A meeting which came about In n
in (Ml Informal way Tuciidny noon at
(Hants Pawn, between a few or the
men who nro active In tho formation
of tho Southern Oregon mining bur
eau, may load to results of far ronch-
lug Importance to the development of
the mining Industry of thin Kectlon.
I Colonel Itny, Dr. J. K. Keddy and
Judge W. M. Colvig, wero among
tliono prencut ami soino two hours
I worn dovoted to a careful canvaH of
I the situation and tho formation of
I plans for a concerted action. Judgo
Colvig Is tho president of tho newly
Incorporated mining bureau, Dr. J. l-
Noddy In second vlco president and
uiannper, while Colonel Uay 1b one
of tho men most active In Kb forma
tion. ' hence their discussion of tho
bureau mid Its future work, Is of Im
portance. During tho dlsciiBslon, Colonel Ray
stated that as soon as $'.'000 of the
slock of the new corporation was
subscribed ho would take $2000
worth In order to Insure Its success.
over $120(1 worth has already been
disposed of.
In accord with a decision reached
during the discussion of plans, It will
In all probability be proposed at, tho
next meeting of tho bureau to In
crease tho number of directors, mak
ing five vlco presidents Instead of
two and three secretaries instead of
one. In this manner representation
on Iho board of directors will bo ex
tended to Include (limits Pass, Gold
Hill, Central Point, Ashland and
Jacksonville, thus making tho bureau
oiio to re prose nt more fully Us nanio,
mid Include tho entire mining section
of Southern Oregon.
Tho iiouburoau will oninloy ex
ports to oxaiiune and inako reports In
a fair and Impartial manner of ull of
tho prospects and nilnos In this dis
trict seeking capital for dovelopmont.
Utoraturo descriptive of local min
ing Industry will bo circulated and no
doubt will attract much attention. In
short tho now mining buroad will bo
to tho minors of Southorii Oregon
what tho commercial club has been
to tho orchards.
"In my opinion." stated Colonel
Ray, "tho now anlulug bureau If
properly conducted will mean more
than any other slnglo movomont ovor
launched In this section. Horo wo
havo tho greatest mining Hold as yot
