OR ANTS- PASS July 18 (Sicclal)
The Sylvanlte mine which lis
alarted operation aguln with a small
iiew In charge of Mr. Hnss. 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.

Mining Cicillt -;
GRANTS I' ASH. July IS. (Special.)
Credit of . any ' sore Is a sensitive
plant. 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.
