Oregon, Thursday, June 24, 1937 Number 7 Geologist Birthday Surprise Party For Harry Smith Sat. Looks Over A very pleasant birthday sur prise party was held last Satur day night when a party of friends popped in on Harry Smith, who was innocently celebrating his birthday. Mrs. A. A. Johnson and Harry's wife were the spon sors of the party which proved o be an evening of great enjoy ment, Bridge and pinochle were the i diversions. High score in bridge was won by Mrs. C. C. Babcock; second by Mrs. Harold Hill. A. A. Johnson captured the men's prize score. Those attending were, Mr. and Mrs. Rafael Leonard, Mr. and Mrs. John Bunch, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Patrich, Mrs. George Thrasher, Mrs. Mattie Seifert, Mrs. C. C. Babcock. Honor guest of the evening was Mrs. Elizabeth Bow man of Los Angeles, mother of Mrs. Harold Hill. Refreshments were served and the evening vot ed perfect. ------------- o District Claire P. Holdredge, nationally known consulting geologist and mining engineer, accompanied by J. E. Allen, geologist with the Rustless Steel corporation of Bal timore, Maryland, were in Cave City last S' iturday looking over the valley. While here they stopped in the News office and we were able to get an interview that, more than ever, convinces us that this sec tion has a great future. Mr. Allen gave us the informa tion that the chrome ore which h.’s company has centra ted with from E. It. Brown, will be leaded at Wilderville, ir = tead of going into Grants Pass. ConstruX; :a of a large platform a: 1 bins at Wildervi'le are being built to ta'e care of the loading of the or«. If the present weather breaks ar 1 the sun shines. Mr. Brown says the chrome will be moving three or four days after the sun shines, which will give the truck a chance to get to the mine. The men at the mine were laid off for a few days until the weather breaks, but will all go back to work just as soon as conditions permit. Mr. Holdredge is quite familiar with this section of the country and is very anxious to see more of it since so much activity in the mining industry is taking form here. He will be back in Grants I’a .- about June 28th and if there is anyone who wants their property examined and an analysis made he will be available at that time. This will save considerable money to miners who want this w ork done for they will not have to pay trav eling expenses back and forth. While he is ir. Grants Pass he will give the miners the benefit of this expense. If anyone wants his ser vices call or write the Illinois Val ley News and we will get in touch with him when l.e arrives at Grants Pass. This is an opportun ity to have your property exam ined and you can lank on what Mr. Huldredg. tills y u, a:. 1 yea will know definitely if y i have a i rej ect w„rt of d-evelep- ment or not. This information is doubly val uable at this time, as in a'l prob ability there will be installed a custom mill in the valley which will enable miners to truck ore to the mill and make a profit on the ore, which is not possible if shipment has to be made to other points. Get in touch with us if you want to talk to Mr. Hol dredge. Both Mr. Allen and Mr. Hol dredge are quite enthusiastic over the future development of the mining interests of the valley and speak very highly of its mineral deposits.

Jones, manager of the Cave City theater has booked three splendid pictures as well as the usual serial and news reels. Friday night, “Holy Terror,” with Jane Withers and Anthony Martin is the big attraction, with the last chapter of “Clipper Is land.” Saturday night, “The Last of Mrs. Cheyney," with Joan Craw ford and Robert Montgomery will be the stars in this intriguing comedy. Its a hit. Don't miss it. Sunday evening a comedy of love and music in romantic “Wai kiki” brings Bing Crosby and Martha Raye in “Waikiki Wed ding.” The story deals with the romance of a contest winner, who wins a trip to Waikiki with a pineapple recipe. The climax comes when reality clashes with fantasy and Bing has to produce a Waikiki which doesn’t exist. Be ing a resourceful press agent, he ' produces it. Support the Fire Department.
