That the construction Of a noun
tain water system with the Thorn
Hollow springs as the source Of sup
ply will not in any way interfere with
the prospective development of iaIrf
water and power system from tfG
north fork of the Umatilla river Ia
the declaration of Will Moore, mem
Der of the city water commission
Under the plans Of the board pre-
vision is made for going to the north
fork for water if possible to do so lat
er," says Mr.. Moore. "The ThorT
Hollow springs will be on the route
to north fork; the pipe line will bs
sufficiently large to bring water to
the city from the north fork and the
reservoirs to be built here will suk-
flee for north fork water as well O.
for the water from Thorn Hollow"
Personally. he i. in favor of q mn
nicipal electric plant in connection
with a water system taking from tho
north fork, says this member Of tine
board. He has always favored the
project and will be for it when tina
issue is brought to the front If the
scheme figures out right.
However, he says that to go to the
north fork for water and electricity
will naturally involve much delay
Therefore ne stands for the construc-
tion of the Thorn Hollow system now
and for the extension of the pipe linz
to the north fork as quickly there
after as is feasible.
'If we have good luck with our
bonds we should be able to commercs
condemnation suit and sell the vatef
construction work soon and have wa
ter from Thorn Hollow ready for tns
people a year from now. That would
provide water for the branch asylum
by the time the asylum is ready foe
occupancy"
From North Fork.
When Engineer Frank c. Kelsay
made the survey for the city water
commission he estimated the cost Of
bringing water to the city from the
north fork of the Umatilla would be
26,119.50. OF this amount s12,sst
would go for the construction of the
headworks, diversion dam and set
tling tank at a point where the north

according 70 NJ. Moore. the engt-
neer also made estimates on the COST
of a power plant in connection With
a north fork water system. He estl-
mated it would cost s406 600 to corr
struct a joint electric and water sys-
tenn taking water just below Wenahs.
springs from the then proposed Fur
nish flume. In the view of Mr.. Moore
it would cost s45O,O0O to construct
such a plant if necessary to go to the
north fork of the river
Powers Are Limited.
"Under the city charter the water
commission is limited to acting WITH
reference to the water system and
has no authority to do anything in
connection with an electric plant"

board. Accordingly he feels that ac-
ton along this line would have to be
undertaken by the council or by thS
people direct.

FEDERAL MONEY FOR
FOREST FIRE FIGHTERS

F. A. Elliott, state forester has re-
ceived the following letter from Con-
gresham Hawley at Washington:
Mr.. S. A. Elliott, State Forester, Sal
EN-, Oregon.
My Dear Mr.. Elliott: Since the re-
ceipt of your communication asking
my aid in securing proper federal
allotment of funds for use in the pre-
vention and suppression of forest
fires in Oregon, have taken this
matter up with renewed activity and
have had the matter before both the
Secretary of Agriculture and the for
ester of the United States forest SER
vice. I find willingness here to
cooperate with the state of Oregon
in every way possible to prevent the
disastrous fires which annually de-
stroy so much wealth in our state
There appeared to be a question In
the mind of the secretary of agri-
culture whether the Weeks law was
not intended to apply primarily to
those states in which the government
is not already spending considerable
sums in the protection Of the forests
on mountain slopes, and he requested
the forester to discuss this matter
with me further personally. l an
now glad to inform you that the as
sociate forester authorizes you, un'
der the federal allotment of s5, 5,00(
for Oregon, to employ at once as
many federal patrolmen within this
amount and at the same salary pait
to guards on the national forests az
seem necessary In your judgment t
properly handle the fire situation. Ii
case Of a great emergency he states
an additional allotment can be made
you.
With best wishes, am,
Truly yours,
w. G. HAWLEY,
Washington, August IL.

gravity Also that not a drop of
water Will have to be pumped. 1t
VIII be the cheapest and most satis-
factory OF all underground mining.
The ore body will be crosscut from
time to time as the tunnel goes In,
thus will Mr.. Bowden be able to COM
pute at any time his tonnage blocked
out. Speaking Of the mine Manager
Bowden said:
while this property can not be
called a low grade mine, yet we will
call this one to predicate what wish
to say regarding ores In this county,
and that is, that 1t is the big low
grade mines that will make Josephine
county great as a mining region.
There is more wealth added to the
nation and to the world in general
each year from low grade mines than
from high grade mines. The high
grade do not have the tonnage so per-
sistent in continuity as the big low
grade mines, like our Vanguard for
instance. We have valuable proper
ty, and 1t will make one Of the big
mines on this coast"

VANGUARD NINE SHOWS :
WIDE VEIN OF ORE

Among the many valuable mining
properties of Josephine county Is the
property Of the Vanguard Gold and
Copper Mining company, located 7
miles west Of Kerby. Officers of the
company are Samuel Bowden. George
Calhoun, W. F. Horne, H. C. Dixon
and Charles Phillips.
The property consists of four
claims along the same ledge run
ming up steep mountain, which fur
nishes an ideal tunnel site near the
base Of the hill. Mr.. Bowden is man.
ager Of the mine, and he has pro-
jected tunnel SKI on the vein and
is running in on ore, which is a heavy
sulphide, gold and copper, and iden-
tical with the Almeda. The two ores
cannot be told apart from a physical
standpoint. This tunnel Is now in
80 feet, along the hanging wall, and
the breast is all ore. How wide the
ore body is, is not known as no cross
cut has been made to the foot wall.
That 1t Is large body, is evidenced
by all geological conditions. The
bore has gone In without single set
Of timbers, except at the mouth OF
the tunnel, where one set holds the
entrance firmly.
Timber for mining is abundant and
OF the best quality. Water for a
treatment plant is accessible, more
than can ever be used.
1t is the intention Of the principals
to arrange for funds with which to
send the tunnel in 800 feet further
The hill will give this tunnel 1900
feet depth, or rather 1900 feet OF
Backs, This means that a vast ton.
mage can be stopped and handled by

A. H. MOCK GETS
FINE SALMON CATCH

Constable A. H. Mock, expert ang-
Ter, landed fish Saturday morning
which weighed total of IS pounds.
He hooked more which he lost. "It
was hoodo day for me said the ex-
pert fisherman. l not only lost sew
en- fish but lost my watch as well,
while en- route to the river"
The separate weights of Mock's
catch were; Five weighed pounds
each, one seven pounds. one 16
pounds and one 35 pounds. Speaking
of the river he said:
"One of the fish I caught this
morning was steelhead. He put up
such fight that l thought / had a
Chinook.
II never saw as many fish In
Rogue river as saw Saturday.
They were running in big schools and
the water in places was black hue
as a result. But 1t is difficult to
catch them. They never care to eat
anything after leaving salt water,
hence they spurn fly or spoon. AS
result of their disdain for food many
of them die, and the river water this
winter will be affected as result OF
many dead fish"

SURVEYORS BUSY IN
THE MERLIN YARDS

Busy Saturday at Merlin was a
surveying party in the employ of the
Southern Pacific, and on all sides at
that town, the question was, will a
line be surveyed from here into ILL.,
nois valley?"
The surveying crew was busy
around the depot property and nc
straight-away work has yet been un-
dertaken. Whether 1t is a fact that
MIRO Brien intends to chastise Grants
Pass, whether he Is bluffing OF
whether the work at Merlin is merely
local is the present question.
Arrival of the surveyors has caused
no excitement on the real estate ex
change of that city.
