100 tons of ore every "a hours.
Steam power will be used
The mine is located 90 miles from
Eugene and is near the famous Lucky
Boy, where 40 stamps are now being
operated by electric power. Develop
ment work has been carried on for
the past three years and large
quantity of high grade ore has been
blocked out, A saw mill is now ON
the property and is being operated in
cutting the lumber for the mill and
other buildings. The order has been
placed for the machinery and it is
expected to arrive in Eugene by the
time the roads dry and are passable
for loaded teams. Mr.. Willett will
leave next week for Blue river to be.
gin work upon the buildings and get
the foundations in place for the bat
teries by the time they are hauled in.
Mr.. Willett has the reputation of be-
ing fast workman and he is mill
wright of long experience and has
had fine success with all the mills he
has constructed He drew the plans
and supervised the erection of both
the Granite Hill and the Opp mills,
each of which are among the best
constructed mills in Southern Oregon
and have run without delay since
first put in operation.

ALl-NlGHT SALOON TO GO
City Council Has an Ordinance
to Close Them From TO 5.

At the meeting of the city council
next Thursday evening an ordinance
providing for the closing Of saloons
during the morning hours from l
O'Clock to O'Clock will be put on
its third reading and final passage.
The adoption of this ordinance will
meet the approval of all who have
the best interests of Grants Pass at
heart.
This ordinance is supported quite
as strongly by the better class of sa-
loonmen, as IL is by the temperance
people, for 1t is only the saloons
that cater to the tough element that
desire 10 keep open all night Men
who respect themselves are not roam
ing the streets and frequenting saloons
during late hours at night, and hus-
bands who have any regard Mt all for
their wives and their families will be
at home at seasonable hour Labor
ing men who desire to be at their
work at a proper hour and to have a
clear brain and steady hand do not
frequent saloons at the midnight hour,
and business and professional men,
who expect to be alert and to meet the
sharp competition Of the times, have
no desire for the all.night saloon.
Many clerk and many a lnboring
man has lost his position by reason
Of patronizing the all.night saloon
and then coming to his work with
dullod brain and cross, irritable
temper The easy victim for the
gambler is the man who Is found in
the saloon after midnight. The gam
bier. like tho other predatory animals,
sleeps during the day that no may
bo fully awake and viRilant at night
in the pursuit Of his prey, while the
man who has his day hours occupied
in earning money, II up late at night
and piled well with liquor, becomes
lost too reason and prudence and
readily risks his money at The card
table and the slot machine that have
been made n sure thing to the dealer
The majority Of the disturbances ir
saloons occur late at night when the
all.nigbt rounder crazed with liquor
is ready for quarrel and fight on
the least proyocation.
Tho provision Of the ordinance
requiring that the saloons take down
all screens and curtains during the
closed hours Is necessary to the on.
forcement Of the ordinance. II the sa
looms are allowed to be shut OF from
street view, there will re u tempta-
tion on the part Of dishonorable men
to continue business during the closed
hours and to hold such In check,
it Is necessary that the policemen have
clear view Of the room that thoy
may see that the law is being OBJ
served

ing by steam power drill, which he
and other San Francisco capitalists
are having done on the Illinois river
bottom near Takilma, is progressing
satisfactorily and the showing is quite
encouraging. Development work is
being steadily carried on in the Queen
of Bronze mine and by the time the
Takilma smelter is ready to blow in
this spring large tonnage of ore
will be blocked out. Colonel Draper
spent several days at the Monumental
mine just over the line in Del Norte
county. For more than year devel-
opment work has been carried on
steadily at this mine and it is esti-
mated that fully 400, 600 tons of high
grade ore, rich in both copper and
gold, is now blocked ont.
The Monumental is owned by
Col. Draper and associates Of San
Francisco and New York, and they
are planning to put in large smelling
plant and expect to begin work upon
installing it so soon as the wagon road
from Crescent City is in shape for
teaming. This road is in bad shape
and Col, Draper went to Crescent City
and secured promise from the county
board of supervisors to have some of
the worst places repaired. Colonel
Draper also applied to have voting
precinct established at Monumental
and also a school district and the
Colonel offers to donate school
building free of charge to the dis
trict.

Murphy Gulch Placer Mine Doing
Good Work.

days at the placer mine that he, in
company with W, X. Nipper and Il.

mer when he will return to his for
mer home at st. Helens, on the
lower Columbia river.
Mr.. Wickstrom and his associates,
among whom is e. E. Quick, promi.
nent business man of st. Helens, have
developed their property into one of
the best paying placers of Southern
Oregon. Mr.. Wickstrom is one min-
ing man who is never behind hand and
has his mine in perfect readiness with
the first water in the fall and then
utilizss every drop until the season
closes. Thorough prospecting has
demonstrated that they have an ex-
tensive body of gold bearing gravel
and that it would be good dredging
and several parties have
offered to purchase it at a good price
and to then equip it with an electric
power dredge.

strongly to the settlers. as they could
not see the fairness In building their
own roads and then paying taxes to
help build roads through nonresident

himself think the plan just, but IL was
the only way whereby he could see 1t

when his water supply ran low, but
having a large reservoir head, he was

No Great Shortaae in Placer Gold.

No Great Shortage in Placer Gold
The heavy rains of late with the
large snowfall in the mountains and
hills of Southern Oregon has given a
fine water supply to the placer miners,
especially to those on the larger
streams that head in the higher latti-
tudes. AS has been the case in pre-
vious years when the winter was
unusually dry, the succeeding spring
was wet and the placer miners got in
about their usual run for the year.
There is every prospect that the
miners will be able to do considerable
work this spring and that there will
not be SO great shortage in the out
put of placer gold in Southern Oregon
as has been feared of late. In fact,
intsead Of there being less than half
the yield Of an average year, there is
a likelihood that there will be fully
two-thirds or more of the amount of
gold usually produced. This is made
possible by the fact that so much
more can be accomplished in day
now than in the winter months.
The days are now long, enabling
overtime to be put in and the
weather being warm, men can work
to better advantage, for placer mining
is wet, cold job at the best In
warm weather. a larger per cent of
gold can be saved for the quicksilver
will not flow as it does in cold
weather and float away on the water,
carrying off the fine gold In warm
weather the quicksilver is more live,
as miners torn it, and will take up

THE GOLDEN KING MINE
Company Incorporated and Mill
10 Be Installed.

A. j. Bennett we'll known miner
of Placer creek was In Grants Pass last
Friday and Saturday. Mr., Bennett in
company with L. J. Mackin owns the
Golden King quartz mine. This prop
erty is located on Burgess gulch, a
tributary from the south of Grave
creek and it is but 2Ja miles from the
Greenback mine, one of the largest
gold producers in Oregon. Messrs.
Bennett g. Mackin have been at work
for some months past developing theii
mine and now in addition, TO consider
able surface work, have orosscut
run in III feet and which intercepts
the ledge at about 100 feet from the
surface of the ground. They baye the
cross.cut in IA feet beyond the foot
wall and no indications of the hanging
wall. On the surface the ledge shows
for width of about 81 feet and il
has the appearance of being fully
that wide at the level now being
worked. The ore in the first seven
feet Of the oross-out gave an average
assay of $40 40 per ton and the remain
der OF the ledge is showing to be all
but as rich. The ore on the sur
face is even more rich and having
oxidized, the gold is readily extract
ed by means of an arrastre, which
Messrs Bennett Il Mackin operate by
means of water power The arrastre
can only be run for limited periods,
owing to the small water supply, yet
so rich is the ore milled that the
gold secured pays a very large portion
of the expenses Of developing the
mine.
The development work now done
has convinced Messrs Bennett g.
Mackin that they have mine that
will justify the expense of putting on
IA mill. To secure the money with
which to complete the development
work ana to install the mill they
have incorporated as the Leland Min
ing Company with capital stock
of $50, 600, of which $l5, 600 is to be
treasury stock and .assossable.
The incorporators are A. j. Bennett,
4. j. Mackin aud W. A. Bennett.
For the present Mr.. Mackin is
president OF the company and A. j.
Bennett, vice president and manager,
and W. A. Bennett, secretary aud
treasurer When in Grants Pass Sat
urday Mr. Bennett placed an order
with the Courier for stock certificates
and other stationery for his company.
For the present only small amount
Of the company's stock will be placed
on the market, for no great expendi-
ture will be made until next fall when
the mill will be installed. For the
next six months the time will be put
in blocking out ore and putting the
mine IN shape for permanent work.
Messrs. Bennett & Mackin have two
other claims adjoining the Golden
King that are very promising But
for the present they will not be deyel.
oped, but by another year they expect
TO be IN a position to fully ascertain
their value and equip them II the
showing warrants.
