SHIPPING RICH MATTE
FROM ALMEDA SHELTER

During the week Courier repre-
sentative made an investigation OF
the conditions at the Almeda mine
and smelter and found the affairs
there In a most satisfactory conit-
tion'~ The mine employs large
force and Is taking out heavy tom
mage of ore every twenty-four hours.
This ore is, for the most part, Of a
high grade, becoming richer as a
greater depth is reached. Work Is
going on In several tunnels and from
each of these the ore Is run by gray-
ity to the smelter, where II Is rapid
ly turned into matte OF superior
grade. AT one time there was consid-
cradle difficulty in smelling, but all
OF this trouble has been overcome and
fhe product is now turned out in
large quantities, and is at once con-
veyed by freight wagons to the South
ern Pacific depot at Merlin. Two car
loads OF matte each week are ship
ped from that point and Il Is expect
ed that a larger tonnage will be the
result within short time.
At present the roads between the
Almeda mine and Merlin are In fine
condition, and this enables teams
employed in frelghting in coke and
taking out matte to haul heavy
loads. II is not likely that rain will
Interfere with this work before the
irst of the year. Ind the chances are
that not even then. The rains. after
all. will serve a good purpose. az
they will enable the road builders to
complete the auto truck line from
Leland direct TO the mine. When
that time comes II will allow this
large corporation to reduce the cost
OF freighting from the smelter to the
railroad fully one-half, perhaps
more. The business of hauling
freight over this road to all the
mines in the. district will be a mo-
nopoly to be enjoyed by the Almeda
company alone, as II can cut out ali
competition. Not alone will II be .
good thing fer this company, but
viii be highU advantageous to all
the other mines In the district The
one thing that has stood IN the way
of the success of mining In general
around Galice has been tAe high cost
OF transl oriation.
The amount OF activity going on at
the mine aud smelter is convincing
evidence OF tho prosperity which
abounds there, II has been long
pull, a strong pull and a pull all to-
gethor proposition for more than ten
years with this company, but from
the very first there has been abund-
ant faith That the ultimate result
would be a grand,sbccess. II ia true
not all the difficulties have as yet
been overcome, but the goal Of pros
perlty Is in sight; and when that Ia
reached the Almeda mine will be-
come one of the great producers OF
wealth on the Pacific coast.

WILL AID SETTLERS
In GETTING PATENTS

NotSoSHau WINS y, idWley au-
dressed group of his constituents
Monday in the Grants Pass CONNER
cial Club assembly rooms and made
the leading feature of his talk the
proposed reform in the administra-
tion Of the public land office.
Mr.. Hawley condemned the pres
ent practice of the land office in
holding up for 8, Z or IL years pat
ents sought by bona fide settlers and
proposed a change by the creation Of
a law to take the patent matters
away from the land office and allow
the settler to go before court
judge and jury, the case to be heard
and patent granted, If one had been
earned.
The west is hurt by such prac-
tices as have mentioned" said the
congressman, and he continued:
81 went through several miles of
tunnels of the Blue Ledge mine on
which the owners have spent, so /
was told, something more than
100000. The company now wants
to build smelter on the ground In
which to treat the enormous tonnage
of ore blocked out, but can't get a
patent, and until a patent is secured
will not build smelter, a plant
which would afford a payroll for
several hundred men. II is the
same with the settler In the west;
his patent is held up for no good
reason. IL we are to advance we
must get men and families on our
land and the families In the east are
hesitating as thousands of patents
are being held up in Oregon. II
you have any such cases here let
me know OF them and / will look
into them and get action by the land
office.
"0ne miserable condition is that
the land office sends city bred men
of the east as inspector What do
these men know of the trials and
struggles OF, settler and his family
thirty miles from a town. These
gentlemen go back and report: II
don't believe that settler is comply
ing with the law, and the settler
had been complying with the law
all the time.
IL will not uphold the settler who
seeks to evade or break the law, but
] am speaking OF the bona fide set
tiers Of our state.
"Then the confidential reports,
which is practice of the land Of
flee. work a hardship because the
settler never sees them and can't
answer them.
Nov, the congressman OF the
public lands states have thought out
a remedy for these evils and hope
TO have II created into law, as our
public land states will be retarded
In settlement most seriously II some
thing is not done to give more con-
fldence to eastern people who wish
to come among us and make homes
The remedy that we would apply Is
that when settler is due a patent
the case should be taken into court
before competent Judge and jury
and the case decided upon It's mer-
It's"
Mr.. Hawley touched upon other
subjects, but too late for publlca-
tior.

GOV. WEST REFUSES
TO CALL EXTRA SESSION

Replying to County Judge Ste
phen Jewell, in which the Josephine
official proposed to Governor Oswald
West that he call special session
of the legislature to create an enabl-
ing act for the existing bonding law
for good roads, Mr.. Wes; writes to
say that he will not call the legisla-
ture together and says in effect, that
it would not be a popular move. Gov
ernor Vests letter to Judge Jewell
reads as follows:
Hon. Stephen Jewell, Judge, jose
phine county, Grants Pass, Oregon
MY Dear Judge: l acknowledge
yours of October 10. | have given
the special session question a good
deal of careful consideration, and
have definitely decided, because of
the very evident disfavor with which
the people eye a probable session,
not to call one.
81 am sorry that the condition set
out by you confronts your county,
and trust that adequate legislation
will be enacted either through the
initiative at the next election or by
the next legislature, which will en-
able us to construct good roads in a
sane and conservative manner.
with kindest personal regards,
am,
Every sincerely,
Oswald West"
This means, that unless the SUI
preme court of the state acts on the
case favorably, that is, declares the
law complete as it now stands, Jose
phine and other counties which hope
to issue bonds for roads must wait
practically two years; then a year
more before bonds are sold and road
work well under way, or a total of
three years before they can get sat
isfactory action.
Judge Neil of the county ocnrt of
Jackson county has stated, so he is
quoted by Medford paper, that his
court will initiate move to get the
bonding law before the supreme
court and hopes for an opinion with
in 60 days. If the high tribunal pro-
nounces the law sound, then bond
buyers will no doubt purchase and
all counties with good roads plans
can move ahead Without a favor
able decision by the supreme court,
the outlook is dlscouraging al least
for two years.

AS a semi-public affair it far sur
passed anything OF like nature here

Congressman w. c. Hawley made an
ideal toast master and his quips and
sallies at the expense of this or that
speaker kept the banquetters in rare
good humor Music by the Com
mercial Club orchestra, which is
composed OF some of the leading
business men of the city, was appre-
ciated in the extreme.
Mr.. Hawley and the various
speakers eulogized the Metschan
brothers for their enterprise in Gre
ating the new hotel and congratu-
