THE BIG FOUR PLACER
HAS CHANGED HANDS

weeks ago to interest parties In
the Big Four placer, very promis-
ing property at the mouth of Pickett
creek, near the Booth ferry. He re-
turned last week with |. j. Merrill,
president of the Modern Mining
Machinery Co., who wished to look
over the property. After careful
and thorough examination and pros
pecting OF the ground Mr.. Merrill,
who Is a practical miner with yeare'
OF experience. was SO favorably Inn
pressed with the prospects that he
has made arrangements to take over
the property. This mine was former

has had series Of ownerships with
varying success as to productiveness
It Is supplied with a small hydraulic
equipment which will be replaced
with larger pipes and giants, con-
centratIng machinery and everything
necessary for first-class hydraulic
proposition. The work OF equipping
and operating will be in charge OF
G. d. Crane. who has had many
years OF experience In the Southern
Oregon mines. Work commenced at
the Big Four Monday with a crew
and within 30 days the mine will be
IN operation with complete equip
ment.
Mr.. Merrill, who Is constantly In
touch with the mining men OF vari.
GUS sections OF the country, says that
the Southern Oregon section has not
received It's proper share OF attention
simply because II has been consider.

he says, is rapidly giving place to the
feeling OF confidence in the section
and he predicts that Josephine coun'

practical horticultural meeting, as it
included the packing of apples and
every part of handling of the COM
mercial apple. Excursions were run
from all lines into Council Bluffs
and the gathering was one which will
long be remembered by those who
participated Our townsman, A. n.
Parsons, sent 25 boxes of the Yellow
Newtown pippins and and Spit2en-
berg apples to the show and also for
warded a large number of the Grants
Pass and Josephine county booklets
for distribution among the fruit
growers of the Middle West, In ad-
dition to the booklet, Mr.. Parsons
forwarded a large amount of special
information in regard to opportuni.
ties for investment in and around
