of men will
bo set at work putting up the poles
and wires.
Including the Hue now in operatiou
on the property of the Gailce Con no 11
dut d at Galice creek there will be
about 2H miles of a system that will
put some of the best mines iu the
statu iu direct connection with the
outside world.
Considerable inconvenience has bteu
caused all aloug the other sido ol
Rogue river by lack of means of com
munication for a month or six weeks
at a time during the high water.
The trade and travel of Galicn is
assuming largo proportions aud a rail
road down the river is assured and
amplo tonnage is promised to make it
a paying proiositlon. With the devel
opment of the immense ore bodies by
half a dozen energetio companies aud
the prosperous condition of the plaoer
mines Girttro is attracting more atten
tion from investors and miniug men
thau any other camp in Oregon.

Three Kunawsv the Past Week
But no one Hurt.
Duri-jg the mst week there have
beeu three runaways on Front street
between Sixth aud Ninth streets. The
ice wagou team headed the list They
distrbuted ice along the route and
whi n the ice gave out tlier left parts
of the wagon at different point. A
few days later a single two-wheeled
rig carrying two men went dashing up
the Mnet. The driver kept tight reiu
on the horse and finally succeeded in
stopping it without damage.
On Monday morning while T. II. El
liott was on Seventh street selling
vegetables his team became frightened
and ran up the street. They troned
down Front street at Seventh, but
took too large a circle aud the tongue
of the wagon hit squarely in the cen
tre of an oak tree trunk. The colision
played havoc with the light wagon.
The horses continued for a little dis
tauce one horse going on each side of
the tree. As soon as they were freed
from the running geer they stopped,
turned around and surveyed tli wreck
they had made.
