The Jewett mine, located four miles
southeast Of Grants Pass, has been
sold to w. R. Oxley. L. D. Barber,

the property from the estate Of Ben

News of the sale of this property
to able and experienced mining mer
brings much satisfaction to the peo.
pie Of Grants Pass as the mine is al
the very door Of the city and the
working force to be put on the prop
erty will add largely to the revenue

The Courier has been informed
that modern up-to-the-min
ute treatment plant to take care o
the rebellious ores Of the mine will
be erected near the river bank an,
about three miles from tn city. Thi
plant will also add considerably t,
the monthly payroll.
The mine was operated Is year
ago and has been 1850 and 140
feet of workings. A mill and concen
traitor have been standing idle o.
the property and now will probaol

The property was closed down a nun
ber of years ago as result Of cor
tention on the part of the severe
owners, the main trouble being tina
they did not get sufficient returns I
dollars and cents on shipments c
ore to various smelteys, In othe
words, they did not receive anywher
near the values that their private al
SAYS returned. Suspicion was arou'

was willing to pay $4,000 for the
property. Mr.. Healey, however, re-

GRANTS PASS PEOPLE
VISIT GALICE MINES

Quite a number Of Grants Pass
people visited the Galiee mining dis
trict last week and they report usual
activity Of the mines In that section.
There are constant arrivals from var
ious parts Of the country Of all
classes Of men interested In the min
ing industry. Mining men are look
ing over the country, aud prospec-
tors in large numbers are going to
the hills, which have scarcely been
scratched up to the present time.
The Almeda mine and the smelter
are attracting no little attention from
all classes, as they are producing
wealth every day in the week. The
smelter Is turning out q large amount
of rich matte daily, and 1t Is plain
to be seen that 1t is time the 100-ton
smelter is replaced by a much larg-
er one. This will be a necessity and,
while the company has not given out
its Intentions, 1t Is fact that this
must result in the not distant fu-
ture.
The big shaft Is still going down
ward with three shifts. From time
to time cross-cuts are made into the
ore body, which is growing nearer
and nearer as depth is reached, Al
the lowest point the ore shows more
value than above, both In copper and
gold. This shaft is to prove not onl,
the values to be found below, but ths
extent of the ore body, and 1t Is prov
ing conclusively that the Almeda con
tains an immense tonnage OF ore
which will yield satisfactorily In boti
copper and gold.

threw her to the side of the 0oaL. The
weight was too much for the frail
craft and it capsized. / Crap
pied with the girl and finally got her
on top of the floating capsxcd boat,
She was alright, and laughed at our
predicament. My brother swain to
the shore, only about 30 feet, and
pulled off his shoes and then swan
back to the boat. When he
had reached within three or fol-
feet of US, the boat whirled over
again, and the girl anu my 'elf wer!
thrown into the water. We did what
we could to save Miss Maybelle but
