I have heard such tales many times, and have for the past two years given the subject of the extent and perman ency of these mineral veins more than passing attention. I do not claim to be an expert, but over a quarter century ago when Califor nia's mineral wealth was being ex ploited I visited nearly every prom inent mining camp In that. State and, since then, many other states, and I want, to say to you that at the samet stage of development Gallce district makes a showing the equal of any, and far superior to many, of these camps that have since become famous. These great camps did not have all high-grade ore; they are Just like your own, with rich places In veins of lower grade. Cheap transportation and scientific methods of working these ores of low grade have made these camps and that is what you need when you get rid of the 'knocker.' Right hero I have a suggestion to make. You need some reliable authority as to the geological formation; you need a quadrangle of this district as made by the U. S. Geological Survey. I have made an effort for considerably more than a year with Individual miners to take up this matter with the director of the U. S. Geological Survey, but It Is difficult In a dis trict like this where miners are un organized to get such a movement to the attention of more than a few, and too often the few do not know the importance of such a quadrangle. "My work during the past two Rummers placed me In close associa tion In the field with the men who are doing this work In Oregon; Prof. J. S. Dlller, the noted government geologist; and Dr. Geo. p. Kay, pro fesRor of geology of the University of Iowa; and though unsuccessful in arousing public Interest I received a promise that if possible they would visit Gallce at the end of the season or the beclnnlnir of this, nml mt in a few days looking It over: but . r wo want is a complete geological description Rhowing the structure section or underground relation of formations. I have with me a gov- 'in ut folio of th3 kind and I want, you to examine It later. Th inimgraphlc map would be of jfreat value, and from my observation the geological sheet would effectually establish the fact that the two great copper belts, the one nt Almeda ;ind the other on the west side of the dis trict nt Collier creek, are Identical with the discoveries north and west of Mt. Ilollver, and are the same that extend Bouth Into Northern Califor nia where they are so prontnblv worked. If these great lodes are the same there can be little doubt that the rich gold ledges (and the greatest values lie In the belt be tween) are nlso permanent "If we can help yon n netting this work done we will do ho, not onlv lie- cause we would like to see you prosper, but because upon the pros perity of this and other parts of Josephine county depends the pros perity of Grants Pass. We would Vke to see you get b"'tcr wa-mi roads, and a much-needed railroad, but do not misunderstand me, I am not saying this road should end at Williams' m Pbvvder t Four reason , i or t ne rap idly growing popularity of Williams' 1 ! if Talcum Powder . 1. The finest Talc the world affords.' 2. The sweetest, dain tiest perfumes. 3. Most artistic boxes. 4. The Hinged Top that prevents sticking, leaking and loss of per fume. Per Nle j SELLS DRUGS M Hooks 1 mm Merlin, it should extend on to Grauts Pass. Too much of the trade and travel would go north unless It did, and we of Josephine county need it all. "With the completion of the gov ernment trail down Rogue river a mall route will connect Gallce with Goldbeach and assist in the develop ment of Curry county; for it Is the certain forerunner of a wagon road, and later a railroad to the coast! 1 hope to get a good trail connection this season and this means much for this place, "Do you know that the real hard ground for railroad building between here and the ocean will not cover a distance of more than 5 or 6 miles? And with the development of this rountry this route will eventually be followed. Railroads are ifow fol lowing the water grades, even though first cost Is greater and Rogue river is the logical connection between southern and southernwestern Ore gon and the sea. I am certain that this tilp of so many representative business men will be of mutual benefit to our re spective communities. I am certain that our people will be surprised at the wealth that, only waits develop ment and will assist In encouraging this development. It takes money to open up a quartz mine, and there are probably more miners In this district laboring at other work to get money for assessment and develop ment, men who, If they could get financial aid, would soon be able to ride out of here in automobiles over roads they could afford to build themselves." (Mr. Anderson here invited all to assist In the coming celebration of the Fourth of July at Grants Pass and suggested the entering of some favorite lady In the contest for Queen for that day.) "I thank you heartily In behalf of the Commercial Club for your wel come and the many kind things your representative has said of the friend ship and good will which will result from this visit." After the speaking A. T. Lewis, of the Grants Tass studio, took a couple of picture of the crowd as they were assembled In front of the store. Following this there was i ,lnn1 fibal1"K and visiting for a few i n,,nu,,'s wll(1' the party were Invited io panaue or a dinner at the hotel which was fully appreciated by the crowd of hungry men. This dinner was thoughtfully provided by 8lyU. of the mine managers who took this means of further showing their ap preciation of the visit of the Giants Pass party. After dinner, to which ample Justice was done, the visitors ngaln entered their carriages and drove to the Almeda mine, where they were received by Foreman E. It. Crouch nn.l his assistants and con ducted through the underground workings of the mine. The extent of the development work and the rich quality and the vast extent of the body of ore was a surprise to the club members. Plenty of time was taken to make the examination anil nil agreed that the Almeda wh J(,f "'Sl'lf n valuable asset of Josephine jaunty. 1 1 new smelter buHdimr I was also examined and the opportun ely for securing unlimited water 'power was observed and comnie. 1 "I'on.

After the meal was over the party spread out over the camp to occupy quarters for the night. Klgl,ti remained at the Al- meun, though accommodations had been provided fr twelve. There proved to be plenty of room In the camp for all and It was the general expression everywhere the uartv reived the best of treatment, 'soft '" "'cos and all the god things to eat was, the comment of the ex cursionists., ' ' On Tuesday morning the represen tatlves of the Commercial Club In Kroups of rour to six were taken to the balance of the mines. u the producing properties being visited ' The first mine examined was the Almeda, where the entire party traversed the tunnels on the various levels. There sre 4000 feet of u, underground workings and nearly the entire distance Is through wdl "lcrall.ed rock. The partv gained the Impression that the big mine' t'ntalnHl body of ore that will it . ... .... r. ..,,,. many millions of dollars The 100-ton smelter Is not vet com peted but soon will be and develop ment work is being carried on in the mine by two shifts dally. There are Mwcen 30 nnd 40 men working on the property of the company. The Oriole mine, which Is tinder the manaccment of ,T. f. Mattlson visited by the leading member of the party. The ore showed up e1l nnd It aS plain to be seen that it was a rich property. Just t this time there are extensive improve ments going on. Twenty men are Just completing a new road two mile's In length to the mine. This is a fine roadway and It Is an Import ant piece of development work. There are four tunnels on the property, each following the vein. The work on the tunnels amounts to 820 feet In all.' The mine will soon harness Its water power by the Introduction of 3000 feet of ten tnd twelve inch steel pipe. This power will be used to run drills and a sawmill. Eight men are doing underground work at the present time. At the time of the visit they were repairing machin ery. The mine has been in opera tion 12 years and it paid well, though for the most of this period an arras tra was depended upon for working the ore and saving the gold. The Green brothers took out $30,000 from this mine by this method. With its present machinery it Is doing good work. The Black Bear property was visit ed by a number of excursionists. There are three claims and five ledges, fciuT of these are free milling. Considerable work has been done on the mine. The Gallce Creek Consolidated was also visited by some of the party. There are extensive Improvements going on and as soon as they are completed the work of saving gold will be commenced. The Sugar Pine property was also examined. The showing of ore was certainly very fine. The new mill has arrived and will soon be In place. The company has built a new road to the mine, an extension of the Harvey mine road. , The Harvey placer mine, which has a history as a producer running back many years, came in for a care ful examination. This property has produced first and last a number of millions in gold, and there Is some 700 acres of virgin placer ground yet to be worked which will consume nt least a quarter of a century In time. The visitors were greatly interested In this mine and carried away with them pleasant 'recollec tions of the place and especially of the large quantity of gold nuggets and gold dust exhibited to the party. The Golden Wedge property came in for examination and it Is making a fine showing. It has a 1 it-stamp mill and a large cyanide plant. ( Continued on Seventh Page.)
