Stamp Mill for Mt. PITT Mine

A. b. Hoofer was in Grants Pass
Wednesday from the Mt. Pitt mine.
He stated that the compressor and
three drills he recently purchased in
San Francisco have arrived at the
mine and it is expected to have them
in operation by next week. The
power will be supplied by the 30 u
= boiler and engine he lately pur-
chased out Of the sawmill operated on
Jump-off Joe last year by the Enter
prise Mill Company.
Mr.. Hoofer stated that he had placed
an order for 5-stamp mill and he ex-
pected to have it in operation within
the next 60 days. IL will be operated
by water power, already installed and
heretofore used to run a two. tub
arrastre. A large quantity OF ore is
now on the dump and force of men
will be employed in further opening
the mine and getting it in shape for
delivering ore steadily to the mill.

our intention to take bundle of these

also to furnish them free to any one

was $4,000. which makes the property
dine bargain in proportion to real

Sixth street.
The lots are now occupied by a
Chinese wash house aud another old
wooden structure. These Mr.. Strauss
will remove and erect on the property
a two story brick building. As to
whether he will do that this year or
postpone it to future time depends
on how Grants Pass grows. II the
city has a prosperous year he may
put up the brick this Summer but
II the railroad and other undertaking
are let drop then he will postpone his

SPOKANE CAPITALISTS
VISIT GRANTS PASS
We're Investisati ting Railroad and
Mine nvestments-Wer
Pleased With City.

DIR. J. f. Reddy arrived in Grants
Pass Monday from Spokane accom-
panied by M. j. Sweeney and John
Condron. two capitalists of that city.
They spent the day here in conference
with the Gu We committee
having in C h arge the promo
tion of the railroad from Grants
Pass to the Illinois Valley. They
submitted a proposition to finance
the undertaking but their offer did
not meet the approval of the local
hackers of the ENTERPRISE and no deal
was made. Mr.. Condron is a mining
and raj lroad capitalist of Spokane as
is also Mr.. Sweeney. The latter is a
brother of Patrick Sweeney, one of
Spokane's biggest miilionaires. and
who has investments all over the
Northwest, among them being real
estate holdings of nearly million
dollars that he acquired in Portland
last year. Messrs. Sweeney and Con-
dron were well pleased with tbs sub
stantial appearance of Grants Pass
and with the encouraging outlook for
its future. Though knowing only
in general way of the resources
that give the backing to Grants Pass,
yet they we're confident this place had
a territory, rich in varied resources
that if made tributary by means of
steam and electric roads would make
this city a second Spokane. Railroads
alone built up Spokane from a sage.
brush village to one of the largest
and most prosperors cities in the
Northwest There are now no less
than IL steam and electric railroads
runniig into Spokane, and two steam
and two electric roads will be added
to the list during this year and early
next year.
Messrs. Sweeney and Condron while
in the city visited the Miners Associa.
tion exhibit room and were we'll
pleased with the showing Of minerals.
The copper ores especially interested
the and it is quite probable that so
loon as the wagon roads are in better
condition and the snow out of the
mountains in the copper districts that
these gentlemen will return and
thoroughly examine a number of the
best copper properties.

Davis Brewer, the then leading at
torney of Grants Pass, was most radi-
cal in his remarks against this COM
psny and all of its doings, and after l
assumed full ownership of the
Courier, told me to my face that l
was the abject tool of Harry Miller
and the S. p. d. g. l.. Co. l did not
believe this because they had not
dominated my paper nor had receiv-
ed anything from Mr.. Miller or his
company but legitimate business and
their friendship. and more of the lat
ter than of the former.
This attorney, Davis Brewer, had in
his possession score of letters signed
by prominent officials and business
men from whence he came and which
l had the pleasure to read; they gave
me great confidence in the man and l
employed him. He was aged and ex-
perienced; i was young and green
and needed prop we were very
thick but it did not last long soon
Mr.. Brewer approached me for the
purpose of controlling the heart and
soul of the Courier, adversely to the
best interests of the town, as l be-
lieved, we exchanged respective ac-
counts, settled up and quit. l have
always believed that Davis Brewer
wrote and signed those letters of

10 ERECT OIL TANKS
IN GRANTS PASS
Southern Pacific Locomotives TO
Burn Crude Petroleum.
Change Soon.

Colonel j. B. Eddy of Portland,
right-of-way agent for the Hartman
lines in Oregon, was in Grants Pass
Tuesady to secure a permit from the
courcil to allow the Southern Pacific
to erect crude petroleum tanks within
the city. During the day Colonel
Eddy saw the various members of the
council and he was given the assur.
ance that the city would make no
digestion. The oil tanks will be bull
of steel and so protected that they
neither will catch fire nor can readily
be set afire. As fire risk to the city
they will not be so great as the ranks
OF hundreds of cords Of wood and the
big coal bunkers that the Company
has had in the yard here for years.
There will be two of these tanks,
one for storage purposes Of 80, 900 bar.
rels and one from which locomotives
will be supplied that will hold 2S, 900
gallons. The small supply tank will
be located where the coal bunke~ now
stands. The big storage tank will be
located 300 feet distant from tie sup
ply tank and will stand near Gilbert
creek along side the siding leading to
the present woodward.
Seel plates and frame work are
now being prepared at the rolling
mills and will be shipped all ready
10 be put in place and riveted.
Colonel Eddy thought that the ma
terial would arrive in Grants Pass by
the first Of March that the tank crew
would be here by that time to set
them up. Tanks will also be erected
at Roseburg, Junction City and Port
land. The Company now has tanks
at Ashland. All locomotives on the
Southern Pacific system in California,
Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico
now burn oil and now all the Oregon
lines are to use oil. The o. r. q
N. and its branches and the Astoria
road now use oil burners. So soon as
the tanks are completed the ]ocomo.
tives on this division will bu sent in
relays 10 the shops and have their fur.
naces changed to oil burners and the
tenders fitted with tank for holding
oil.
In burning oil IN a locomotive or
other furnace, steam is forced out
with the oil under such pressure as
to blow the oil into spray which on
being ignited burns with fierce
heat, quite equal to the best coal fire.
Thus dead locomotive could not
be fired up with oil. A small station
,ry boiler at each round house will
supply the steam, when necessary to
locomotives The Southern Pacific
aid off their wood cutting gangs
,early year ago and their wood sup
ply has been allowed to run down.
such as will be left will be used for
iepot stoves. Disseminating the coal
bunker here will bring the discharge,
'r transfer to other work of the four
men who now unload coal cars and
,oal up locomotives. A fireman will
till be required ON the locomotives,
nut his strenuous work will be gone
md he will only have to adjust the
'alves regulating the supply of oil to
he furnace and the water to the
,oiler.
