Have we been defeetedf' said one
leading temperance worker in Grants
Pass, as he was accosted by the
Courier man. who was wondering Just
how the recent city election pleased
some people. Then this party con-
tinued: "Say, my friend, have you
looked over those rsturnsf II not
you will find them decidedly inter
esting reading. Why. do you know
that there were fully 200 votes more
this election than there were last
year1 And that IL not all The most
significant and escouraing aspect Of
the whole matter 10 that the present
Mayor only gained two votes in his
majority over what he had last year.
What does that meanp Why. it
means simply this, that We temper.
ance people rolled up 200 more votes
than we had last year. Say, you can
mark my word. those fellows who are
growing 80 loudly now and who are
making fun of the church and tenn
perancs people, will be singing an
other tune about the ides Of next
June. II we only lacked 60 In votes
OF carrying eur mas through this
time, what will be the results when
the good people all over Josephine
county take a hand in the battle Of
ballots next June? To my way Of
thinking, the outlook is most en-.
couraging and while for one, would
liked to have seen all our men elected.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

In converting with the CourieI
newsRath erer. Cbas. KiDgwell, the
experienced florist who located in this
city, last spring, took occasion to
comment after this fashion: ~ think
Grants Pass has one Of the ideal
sites for picturesque landscape TO be
found anywhere. Why, have been
over Europe, through Southern Cali
fornis and in various parts of this and
other countries. where they boast of
their scenery, but nowhere have l
found anything that would surpass
what we have right here at Grants
Pass. But say, how l do wish that
the citizens would beautify their
home places. There is nothing they
could possibly do that would enhance
the attractiveness of the place more
than to tear down the old fences and
fix up neat lawns and make their
yards beautiful. And IL would pay
them well to do 70, for ii would cause
newcomers to stop and regard their
plscs and should they desire to dis
pose Of the same. these slight i'm
provements would add very materially
to the desirability Of the property.
And say. just one more thing let me
suggest and that is that we all pull
together. Let us silence the knockers
and croakers and then we will soon
build up fine city, for we have
evgything else to be desired. Nature
has been bountiful in bestowing upon
us all the resources hesrt could
desire and now it devolves upon us to
get in and put our shoulders to the
wheel and make things CO." When
1t is known that Mr.. Kingwell is a
landscape gardener of large exper-
iencs and one who is regarded ss
authority upon such matters. his
words should have much weight.

BALTIMORE AMERICAN SAYS
THAT RAWHIDE MAY BE
THE MEANS.

The fame of Rawhide has Travelled
near and far. and its reputation ha.
spread as rapidly as it's growth. II
is being talked of in the East and thu
West by all classes of people. and al,
classes of people from everywhere
are making for it. The Baltimore
American, which usually smacks O;
mining, has the following about the
camp:
1t Is not mere hyperboIic figure
OF speech to say that American cities
spring up in a day-between the ris-
ing and the setting of the sun. If II
is the population and not the houses
that constitutes city, several cities
OF this country that are now thriving
and well established, grew in inst
that way-got beyond the village
class in less than twenty-four hours.
Guthrie may be mentioned as a TWEEN
ty-four hour town; also Goldfield,
ana according to reports, another
Nevada spot, rejoicing in the sugges-
tive name of Rawhide, became a citv
with a population of $500 on last
Monday Rawhide, it seems, is a re-
petition of Goldfield it is another
Goldfield, in fact, so the enthusiasts
who have made a grand rush for it
believe.
IL Is rumored that gold ledge has
heen found in the Nevada desert. To-
Gated about half way between Reno
and Tonopah Wonderful tales have
noated through the mining regions
concerning the richness of the ore a
limestone rock, that has been discoy-
cred at the point already known to
fame as Rawhide. One report de-
clares that samples of the ore have
assayed $4,000 to the ton. There
Is such a firm belief that Rawhide is

tent hotels are renting beds in eight
hour shifts. 1t is scarcely safe to as
sumo that a gold reef richer than the
African Rand has been located in the
arid regions of Nevada, but the de-
velopments at Rawhide will be fol-
lowed with interest.
Such chance discoveries of the vel
low metal as those of Goldfield and
Rawhide, in region that had prev
iously been explored by prospectors
during long period. bears out the
theory entertained by many mining
experts that the worlds gold depos-
It's have as yet been barely touched.
With regard to the gold output from
the Klondike and Nome districts of
Alaska, for instance many experi-

enced prospectors entertain the be-
lief that the placer finds which have
been thus far worked are but indi-
cations of richer stored deposits that
have not as yet been located. There
Is prevailing belief among Alaska
miners that great lodges of rich gold
yielding ores will yet be discovered
in Alaska. In fact, there is not a
gold-yielding region in any section of
the world concerning which it is not
believed that the output is likely to
be increased by new finds-such ac-
cidental uncoverings as those of
Goldfeld and Rawhide.

more than a decade. Alaska has
been close second to Colorado.

of the first enthusiastic reports, may
put Nevada at the top in the size of
competing gold crops. AS to this.

Nevada From Two
Points of View
HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL PEOPLE
COULD NOT LOCATE GREAT
STATE or NEVADA.

The group of highly intellectual
people was discussing Maeterlinck' s
essays and other erudite subject
with ease and skill. Directly the
conversation turned upon a recent
happening in Nevada, Fhereupon a
frankly ignorant person asked the
- exact location of Nevada
The group of intellectual people
was silent as one man for awhile.
Then the individuals began to express
Stheir opinions on the subject. One
man said that Nevada was north of
Idaho, but when the location of
}tdaho was asked, he relapsed into a
dignified silence.
A woman with well-defined ideas
nn all sorts and conditions of things
said that Nevada was bounded by
colorado on the east, and maintain
ed her position in an Grafton of great
brilliance.
Two or three of the group main
YALE ed Inat Nevada was near neigh
'spor OF Mexico, but whether old or
New Mexico they were not suree.
"A young man who is a Phi. d. of a
noted institution said that the State
TO the south of Nevada was undoubt
eddy Oklahoma, and a woman who
insisted that Nevada was some
where near Oregon" was laughed 10
scorn.
When several of the persons who
were agreed about telepathy. and the
superiority of mind TO matter, and
psychological influence, began to
quarrel with each other over this
geographical detail, some one pro-
duced an atlas, and then lot of
shamed men and women hastily
: changed the subject back to less prac
tical and more learned subjects.
This little incident goes to show
that not all the inhabitants of these
United States know everything about
their own countree, for-where is
Nevada?-Baltimore News.
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-03-08

in fact, do not believe that such a
showing was ever seen in any camp.
Busy is no name for the camp, AMI
there are crowds of people coming in
every day. The streets are thronged
all day long and all night, too, for
that matter, and there is more BUSH
ness done there in a day than there
is in the average place in a month.
Il saw four eight-horse teams GO
ing out while was there, going out
with ore, and that's what looks good
in camp. There are more mining
people in there from all parts of the
East and West than were ever gath
cred in one place before, and every
one of them says that Rawhide is the
greatest camp that they have ever
seen. My observations lead me to
believe that they are right. / have
no interests in the camp. but | wish
had. l believe that We will hear of
great developments there, and that
Rawhide will be another of the sem
sational camps of Nevada"
H. NJ. Teaf, auditor of the Bel
mont Mining Company, returned OH
Friday from the coast, and while he
did not stop at Rawhide, he heard
nothing but the name of the camp
all the way, and meeting those com
ing back from it, heard nothing but
praises for it.
"Everybodyton the train from San
Francisco was going to Rawhide,
said Mr.. Teaf land they could talk
of nothing else but the wonders of
the camp. The majority of the crowd
went to Schurz, and there were met
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1908-03-08

the crowds coming back. They were
all of one voice on the merits of the
camp, and / did not hear single
knock. Everybody had tales to tell
of the gold that he had seen, and
not a few of them carried samples
with them, of which they were as
proud as the most costly treasures.
Most of the people going in e
seemed to have money, but thereS
were a number who had just enough
to get there. and to provide a meal
or two and bed, perhaps, for q
night. I asked the people of this
kind what they intended doing, and
they said, Take a chance / am
afraid from all that l hear that it is
not a very good place to take a
chance at the present time. A man
wants some money going in there"
Nat C. Goodwin & Co. of Reno.
and their associates, including E. W.
King. the Montana millionaire, who
had already considerable interest in
Rawhide. have completed the deal
whereby they became the possessors
of control of the Rawhide Coalition
Mines Company. The consideration
is said to have been 100000, which
is the biggest deal that has yet been
made in the new gold field

RUSH Continues
into RAWHIDE
Continued from Page one.)

Bond and Company of Goldfeld, who
got into Rawhide some time ago AMI
secured the Red Top claim, are
among those to whom congratula-
tions are coming. News has jus;
been received that the Truett lease
on the Red Top broke into ore on
Thursday night at a depth of sixty
feet. which for one foot will average
$500 ton. The shaft. it is said. is
sinking between two big veins,
which, 1t is expected. will come to-
gether at the 100-foot level, toward
which sinking is going on as fast as
possible. Truett is the Goldfielder
who had the lucky lease which was
named for him on the Mohawk. The
Clawson lease on the Red Top is also
said to be looking very we'll, having
several seams of high grade ore.
