Goodwin and Maxine Elliott will produce
Madeline Lucette Ryley's play. THE
Altar of Friendship" This play was
given its initial presentation last fall
by John Mason when he made a short

so abruptly was in no way attributable
to the merits or the demerits of the
piece, but to the stars inability to Sc

FIVE GOOD REASONS.

That the Rio Grande Route is the
most popular one between the Pacific
Coast and the East, is evidenced by
the fact that the greater per cent of
trans-continental travellers use it.
First, the scenic attractions in
view from trains are unequaled in the
world.
Second, the daily personally con
Quoted tourist car excursions being
especially adapted for ladies travelling
alone or with children, affords a com
Portable mode Of travel at rates within
reach of all.
Third, it is the only route between
the East and West passing directly
through Salt Lake City or modern
Zion.
Fourth, choice of two distinct
routes through the heart of the
Rocky mountains.
Fifth, three fast through trains
daily between Ogden and Denver
equipped with every modern con
venience
There are many other reasons why
this route is the most comfortable and
enjoyable in .the whole country.

slate, and in this the ledges of gold,
copper, iron and silver are found.
The properties of the Alameda
Mining Company are just below the
m outh Of Galice creek en- Rogue
river. They consist of four quartz
claims and so acres of rich place
ground. The quartz workings Of the
company are situated directly on the
famous Big Yank ledge. which has
been spoken of.
The company purchased the entire
holding from the original owners
and locators. The most striking
feature Of the Galice District is the
mammoth ledge which passes through
the company's property and known as
the Big Yank ledge.
Bonanza and Monte Cristo claims,
GOO feet in width by 1900 feet in
length, are continuation of the Big
Yank ledge. This ledge has a slate
hanging wall and another of syenite
foot wall. The vein matter, blush

80 to $50 to the ton, as depth is gained
changes to sulphides of copper and

ment on these two claims is by three
tunnels and several open cuts. n &c
feet in, a crosscut was run 40 feet
each way and neither wall was
reached. AT the greatest depth from
the surface, 125 feet, assays give
values of $40 to $l7 in gold, copper
and silver values to the ton. As
depth is gained by driving in of the
tunnel, the ore increases in value,
indicating the approach to a shoot of
high grade ore. Other openings far
ther up the mountain show miner
allied quartz.

mine, are developed by two tunnels,
one 1870 feet and the other l05 feet

this portion Of the Alameda Com

Big Yank lead, and further proofs
are also found in the assays. This

bitches BEING SURVEYED.

The Golden Drift Mining Company,
which is putting in the big power
dam across Rogue river in the Dry
Diggings district, three miles above
this city. has its surveyors at WORK
surveying thesroute for the irrigating
bitches the company will put in. The
company will put in two bitches on
this side of the river instead Of one,
as was formerly announced. This
will save the pumping Of the whole
amount of water for the two bitches
at the dam. The upper ditch will
start at an altitude Of 80 feet above
the level of the river at the dam. The
water will be pumped into it by a
system of large rotary pumps. This
ditch will follow the base of the
mountains about Grants Pass and
will supply water for all Of this city
and the farms and orchards below
here as far out as Louise Creek Val
ley, north Of the city several miles.
The lower ditch will reach the
low lands of the Rogue in the imme-
diate vicinity of the dam and the
farms near this city that lie along
the river. Manager Ament, of the
Golden Drift Company, states that
they expect to havo the bitches con
structed and water flowing through
them in time for next seasons crops.
In the meantime the monster pumps

The allegation Of extensive frauds
under the timber and stone act and
the consequent suspension of timber
land entries has caused somewhat Of
sensation in some circles. There
are number Of ways in which the
timber act is said to have been abused.
According to reports made to the
secretary of the interior, locators have
been shipped to the forest districts by
car loads for the purpose Of locating
timber land. In other cases 1t is as.
serted that lands located as mineral
lands have been denuded Of their
timber under the pretense Of assess
ment work. A result Of these al
legations the secretary has ordered
suspension Of timber land entries
until an investigation has been held.
Each timber entryman will be served
with notice to show cause why his
entry should not be cancelled. 1t is
asserted that the most fragrant viola
tions have occurred in the Roseburg,
Lakeview and Dalles land districts.
