yards here, and who later saw it roll
out of town behind iingling six and

which few years ago was known as
the "Hull & Beck" and which boast

beamed, five stamp mill, is now one
of the best equipped mines in the
state of Oregon. Moreover, it has a
future, reckoued upon the quantity
and richness of ore actually blocked
out that assures it a prominent place
among the leading bullion producers
of Webfoot. The Granite Hill mines
are the property and are being de-
veloped and equipped by the Ameri-
can Gold Fields Company, of
Chicago, of which w. J. Morphy is
the efficient general manager, L. Y.
Wickersham, a young and thorough
mining man, is superintendent.
A few days ago, a Courier represen-

MORE BRIDGE REPORTS
W. II. Hampton and j S. How
ard Give Reports.

Grants Pass, Oregon, May 25, 1904. |
To the Honorable County Court, of
Josephine County,
Gentlemen;
p, rsuant to request, have examin-
ed the county bridge across Rogue
River, and the dam of the Grants Pass
New Water Light and Power Co.,
with reference to the interference Of
the latter with the former Ihaye
also taken the n cessary observations
of the differences of levels, etc, to
determine the matter hereafter set
forth.
/ find that the dam has raised the
level Of the water about six feet
above low water mark, that is, Of the
original low water mark at the
bridge; that the Water Power Co.
have head of eight feet on their
turbine wheels; that the fall Of tie
river from the Power house for 1860
| feet down river is G-l0 feet; that
the water above the dam stands at
practically dead level for ovre one
half mile above the bridge; that
|, from all testimony obtainable, the
high water of 1903 reached the same
height under the bridge as did the
water of 1920, when there was no
dam below the bridge that at the
Power house the water Of 1903 lacked
three feet of beinl as high as the
water Of 1890; that elsewhere on the
river, the water Of 1908 was not Sc
high as in 1890 by from five to 10 feet
five feet at Savage Rapids and 10 feet
in those portions Of the river wher'
the river had normal flow, withou
any influences from rapids or falls
that the difference in heights Of thl
water at the Power house at thu
different periods does not indicate
4 the true difference, the point beini
1 too close 20 the Cam to be free from
its influence.
Il These facts show THAT If the waite
4 ever rises as high as it did in 1890
it will rise TO greater height unde
a the bridge than it has ever before
