NEW RAILROAD liHIDGE READY FUK CROSSING President E. J. Bowen of the Grants Pass & Rogue River railroad, left for Chicago last evening In the Interest of his road. Among other thlngB he will look after during this trip will be some needed equipment to be used on the line 1 ntbe near future. He has also appointments In Chicago with certain capitalists ho are connected with Important enterprises In the business Interests of Grants Pass and vicinity, matters which will add to the general pros perity of this section. In an Inter view with a representative of Tue Courier Mr. Bowen was induced to say something regarding his road. "The work of construction Is go ing on quite as rapidly as could bo expected and, I can say, satisfactor ily. We will be ready to go over the bridge on Monday, at which time the first train will cross the river. We are expecting the arrival of rails and ties and the work of laying these will be pushed vigorously at an early date. Plans for terminal yards on the south side are being drawn. They In clude side tracks, oil tanks, turn tables and railroad shops. These are Important things and must be looked nftor row in order to be of sorvlce in operating the road during the period of construction as well an in the fu ture. "Just now we are at work adjust ing the right of way through the heavy maretlal which went down the stream after the break occurred. It Is believed that the pump will be found within a short time, as there Is no probability that it has gone be yond the deep hole Just below the break. There is some trouble ia regard to the new fish way which the state has put In, It having been placed In the very spot where the pump Is supposed to be and this prevents building a cofferdam around the place so as to pump the water out and thus permit an examination of the spot. Under the circumstances It Is thought it will be necessary to make application to Judge Calkins f the circuit court for permission to build the cofferdam for this pur pose, and If this Is granted it will save much trouble and delay.

" '"i ' hack This rnue.lv (Written by Request.) Some ten years ago I chanced to read the conclusions of a well-posted and able writer on the future finan cial outlook In the L'nited States. He showed that, in the first place, the bulk of capital had sought manu facture; when that was finally over done, as he viewed It, capital sought stocks and opposition to these meth ods by the people would result In surplus money entering all kinds of mines. It seems to be a known fact that cash deposits in eastern money cen ters are shrinking and that a cor responding Increase of capital is oc curring in the west, especially on the Pacific coast. It Is, therefore, rea scnable to conclude that the time has come when our mines, as well as our water powers and other re sources, are to be exploited by big capital. The strongest hold Jose phlne county has on the purses and ambitions of men Is In Its diversity of industry. Its timber all over th county Is a great Inducement to cap Ital and means much In the way of future prosperity; Its extensive low hills, considering quality of soil and climate, are surely to become the fu ture paradise of the apple, the pear the peach and the grape; the rank growth of the native timber Insures the successful growth of domestic trees, so that now, as the timber and Drusn aisappear rrom tne bills, we shall see the fruit tree and vine take their places. While I consider lumbering and fruit growing Immense factors in the upbuilding of the country, I fully be lleve the mines will, In the near fu ture, proauce more net prom on money Invested than any other one Industry, and perhaps be the leading Industry in the county. Ever since gold was discovered at "Sailor Dig gings," now Waldo, In 1852, gold has been successfully mined all over the county. One very Important feature of the mining Industry is that ll provides a good cash home mar ket for the products of other voca tions. A crop of gold, when harv ested, does not have to seek and com peto In the markets for a buyer, and it goes Into ready cash almost trans portation free; not so with other products. The mines of this county have made a good showing and, yet, It Is a fact capable of proof that the loss of values reauRIng from crude methods used have been about 60 per cent surely not less than half of the wcnlth In the ores and Kraveis. uenaing tho literature of the Bennett Dredging Co., of Denver, t-oio., win convince any old miner who Is willing to b told of this fact. The showing they mnde convinced me that a largo per cent of gold cannot no snved In running water. Dy means of revolving screens, so constructed and operated that an ed dy wns created within It, gold was caught on amalgamated plates, so fine that plnced In a glass of stand ing water, It continued twenty min utes n settling to the bottom. The placer mines In the past have been Iterated In the main with tho Idea innermost that, becaiiHo little values (.bowed up In the tall boxes of the mime, nothing of Importance was ho- li.g lost In the dump and the onem- Hons went on flooding through tho i mine material ns large as the he of water In uso wnnM -n.. ooning motion of the henvv -, cim inick muddy water probably car ' u joss 60 per cent nf tho cent Iron ore and other minerals in-! dicatlng coal and tin. Nothing has been done by the old-i time miners to show the extent ofj our mines, especially In this tone ofj quartz. The extent and variety ofj our mineral deposits, the improved, modern system of economic work and l the savings of values backed by cap-, Ital, Insures Josephine county a very , prosperous era In its mines In the j very near future. With these mod-; em methods will come the rework ing of acres and acres of old tail ings with better returns than their first washings produced, a double output from first workings and the! profitable mining of gravel hereto fore unprofitable under old ways. Now considering all the foregoing end the fact that a recent legisla ture gave the people of Oregon a water law, which fully sustains prior ity of rights and prevents waste of water, I have no hesitation In saying that notwithstanding the great fruit possibilities and timber resources, the mines of the county will be Its leading money producer.
