Bright Prospects for Kerb.
J. F. Stith.who with T. O. Naucke
conducts a large general merchandise
store at Kerby, was in Grants Pass
a few days this week as a witness in
the circuit court. Mr. Stith stated
the business outlook for his section
was very encouraging and that this
year promised to be a big one in the
development of the agricultural and
mineral resource of the section of
oountry aboot Kerby. This section
is conceded to lie one of the best and
is the largest fruit and farming dis
trict in Josephine couuty and is now
being nioro rapidly developed. Mr.
Stith claims that with a macadamized
road to Grant Pass to give thorn ac
cess at all seasons of the year to the
railroad that hi section would soon
become one of the most wealthy farm
districts of Southern Oregon.
Tho mineral wealth aboot Kerby is
even greater than that of the farming
and Mr. Stith stated that more pros
pecting for quartz was being done this
spring than ever known before. Large
capitalists are investing and there is
every prospect that big mine iu oper
ation will he undertaken at no dis
tant date that will add very material
ly to tho payroll and the wealth of
tho county
