GREENBACK WILL
RESUME OPERATIONS

We learn from reliable sources
that the Greenback mine, 20 miles
north of Grants Pass, which has been
one OF the great producers OF the
country but which was shut down
a year ago, is soon to be put In opera
tion again by its old superintendent,
Cary w. Thompson, who has taken
bond and leases on the property
and will work it with large force
as soon as the mine can be re-timber-
ed and some dead work done. There
I Is a fine 40-stamp mill on the prop
erty and a first-class cyanide plant.
This property has paid to the share
holders $1,200,000 and has paid a
gross revenue of nearly $3,000,000.
There is abundant capital to re-
open the mine and the general i'm
preston of mining men who are well
acquainted with the property Is that
this will again become great pro-
ducer. AS soon as all things are in
readiness force of so men will be
taken on and mining in a regular
way will be resumed We also learn
that the old foreman Of the mine,
Mr.. Anderson, who had charge for
eight years or more, will occupy his
former position.
The resumption of work on this
popular property will be good news
to everybody in Grants Pass. The
Greenback in its palmy days dis
tributed among the business houses
Of Grants Pass considerable sums of
money annually. The new element
in our population can hardly realize
that Grants Pass was built up by
properties like the Greenback and the
placer mines of the county. They
would be astonished If told that in
the old days this volume of trade
amounted to fully half a million
dollars annually.
During the past twelve months
mining in this county has made a
new start and this year promises to
be a revival of the palmy days of
the past. The business men of this
city fully realize that our mining in
terests are looking up and that the
future of Josephine county is to be
closely connected with this industry

straight by taking Jacksonville into
camp to the tune of II to 0. The
locals were all there with the big
stick and the way they slugged the
sphere around that lot was some
thing fierce, their batting alone
would have won the game by q good
margin without the aid of Jackson

coming up and playing some ball,
playing the same old game that al
ways did and always will win, and
II they keep It up there will be
nothing to 1.-THE pennant for 1909.
They're on top now and ball playing
like last Sundays exhibition is about
the only thing that will keep them
there. Osborne pitched the record
game of the season, nobody walked:
Datters sluote the air thrice, and
up to the ninth, no hits were scored
off him. c. Wilson, the first man
up in this inning. was an easy out;
and s. Wilson, next up, made the
only hit Jacksonville was able to get.
The next two men famed. Thrasher,
the man behind" was there too,
and one thing that makes pitcher
happy Is to know there's something
behind the bat that's going to stop
the ball. Jacksonville wasn't play
Ing the game they usually put up,
and their errors all came where they
counted the most; II was sure a hard
luck game for them. Grants Pass
made few errors too, but they were

Forestry Reserve Decision.

Helena, Mont.-The registrar ana
receiver of the United States land Of
flee here have rendered Il decision re-
specting mineral claims in forest re-
serves which If affirmed by the de-
partment at Washington will do much
TO remove causes of complaint which
have in the past been lodged against
the administration of those reserves
in Western states. The case Is enti-
tied United States against Carneau
and Hickey. prospectors in the Helena
reserve. and who had located several
quartz claims therein. Charges were
brought against each location, alleging
mo discovery of minerals
The opinion says: THE only ques-
ton to be considered here Is as to
whether n discovery has been made
and the forest service mining experts
contend that there has not been, be-
cause the values obtained by him did
not meet his idea of values that should
be disclosed in discovery. Accord
ing to this idea, the expert would have
the discovery OF mineral in paying
quantities at the very outset OF the
location Such condition could not
be sustained for moment. because,
IL such were the case, prospector
would be absolutely precluded from
making location of milling claim in
the first instance, as paying mines,
generally, are not disclosed on the sur
face and are only made by explora-
ton and development"
