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.

(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.
