GRANTS PASS TAKES SCALP
OF MEDFORD BALL PLAYERS
Court Hail, "hitfess wonders" of
Medford went to . defeat Sunday
when they met Manager Roper's
Grants Pass nine here In the first
game of the season. - Medford lost
by a Bcore of 7 to 4 and (rreat
was the chagrin of the aggregation
from the banks of Bear creek.
The game was a fast one, and some
brilliant playing was done by mem
bers of the Grants Pass team. Field
ing of the home team was exception
ally skillful, and when Short Stop
Faublon made a double jump of
thirty feet, caught a long drive and
put a Medford runner out at third
the home fans made the hills echo
with some long howls of glee.
Catcher Baker made the Medford
woners mad as wet hens, as by his
ever watchful eye and expert work
not one of Hall's men could play the
stealing act on him and they usually
died at second.
Pitcher Wilcox for Grants Pass
had the Medford willow wlelders fan
ning the air until, It Is said, each one
developed much muscle. The Grants
Pass ball played all around them and
over them like forked lightning, and
when they reached for It It was safe
in Baker's mitt. Wilcox is one of the
most skillful pitchers In the minor
leagues of the coast. He's training
came on the team at St. Mary's acad
emy at Oakland, Cal., the premier
college team of the coast.
WIckler, on second base, made
some sensational stops and sent grim
misery into the Medford camp. The
visitors did earnest work, but it
could not count against the fast and
correct playing of Roper's young
sters. The game furnished great
sport for the rooters and fans, and
being the first one of the season was
doubly entertaining.
Grants Pass will meet Medford
again next Sunday at Medford and
Court Hall declares he will humble
the haughty Grants Pass stars and
send them home with their colors
trailing In Rogue River valley duBt.
Roper declares that the dust bath
will be Medford's portion and that
If no mean luck befalls them .hat
Grants Pass will have an opportun
lty to march through Medford's
streets streets singing "I told you so,
I told you so."
Thus the fun is on and Rogue
River valley will be the scene of
lively baseball contests from now
until the leaves begin to fall.

LARGE DEPOSITS GOLD
ORE IN ORIOLE MINE
Lode mining In Southern Oregon,
especially In Josephine county, has of
late attracted wide attention In the
mining w.orld, through the uncover
ing of large deposits of gold ore in
the Oriole property. In the Gallce
mining district..
Placer gold has been successfully
mined in this region since the early
50'b of the past century and the pro-
ductlon has reached well into the mil
lions by that method.
Systematic prospecting for the
source of this placer gold, however,
has but fairly started, and the show
ing thus far made has been uniform
ly satisfactory; so much so that
several large companies have bean
organized and the eve of extensive
lode mining is now at hand. ' ABide
from the splendid showings made
at the Almeda, Golden Wedge and
ether properties In the Gallce dis
trict, the Oriole property deserves
especial mention, due to the phenom
enally rich character of some of the
ore encountered, as well as the mag
nitude of the lower grade milling
ores.
The great ore zone of the Oriole,
as now proven, attains a width of
210 feet, the hanging wall being a
sheer quartzlte and the foot wall a
metamorphic slate. The vein fill
ing is composed of quartz stringers
and nodules of quartz, lnterbedded
in BOft, slaty material. The gold val
ues are Intimately associated with
the quartz and exist chiefly pyrltlc
and other sulphide formB. The high-
grade ore Is perhaps valaverlte, ow
ing to Its extreme mixture and al
most absence of silver values.
There are practically two-thirds of
mile in development, consisting
of tunnels, drifts and cross-cuts. The
fourth tunnel is now being driven
Into the ore body, which will open
the vein nearly 600 feet below the
apex of the hill through which the
vein passes. This tunnel will be 937
feet In length before Intercepting
the vein, and will definitely prove the
dependable extent of the deposits, as
well as the physical character of the
ore and place the company In pos
ition to determine the kind and ca
pacity of a plant to be Installed for
the commercial treatment of the ore.
The Oriole property consists of
nine mining claims, covered with a
virgin growth of fir and pine timber
sufficient to meet, all mining and
building requirements for the next
quarter of a century.'
The company also holds valuable
water rights sufficient to operate
every kind of machinery and mill
during the greater portion of the
year. The present equipment con
sists of an air compressor, power
drills, sawmill, assay laboratory, two
blacksmith shopB, electric lights, a
commodious two-story boarding
house, bunk house, and numerous
minor essentials.
The greatest optimism Is expressed
by all who have seen the property
and inspected the immensity of the
ore body. Should values Increase at
the fourth level in proportion to
what they have in the upper levels,
the property is destined to become
one of the great gold producers in
the country. It would seem by the
opening of thiB great property that
the Gallce district Is now on the
verge of a real and substantial min
ing boom, such as has not been ex
perienced since the discovery and
exploitation of the placer deposits in
pioneer days.
Several shipments of the higher
grade of ore have been made by the
Oriole Gold Mining company to the
Tacoma smelter, all of which have
retted handsome returns; the laBt
recent shipment of 20 ft tons netted
the company $3,724.13.
The people of Grants Pass should
spare no effort to encourage the in
dustry of mining, 'mt development
now going on In the Gallce district,
right at our doors, overshadows al
most every Industry tributary to
('rants Pass. Investments made in
the district are certain to pay hand
some dividends to the investors and
they will, to a large extent, add to
the commercial Industry of Grants
Pass, while, at the name time, It will
tnake a home market for our agricul
tural products. .The value of gold
production in any section can hard
ly be overestimated. The raining of
gold In California for the ten years
j following the discovery of 1849 en
jrl'hed the world. The Alaska mines
l have added great prosperity to the
I United States and Canada. The mil
lions of dollars in gold that have
been mined In pact years in Josephine
county, addd to the wealth of the
country beyond its borders, but did
not enrich the people of this section,
for the reason that the miners add
ed nothing to the development of the
country outside of mining the gold
That was placer mining. We have
now reached the age of quarts min -
ing, and this requires the building
ol mills and a development of meth
ods for working the rock, and the
employment of many men. There Is
an opportunity here to build up a
Leadvllle or Cripple Creek, but it
will need the help of the people of
tuo capital town of Josephine county.
E. E. Coffman, wife and baby ar
rived here Tuesday afternoon from
Kansas and will visit relatives in this
city for several weeks. Mr. Coffman
Is a brother of Mrs. Lucas, Mrs.
Shanks and Miss Jaie Coffman, of

LIQUID CURES ECZEMA
WHERE SALVES FAIL
In regard to skin diseases, medi
cal authorities are now agreed on
this:
Don't imprison the disease germs
in your skin by the use of greasy
salves, and thus encourage them to
multiply. A true cure of all edema
tous diseases can be brought about
only by using the healing agents In
the form of a liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash: A compound of
Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, and oth
er ingredients as combined In the D.
D. D. Prescription. This penetrates
to the disease germs and destroys
them, then soothes and heals the
skin aa nothing else has ever done.
A 25 cent trial bottle will start the
cure, and give you Instant relief. M.
