It is thought by mining men but by financing institutions and the government guarantees 20 per cent of the loan. The loan is to be paid in monthly payments. The debt does not become a lien on the property and the fact that there is a mortgage on the property or unpaid taxes does not bar the loan providing the moral hazard is con sidered good. A committee is canvassing the City to see how many are in terested The reports of this com mittee will be on file with Judge Fuller, the chairman of the local housing committee, and anyone interested can see them. Thus everyone Is free to choose any con tractor or supply man desired and any or all are equally free to con tact the propects. Almost any dealer in building matorial, con tractor or banker will be glad to go into the details with anyone interested. It certainly looks like a good chance to get that roof reshingled, the house repainted, an addition put on or any other such work done and pay for it over a period of years at a low rate of interest and without encumbering the prop erty with a lien. This, the government explains, is being done to put as many men to work as possible on private en terprises and thus remove them from the relief rolls, and to pre vent more from being added. When the committee calls, per sons are asked to give them their attention and cooperation. This does not obligate home owners in any way and should they decide to take advantage of the plan, they are free to select any ma terial, workman or contractor de sired. Cooperating with the move, »me of the big material manu facturers are making offers to fi nance improvements if a certain amount of their products are used. One roofing manufacturer offers to loan up to $2000 if $25 worth of their roofing is used. Of course, they will not object if the job takes more roofing. > • • • • | • • • • • HOME LOAN PLAN LAUNCHED HERE Retraction! 12 GAMES MARK Qrizzly Mascot!

NKCONI) ROUND GAMES RESERVOIR UP, TVILLITES SEE GREEN SUMMER JACKSONVILLE Dusty sum mers are a thing of the past .so far as Jacksonville is concerned during 1935, according to local residents who watched the city's reservoir overflow for the first time in two years a short time ago. Two of the past three seasons have witnessed drouths in the mu nicipal water supply, and with one of the wettest years in history, townspeople are planning gardens, flowers and lawns with confidence. Jacksonville's application, made more than two years ago, for PWA funds to purchase and in stall a needed pipeline connecting the town with its large reservoir still is pending, with no actual realization yet in sight, according to city officials, who still are hopeful of completing a plan launched almost four years ago when a bond Issue was voted for that purpose. The "terrific caveins" of back yard gold mines recorded in press of the coast some time ago have continued to be of little import, few more yards and streets settl ing because of excessive moisture which weakened overburden and rotting mine timbers in the net work of tunnels about the town. Have for the settling of a strip across California street, main thoroughfare of the town, little damage has resulted. ------------- e------------- BIEGEL SURVEYING FOR NEW SIX-INCH PIPELINE City Superintendent Elmer Bie- gel was busy the first of the week surveying for a new pipeline from the new normal to the site of the old normal school. Six-inch pipe will replace the present four-inch. The new pipe will give better serv ice to Mountain View cemetery and the Belle View district. The work. Mr. Biegel informs the Miner, will be done by SERA labor without cost to the city. that one good, large-scale mine in thia district will do much to in terest outside capital in mines of the Jacksonville and Ashland dis tricts, and to add prestige to gold mining as a whole here. 5C Rogue River 25, Jacksonville 13.

Frank Sullenger is the Lithian who last fall discovered good, sharp gold in topsoil of his prop erty one and one-half miles back of Talent, below the old ’49 dig gings, also known as the Ander son diggings. Apparently the gold has been washed from the hillside to a depth of two feet on Sullen- ger’s land, and report has it that there are many acres of ground there bearing yellow metal which averages in places about $10 to $15 per yard. Soil is a clay loam, and is being treated in a trammel washer. Sul lenger operates the Ixig Cabin in this city, and his discovery has pioneered a miniature gold rush in the vicinity of Talent, it was said. S’MATTER POP................................By C. M.

From coaches of the four high schools who competed for the Cop co trophy, emblematic of the southern Oregon championship, comes this All-Southern Oregon Conference Basketball Team for 1935. Although split into state tourna ment districts, with Klamath Falls competing in district number 3 and Medford, Ashland and Grants Pass in district 9, the old South ern Oregon Conference, as in years past, still goes on. Geogra phical situation and tradition makes it so. And, it will probably never be otherwise. So come these all star teams— this selected cream of southern Oregon’s high school basketball talent—chosen, after the most careful consideration of every player, by those same players' coaches; Darwin Burgher of Med ford high’s Tigers; Dale Ginn of the Cavemen from Grants Pass; Dwight French of Klamath Union high B Pelicans and Don Faber, I coach of the championship Ash land high Grizzlies. Ashland may have a whooping Fourth of July celebration this year if the plans of the Active club are carried out. According to the plana a committee represent ing the Active club, the Eagles, the American Legion, and Elks, and the chamber of commerce, would be in charge. The idea as outlined to the city council at its regular meeting Tuesday evening was approved by the city council. A Shakespearean Festival, to be directed by Angus L Bowmer, dramatic head at SONS, would be a feature. It is proposed to pre sent the festival in the old Chau tauqua building in Lithia park. The council also considered a report on the heating plant at the Community hospital and left the matter of new equipment with the realty committee. Action on the case brought against persons turning on the city water without authority was left to the discretion of Judge Fuller, City Attorney Van Dyke and City Superintendent Biegel.
