A. E. Frye came op from Mole
creek district last week where be baa
been for several weeks working on
a mine that he and Jacob Frye and
E. A. Rath are opening op on Rogue
river three mile below the mouth
of Mole creek. They have their
property sold to Philadelphia parties
aud Mr. Frye is spending the time
here with hi family until their re
tarn from the East, which will
be neit week, when he will accom
pany them to the mine and assist in
installing the bydraolio plant that
will be pot in.
This property consists of 330 acres
of travel land through which runs
three old channel of Rogue river.
The gravel deposit is from 20 to 40
feet deep and the thorough prospect'
ing that has been done bas proven it
all to be quite rich. The coudi
tioua are perfect for disposing of the
tailings for there is a dump of 40 feet
to Rogue river, which at this point
is narrow and has a current swift
enough to keep the damp clear.
The equipment ia to be two Na 4
giants, and eaoh will have bead of
310 feet to the pipe, which will give a
terrific pressure and be heavy enoogh
to make the gravel fly like chaff in a
Kansas tornado. The water for the
giant will be brought in 26-lnoh
teel pipe from Tom East creek, where
an ample supply, by the aid of
large reseivoir which will be pot in,
can be had for the foil 12 month of
the year. This pipe will be V4' miles
long. No flame or ditch conld be
osed as the country ia so rough as to
be too exDensve to put iu a flume
aud too rockv for a ditch. The
pipe line will be carried around
mouutain side aud over spars. Water
for bywash can be had from nearby
streams at small expense.
Messrs. Frye & Rath closed their
work at the mine the first of July.
Jacob Frye returned to his home at
Big Bend, eight miles below, while
Mr. Rnth and his wife remain at the
mine aud Mr Roth will won for
the new company. They erected
dwelling boose this spring 22x36 feet,
splitting the lumber oat of logs.
So soon as the new owners arrive
they will pat a force of men at
work to install the pipe line and get
the mine teady for piping this win
ter.

and the freight is brought op that IA

lowed over the rapids by men 00 the
bank aud by others in the boat push

district is becoming quite large and
to secure it the business men of
Glendale have joined with the miners
to build a wagon road from Ulendale
to Mole creek. The road is now
opened to a point beyond Mt. Ken-
ben aud Gleudale ha a force of men
at work on it and will complete the
toad to Dutch Henry's corrall, on
Little Meadow. From that point
the miners will extend it 00 to Mole

expense for opining this road will
be borne by Mendeuhall & Company,
of Gold Hill, who are developing a
quarts mine 00 Mole creek.
The Mendeuhall mine is located 011
the west fork of Male creek 2
miles from Rogae river. The Com
tnny has a force of men at work and
have 300 feet of tunneling that ha
opened op a foor foot vein of rich

ia now being taken by pack train
from West Fork and will be put at
the mine aud cpeiated by a turbine
wheel with water from .Mule creek.
A soon a lumber can be cot the
boilding for a stamp mill will be
erected. Owing to the difficulty of
transportation it is probable that
only a three stamp mill will be pot
in now. The work ia io charge of
Thomas Billings and he expects to
hare the mill iu operation within the
next three months.
At Big Bend a company of Min

Henry E. Booth, the owner of a
large tract of land on Rogue river 12

day. Mr. Booth has 36 acres to
fruit trees, 17 acre of which aretoap
pie and the remainder is to peaches,
prunes, cherries, pears, almonds and
walnuts. Most of his apple trees are
too young to bear but such as are
old enongh have a good crop. He

Euglish walnnts. The trees are but
eight yeaia old yet each is bearing a
number of nnts aud in a couple of
years more he expects that they will

Booth thinks that walnuta are more

are the most hardy, tltrilty tree he
has in his orchard and tbev require
no prnning, or thiuuing of nuts a
froit has to be thinred, aud there is
not a pest that bothers them so there

Mr. Booth is a strong advocate of
the formation for the proposed Jose
phine Coonty Froitrgowers Union,
and will Joiu it aud will induce his
neighbors to joiu at the meeting that
is to be held in Grants Pass on Satur
day, August 6. He is of the opinion
that the Uniou will be the meais of
making fruit growing oue of the big
industries of Josephine county, for it
will force the growers to grow and
pack their froit iu flrstclaaa shape
and will enable them to get a better
price than they now receive throogb
having a better quality of fioitand

Manager A. B. Cousin has been
entertaining a party of Philadelphia
and Trenton, N. J., people at the
Galioe Consolidated mines. At this
season of the year and a dry one at
that, placer mines a a role are not
very interesting and it is only those
most favorably situated that are doing
any work at all.
The party, composed of O. Wood-
worth, W. T. Wyokoff, Mrs. Wyckotf
and three sons, certainly had a good
time, saw some mining going on aud
participated in mining themselves
with good results as each had some
gold to show that their initial ex
perience in placer mining was
profitable.
Dr. Wyokoff ia vine-president of the
Ualioe Consolidated Mine Company
aud a large stock holder. He is
well pleased with the advancement
made in faollitlea for operating the
property at Galioe, aud bith he aud
Mr. Woodwoith were enthusiastic
over the prospect for the future.
After spending a few days at the
nilue the return trip was oue of ex
ceeding interest to tliem. Mr,
Cousin brought them up as far as
Taylor creek in the Company's hack
and then by boat through Taylor
gorge which la a trip ouequaled in
grandeur in Southern Oreogn. The
hack was sent over the hill aud picked
op ths party at the upper end of the
gorge. Crossing Rogne river at the
ferry, the next point of interest
visited was Hull Gate, where every
one of the party took a trip iu a bas
ket suspended from a cable 1A0 feet
above the water, orosslng by meaus
of a hand windlass attached to the
boat.

It I in evidence already that in

assessed valuation the valuation will
be two and a half times greater than
that of the last few years aud that it
will be a record breaker. The

the tax levy will be reduced and that

victory for the sower supj.orter, the

installing the mill aud power. A
ditch three-fourth of a milo long ha
been completed that will briug 250
iucha of water from East Boleu
creek aud deliver it to the whet I ou-
der a head of 22u feet. This will fur
nish ample powei for a large mill aud
Boleu creek being fed from the
mountains the water supply will con
tinue during the summer months.
Lumber for the mill and for other
purposes was hauled from the saw
mills near Selma to Sucker creek aud
then pecked In over the trail. A uew
tunnel is belug put in that will
strike the vein on a lower level than
the previoua development work and
as there Is but 80 feet to complete the
ore body will be resobed by the time
the mill is completed. The mill
will be located on the creek at tho
foot oi the hill aud ore will be
brought from the mine by tram car.
The track will be about 1000 feet
long and the cars will be operated hy
gravity, the loaded cars raising the
empty oars.
The Gold Pick group of olaims
cover a remarkable body of ore, both
for size of deposit and high grade.
The vein has been fonud to be folly
1100 feet wide, and just how long it
is has uot beeu ascertained, but It ex
tends for several miles acrosa the
