Mnner w, nerved on the lawn and an altogether C'easant day enjoyed Vy the old-tlrn-' friends, wide around Grants Pass and we hope you will enjoy yourself while you Btay. Seriously, no better time could have been selected for a con vention of the mining men ot north ern California and southern Oregon. Since the early days of the forty niner, no greater activity has been shown In the mining industry than such as has been manifested for the past year. And the vast amount of capital and the great influx of ex perienced prospectors Is a living testimonial of the magnitude of the undeveloped mineral resources ' at our very doors. "To the pioneer prospector with a life devoted to the hardships of the wilderness, whose hair has be come gray in the toil of life, who blazed the trail to the end of no vhcre whose law is Justice and the golden rule, to him, and to her also who followed him Into the realm of the unknown, who knew the pangs of suffering and prlvati6n, who moth-i ered a family far from the aid of medical assistance, to her who breath ed, life Into early mining by her courage and fearlessness, to him and to her we owe a lasting debt of great gratitude, and we welcome those of you who are here today. "To you who cume afterwards, who learned the use of the pipe and gianl, in place of the ground sluice, who learned that modern methods made quartz mining profitable, who still suffer many privations of life, whoso every dollar follows the ray of hope exposed ln the prppect, 10 you the Grauts Pass Cominer-lal club extends a welcome. And last, but by no means the least, those of you who know the science of metal lurgy aud other and various branches of mining and mining engineering, and thoBe of you who put your thou sands Into our mines, or intend to do so, l .say welcome, doubly wel ooino. You are, Indeed, lost broth ers to ull of ua for 'mining's good most anywhere around here.' Gen eral Meade, lu response to an offi cer's demand to be placed where fighting was good, replied to him with a wave of his arm down the lino of battle, 'General, fighting's good most anywhere along there.' So It Is with northern California and southern Oregon. Mining Is good most anywhere. "We believe that the holding of mining conventions will be a great stimulus to the mining ludustry in a country so favorably endowed with the gifts of the Divine Providence In the way of timber, water, climate and numberless ledges and channels burying quantities of mineral and metal-producing ores. Not only must these matters be brought to the at tention of the mining world,' but many and various phases of the mln Ing Industry, such ns mining legis lation, wlld-csttlnir, treatment of ortM, nn,i thcr educational feature, acted upon and the mining in dutry upbuilt nnd prospered. "In conclusion, permit me to tell 1 story of the projector who return c to Grunt Phsj from a point re-m.-'tp from civilization. Never bav in se n a tol.iphnne, he was ronsld 'Tably overdyed over his friend's mental KonndneKS, when the friend .lked to the wall, took the receiver down, culled for a number and talk ed to a friend. Th 'had never seen a phone, advised hl per cent and we transfer that ore 162 miles over a mountain range at a cost of 90 cents per ton. "When I arrived at Portland four or five days ago I went into the of fice of an attorney, a friend of mine there, and told him whero I was go ing and what I was doing and he said: 'Forget it; you can't do any thing in this country.' "My object was to centrall.e our Interests within a radius of .00 miles to where we can take the brakes off and let the cars run down to the concentrator. He claimed it was im possible to concentrate ore3 in this region on these lines 1 went to the secretary of the stats organization, Mr. Mahoney, and he said; Never mind what this man said, he is a crank. As you are on your way to California I wish you would stop off at Grants Pass and see what they' have to Bay.' "In sitting here 1 canto to the con clusion that I was the rlglit man in the right place. I hava had 30 years' experience in Montana in concentrat ing sulphide ores, and we have had experience In these lines with every form of mineralization. We make this saving as I have said with a loss of only of one per rent. When yoii with a stamp mill arrive at a sul phide zone in your mine"you m.iet a away with your stamp mill. "I don't seo why you are not at the point we were 30 yw.is .11-0, and you have ores that will concentrate higher than anything we gvar had at Butte. All you have to do in to make a long pull, a strong pull tnd a pull all together. And there Is no reason in the world why yon can't have a Butte camp riht here. Xov I know In Montnna we had th.M,- same con ditions that you have, but we worked together and we went down and sot the ore. "I am not one of these, men who have no use for the men of money. Rockefeller, Morgan and th? re-t. Tlie big capitalists wont into Butte, and I could name you a hundred of them that own large areas of o'id ground. They centralize their concentrators. Thoy are not a class or people that would do It if it did not pay They do not haul up hill, they ai business men. They put their smelter nnd concentrators at one central point. Why not erect a concentrator at Grants Pass and try it out. Why can't you build a smelter her and even tually have a pay roll of ' 00,000 a month like Butte. "I am a concentrator man of 30 years' experience and the; are, the points that we have worked, out at Butte up to the mlnuto. In the month of May with 198 men I concentrated 93,055 tons from 3 2 per cent cop per concentrating ore. You have cop-P-r ore that will run fn.1,1 t0 23 per cent. You have no haul whatever. You can erect a mill with a small out lay because your business nun should :ind will take an Interior." Mr. Ktc-rfy, ns will be noted, los ed bis remarks by referring t what could le done with lb? ripper ores of Jostphlne county the concn tratlnt: line.

If all the gold in the oro on display, added to the big chunks of free gold which dazzle the eyes of all beholders, were melted down into one block and handed to a pauper, that individual would live in clover the remainder of his ecstatic days.
