THE MT. BALDY DISTRICT
A Promising District Close to
Grants Pass.

A recent visit to the Mt. Baldy
mining district situated four miles
southeast Of Grants Pass, was amply
repaid by the discovery, as it we're, of
some of the best prospects not to say
mines in Southern Oregon. If this
camp were located in some arid desert
almost uninhabited as are the lately
discovered mining camps Of Tonapah
and Gold Fields in Nevada, there
would be rush Of Argonauts into
the district in search of the Golden
Fleece that would speedily fill it with
seething population and make
Grants Pass thriving CONNER
cial center with population Of 10
900 people. But we are continually
reminded of the old adage that dis
tance lends enohantment and that
mankind is disposed to seek after the
precious things of this world in
strange and almost inaccessible places
rather than pick up the shining dub.
let's beneath its feet.
The Mt. Baldy district known more
familiarly to the early pioneers of
Southern Oregon as the "Jewett
mine" because Of the somewhat
celebrated mine bearing that
euphonious cognomen being named
after its discoverer and first exploiter)
was discovered in the early SOS when
the savage and warlike Rogue River
Indian was abroad in the laud with
tomahawks and scalping knife in
hand seeking to relieve the paleface
miner of his surplus hair.
One half the story of the dangers,
hardships and privations through
which these early pioneers passed in
conquering the wilderness will never
be told. The average traveller OF to-
day comfortably ensconced in a pal
ace car passing up the valley of the
Rogue on the swift winged arrows of
steam cannot realize how much the
world is Indebted for the comfort
it now enjoys to the pioneer who took
his wife and household gods and
struck boldly out into the wilderness
and conquered it from savagery.
Green creek, Hamlin gulch ami
Jewell creek, which all have their
source in Mount Baldy and Grouse
mountain were successfully worked
for placer gold by pick, pan and shov-
el and rocker and other primitive
methods used in the pioneer days of
mining in Southern Oregon. 1t is
said to have been very rich, yielding
large sums of the precious yellow
metal. 1t was natural for the miners
to reason that this gold came down
by gravitation from higher elevations
ON the rugged mountains which
frowned above them and they began
a systematic search for its source. by,
to use familiar expression among
that useful class of miners peculiar
to Southern Oregon called pocket
hunters, - "pot holing" the sides Of
the mountains and panning out the
dirt to detect any PARTICLES of gold
which may have come down from
lodges above and they were soon re-
warded by the discovery Of the Jewett.

inclined to think. make Grants Pass
noted for its smelters and reduction
works. l hope the skeptical and pes
simistio knockers who infest the
streets Of Grants Pass, will not all
laugh at once at this seemingly unto
ward prediction of an optimistio and
firm believer in the future greatness
of Southern Oregon. But seeing is
believing and the most skeptical can
be convinced by personal examina-
tion Of the mines and prospects in
this promising district.

A BUMPER GRAIN CROP
Prospects for Fruit and Grain In

Commissioner O. Il. Lovelaoe,

Mr.. Lovelaoe stated that not in his
experience in farming in Josephine

it does this spring. Wheat is now
three and four feet hign and is head

Oats, barley and other grain look
generally well and will be ripe earlier

Grccers and Butchers plan for
Their Annual Picnic

TheIt Annual PICNIC
The annual picnic of the
Omaha Grocers and Butchers
association, which is scheduled
TO. June %, will be held at Mis-
souri, Valley, Ia. Already en-
joying plenty of popularity
with Omaha pleasureseekers as
a picnic point, this place was
reported by the committee to
have been improved wonder
fully during the past year.
There is good park which will
hold any crowd which the city
can send. This has been inn
proved by a new grandstand, a
carefully-kept race track and a
loading platform, which makes
getting off and on the trains
which run to the park a matter
of little difficulty.
The local association is plan
ming to take between $500 and
5000 on the excursion this
year. Not all the arrangements
for the picnic have been made,
but the usual barbecue, base
ball game and athletic sports
will have their places on the
program. World-Herald.

Manchester, Eng, June 1O.-The
international Cotton Congress ad-

in Germany in 1906.
The congress passed resolutions
urging the nations of Europe to pro-
mote the cultivation of cotton in
their possessions. and instructed the
international committee to endeavor
to secure the amendment of the rules
Of the adhering associations with a
view to improving the baling and
marking of cotton in the United
States and Egypt.
j. A. Hutton, vice chairman of the
British Cotton Growing Association.
outlined steps for the increase of the
output of cotton in Africa, India,
and elsewhere. He insisted that the
United States would not be able to
supply the increasing demand for
cotton, and said that the efforts of
American growers were directed to-
ward reducing the output in order
to secure high prices. It was es-
sential, he said, that the nations of
Europe should heartily cooperate
for the purpose of establishing new
cotton fields so as to secure an ample
supply of cheap cotton.
