stantial revenue to the new owner,
will best be estimated when II Is
known that in the past the claims
along the creek, worked as they were
by simple hand mining and sluicing,
has produced at least s1,000,000 per
mile.
Practically all of this property is
virgin ground. as the boulders We're

of the primitive methods-that Of

against SO which is now paid. All
these conditions were in evidence
when the sturdy and eager prospec-
tor discovered the first traces of the

trained eye would have been passed

Mr.. and Mrs. Kuhn have spent the
last two years at their country estate
In Germany. Previous to this time
he spent much of his life In tho
mines OF British Columbia and Cen
trail and South America, besides talk
ing flyer at mining in Germany and
the Ural mountains In Europe, Know
ing this, one can easily imagine how
Mr.. Kuhn "heard the call OF the
wild" again, Notwithstanding he was
doing European society, killing time
at the opera and In the cafes. This
desire for the hills again brought him
to America and he Is accompanied by
Mrs. Kuhn and Walter Whanschaff,
OF London, England. One OF the
first things they did after arriving
in America was to visit the Seattle
exposition, where he was attracted
to the gold exhibit OF Slskiyou coun.
ty and came to Grants Pass to out
fit, which he did. While here he was
induced to go to Galice, where sever
al weeks was spent, during which
time he heard OF the wealth OF the
Briggs strike in Slskiyou and Jose
phlne counties, and after being taken
there by Mr.. George Sanders, OF this
city, decided that that was Just tho
right country and what he was look

add hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the trade of the city. The indus
tries already mentioned will make
Grants Pass a city of great import
ance within very few years and yet
little or nothing has been said in re-
gard to our great mercantile estab-
lishments, which carry large stocks
and supply the needs of a wide ter
ritory. Our stores in all lines are
worthy of a much greater city and
their trade is rapidly increasing. One
of the signs of prosperity is the de-
mand for the best goods. This IS a
noticeable feature in the large stores
and speaks volumes for the class OF
people who make M the population.
AS trade center it has the reputa-
tion of being one Of ''o best towns
in Southern Oregon. Us LAWYERS and
doctors secure for T. amselves a
clientage from a l~~ section of
country. As an illustration we will
mention one of our eye, ear, nose and
throat specialists, DR.. VI. c. Findlev,
who draws hundreds Of patients
every month from long distances for
treatment. These people pay out
considerable sums of money to our
hotels, to say nothing as to the
amount they leave in our stores.
This business of DR.. Findley illus
trates the high character of our pro-
fessional men and at the same time
reflects credit on our city as success
full men never locate in mediocre
towns.

VIII Introduce Up-to-Date Methods
of Mining Which Will Save
the Gold.

In one of our current issues we
had very interesting article about
the famous Briggs mine and the Won
derful richness of the Sucker Creek
district as a mining territory. That
others than the gentlemen who are
, operating the Briggs mine are in
terested in that part of the county
Is shown by the fact that already
many new prospectors have gone In
there and negotiations for some of
the richer claims have been consum-
mated
Charles A. McKinnon, OF Holland,
who has a property on Sucker creek
consisting of eight claims, was in the
city the past week and during his
stay here he disclosed the fact that
he had sold his claims, which are
situated two miles from the famous
Briggs discovery, to Max Kuhn, a
capitalist of Berlin, Germany, who
has been in this section of the coun-
try for the past three months look
ing for a property. The price Mr..
Kuhn paid, while 1t is $40, 100000, Ia
considered by Mr.. McKinnon as being
too low for such mine as that will
be when II Is fully equipped with all
the modern hydraulic mining ma
chinery such as Mr.. Kuhn intends in
stalling. While the price was a very
conservative one for the property
II was only that Mr.. McKinnon is
progressive gentleman and wishes tC
see more capital come into the coun
try, that he was at all induced tC
accept the price he did for his prop
erty. We can with proprlety quote
Mr.. McKinnon "The wealth OF golt
in that district is hardly dreamed OF
much less realized" II is easily tt
be seen that he proposes TO be one o
the first to be benefited by the new
life In that section and also want
to be In a better financial condition

investments which are TO be ha'

Jud Pernoll, who has made such
a record with the Aberdeen base
ball team that Detroit offered $4,000
for him for 1910. has been spending
the winter at his home at Applegate.
On Tuesday night he met with an ac-

is causing him considerable anxiety.
He was engaged In tying horse In

Roseburg's New Pavement.

The Evening Review of Roseburg

new pavement, says:
"Our paved streets are appreciated
more than ever since the rainy wealth

the rain half so much now, as the
pavement will be dry most OF the
time even during the winter, 1t is
now time to begin figuring on more
than doubling the paved area next
year. Among the extensions already
talked of are seven blocks on Lane
street, from Main to the Umpqua
river bridge; one block on Main,
from Lane to Cass, to connect with
the present paving on that street;
two blocks on Jackson, to reach the
Deer Creek bridge; three blocks on
Oak, from Jackson to the railroad
track; two blocks each on Pine and
Stephens. from Oak to Lane; three
blocks on Rose from Lane, to Wash

great revenue in connection with the
lumber business here and many
thousands Of boxes are shipped dur
