A Land of Pure Gold.

Ever since the days of 40 mining
has been going on in the Grants Pass
country and many millions have
been taken from the placer dfggings
of this locality. 1t is fact that in
the old days this part of Oregon was
classed with California and much Of
the gold taken out here went to
swell the reputation of the golden
commonwealth that overshadowed
this section. Placer mining still con-
tlnues in this vicinity and more than
s1,500,OO0 in gold is taken RON the
placer grounds of Southern Oregon
annually.

portant letter to those who have
limited means and are In search of
home in this country. He says:
II arrived with my family from
Kansas after u series Of crop failures
in the spring of 1897, with more ex-
perience than money. After looking
over the valley, which was princi-
pally sage brush at that time, pur-
chased a five-acre tract of land on
time, about three-fourths of mile
from town, paying $125 per acre.
