GALICE MEN FIND
RICH FREE GOLD LEDGE

Failing to get jobs, three miners
at Galice, John Carlson, George Col
vim and Oscar Shattuck, went to dig
ging on their own account and un-
covered a lead of free gold quartz
which has netted them about 5000 in
days. They sent the bullion in to
Grants Pass today by County Com
missioner c. l.. Barlow, and the met
al Is at the First National bank. The
lucky trio are still taking out the rich
quartz, and say they believe they are
at least good for 10000.
The find was made on the surface
Of the old Victor mine about 800 feet
from the cabin on the property, and
has been walked over by hundreds of
men during the years that mining has
been underway in that region. The
property is owned by John and Ed
ward Norberg of Gallce.
The discoverers have uncovered
seam of heavily oxidized quartz and
gold shows profusely in the dark OK
ides. The seam Is about inches
wide, between what seems to be de-
fined walls; yet that there may be
considerable mill rock In the ledge
is the belief of some who have seen
the work. This feature has not been
examined into so far, as the three
lucky prospectors are bending all en-
ergy in taking out the picture rock,
mortaring, amalgamatlng, and reduc-
ing it into crude bullion A Mason
fruit jar OF the stuff was brought in
today by Mr.. Barlow, who states that
the find has stimulated the camp, and
many other men are getting active.
The Victor mine produced consld
cradle gold while working, the
amount taken out being estimated by
men familiar with the various prop
critics at Gallce, at $4,000 Sanders
brothers were former owners.

TO GROW IS ACRES OF
MELONS ON TWO FARMS

There may be more, but two farms
near Grants Pass will grow melons
extensively this season. Tho Sunset
Country Club Orchard company, the
syndicate OF Kansas City men who
recently purchased 4S1 acres of the
Rogue River Orchard company's
tract, will plant eight acres of can
teloupes, and Clark Morey will grow
10 acres, about equally divided be-
tween watermelons and canteloupes.
The Sunset company's tract is be-
ing managed by C. H. Washburn of
Kansas City, who is a member of the
syndicate, Mr.. Washburn states that
the most modern methods will be
adopted in growing the melons on his
company's land, and plans call for
scientific work. He will ship to the
northern markets, including Seattle.
Clark Morey will grow his 10 acres
of melons on tract of river bottom
land three miles below the city and
he has adopted a method which will
give him melons for an early market.
Mr.. Morey grew his vines in his hot
house, and will transplant them next
week. They will be irrigated. He will
use number of men in the work of
transplanting and will take up each
plant with much of its native dirt set
around it. He does this by using a
trowel, lifting the plant out, and put
ting it into new hole without dis
turbing the roots.
In other days many acres of mel
ons were grown in this region, and
the shipments were heavy Careless
methods, it is said, caused decay of
the industry in that the vines became
infected with disease. No such
trouble is anticipated now, as mod
ern knowledge and skill can defeat
the fungi.
Manager Washburn of the Sunset
company, states that he would like
to see many other acres grown and
cooperation among the growers so
that full carloads could be sent out,
with a resultant full carload rate in
stead of small shipments and high
rate

SUB-COMMITTEE OF BROTHER
HOODS To so REPORT.
FOR NON.EQUIPMENT PLAN
Schools May Join With Association
in Employing Physical
Director.

The subcommittee of the various
church brotherhood clubs of Grants
Pass will, at a meeting of the main
organization next Tuesday night, rec
ommend the formation here of a
branch of the national Y. NJ. G. A.
The subcommittee will recommend
the formation of Y. NJ. C. A. on
what is known as the non-equipment
plan, that is minus permanent
building or permanent quarters, and
without paraphernalia for gymna-
SUM and other like features.
1t is expected that the report OF
the subcommittee will be adopted
unanimously, and immediate steps
taken to make the organization a
fact.
There is a chance, however, that
something even better than this Will
result, that is that a physical direc-
tor be employed. This depends on
the Grants Pass school board, which
listened to a proposition last night
to Jointly bear the expense of physi-
cal director, who will divide his time
between the students of the public
schools and the Y NJ. C. "A.
The subcommittee of the brother
hoods is composed of Judge H. H.
Basler, Dr. E. c.. Macy, Burns Gill
lette, R. K Hackett, Arthur Conklin
and G. H. Woodward, chairman. This
committee met with the school board
last night and made the proposition
regarding a physical director. The
board took the matter under advise
ment.
Judge Basler speaking OF the mat
ter. said; I'VE are hoping that the
school board will adopt our proposal
that physical director be employed
jointly by our association and the
schools. However, we shall recon-
mend to the organization of brother
hood clubs next Tuesday night that
a Y. NJ. c, A. on the non-equipment
plan be formed here And we be-
lieve that Y. NJ. c. A. for Grants
I. Pass will soon be established.
"The non-equipment plan is the
method usually adopted for towns of
this size, continued Judge Basler,
and will no doubt be a success here,
as there is a strong sentiment in fa-
vor of Y. NJ. c. A.. BY this plan
permanent building is not needed,
but the work can be cared for well
without it. We will depend on pop
ular subscriptions for finances, and
there is no danger of falling down
on this score, as the association is
really a demand by the young and
many of the older folk of the city.
"a secretary will be employed, and
around him all will center. We ex-
pect gratifying success.
The brotherhood clubs will be
guests next Tuesday night of the
Newman NJ. E. Mems club, where the
non-equipment plan will be present.

ADJUSTMENTS
al Trovatore,p Thursday, Oct. 31st

I'll Trovatore," Thursday, Oct. 31st.
A selection of greatest popularity
among music lovers in general, Verdis
beautiful II Trovatore" one of the
strongest favorites of all the popular
classics" has been selected for the
performance of the Aborn English
Grand Opera Company at the Opera
House on Thursday evening, Oct S1st.
The last word has been said by the
foremost critics. of the world in regard
to the great musical beauties OF this
work, and the only criticism against it
has been that there is too much
beautiful music of the simple but lofty
style that can be enjoyed by the per-
son with an average musical ear, and
which does not require of the listener
an extensive musical education. Other
grand operas written in the approved
scientific style of latter years, attract
small audiences of advanced musi-
clans. while such dearly loved favor
ties of long standing as II Trovatore'
continue to draw the crowds of music
lovers who go to enjoy and not study
the technicalities Of the work.
Messrs Aborn have found this one of
the most popular selections of all the
classics and have therefore made an
elaborate production of this famous
opera. which they present oftener
than any other.
Prices $500, $3.50, s100, 75c. and soc.
Seat sale opens Tuesday morning.
