WORK ON BED ROCK
MACHINE COMMENCED
Inventor Gilman Here TO Com
mence Work on Barses
for Machine.

Frank L. Gilman, inventor Of Gill
mans patent mining machine for
mining the bed of rivers, and presi-
dent of the Gilman Bed Rock Mining
Co.. was in Grants Pass the first of
the week to explain his machine to
some Uf those interested in the COM
pany and to select q place for the
building of the necessary bsrges which
will support the machine. Mr.. Gill
man will return about the middle of
the month and will then commence
work on the barges and In May the
machine, now being constructed at
the Phoenix Iron Works, is to be
ready for shipment. This machine
is in shape something like an immense
hollow sad iron, something over 80
feet long and 10 feet high, to be con.
structed entirely Of steel and will
have weight of 30 tons. One of
Mr.. Gilman's patents covers the au-
tomato siphon with l4-inch nozzle
and it is calculated to dry" the ma.
chine in . very few minutes. Mr..
Gilman has made two smaller ma.
chimes and he says that they worked
to perfection.
1t is we'll known that the bed of
Rogue River is rich in fine and
coarse gold, and the exposing Of bed
rock by any means has meant rich
returns. The diverting Of the water
from the river led at the Gold Ray
dam while it was under construction
uncovered an immense amount of gold
which was quite an item IN helping
the expense account. II Mr.. Gilman's
machine proves to be the success
which he believes it will be 1t will
mean big dividends to the stock
holders.
Mr.. Gilman Is not stranger to
Rogue River as he was one of the two
men who first went from Grants Pass
to the coast down the river about IA
years ago, building their boat at
Grants Pass and making the start
from here. He has also spent msnv
months prospecting on the river. His
home for many years has been at
Eugene where his family now is.
They will, however. make Grants
Pass their home later.
Mr.. Gilman returned to Grants Pass
Friday morning and work will be
commenced Immediately.
