with three loot vein of quartz. The
miners of Mt, Reuben are developing
their ledges. All as far as developed
are giving good satisfaction, that is the
greater the depth, the richer and
stronger the ledge.
We hear some flatteriug reports from
he'quartz mines. 10 Ramsey sold his
quartz mine TO Rube Jones, who ran a
short tunnel to tap th1 ledge at a greater
depth. lie found fine ledge, richer
than he was looking for. lie is now
running 400 loot tunnel to tap the ledge
lower down. The ledge is better and
stronger than it was nearer the surface.
That dispenses with the theory that the
farther down you go the smaller becomes
the ledge. That idea originated with a
lot OF men who came here to prospect,
They would dig little on ledge, then
20 away and say the country is all
barren quartz, Bon.

ACTIVITY IN BUILDING
Dwellings and Business Blocks,
Higher Class of
Buildings.

Tie healthful progress OF this city is
well evidenced by the quiet activity in
construction with which number of
creditable edifces are being brought in
to existence
The Grants Pass Banking & Trust Co,
are erecting one of the most substantial
brick buildings in this portion OF the
state. The foundation is entirely OF the
solidest granite. The whole interior Of
the foundation is solidly filed up with
river gravel and on this the cement
floor will be laid. Not timber OF any
kind enters into the construction OF the
floor or foundation and the whole is
solid as the everlasting hills.
Work is being rushed on Tufts new
brick, on Sixth and IL streets, which
will be occupied by the Josephine county
bank, and the walls are well under way.
This is to be a two story brick, 90 30
feet in dimensions, lis situation is such
as 10 fill out the solid business portion OF
OF Sixth street in most satisfactory
manner and it will add greatly in ap-
pearance to that portion OF the town,
The first story is divided into two rooms,
one OF which will be occupied by the
bank and the other as II store building
Quite number of dwellings are in
! ~ gnngtVpeItAn and ~ iC
noticeable that these like nearly all
that have been erected in the last two
years, are Of the better class OF struc-
lures, built for respectability and per
nanence. There has been hardly a
time in the past two years when there
has not been number of dwellings in
construction and the present conditions
in that regard are only customary.
j. d. Fry is building handsome,
modern and very complete dwelling on
A street on the site of his former resi-
dence which has been removed to make
room for the new edifice.
Knapp is building a commodious
aud handsome dwelling on Second and
A streets, which will be one Of the finest
houses in that portion Of the city.
J. +. Weidman is building very
attractive residence on Eighth and A
streetp, on the dead line'.
T. F. Croxton is building a neat two
story house on Third and c streets. The
building is OF modest dimensions but
attractive appearance.
J. b. Eberle is just completing hand
some dwelling on A street near Sixth.
Arthur Everton is building dwelling
on c street west of Gilbert creek, carry
ing on the work himself as he has time
from his duties as conductor. 1t will
be very creditable edice.
Geo. Pheby is building small though
neat residence on G street just east o
Gilbert creek. J. n. VOORHEES, is en-
gagged likewise on b street near th'
school house.
Others Of more or less importance ar
being constructed and the vacant space
in the town site are becoming appreciabl'
fewer as time goes on.
