Ashland Electric Light Prices.
.Some of the citi?.ens of Grants Pass
have been complaining at what they
allege is the excessive rato that this
oily is paying for its street lights.
An compared with what Aahland ia
paying under thnlr new contract, as
the following from tho Tidings ahnwa,
Grants Pass haa secured a very favor
able rate under its now contract
AhIiIuiii will liavo all night street
lights now. At the meeting of tire
oily cuncil Tuesday evening, the
question of arranging for tho citv
lighting came up. Tho recent prnpo
ailion of Manager Steele of the light
lug company offered to furniali are
lights on a five or 10 year contract at
i0 and ft each per mouth re
lively for all night service, in
lieu of tho old midnight contract rate
f"i.2r. But on a service from
month to mouth tho company promised
to chargn hereafter $N for midnight
or fS.no for each light each month for
all n'ght sorvieo. In view of tho vote
of the peoplo a year ngo iu favor of
municipal ownership of nil electric
light plant the council did not feel
just I lied in entering into any long
rm contract. Tho diirerencB be-
ween the coat of the all night service
and the midnight service being ao lit
tlo it was decided to take the all
iglit lervlce at H.B0 per light per
month from month to month. There
are 28 aro lights provided for, which
makes tho city's monthly expenditure
or lightning now run to filM.
A Statement by Dr. Findley
To the C'itizou of Grants Pass:
Having boeu placed iu nomination
for the office of Mayor of Grants Pass,
to be voted upon at the coming elec
tion, on Monday, December 6, I bave
boeu requested to make a statement to
yoo of my attitude on municipal
affairs.
I wish to slate most emphatically
that if elected it will not lie as the
representative of any one faction, but
of the entire peoplo of Grants Pass,
and I shall strive to give au impartial
bearing to matters pertaining to the
common welfare.
I have uo desire to be radical or
force iHsoes contrary to the wishes of
tho majority. Tho time baa arrived
In our city's growth, when it might
be well to remodel oor city charter,
giving the peoplo moro direct control
of municipal affair as to liirhr.
water, and sewage problems.
Any action I may take on muni
pal matters will bo governed by the
question: "What will bo to tho best
interests of our people?" That and
inn uuiigiuinns t.iuen on assuming
olllce, wrll bo the factors goveruinn
my policy, if elected.
Respectfully,
M. C. FINDLEY.
QUESTION OF CITY LIGHT
Mayor Relates History of Pro
ceedings on Thia Subject.
Some very flue specimens of as
bestos from tbe Evans creek distrlot
are ou display at tbe mining exhibit
The samples show a five or six inch
flbro which separates , cleanly and
readily. The mineral is almost
white in color. Asbestos is do
rarity in Southern Oregon, but the
surface finds are generally of so short
a fibre as to he of little commercial
value. It is possible that develop
ment of. the deposits might uncover
valuable bodies of the mineral in
many cases.
DrC. T. Jones is in Grants Pass, a
guest at the homo of his mother and
step-futher, Dr. and Mrs. J. Jennings.
ur. j ones wtn remain Here for
couple of months aud will be joined
in about three weeks by tits wife,
who ia iu Portland at the home of her
pareuts, to be with a brother who
ia aeriously ill. Dr. Jones is located
at l'.oosevelt. in the Thunder Mount
alii dratrict in Idaho, where he has
mining property. He is well pleased
with the feviduuoe of mineral wealth
of Southern Oregon, as shown by the
Grants Pass Miners Association's ex
hi hit of ores, and he will probably
join Dr. Jennings in tire development
of scrno promising properties that the

The old Cohen ledgo, known and
worked many years ago, has taken on
new lease of life under the manage.
mint of Alex Gainer, an efficient
miner aud prospector, who recently
relocated the property after it ha4
lain idle for many years. The ore in
the first discovery was very rich and

hut tho pay chute was lost and the
property became iuvolved in litiga

was abandoned. Iu a tunnel driven

might be deferred for 60 days aud
they would then submit a bid. This
was done and arrangements made
with the local company accordingly.
Shortly afterwards the Condor people
asked for a franchise to como into our
city, which was granted by the
council, with the condition that their
rates to consnmers should never ex
ceed those being charged by the local
company. This franchise was never
accepted.

to make good wages by carrying it In

Prices for timber laud in this part

for good timber land as the following
from the Ashland Tidings indicates
The prices recently paid by Re Id,
Mason, Pultou & Ward for timbor
claims iu the Janut Crock soction
were: D. 'II. Yoager. $1250: Squire
Parker, $2,100; Jacob lalur, $3000;
Nelson, $11000; Andy Anderson, $3000:
Dr. I. I.. Arnold, $11100. The claims
bringing tho highest prices are rich
in sugar pine trees. Mr. Yeager,
who ia a pioneer of the Pokegama
region, nnd had probably the flueft
timber tract in the district, got a
fancy price, which we understood is a
little in excess of the sum named. He
has bad no double with fires in the
summer, and says tho only coarse to
follow to secure protection of timber
against forest fires is to burn off the
ground each spring before there is too
much dry stnlf ; thou no damage will
result from fire which may start later
in the season.
