COMPLIMENTS THE EXHIBIT
Mining Man Says II Is Good Ad
for Southern Oregon.

Guy 7. Thrasher, o mine expert
lately of Idaho and Baker City dis
trict, but who is for the present
making his headquarters at Jackson
vile and Medford, was in Grants
Pass Saturday with number of ore
samples which he had Higgins g.
Phillips assay. Mr.. Thrasher repre-
sents Eastern capitalists, who, are
contemplating investing in Southern
Oregon mines, and he is looking over
this district examining the various
properties that are for sale.
While in Grants Pass, Mr.. Tnrasher
visited the exhibit room of the
Miners Association and made care.
tul inspection Of the ores ON display.
10 Courier representative he spoke
hlghly complimentary of the exhibit
and OF the enterprise of the citizens
OF Grants Pass and of the mining men
III getting 1t up and maintaining it,
In completeness he said it would
make creditable showing along
with the best exhibit to be seen in
Spokane and in other cities in the big
mining districts of the country. or
the character Of the exhibit he found
the ores all of good grade and some of
very high values and the number Of
ledges represented aud the extent of
territory in which they were found,
gave proof that this was one of the
iargest and best mineral districts in
the United States. The character of
the ores exhibited, he stated, would
diSpel the idea held by many and
generally current in other mining
districts, that Southern Oregon was
only pocket section and that there
were no large bodies of gold bearing
rock, such as would warrant the
erection Of large mills and of extern
slVe mlnlpg operations. So prevalent
is TINS belief that he, though con-
sidering himself fairly we'll posted on
the mining news Of the country, had,
until he had visited Southern Oregon,
considered it an unsafe place for in
vestments, but since looking il over,
nc Is certain that it is one of the
safest and most profitable fields for
capital IN the United States. And
being as yet undeveloped, it offers
better opportunities to investors than
does the more developed districts,
where properties have been proven
good or bad, the bad being worthless
ana the good costing big money to
handle and the opportunity for max
ing big profits not readily had
Nhile there is an element of chance
IN handling Southern Oregon mining
property, yet not more so than other
districts and not nearly so much as
some sections that have had big boom

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
New Ideas In Screens.

10 have q touch of the antique about
the parlur Il the correct thing nova
days Old samplers are brought out
and mounted tremendously on screens.
Crctonnes, the patterns OF which are
good or old fashioned, are more modish
than the modern designs. and these,
too. are brought into requisition for
the screen.
The lower part Of the screen should
be covered with striped cretonne
drawn perfectly smooth and tackled in
to position with fancy brass headed
nails which are driven through an or.
namental braid. Embroidered panels
worked in linen in colors TO harmonic
with the lower part of the screen are
sometimes tucked above. In other
cases stamped panels take their place.
One of the modern IDEAS in screen
building Is the use Of panes of glass IL.
the upper half of the frame. In this
way the light Is allowed to pass
through. while the glass forms an eff
fectual barrier against drafts.
