Impiiries rei-eived hy -r.-ons here
familiar witli the mining situation in

iastically of the eontinuance of liih
prices for qni'-k-ilver. Aynin. anions
the more plebeian metals iron is re
ferred to as u continuing source of
wealth, while numerous inquiries are
made as to the existence here of plat
inum and tnnten temptations. Al
together, the letters received surest
that persons in intimate touch with
mining development in important re
fions have at last turned definite tit
tention toward southern Oregon as a
field of possible attractions in that
line.
ruinupin Only Hcim.
This is rea-7.uriri(r to the league
members who have been most active
in or'ani.in local forces for the pur
pose of collecting and disseminating
such information as is desired. Its
work has scarcely beim; yet not all
of the seed llius sown has fallen
anions the tares by the wayside. 'J'his
suffjrt'ts to the leaiin that its special
mining number soon to be issued by
the Mail Tribune, with specific data
eoucerninK conditions of development
here, will hriiitf a rich harvest of in
quiries and a volume of personal in
vestigations never before realized in
this region.
The weather and its effect on travel'
in I he mountain districts so far this
season have been extremely unfav
orable to the prosecution of the work
undertaken in the matter of ejilhcrin
the desired data by personal visit and
ili.-pcctioti ; but the fa ft thai the ides
of March are here, brin'in with
them midwinter conditions - an ex
traodimirv circumstance in seasonal
progress in southern Oreuii suy-
ests that soon the other extreme may

of miners and prospectors will he

while representatives of mining in
ve iincnt companies, who are appar
ently anxious to come and obtain in
formation first-hand, will he able to
make the neeessrry investigations.
iophei-lng the Surface,
.lay ('. Monte, who has devoted sev
eral weeks to looking about this ter
ritory for "mining snaps,' left Sat
urday morning for San Kruncieo,
his western headquarters. Like most
mining investigators, he has pursued
his tak practically incognito and has
litlle to say in definite statements
about what he found. ( 'oncernimr t he
re-ulti of two or three vi-it. to The
Meadow district he sn:
'I believe it is a rich di-triet and
more exten-ive than pro-peeling to
date has revealed. Much 'gopherinu
ha- been done a 'mining operation-.'
but the work is imperfect and re-ulN
I i raited. There are rich depo-it s in
that area. Conclusive work i- not exten-ive.
fin a few properties, work
ed for a period of -evera! year', the
result- justify emplownent of capital
in further exploitation. Values run
lii-li. Indication-- are abundant that
it will develop some -en-atmns in the
near future. The need of the district
is capital. It npcars to be a laru'c
area of mineral depo-it- near the sur
face. It will not be expensive to work
theta. 'Pocket -hunter-' appear to
have combed the di-triet in former
year-:. They appear to be oi that
c!n-- of prn-pectort who exneet to
find gold bricks alieadv molded for
the mint. The entire Mendow- area
is an attractive territory-.''
Areas Much AKke.
Mr. Moatc's description of The
Meadow.- di-tiict may be extended
practically to all of the mineral area
of southern Oregon and northern Cal
ifornia ''Gophering' characterize
much of the development wrrk in all
of them. Many extraordinary pock
ets of gold have been found in thi
region. notably in the Gold Hill dis
trict. Many are yet looking for pock
ets in a manner that indicates that
le-is than a tub of gold will not satisfy
them. Pocket Ijnnliim becomes a habit
among miners who have had a little
Miccc-s at it. They promi-e them-.-.elves
that, when they find tin' next
big pocket, they will settle down to
mining Icigilimntely. Not many of
them find the next pocket ; hut it is
their wild oals period in the gold
hunting business and some of them
never get beyond it.
Mr. Monte, it will lie observed,
speaks very conservatively of The
Meadows district. Mining men know
that it is an unusually rich region; hut
those who have claimed most of (lie
area there are not able financially to
develop their properties. They are
waiting for investors to share their
promise of wealth and help theni to
tunnel it out of the earth. It is that
class of mining men whom I he league
is now reaching with its information
concerning the mineral attractions of
southern Oregon.

AT STAR TONIGHT
At tonight's meeting at the Star
Tln-aior, State Highway commission
er I-:. J. Adams of Eugene will out
ine to .Medford citizens the position
of the new highway commission, to
ward the construction of the Pacific
and Crater Lake highways. Mr.
Adams arrived from (irants I'ass
Tuesday morning, where a meeting
was held Monday evening, and will
address Ashland citizens IhU after
noon. .Mr. Adams stated that lie was op
posed to the construction of the Till
er cut off at this time and that the
Pacific highway should he the first
road completed hy the state. The
program regarding the first road,
which Includes the Crater Lake high
way, would have to he determined
jointly hy the state commission and
the forestry bureau.
Will G. Steele has made the fol
lowing report:
"There has heen considerable in
quiry as to what has heen done by
the committee appointed at the Ap
preciation banquet, in the matter of
th Mcdford-Cratcr Lake highway and
as there has so far heen no opportun
ity for the committee to report, it
appears to me as advisable that 1
give a brief account of the work.
"The members of the committee
have been extremely diligent and
have considered the matter thorough
ly and carefully. A second meeting
was held with the county court in
Jacksonville Immediately on its con
vening for the March term, tho result
of which was that I was sent to Port
land to confer with the chairman or
,tho Oregon Highway commission,
and tho forest officials, which I did,
meeting the chairman and a repre
sentative of tho forest service In the
latter'a office.
"I was turned down flatly and Im
mediately returned to Medford to re
port to the committee, which was
done at a meeting held at tho Com
mercial club. The matter was thor.
referred to Messrs. Gore, Westerlund,
and lloos, who went to Eugene and
conferred with Mr. Adams, of the
commission who will meet tho citiz
ens of Medford at tho Star theater
this evening, for tho purpose of toll
lug them what tho commission pro
poses to do for us.
"In conclusion will say the com
mittee Is still In active existence pre
pared to do whatever may be necus
sary In the premises and I believe
the interests of the community couid
not ho in tetter hands."
