will be completed this summer.
The Bone of Contention mine is still
in operation. They have at the pres
ent time one foot of ore which is Of
value to its owners. This mine was
first discovered by Edward Layton of
Applegate and was soon disposed of to
"a Grants Pass company, which
worked the property up to the year OF
