Thanksgiving.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 1.-The pres.
dent today issued his proclamation naming
Thursday, November 80, as a day for
thanksgiving. The proclamation is as fol-
lows:
BY the president of the United States, a
proclamation:
When nearly three hundred years ago,
the first settlers came to the country which
has now become the great republic, they
confronted not only hardship and privation
but terriDle risk to their lives. In those
grim days the custom grew of setting apart
one day in each year for special service of
thanksgiving to the Almighty for preserv-
ing the people through the changing sea-
sons. The custom has become national
and hallowed by immortal usage.
We live in easier and more plentiful times
than our forefathers, the men, who with
rugged strength, faced the rugged days; and
yet the dangers to national life are quite as
great now as at any previous time in o u r
history. 1t is eminently fitting that once a
year our people should set apart a day of
praise and thanksgiving to the giver of
good, and at The same time, that they ex-
press their thanks for abundant mercies
received, should manfully acknowledge
their shortcomings and pledge themselves
solumnly and in good faith 10 I We to
overcome them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our bust
ness prosperity has been great. No other
people has ever stood on as high a level as
we now stand on. We are not threatened by
foes without. The foes within are o u r
passions and ~follies, and against these there
is always iced that we should war.
Therefore, l now set apart the goth OF
this November as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer for the future, and OF that day
| ask that throughout the land the people
gather in their homes and places of wor.
ship, and on the rendering of thanks to the
Most High for the manifold blessings Of
the past year, consecrate them selves to {
life of cleanliness, honor and wisdom, Sc
that this nation may do its allotted worl
on the earth in a manner worthy of then
who founded it and of those who preserved
it.
In witness whereof | lave hereunto sci
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 2nd
day of November, in the year of our LORD
one thousand nine hundred and five. and
of the independence Of the United State:
the one hundred and thirtieth.

Through the courtesy of Senator
John H. Mitchell, 81 volumes have
been received from Washington for
the reference library of the Grants
Pass Miners Association These books
are mostly reports of the United
States geological survey and are thus
of special value as works of reference
to miners. These reports contain
description of all the minerals found
in the United States, where and how
mined and their uses and value.
Statistical tables give the mineral
productions of the various states.
The Miners Association plan to
make their reference library a strong
feature of their library and minerals
exhibit room To this end they will
add, SO fast as their means will
pepmit, all the standard works
pertaining to the mining industry as
we'll as all the government publica-
tions bearing on mineralogy.. A num-
ber of maps have been secured, among
them being maps that give the loca-
tion of towns, postoffices, mines,
railroads and wagon roads, streams,
mountains, etc., of Southern Oregon.
The use of this reference library is
free to the general public and mining
men are especially to avail them
selves of the use Of and to make
the room their headquarters when in
Grants Pass. Stationery and desks
are at their service free of charge for
any correspondence they may wish to
do and the leading daily papers and
mining and other publications are on
file for the use of those who wish to
spend an hour or more in reading.
The library and minerals exhibit
room is open daily from O'Clock in
the morning to 8 O'Clock in the even
ing, except for a short time at the
noon and supper hours.

Opp Mine o Big Producer.

Reports come from the Opp mine
that the new 10-stamp mill lately
ere ected and put in operation at that
mine is turning out the gold at rate
that is extremely satisfactory to
owners. With a force OF 20 men an
average of 80 tons of ore is milled per
day and the gold produced is close TO
5000 a day. On recent cleanup
after 10 days run $1,000 was taken
from the plates and concentrates were
saved that would yield $500 and no
cleanup of the morlars was made
which always hold considerable gold.
This mine which is located 80 miles
from Grants Pass aud mile and a
half from Jacksonville is owned by j.
W. OPP, DR.. J. f. Reddy and +. I.
Perry, who have a close corporation
known as the Opp Mining Company.
No stock of this company is for sale
aud none was sold to install the mill,
the capital being supplied by these
gentlemen. The building was erected
for 20 stamps and the other 10 stamps
are to be put in at no distant day,
bat the owners prefer to wait until
such time as they can meet the ex-
pense without involving themselves
too heavily for they plan to have the
mill pay its way and not have a big
lot of stock out with the owners
clamoring for dividends before the
mine is 10 perfect working order.

Farmer Who Favors Good Roads.

A. Hanseth, q farmer Of near Dry.

night Mr.. Hanseth brought in = load
Of produce and took back with him
load Of supplies, but owing to the
almost impossible state of the roads
he can only haul small loads and take
two days for the trip that on good
turnpike road he could make in
one and save hotel and livery expenie,
which take up about all tho profit on
his load of produce. Mr.. Hanseth is
a strong advocate Of good roads and
thinks that high road tax with the
money expended under modern
methods of road building woald be
the best investment that the farmers
of Josephine county could make.
Mr.. Hanseth is engaged in general
farming but is now turning his attel

Ashland Man Compliments
Exhibit.

D. B. Grant, II leading citizen Of
Ashland, was In Grants Pass last
Wednesday on an important business
deal Mr.. Grant was formerly in the
hardware business in Ashland and a
heavy stockholder in the Ashland
Manufacturing Company, but he has
sold his interests in these and is now
devoting much OF his time to
mining. Among his mining holdings
is large tract Of land on Wagner and
on this land prospector who has
been at work for Mr.. Grant for some
time part has discovered two fine
ledges. Both lodges are Of large size
and on the surface show good values
in free gold. So good is the showing
that Mr.. Grant will have the ledges
thoroughly prospected and may, if it
is warranted, erect a mill this sum
mer.
While in Grants Pass Mr.. Grant
visited the minerals exhibit room Of
the Grants Pass Miners Association
and was greatly interested in the dis
play Of minerals. OF his impression
of the exhibit, Mr.. Grant is quoted as
follows by the Ashland Tidings:
The Grants Pass Miners Association
has installed an attractive and com
prehensive mineral display in head.

ence library in that city. d. b.
Grant, Of this city, returned from a
visit to Grants Pass, Tuesday night,
and speaks in complimentary terms Of
the enterprise shown by the mining
interests there. The mineral display
is not confined TO specimens found in
Josephine county, but will BE-
gathered from mines from a distance
of 100 miles along the Southern

HOPS BOUND TO ADVANCE
John Ranzau Tells His r easons
for Holding His Crop.

John Ranzau visited Salem last
week and In an interview with a
Journal reporter, said:
II cannot see how any grower con-
versant with the situation can even

ridiculous prices at 28& and 30 cents
Thirty-two or 83 cents would he no

that present prices show an enormous
profit to tho grower on his capital in
vested. but as prices are regulated by
supply and demand, or production and
consumption, and the production be-
ing insufficient to supply the requisite
consumption, l think we growers are
justified to hold until values are ad.
vanoed far beyond the present market.
II the bears can manipulate the
present market and lower prices at

world amounting to several hundred
thousand bales, and especially a
shortage in the United States of 40, 600
bales, then would like to know what
they will do when there IL surplus.
In other words, we oould not antioi-
pate stronger statistical situation

take advantage Of conditions and play

the consumers will seek our product,

The market may not reach the highest
point till spring. However that may
be, II IL bound to come Time being

there WAS large crop all over the
world, and the brewers had n large
surplus on hand from preceding
years. Notwithstanding this in 1902.
when the first short crop made Its
appearance, the market advanced to
27lS cents. The bears shouted that
the brewers have adopted hand to
mouth policy and that they are draw
ing on the hops they had in cold
storage. ana therefore are buying
sparingly. In 1903 another scrt crop
appeared and the brewers used up all
the hops they had on and in fact, all
the surplus disappeared. The exports
amounted to only $4,000 bales. The
market reached 30 cents. No sane

new work has open up larger and
better body of ore than has yet been

four inches to 2l6 feet and is very
rich, largely in free Hing ore, and
it is steadily gaining in width and
values as distance back is reached.

Good Prospects on Coyote Creek

OF the mining news of Coyote Greek
district, f. Keller of Golden, who
was in Grants Pass last Thursday,
gives the Courier the following:
Mr. Keller is himself mining and
has claim that may prove to be both
copper and a gold mine. He has on
his claim dyke that has surface
indication of from 40 to 60 feet in
width This dyke carries consider
able copper assays giving as high as
IA per cent and some gold. Adjoin-
ing the dyke is stringer that pros
poets we'll carrying both free gold and
base ore, a mill test yielding So free
gold, $50 in concentrates per ton.
This stringer has dip of about 60
degrees and evidently intersects the
dyke at no great distance from the
surface and Mr.. Keller is driving a
crosscut to see what showing is made
at the point of contact. He has his
tunnel in ITO feet and thinks that it
will require 60 feet more to reach the
point he is working for. Mr.. Keller
will continue his development work
until he has demonstrated the value
of his property, he having every
reason to believe that he has a claim
that will be valuable one.
A mile distant from Mr.. Keller's
dyke is another one that shows a
width of 10 feet This ledge is being
developed by VIM. Thompson and is
prospecting we'll. 1t contains a num-
ber of seams that are rich in free gold
and sulphurets.
NJ. H. Thompson has bonded his
claim to Spokane parties at the head
of whom is E. @. Stinger. Some
800 feet of tunnel has been put in by
Mr.. Thompson and the new owners are
continuing the development. If by
spring the ledge continues its present
good showing, the company plans to
put in a mill and undertake its per-
manent working. This ledge is from
six to 10 feet wide and appears to be
SO extensive that though low grade
proposition it is likely to prove TO be
one of the big mining properties Of
Southern Oregon.
There are number of other promis-
ing lodges in this district that are be-
ing developed by the owners and Mr..
Keller stated that the hills are full
of prospectors looking for other
lodges.
