Without any attempt to make
politics out of it in any way the idea
forcibIy presents itself to the Tele-
gram that Adamston ought to have
a real Santa Claus this year and be
merry. Mayor Southern has the at
tributes. with the exception of lit
tie artificial matter in the nature of
some white paint and a brush. A
daub here and there would make him
typical and his townsmen could look
with pride and gratitude upon what
he has done for the town this year IN
giving it good streets and much
new sidewalk not to mention many
other things he has done for the
towns welfare. The Telegram
merely suggests the idea and waits
for the people out there to express
their thanks for what their real
santa Claus has done for them this
wear

be a matter of equality and that that

MILL FOR OREGON BELLE
Order for Machinery Has Been
Placed.

The Oregon Belle mine, located on
the left fork Of Forest creek, six
miles west of Jacksonville, is to be
equipped with 10-stamp mill. The
order for the machinery has been
placed by Foster d Gunnell, of this
city, who are the managers for the
Oregon Belle Mining Company and
stockholders in the company, and it is
expected TO have the mill in opera
tion by the first of June. The plans
and estimates for the mill were pre-
pared by Il. f. Willetts, OF this city,
the well known millwright, and the
construction work will be under the
supervision Of A. j. Pike of Grants
Pass.
a saw mill is now being erected at
the mine and contract for 100, 600
feet of logs has been let and the tim
ber is now being delivered at the
mill. The logs are cut from the COM
pany's own timber they owning over
200 acres Of land adjoining their mine,
much of which is heavily timbered,
thus giving them an ample fuel and
lumber supply in carrying on their
mining operations. A 45 horse power
boiler, installed last fall, to operate
the compressor for the two drills that
are operated in the mine, will supply
the power for the sawmili and also
later on for the l0.stamp mill that
will be put in The order for the
mill has been placed and it is expect
ed that its installation will be begun
within month or 80 soon as the build
ing is completed. A larger boarding
house will be erected and Office and
other buildings.
For the past five months Messrs
Foster & Gunnell have had a force of
men at Oregon Belle, working in two
shifts day and night with power
drills, developing the mine. While
this development work was being
carried on, large part of the ore
taken from the tunnels was milled on
"A Huntington mill and these mill
tosts have demonstrated that the ore is
OF high grade and as large body Of il
has been opened up, the company felt
fully justified in the erection Of a
mill which is TO be one OF the best
equipped and up-to-date in Southern
Oregon. The Oregon Belle is in the
same ore belt and on the opposite side
OF the jackson creek divide from the
Opp mine, there is every reason to ex.
pect that 1t may prove to be as great
gold producer as its famous neigh
Dor, which is now paying handsome
dividends each month.

A COMPLETE QUARTZ MILL
Wrieh.'s New Plant Begins
Operation.

W. G. Wright's new quartz NH
started on its initial run on Thurs
day. This mill, which has recently
been finished, is a very complete IN
stitution aud one that has for some
time been needed in this city. u
will be used as a sampliDg mill and
will also handle ore in small lots
from mines tributary to Grants Pass.
The crushing appliance consists oil
one stamp. The pulyeriZed ore runs
from the stamp over set Of copper
plates and thence TO a concentrating
box bottomed with heavy blanket
which is taken out at intervals and
washed in clear water This blanket
besides collecting the concentrates
also arrests whatever fine gold might
possibly have escaped the plates.
There is also in connection with
the mill, a small cyanide plant and
the concern as a whole is as COM
plete a gold extracting institution as
any of the larger plants throughout
the country.
The mill is operated by electric
power and the stamp, concentrator,
ore crusher and disk grinder are al
operated by One motor Of ono-haii
horse power.
The ore on which the mill is now
running is from the Horseshoe miu'
of Jones creek, the property Of Mead,
& Case, and comes from the rich or,
body recently uncovered at that mine
This mill Is a very great conyen
ience to the miners and prospectors o.
this vicinity as it enables them Il
test their ores economically and 70
liably and the development Of thi
mineral district can not fail to be
stimulated by the new institution.
