Grants Pass and Josephine county
will always be our interest and we
shall never lag in the matter of ad-
vancing them. In the very next
column, in an article on Timber

ity Of its wakefulness by this query,
As matter Of fact, are there any

fact that mining claims that have
been worked for years have recently
been covered by timber locations.

that the apathy, from which those in

worked for years. In these cases, the
locations had been discovered and pro-
test filed. The fact that the minera-
interests of Josephine county are of
infinitely greater importance than any
other was kept before the notice Of the
meeting and the need Of preserving the
mineral areas from individual owner
ship was mentioned The sentiment
Of the meeting was in no way in Cpl
position to the location of timber
claims on timber land but was very
nearly unanimous in the view that
immediate action was necessary to
protect the mineral land from being
taken under the timber act
On motion Of Hon. W. C. Hale it
was de cided to effect a permanent or
ganization. Joseph Moss was elected
president and II. V. Meade secretary.
On motion, the president appointed a
committee Of three to arrange further
details for the organization Il. G.
Smith, W. G. Hale and H. c. Perkins
were appointed. The meeting then
adjourned until Tuesday evening.
On Tuesday evening the association
met and adopted articles of associa-
tion. Arthur Conklin was elected
vice-presi dent and r. W. Clarke sec
retary. The association adjourned to
meet at the call Of the president.
Following are the articles Of associa-
tion which were adopted;
The name of this association shall
be Citizens and Miners Association
of Josephine County.
The purpose and object shall be the
preservation of the mineral lands Of

MR.. PRALL's 200" GARDEN.

MIR, PRALLS ZOO GARDEN.
The first calf born to tame elk in
Southern Oregon can be seen in the
park of J. W. Prall, two miles north
of Medford, says the Mail.
Many have doubted whether elk
would breed in captivity, but this
proves that they will, at least where
they are given some of the freedom
and conditions that they have in their
wild state. The elk in Mr. Prall's
park have all the requirements for
their comfort except unrestrained lib
crty. The park consists of 20 acres of
wooded and grass land along Bear
creek and is an ideal retreat for elk.
The park is fenced with six board,
aud three b1rbed wires, SO that thtr,
is no chance for the elk to jump cut.
Mr. Prall also has band of deer in
his park, there now being about tif-
teen head The deer breed readily
and are increasing in numbers quite
fast To add to the attractions of
his park, Mr.. Prall secured two Young
antelope, when in Lake County re-
Gently with his sons ON horse buying
expedition. His sons were out hunt
ing one day, when they came onto u
band of antelope in which there were
two young ones, The boys who are
trained horSemen, gave chase and after
running the antelope nearly halfa day
and wearing two horses ont they
caught the two little ones, buck
and doe The boys were then thirty
miles from camp and they had TO car.
ry the antelope horseback all that di
tancc. From that camp to Medford.
$50 miles, they hauled the antelope in
their wagon arriving here with them
safe and sound and they are now In
the park with the elk and deer and
appear to bo rs contented and we'll
fed As though ranging over the bunch
grass hills of Eastern Oregon.
Mr. Prll's park is one OF the many
interesting attractions Of this sec.

GREEN MOUNTAIN LEDGE.

Riggs and Flammin are developing
their big quartz proposition on Green
Mountain and have tunnel driven
some 80 feet on the vein. The ledge
at that depth is wider than the tunnel,
so that a cross cut will have to be
made to ascertain its dimensions. The
ore prospects well throughout the
ledge and some of it is very rich, free
gold plentifully visible. None of the
ore has yet been crushed and the oper-
ators have large quantity piled up
on the dump waiting TO be milled.
Green mountain is situated between
Cow creek and the head Of Grave
creek and the mine is situated ON the
Cow creek slope.
