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."
