ELECTRIC POWER NOW
USED AT GRANITE HILL
Mill at This Big Mine Doubled
in Capacity-Prospects for
Future Bright.

After months suspension of min
ing and milling operations, to allow
of the change from steam to electric
power, WORK is again under way at
Granite Hill mine, near this city.
The change In power has been pre-
Rected, together with the addition of
1several heavier pieces of machinery,
and the mill and mine is now equip
ped and in condition to operate ON a
far bigger scale than befora. Asa
matter of truth, there are but one or
two mines with bigger equipment
than the Granite Hill in Oregon, and
, none with better. But construction
work is not over by any means, as
Manager W. J. Morphy announces
that the management will add 20 more
stamps this summer. making total
Of 40, and with this addition the
Granite Hill will have as great mill
Ing capacity as any Ene in Oregon.
Auxiliary to the milling battery is an
excellent concentrating plant, in
which six Frue vanners are already
III operation, and another series of six
will be added when the additional 20
stamps are installed.
So excellent is the Granite Hill
system of milling and concentration
that net more than 40 or 80 cents TO
the ton remain in the shines aud tail
ings, being very small per cent of
the assay value. And while the
values of the tailings are small, Super
intendent Wickersham nevertheless
desires to save them, and to this end
has placed a st of slime tables over
which the tailiugs water is run, and
which catches a greater part of the
values. With the system now in
, use, the ore of the Granite Hill can
be Mined milled and conc, nirated
for 81 90 ton. All above this is
clean profit to the mana ement
There are very few mines on The
Pacific Coast that can make such

milling in most western properties is
from S3 to So ton. The shippers
are up aginst the propC sition of s4
and 81 ton for freight alone. To
mine and mill the ore of mine at
the lowest possible cost, is the prob
lem that demands conservative solu-
tion by every mine superintendent,
and the low figures reached in this re-
gard by the Granite Hill system
speaks volumes for the manag ement
With the vast body of ore uD covered,
and the great system of veins yet to
he DEVELOPED, the property will Ger.
tainly become one of the leading pro-
ducers of the mineral west Its worth
Is no longer matter Of conjecture;

its values have been amply proved,
and the great Granite Hill is a giRan-
tic certainty, by vrute of which it is
entitled to Il place among the giants.
Granite Hill is one of the busiest
mining camps in Oregon, and has a
population of about 200, cluding the
families of the miners The camp
has postoffice and store, with daily
mail and stage from Grants Pass. 1t

a large lodging house has just been

provided with school house, and the
school has a good attendance of

covered by United States patent, are
located on the two forks of Louse

SMALL BOYS AND
GUNS AND TROUBLE
Guy Colvin Shoots Off Brother. 8
Foot-Reckless Shooting
About Suburbs.

A distressing accident befel Louis
Colvin, the l0-year-old son of Robert
Co win, last Saturday that came very
near costing the boy his life and will
make him cripple He, in COM
pany with his l2-year old brother,
Guy, and Carroll Cornell. who is 8
years old were on Jose X. Nelson 8
place, just east Of town hunting and
they had double barreled shotgun
with them. The three boys were
standing talking and the banter was
ma that Guy could not shoot both
barrels at once. Without considering
the direction the gun was pointed he
pulled the triggers and Louis dropped
to the ground screaming with pain
aud one foot shot away and the other
one injured. The two boys ran to the
home of E. +. Cargill and told him of
the accident and MIR. Cargill hastened
to the boy and carried him to his
house. DR.. Douglas and Mr.. and
Mrs. Colvin were summoned.
DIR. Douglas checked the flow of
blood and had the boy removed to the
Sou harn Oregon General Hospital,
where he amputated the injured
right foot, taking off the leg above
the ankle. Two shots had passed
through the heel of the left foot, but
the injury will not cripple that foot.
The boy, who is not rugged, came
near dying from loss of blood and the
shock, but he began to rally the next
day and he is now doing well and the
wound is healing rapidly. This is
the second patient that DIR. Douglas
has had in the recently established
Grants Pass hospital aud he is very
we'll pleased with the coveniences it
offers and the excellet service of the
nurses. Especial commedation is due
Miss Webb, the superintendent and
condition and the careful attention
given patients.
The shooting of the Colvin boy is
but the sequence Of the hunting
craze that exists among the boys Of
Grants Pass of late. 1t Is common
thing for boys from s to IS years old
making for the fields and brush land
about this city with gun on their
shoulder. As there Is no game other
than stray rabbit, the birds become
targets for their guns, Dotwithstaud-
ing there is heavv penalty for shoot
ing birds. Suburban residents COM
plain Of the dangerous manner in
which bullets and shot from these
bo s. guns fly about their premises
and the farmers fear for the safety of
their stock and curse at hayihg their
fences molested and gates left open.
