At n inecling yesterday of tin
bunrd uf dirrrtnrs nt' Ihe organiza
tion heretofore informally known a
iJio Mineral Dcvclnpincul league, thai
asHuciutinn was given mi official
nnmo. It will hereafter bo known as
Ulnc l.edge District Copper league.
Of course, il 'annnt encourage tliu
development of our immense popper
resources in that district without de
veloping also the gold and silver; nor
ean il develop these without also de
veloping the timher interests, in
lare measure. Therefore, il selected
the mineral that gives the district its
character, lieenuse it is one of the
largest and richest copper fields on
the eoiitinent.
The eoinpetition for the eommereinl
trade of this ((real district is keen
and vigorous at least between three
different points. Mcdlord is one of
these. The faet that Ihe Itlue Ledge
distriet lies practically al our back
door lias ho far lieen maile to appear
to he our misfortune. We have up
to mis tune taken too niueh Inrgrunt
ed. Ilenec our dangerous lethargy.
Kithor of the other competing points
is more than hviee the distance in
possible road mileage from the ren
ter of that distriet. We have fool
ishly assumed, therefore, that the
llcdfurd way must he the outlet. That
in a risky assumption. It may eost
us the very thing we so niueh desire.
Milieu Make Cities.
Mining companies know that their
combined activities in a large field af
ford sufficient husiuess to build cit
ies. They know, also, that every
village or hamlet nurses Ihe ambition
to hecome great, industrially, com
mercially and socially. Hence they
await the development of this ambi
tion, in the assurance that Iho sum it
eventually costs the successful bidder
for the business will be deducted
from their cost of const meting an
outlet, l'or this reason, in part at
least, those interested in the Itlue
Ledge, district properties arc watch
ing the progress of Ihe rivalry be
tween Medford, (Irnnts Pass and
Yreka. Medl'ord possesses every nat
ural advantage in this colli est. It is
nearer by half lo the district involved
tlinii either of the other points; road
way possibilities are much heller, and
il is Ihe iki t urn 1 distributing center
for n magnificent pastoral district lis
well, lly natural selection, therefore,
Medl'ord is Ihe logical trade confer
lor Ihe I tin o l.cilgo district the
point of easy convergence ami di
vergence. .Means Largo Payrolls.
When we consider the vastness of
the tonnage already prepared for
shipment from the Illuc l.edge dis
trict and the iiicomputahly greater
tonnage awaiting the mining pro
cesses, we ean begin to count the
greatness of Ihe I'oreeH required to
hnndlo that output industrially. With
transportation facilities provided, it
is the estimate of reputable mining
men lhal a force of five thousand
workmen would be small compared
wilh ihe industrial demand of the dis
trict lor general development. Fig
ures will be published in the course
of Ihcsc articles to prove Ihe correct
ness of lhal csllmali'.
I'ive thousand workmen could rea
sonably mean a mining population for
thc Mine l.edge regi I' lo.iinn.

would not be tolerated. He m:i told
that this was an excess usage of pa-j

Kveu in view of the fact that the

raise rates to offset the increased
cost.
