COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER'S SALARY New Law Provides Compensation and Prescribe Reg ulations. Attorney-General Crawford has rendered an opinion holding that it ia mandatory upon .louuty courts to appoint county health otlicers .under the provisions of the act of 11)05. That are delarea that the county judge and oommisNioners shall consti tute a county board of health aud shall employ a secretary, who must be a graduate of a reputable medical college and a regularly licensed physi cian. The secretary shall be the health o nicer of the board and shall receive from the county quarterly cr.nts pet oapita for the population of the oounty np to 50,000 people, the population being determined by inul- tiplyiug thu number of childreu of boIhhiI age by four. As this oompen- nation will amount to 0 ceuts per ' capita per year, the ollloe created by that act will be a desirable one in a I number of counties of the state. In Ijosephiue county, under this law, 1 the salary of the health officer would ' amount to nearly t"00 a year. The same act requires the City Couucil of every Incorporated town to employ a health officer at the same rate of ' compensation. As Grants Pass has a I population of 4000 the city health ; officer would be paid 2 10 a year. No county cau pay its health officer less thau tlOO a year, and no city or town i lesti than (10. But few of the counties or towui of the state have as yet paid any at- teutiou to tin law, but as this opinion ! was rendered at the request of the secretary of state and board of health, it is probable that oounty courts will be compelled to observe it. Attorney-Ueueral Crawford says that mandamus proceedings can be brought to compel county courts to act nnder the law. The duty of the health nf)tot - la in Ir.mn vitul .l.ll.lln, that regulations of the ftato board of health are observed, and look after the general health conditions of the county or city. The county court some time since appointed Dr. 1). P. Love county health oflUwr for Jose phine oonuty, but as yot no defluite action has been taken by the court in flxiug the salary. For Grants Pass Dr. O. II. Douglas is city physician but no salary arrangement has yet been made. ;iE - ju,,Rej,M - - chiu story brick block completed aud he is no occnprlug it.

Running Full Time. A. H. Gunnel I, one of the managers of the Opp mine, spent Monday in Grants Pant returning to Jacksonville Tuesday morning. Mr. Gunnell stuted that his company were. so well pleased with the gold output from the 10 stamps now operated at the Opp mine that they have ordered 10 addi tional stamps. Men are now at work getting the foundations set aud on their arrival next week the new stamps will he put In position with the least possible delay. Thoea stamps as are those n)W in operation, will be driven by elect rio power by cur rent from the Gold Ray station of the Condor Water & "Power Company. The extensive development that has been done on the Opp mine daring the past two years, has fully convinced the present ownrrs, who are big New York capitalists, that the mine car ries a .very large ore body, and all high-grade, and that it productive capaoity will warrant a large equip ment. To this end the mill will be enlarged until a year hence it will be dropping 4o stamps. The development of the past year has put the mine in shape to produce ore for the 10 addi tional stamps now being installed. With the farther opening np of the mine 10 more stamps will be installed this Sum mer and next Fall the fourth lot of 10 stamps will be put; in operation. The present building is for 20 stamps, but its size will be doubled this Summer to give space for the new equipment, Well posted m'ning men predict that the Dpp will become the big mine of Oregon, rivaling the famous Green back mine, that ia also owned in New York aud which coo Id not be bought for 11.000,000 Though 40 miles apart the Greenback and Opp mines, aa alBO the uramte urn mine, are in the same mineral zne and they have every indication of continuing to be big gold producers for years and years to come, and to give Southern Oregon a high standing in the mining world.
