every young lady who is thinking of

them save you their votes and give
you a subscription for The Daily
Rogue River Courier. 1t will be easy
to secure these subscriptions, as the

have been engaged In the real estate
subdivision business for eleven years
and have investigated many Sec
tions and can truthfully say that
this country has them all beaten
In fact the people here do not
realizs what they have here, If they
did land would not be so cheap as
it is, The greatest values in real
estate in the world can be obtained
here.
This district is the greatest apple
and pear country in America, It can
not be beaten anywhere, and have
lived in a pretty good fruit country,
California.
"Why, If they had such opportun-
titles in California as they have here,
all Europe would know about it in
month. They would spread the in
formation broadcast,
"The soil and climate are ideally
adapted for the growing of apples
and pears and this country is des-
tined to produce the prize-winning
fruit of the world In few years.
But the country is practically new
one. 1t has not been developed
But this condition can not last much
longer. | look for a great deal of
activity this fall in the Grants Pass
district, for the world is beginning
to find out that there Is such a
place where such magnificent oppor-
tunities exist.
Everything points to the fact
that the city of Grants Pass is on
the verge of a great development
and firmly believe that its growth
within the next few years will as
tonish people. The Commercial club
Is doing a great deal Of good and is
worthy of all the support that can
/
be given 1t"
Before coming here Mr., Davis
operated In the Turlock district In
California, where he sold 5000 acres
in small tracts In less than five
months. In this tract forty acres
was the most that any one person
could purchase,
As an example OF the methods that
Mr.. Davis pursues when he inaugur-
ates a selling campaign Is the man
ner in which he sold s25O,00O worth
OF real estate on the first day that
the Turlock tract was put on the
market After an extensive adver-
tislng campaign In the San Francis
co papers, two trains OF ten cars
each were loaded with people and
taken to the tract.
This Is the first big sale reported
this season, but there are several
others in view and everything indl

But these are not the only posi-
bilities in railroad building for
this project, as all connected with
Grants Pass. John R. Allen, by the
terms of his franchise, is required
to commence construction of this
end of the proposed electric line
from Grants Pass to Ashland by the
middle of December of this year 1t
is generally believed that Mr.. Allen
is in the employ Of Hill. though this
is vigorously denied, but it is re-

Hill Appears Also.

No sooner had the Hartman peo-
pie started work before another
large surveying party put in its ap-
pearance. This party split into two,
the main party going to Galice and
is working along the Rogue river
from that point, while the remand
er of the party went to the Illinois
valley.
No definite knowledge has been
secured as to the identity of this
party, but the logic of the situation
indicates that they are Hill men.
The Hill interests have confessed
to the ownership Of the Pacific &
Eastern, which is building across the
Cascades from Eagle Point to a
junction with the Oregon Trunk.
Those familiar with the tactics of
Hill assert confidently that he will
not permit his road to stop at Med
ford That he will push on to tide
water is the belief of men who have
made a study of railroad general
ship 1t is pointed out the most
feasible way to the sea is to follow
the water grade of the Rogue to the
coast
In this connection it is pointed out
that Hill has a penchant for water
grades. as is evidenced by his build
ing of the North Bank down the
Columbia.

A news dispatch from San Fran

 MINING CONGRESS IN SEPTEMBER

LOS ANGELES. June 2l.-The Si- .erra Madre club of los Angeles. the first organization of its kind in any frSt-class' city in the United States. will be the host of the American Mining congress from September 26 to october 1 of this year, when the annual convention will be in session.
 A far-reaching campaign of pub licity has been devised and is now being placed in effect, with the pur- pose of securing at least 5000 dele gates from all over the United States, Mexico and Canada. Conser- vation. as it effects the miner and the oil man, will be the keynote and already such men as Clifford Pinchot. Governor Clark of Alaska and Sena- tors Heyburn and Borah have con scented to be present to air their views upon the question.
 There is also a strong probability that Colonel Roosevelt, himself will step into the breach with one of his characteristic. straightfrom-th -the-shoul- der speeches. and if he should it will tax the ingenuity of the executive committee to find a hall sufficiently large to accommodate the crowd.
 The Sierra Madre club is now housed in as cozy and comfortable quarters as any similar organization on the coast and numbers 250 prom inent oil and moining operators in its membership. Among the most wide " known mining members are Seeley w AIudd. John Hays Hammond. :. Chester Beatty. Daniel C. Jackling, Bob" Montgomery. George Wingheld and many others, while the oil in- duseEy is represented by such men as E. L. Doheny. T. A. ODonnell, L. P. St. Clair, J. F. Lucey Tim Spel- lacy and practically all the producers of the Kern River and San Joaquin valley fields.

RAY CENTRAL.

Boston-The Ray Central Copper Co. Is about to place orders for the equipment necessary for the first unit of It's milL While this is referred to by the mine management as an ex- perimental min 1t Is fully well known that upon its completion it will be re- garded as the first unit 'of the pre- liminary plant to be subsequently erected There is already on the pro- perty an experimental m2l in which tests have been made for many months
 The Ray Central Co. has always been regarded as a Lewinohn pro perty. but such Is not the case in the strict sence of the word. for the Lewlsohns do not now and never have had an actual stock control Through the General Development Company some s300,0G0 was placed in the Ray Central treasury for which the Lew isohn's took stock and at the same time obtained an option upon s2.000.- 900 convertible bonds.
 The actual mine management. how ever has been placed in charge of the Lewsohns. with their engineer Chan ming as general manage The present tonnage of the Ray Central property is estimated to be about 15.OOO. GOO tons. Mir. Charming himself stated some time ago that there was actually in sight 7,50e.0 .0oo tons. while in pro babie ore Indicated by the drill holes on an area similar to that proven. there were [ 500.000 tons more. Since that time Mir Charming has not stated whether his estimate of probable ore was fully justified
 Details of the proposed Ray Central mill have not been announced, but 1t will have a capacity of not less than 1000 tons per day. This capacity will be increased should future ton mage figures warrant

Tt is the intention of the direct ors to extendth membership to 800 before the American Mining con gress meets and with that object in view the nonresident initiation fee of $50 has been reduced to S25 fo- thirty days and a general invitation extended to every mining and oil man in the great Southwest The proper application blanks can be se- cured from the secretary, Sidney Norman. at the club quarters in the Columbia Truct building Los An geles.
 The membership will be kept up to the same high standard that now prevails. and it will be necessary for every applicant to give satisfactory references covering the past few years of his business experience.

COPPER.

x. Y-JOhn R. Stanton says: Al though copper prices have touched the lowest levels for the year, there seems to be about a stand-off between the producers and consumers. l do not believe there Is much metal to be had at present quotations. since the agents all report a we'll sold up condition While there is little prospect Of an i'm. mediate improvement in prices, l do not see how the market can go much lower. Any further material reductions would mean that a number Of copper companies. which are barely able to keep their heads above the surface now. would be forced under Lake is quiet and it would be hard to get over F 3-i c. for it al the moment but factories cannot run on nothing. con sumers' stocks are practically nil and it IS merely a matter Of waiting until' the consumers are forced tO come into the market again"

HARD RAIN HAS PUT WHEAT ON
 BETTER BASIS
Deluge in Northwest Lowers Price of the Grain and Gives Stocks a Better Chance of Activity,
By Frank J. Graf,

(Member Duluth Stock Exchange)
 The disposition of railroad legisla- ton has caused much relief in Wall Street, together with rain or indica- ton to that effect in the northwest have had its effect on the market in general. The decline in wheat has turned the tide for the advance in stocks. The heavy decline in wheat was due to the reported favorable con ditions for the crop in the northwest. In the copper snare market. today's market was better than for some time past. London copper was quoted somewhat lower. but had little or no ifluence on shares. Amalgamated showed almost two points advance. Old Dominion sold up to to g. This was very likely due to short interest Any one going short on old Dominion at any price is in great danger oi being forced to cover at high prices Phelps-Dodge has the controlling in teresL and little stock is on the mar ket North Butte was well support ed.

The Higbee Iron Company is incor. porated for just One Hundred Thou sand Dollars, divided into shares of the par value of one hundred dollars each. Think of 1t! Only one thousand shares! This is an exclusive company, everybody cant get in. Now. that's business point of TO small import ance, for the slightest improvement in the welfare. for the company means an increase of dollars. not cents. per share to every stockholder. and it is no unusual thing for companies or ganized on this plan to show profits of many dollars in a single day.

of his stock at such a ridiculously low figure. Five and even six hund. red dollars should be cheap for this stock figuring on the present devel opment alone; and future develop ments should, if I am any prophet, bring the ultimate returns of a share of this stock up to ten or twenty times that much.
 If seeing is believing come with us and see. Twelve dollars and twenty-four hours time will take you from the Twin. Cities to the mines and back, and it's worth more than that of any mans money just to know about these things.
 Dividends are expected to begin in the near future, to be increased as rapidly as circumstances will permit. Come in with us now as time goes on, you'll congratulate ycIrsen on your foresight.
 We're the boys on the ground We've been pioneers and we've seen things grow. It will pay you to be in with us. Such cooperation will be of advantage to you more ways than one.
