J. M. Meeker, representative of
the Mace Smelter company o f Den­
ver, is now in Southwestern Oregon
making a survey o f the situation rel­
ative to the establishment of a
smelter in this section to handle our
base ores. Mr. Meeker is no stranger
to southern Oregon, his father,
Charles Meeker, having been en­
gaged in the construction o f the rail­
road line through the Rogue valley
during the 80’s and resided in Jack-
son county where Mr. Meeker was
raised. During the past year has
made many trips to this district
gathering data on our miner-! re­
sources, character o f our ores, cli­
matic conditions, transportation, etc.,
and many samples of our ores have
been sent to him by the Bureau for
metallurgical examination. As a re­
sult o f these investigations Mr.
Meeker returned here last week to
examine properties in the different
districts to determine the «tage o f
development, the extent of the ore
bodies, and whether sufficient ton­
nage can be assured to warrant the
operation o f a smelter o f 1 GO-ton
capacity to start with; also to inter­
view our mining men on the sub­
ject. Should the result o f his pres­
ent investigation be favorable and
his people determined to go ahead
with the propeet the Bureau is as­
sured that ample finances will be
available to install and operate such
a plant.
Inasmuch as Mr. Meeker will not
be able to visit every mine in South­
western Oregon during his stay, the
following blank has been prepared
for the use o f mine owners in furn­
ishing the data necessary for the
purpose named, and owners are re­
quested to fill out the blank and re­
turn same promptly to the Secre­
tary o f the Southwestern Oregon

tional blanks are desired same can
be had o f the Secretary at Grants
Pass.
The installation o f a smelter by
experienced people will solve the
mining question in Southwestern
Oregon, and when same is assured
this section will move forward with
leaps and bounds, and the predic­
tion that this is to be the next great
gold mining camp will be fulfilled.
In order that all may have an op­
portunity to meet Mr. Meeker and
learn first hand what he has to say,
there will be a meeting o f mining
men at 511 H street, Grants Pass,
Oregon, Friday at two’ oclock in the
afternoon, to which every mining
man of the whole district i i invited
to attend.
