JOSEPHINE COUNTY AT
LEWIS AND CLARK FAIR
Makts Big Expenditure and Has
Small Exhibit-Benefit fu
ture I to Determine.
In the content for prizes offered by
the Oregon state commission for the
best county eihlblts Josephine stood
at all but the foot of the liat of the
24 cm nut lea that had displays at the
Lewis sad Clark fair, for It was
fourth nf seven conntiea In the fourth
or last liat, and thoa earui a prize
Ol cue-seventh of the $M10 fourth
prize, which will amount to 128.87.
; Tho flrHt prize ol 11000 for the
beat county exhibit waa distributed
among Marion, Coo-, Linn, Umatilla,
Wasco mid Lane counties. The se
ootid award of (500 waa divided
anions; Cliicliaiiina, Columbia, Jack
aou. Polk and Morrow. The third
prize of :i(M) was divided among
teuton, Yamhill, Mulheur, Uuinn
aud Baker counties. 1 lie fourth and
bat award of f00 waa divided among
Wallowa, Washington, Sherman, Joae
phine Llncolu, Hum and Douglas
oouutiua.
That Josephine county should come
opt of the Lewi aud Clark fair with
so little oredit ia due to the general
apathy that haa prevailed among thus
who were inturucsted in the exhibit.
Laat spring at the Tery urgent request
of a largo number of oitizuna of the
county the comity court made un ap
probation of fi.MJO to defray the ex
pernios of the exhibit. Three coinmls
iiouera were appoiuted to get op and
arrange tiie exhibit, they to nerve
Without salary. A man waa pat in
e'likrge of the booth at the fair for the
entire period and paid a good aalaiy.
A very creditable bcgliiniug waa made
00 the exhibit and then all interest
oeuad. The county court gave the
Blatter no further thought, the fair
cpmmlimlouors made a few futile at
tempts to arouse publio Interest aud
then subsided, the whilom euthusias
tlc promoters of the exhibit were uo
louger to be found, the buaiuoaa men
01 U mnts Pasa aud the farmers of the
ofcanly hardly keuw of the exhibit,
Willie the mull in charge of the booth
dtew lila salary aud sat dowu and
; waited for the additional exhibila that
naver came.
JuHt whether Josephine county will
profit by fie Lewis and ('lark fair or
nit ia for the future to demonstrate.
Ho far It has been fur from profitable
to the taxpayers and busiuoss interests
of the county, for it has tal eu out of
the county no lex than (a(), (HH in cash.

ty while visiting the fair, llieaiiinuut
aieiit by the Josephine county (air

to place the number of visitors at taw
and the overage amount that they
sient at I'll) each. The taking of over
filtl.ooo tu oash from the trade chau
uela of the count) has beeu felt in
bus liens circles, hut owing to I he
great productive wealth nf the county
the effect has only beeu teinKrifT and
will noon uihh away. As this big ei
K'Udituru eon hi have neeu foreseeu at
the opening of the fair it would have
been good policy to have considered it
an investment am! bent every energy
to have made it prolltahle by uiukuig
the exhibit so lsrge ami Piuiiprolicn
sive as to have tu rn a chief aud not a
minor attraction of the fmr.
Josepine county could have made a
good shoeing in a II the leading mill
eial, farm and timber products of the
atate, ami In many commodities could
have exceeded moid of the counties ol
Oregou. As to what effect the luconi-
fileln display and effort made will
lave in bringing investor! and hnme
arekers to the county is hard to tell.
.So far there Iihs not been much appar

MINERS EXPECT
BIG PLACER RUN
Anticipate ft Wet Winter Equip
ment Increased Fully 10
Per Cent.
Owing to an exceaalvt dry winter
the placer season of 1004-5 was one of
the poorest ever known In Hoot hero
Oregon and many mines were not
operated at all, while others barely
paid operating expenses. A number
of placers having a permanent water
aupply either from large streams or
from mountain I reams fed by melt
ing anow, were able to make good
runs and their nsural large o'ean-upa.
It being usual for one extreme to
follow another the placer miners are
expecting an exceedingly wet win
ter and with that hope to enoourage
them they are making m re extensive
preparations than usual to get their
equipment In readiness to begin
work so soon aa a water aupply Is tu
be had. Nearly all the big placers
snd many of the smaller are having
the equipment Increased, and it ia a
safe estimate that the placer mine
equipment cf Southern Oregon will
be increased till a fall folly 10 pel
cent. With tliis increased equipment
aud the opening of a number of new
mines, aorae of them qoite large, and
should there be a large rainfall this
winter the season of 1M.V6 would be
sure to be a record breaker in the
production of placer gold.
The placer mines of Southern Ore
gon are an luipoitant factor in the
prosperity of Grants Pasa aud this
eutire aectiou of the atate and a big
clean-up of gold is felt In all lines of
business aud givea added life to every
iudoatry. The converse Is equally
true and Grants Pass haa been very
materially effected in its prosperity
by the ahortage of gold from the
placer mines this past a aaou.
WORK AT THE OPP MINE
Power Drills Being Installed and
Other Improvements Added.
At t lie Opp mine, lately acquired
by a company represented by Mr.
Gunnel and his partner, 11. E. Foster,
plana are being perfected for making
that one of the biggest working miner
III Oregon. This mine waa equipped
laNt year with 10-staiups, electric
owtr mill, which operated continu
ously by tho former owners, J. W.
Opp, Dr. J. K. Keddy aud Fred Per
ry, until tho change of owners took
place when Messrs. Foster & Gunuull
shut it down pending the settlement
of the method by which the ore wl II
hereafter he treated. A car load of
ore was snt last week to a Deliver ex
pert for thorough treatment to aacer
tain the reductiou method that would
give the best results.
Heretofore hand drilling haa been
used but the mine will now be equip
ped with a uuuiber of the most im
proved power drills. A building
40x110 feet is now being erected lor
tho mm pressor and the ulootrio motor
that will drive it in supplying com
pressed air aa the motive power for
the drills. In this building will also
he fitted up a complete machine shop
for general repuir work. A complete
tniKigraphio aud mine survey of the
property, which embraces nearly 300
acres, will lie completed this week
to enable the engineer iu charge to
have a full kuowlei ge of the mine.
Niiio tunnels now iieuetrntu the side
of the hill or small mouiitain, iu
which the mliie is located, at various
altitudes, and at depths from Til) to
1100 feet. These were largely for de
velopment of the varioua veins, of
which there are four principal ouea.
Now a big double track tunnel is be
ing driven in at the base of the hill
that will cross cat all the veins and
deliver ore direct to the bins at the
mill.
A double crew of men is employed
and wurk is licing pushed with all
possible speed In all departments.
Mr. Ouuiicll states that his company
are greatly pleased with their pur
chase, which they feel will Justify
the expenditure in giving it a lurge
equipment. The Opp mine hits the
ore iMxty anil the values to make It
the biggest gold producer in Southern
Oregon.
