FRUIT AND NUT TREES
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT 7
Henry Booth Makes Money From
His Orchard-Thinks Walnuts
Good Fruit Plant.

Henry L. Booth. the owner Of
large tract of land on Rogue river l9
miles below this city on which he is
both fruit raising and mining sue
cessfully, was in Grants Pass Mon
day. Mr.. Booth has 80 acres to
fruit trees, II acres Of which are to sp-
pies and the remainder is to peaches,
prunes, cherries, pears, almonds and
walnuts. Most of his apple trees are
too young to bear but such as are
old enough have good crop. He
has fine yield of peaches and will
begin next week to pick his Early
CIawfords, Of which he will have
1900 boxes. His late peaches are all
Salways and of them he will have
fully 1900 boxes. Mr.. Booth has a
few almond and fig trees that are
loaded, but he has only few trees OF
each for home use. He has some 20
English walnuts. The trees are but
eight years old yet each is bearing a
number Of nuts and IN couple OF
years more he expects that they will
yield good supply Of nuts. Mr..
Booth thinks that walnuts are more
profitable than fruit trees for they
are the most hardy, thrifty tree he
has In his orchard and they require
no pruning, or thinning of nuts AT
fruit has to be thinred, and there IL
not pest that bothers them 80 there
is no big expense OF spraying, anc

BIG COPPER MINE
AWAITING CAPITAL
Bolen Creek Property Being De-
veloped-Has Fine Showing
for Big Dividends

W. Il. Smith was in Grants Pass
Tuesday and Wednesday form Bolen
creek, and Wednesday evening he left
for his home in Eugene, where he
will spend month with his family.
Mr.. Smith is member of the
Bolen junction Mining Company, the
other members being A. W. Gilbert.
@. Il. Platts, and the latter's sons,
Edward and William Platts. They
are all Eugene men and are develop
ing five claims located on Bolen
creek at its junction with Sucker
creek. The veiu they are working on
is one of the largest in Southern Ore

miles across the country, and shows
width of from 800 to 600 feet 1t is
gold aud copper proposition and
assay made from samples taken from
different places on the Bolen Junction
claims give an average assay of S2l
in gold and IL per cent in copper.
Mr.. Smith and his partners have
done considerable development work
on their claims and have put In n
sawmill and an arIastre. Their saw
mill is driven by Pelton wheel de-
veloping 20 HIP. and has one main
saw of 4S inches diameter. The
mill was completed in May and lum-
Der for their buildings was cut. The
arrastre is operated by the same
power. While their ore contains con
siderable free gold, yet it contains
so much concentrates that It is not
profitable to handle 1t IN an arrastrC
and they will no longer use that pro
cess. Development work will be CON
tinded. A crosscut is now beinl
driven that will strike the vein al
the l50 foot level and open up yast
amount of ore. The platts, fathel
and sons, and Mr.. Gilbert are at tn,
mine and working on the new cross
cut and expect to have 1t completed
within the next two months.
As to their future plans nothing
has been decided. but If they do no

GOLD PICK MINE
TO HAVE MILL
Has an Immense Body of High
Grade Ore-Have a Fine
Water Power

Manager Frank Fowler, of the
cold Pick nine, located ON Bolen
creek. VAS in Grants Pass Saturday
to arrange for the hauling out to his
mine of a threestamp mill and
Pelton wheel, which are to arrive
this week from San Francisco.
Manager Fowler has had Is men at
work for several months doing de-
velopment work and in preparing for
installing the mill aud power. A
ditch three.fourth OF a mile long has
been completed that will bring $50
inches Of water from East Bolen
creek and deliver it TO the wheel un
der head of 226 feet. This will fur
nish ample power for large mill and
Bolen creek being fed from the
mountains the water supply will con-
tinue during the summer months.
Lumber for the mill and for other
purposes was hauled from the saw
mills near Selma to Sucker creek and
then packed in over the trail. A new
tunnel is being put in that will
strike the vein on lower level than
the previous development work and
as there 10 but 30 feet to complete the
ore body will be resched by the time
the mill is completed. The mill
will be located on the creek at the
foot of the hill aud ore will be
brought from the mine by tram cars.
The track will be about 1000 feet
long and the cars will be operated by
gravity, the loaded cars raising the
empty cars.
The Gold Pick group of claims
cover remarkable body Of ore, both
for size of deposit and high grade.
The vein has been found to be fully
600 feet wide, and just how long II
is has not been asoertained, but II ex.

SEWER BONDS ARE
VOTED BY BIG MAJORITY
Grants Pass to Add Two Miles
OF Sewers to Its Sewer
Sys tem.

The special election held Monday
to vote on the proposition for the city
of Grants Pass to issue $40. 00O in
bonds with which to raise funds to
put in sewers on Second street and
on Seventh street, resulted in
victory for the sewer supporters, the
vote standing II for and 80 against
the bonds. The light vote was oo-
casioned largely by the little oppo.
sition there was to the sewers being
built, and the fact that the property
qualification restricted the vote an d
then 30 many business men who are
voters we're out of the city OH their
summer vacation.
Each sewer will be about mile In
length and will empty direct into
Rogue river. As the pumping plant
of the Grants Pass New Water, Light
q Power Company is located below
where will be the outlet to the
Seventh street sewer that Company
will extend the intake pipe to their
pumps up Rogue river to point
above Seventh street
The ordinance authorizing the
issuance OF the bonds will doubtless
be passed at the next meeting of the
council, which will be on August 3.
Grants Pass not being heavily in debt
and the bonds drawing 3 per cent in
terest and to run for 30 years. with
the option of payment after 10 years,
will cause them TO sell well, and Il
is likely that good price can be hat
for them.
So soon as the bonds are disposed
of the council will let the contract
for the construction Of the sewers
as there is urgent necessity that the!
be in at az early n date as possible

piping will be brought mp the river
in launches and row boats. but the
supplies and light freight will be
packed in from West Fork and Glen
dale. A small sawmin is being
erected to cut the lumber for the
fiume and for buildings.
The old Mark placer, located at
the mouth Of Mule creek, and which
has been one of the big gold producers
of Lower Rogue river. is now the
property of H. j. Msttoon. former
merchant Of Riddle. This mine is
equipped with two giants and gets
water from Mule creek by ditch
2k miles long. Mr.. Msttoon
since he made his cleanup this
spI ing has been at work blasting race
through the rimrook to give dump In
Rogue river from the old back channel
that he will work this next season.
Mr.. Fry stated that there were
many prospectors in the Mule creek
district and some promising claims
are being developed. He thinks II
will become one of the biggest min
ing districts Of Southern Oregon.
This district will eventually become
tributary to Grants Pass by the
electric railroad that is certain to bt
built down Rogue river from thi'
city. With this railroad in operation
large trade will come to Grants
Pass from Mule creek, as we'll n
