Dr. Undernmn, roincsentlng IMttshui'K interests. Is recasting its flnanelnl ar rangement, and thero Ih every prus i.Aot that the mine will in due time go Into production. . Hardy and Williams are openinR the Mountain King mine, north of Medford with a full crew. Mr. Barge, in charge of the Sun set mine, back ot Jacksonville, be longing to the Sunset Smelter Co., reports a new ledge 18 inches wide carrying (25 to the ton. i iZ H. - Van Horn at the Kalmar Vanpclt hag his tunnel In 230 feet, has crossed four ledges of carrying widths, the widest three and a half feet and all carrying values from I8-20 per ton. The Millionaire mine has been taken over by Olsen and Lively under a twenty-year lease, and plan the erection of a fifty ton mill with ' a K & K float-action unit. J. Hi- Meeker of the Mace Smelter Co., was in twn this week and is very enthusiastic ' over the future of the; Sunset Smelting Co. Mr. Meeker has been familiar with the country" for many years and is abso lutely satisfied that the Mace Smel ter will handle the ores of this dis trict. V On Wednesday, July 15, the stock holders of the Sunset Smelter held a meeting In Gold. Hill. The prin cipal business of the meeting was the election of the officers and directors of the company. The following men were chosen for the ensuing term, on the board: C- . A. Olsen, president and director, Gold Hill, Oregon: D. D. Olsen. director, Eugene; Victor C. Carter, director, Eugene; S. E. Hobeling. director. Gold Hill: J. M. Lively, vice-president and director, Gold Hill and A. C. Hough, secre tary and director, Grants Pass. This comprises six of the seven directors, the other to be chosen soon. Follow ing, the board met for organization and adjournment. They will soon meet- to" take ' action in respect to further financing of tho company, and. with the prospects very favor able to tho immediate adjustment of these matters, things are pro gressing rapidly. Mr. Mocker, rep resenting the Mace Smelter Co., was In Gold Hill at the time, and al though no definite arrangements ui'vii iimue as 10 me type uli smelter to be installed, it is probable that they will install a Mace unit. The general feeling of. everyone at Gold Hill,' , and everyone connected with -the smelter, - seems to -bo .that before fall, ' work will be so shaped up that there will be no doubt of the completion of the works. The Sunset Smelting company have already completed the sawmill, and the laboratory building Is ready for occupancy. Plans .for the Installa tion of ore reduction plants have been made, and it is expected that ball mills will be put In, and perhaps stamp batteries. With the present Impetus of mining, and the enormous activity at Gold Hill, the smelter will not only be a profitable under- tnblntr hot ' 1 - . maaing a number or properties sue-1 cessful which depend totally on smelter treatment for the recovery- of values.

It has two roots one in the personal charaoter, "and the other in the visible assets' of an individual. If either of these roots :is strong' enough the plant may be supported and flour ish, but in spite 'of '-either a breath ot criticism, or of rumor, may cause It to wither and .die. It has often justly been characterized as the foundation of American business, but it bears none of the characteristics uHnallya. tributed to a foundation of any sort. It is as unstable as quicksand; Is often an attrlbuto of the ' unworthy as the worthy, and the use of it has ruined more men than It has made. When a man wants it he can't get. It, and when he does not need it it Is forced upon him. If he .tries to do without It he cannot pet. anywhere, because he is not using ordinary methods nnd people suspect Jiim; if he makes too much use of it it fails him when he needs it most. The examples of the great busi nesses now existing in this country would lead one to conclude that the best basis of credit was character. If that be so, the miner more than any other class of people should be enti tled to It. His ocupalion Is one where he takes from no one else to enrich himself; ho spends his time away 'from tho petty, environment of the city and in constant touch with . the purest thing on God's green earth natural environment. His tastes, ate simple and his wants few, ami his satisfac tion In life lies not in personal em ployment but In the accomplishment of an end which Is for the good of all. His standard of morals is fur above the average; his line of personal con duct superior to thiit of any other class of men. and he has-fa'ttn to a su perlative degree, yet his credit is nil and the groat authority which deter mines such things has withered the plant so that it has practically disap peared.. From tho spokesman of the national government the fiat has gone forth that mining Is an unsafe occupation from the standpoint of profit uud that edict has been echoed by every man ipulator of finance down to the small est bank In the smallest town. Propa ganda such as this, however much It may profess to be, seldom arises from an unselfish motive, but motives sel dom appear on the surface, however plain the results may be. There is an old saw that truth eventually will pre vail; some of us may doubt It, but such doubt Is generally due to our own limited experience, and we venture to predict that tho credit of the miner, based as it la on-a good and solid foundation, will eventually arise and again take Its place as the safest credit in all' American business. Until that time there will bo struggle, doprlva tion and discouragement, but mining ns an industry will win through nil of It an dthose engaged ln .lt come to their rightful, place in the forefront of civilization. ' v AH ol the foregoing, however, phllo sopfcal. hardly solves the problem as to whether or not the grocer will give John Doe, prospector, credit for his eats, but there is no reason why John Doe, prospector, should be differen tiated In the grocer's mind from Rich ard Roe, bricklayer. No mler has ever asked more than an even break, and no merchant is requested to go beyond the llrits of ordinary common sense In extending credit, but' what we do decry and hope to see abolished Is the disposition to regard the busi ness of mining as utteiv damning from a credit basis of thuso engaged in It.
