MAY MEAN FACTORY
FOR GRANTS PASS

A. T. Lewis, proprietor of the Grants
Pass art studio ON north Sixth street
received letters last week from
the Canadian government granting
patent in the Dominion on new
wall brace and tie for cement blocks
This invention enables the builder
to.erect cement, brick or stone struc-
ture with a complete air chamber
throusho the entire walls OF the
building, rendering il absolutely frost,
heat and moisture proof.
Mr.. Lewis had already received let
ters patent for this invention in the
United States, and contractors in va
rious parts of the country have been
inau ring into the invention, while
structural engineers who have seen
the block aud brace pronounce 1t the
most feasible and sanitary building
block device on the market. 1t is pos
.ible " ith Mr.. lie ais device TO build
with either brick. stone or cement
with 'qusl facility. The block and
tie are marvels of simplicity and the
cost of machinery necessary in their
manufacture is compsrativel, nominal.
There appears to be no reason why
the block should not come into general
use throughout the country. while it,
man uufacturs should bring about the
establishment Of new faotury right
here in Grsuts Pass and very re
muperatiye industry.

Takilma Smelling Com
pany Getting Ready.
ORE RUNS FIVE PER CENT
TakilmA Said to Be One of the
Best Copper Mines In
tho State.

Geo. Crerar, manager of the Takilma
Smelling Co., operating about 45
miles south esst of Grants Pass, was
in the city this week for supplies for
the mines Mr.. Crerar says the smelter
will 'blow in, about the LIST Of next
month and run till about the. 1st of
September. This smelter at Takilma
has been in operation since 1904. Be.
fore starting this season considerable
Improvement will be made on the plant,
including mechanical charging ap.
paratus to replace the hand feed.
The plant has capacity of from 100 to
so tons of ore per day. The hauling
of. coke to the mine and smelter .and
bringing out the copper matte has
been done in spast years by the Mo.
Intyre Transportation Co. Hereafter
the hauling will bs done by the CON-
pany, under Mr.. McIntyre's supervis-
ion. The clerical work such as receiv-
ing and weighing coke. matte, ETC..
will be couduced at the mine.
Very few copper mines in the coun-
try are rich enough to stand 45-mile
wagon haul and make it pay reas-
enable div idend but the Takilma has
been able to do this. The ore averages
per cent whereas majority Of the
other mines on the coast are handling
216 and per cent ore.
There are at present six or eight men
at work at the mine and smelter, but
Is soon as the latter is started next
month the working force will be In
creased to twenty or more. K. O.

NEW GOLD STRIKE
NEAR OREGON BONANZA
Jones Bros. and Harrison Bros.
Reported to Have Taken
Out About S.. 700.

In response to highly roseate
rumors here last Saturday morning
that a rich gold strike had been made
over OH Williams Greek above the
Briggs ranch. A couple of automobiles
were chartered and a party went out
to investigate the discovery. This
new discovery while not as rich as
reported is nevertheless worth while
and may eventually develop into one
Of the best in the county. The strike
WAS made on the hill just back of the
Oregon Bonanza mine, about mile
and half from the John Miller
store. 1t was made by the Harrison
brothers, old time miners in this Sec
tion who have been fairly successful
In the past, and Jones brothers,
owners of the marble quarries.
The Jones boys had found trace OF
the discovery and offered the Harri-
sons a half interest II they would To-
cate the vein. which they did. The
Harrisons have struck number Oh
good pockets and recently took out, as
near as eau be learned, between $4,000
and $4,000. Both the Harrisons and
Jones we're very reticent in talking OF
the find. which is generally construed
to mean they have something good
and do not wish to be bothered by an
influx of new prospectors.
The best that can be learned at this
time is that they have ledge eight
inches in width which Is said TO be
very rich. But this property will
doubtless be heard from again soon
and with even more encouraging re-
| norts

the loss is adjusted and other ar.
rangements can be made.
The shortage of hose indicated at
this fire should emphasize the impera-
tive necessity Of an immediate order
for at least 500 feet more FIRE hose
by the city council. Had the depart
ment had this needed 500 feet when it
arrived on the scene Of Wednesday, s
fire Mayor Smiths residence would
have been saved with loss not to
exceed perhaps 800. There is also
manifest need of more fire hydrants
throughout the city. None will deny
that Grants Pass should have better
fire protection.

like the church. was a veritable woodland
of palms and ferns.
The yellow chrysanthemum has been a
favorite flower in wedding decorations this
autumn. Time was when yellow was
rarely seen at such marriage, because
it was considered the emblem of one for
saken. Now somebody has dug out
Japanese legend which proves that the
big yellowp flower is the emblem of I'M
dying love. Here's the story: Away back
in the misty past a Japanese army was
sent out to assist China in conquering the
TartarS to the northward. The Japanese
leader was Prince kamoni. young and
very popular member Of the royal family.
When he set forth he was presented by
his sweetheart with magnificent chrys-
anthemum in token Of her regard and con-
stancy. On his shield he had painted
several years he carried this shield
through fine array of victories, never
once losing a battle, and sending terror
to the hearts of the enemy wherever the
yellow chrysanthemum appeared. At last
the sadly reduced Chinese army met the
combined forces OF the Tartars in the
fiercest and bloodiest battle ever known In
that part of the world. Although greatly
outnumbered, the Chinese army held its
position, though it could gain no advan-
tage. AS a last resort. the Japanese COM
mander formed his troops into a flying
wedge. with himself at the apex. and
charged the enemy so vigorously that the
battle ended in their complete rout.
Though he was killed. with nearly his
entire command, SO noted was the victory
that 1t is still glorified in history. The
Japanese killed several times their own
number, and the prince was found sur
rounded by scores of the bodies of the
Tartar warriors. his yellow chrysanthe-
mum shield across his lifeless breast.
His sweetheart never married. and yellow
NUNS were kept on her grave forever
after.
