formation from the professional
sorehead who never dug out an
honest dolar In bis life. 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

but do not misunderstand me, I am
not saying this road should end at

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

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

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 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.
