DEVELOPING THE MINES.

If the reported strike Of gold that
comes from the Holland district
should prove what has been repre-
sented, 1t will mean that the mining
of southern Oregon will take on the
greatest boom of recent years. There
is no doubt about the millions of the
yellow metal that have been taken
from our streams and from the
gravel bars, and the prediction has
long been made that one day quartz
strike that would set the mining
world afire would be made. The
yellow nuggets that came for the
asking almost from the placer fields
claimed attention for nearly sixty
years, the ease with which the plac-
ers were worked, and the relative
labor that accompanies quartz min
ing caused the greater effort to be
expended In the hunt for nuggets.
Some OF the richer streams have
been worked over three and four
times, each time with little more
care as the virgin ground became
more circumscribed, and the quartz
leads we're largely neglected. Thous-
ands of dollars are still yielded each
month from the placers, but 1t ia
upon the baser ores of the quartz
veins that the gold Of the future will
come, and the finding of vein with
its countless thousands of tons OF
ore in sight is of greater moment
than the opening up of a new placer
field.
The presence OF mountains OF
copper ore Is already we'll establish
ed and II investigation now verife:
the extent OF the Holland gold find
the Grants Pass district will become
at once the live mining district ot
the west.

HELP WITH THE BOOST.

The request Of the men who are
financing the new railroad TO the
coast for financial assistance from
this county is mild and modest in
deed, and is one that should be cas-
lily met under the imposed conditions,
One hundred thousand dollars in
cash could not be raised by the peo-
pie OF this community, but the pledg-
ing Of that amount to be paid three
years from date, or after the rail-
road shall have been fully completed
and in operation to the coast, will be
a very different matter. During the
period OF construction OF this road
millions Of dollars OF capital will be
Invested in materials and labor from
which there will be no return to the
builders till the road is in operation
II ia Just that the community which
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1913-07-25

is to benefit as greatly as the county
Of Josephine will benefit by the
building OF this road, should show
its good faith in the enterprise by
pledging to these people some small
part of the increase of values that
will accrue TO their property with
the building of the road. There is
not a property owner in the COM
munity but can we'll AFFORD TO as
sist in the raising of the amount
asked. The life of the district
hinges upon better railroad facilities
and $1,000 is a small price to pay
for the relief that rail connection
with the coast will give. When the
committees from the business inter
ests Of the city ask for signatures on
these notes due latter the road is
built" there should be no hesitancy
in making the pledge. Would you
refuse the proffered tonic II your
physical being was demanding It?
Give the business life the tonic Of
big boost now when II is needed.

CLAIMS WE'RE JUSTIFIED.

There can be no better endorse
ment OF the truth of the claims made
regarding the richness OF the re-
sources OF the country between
Grants Pass and the coast than the
fact that men of affairs, such as
Franklin Helm and his associates,
hould find 1t all and more than had
been represented. These men have
made exhaustive research and inves-
tigation into the mines and the for
ests and Of the agricultural and
horticultural possibilities Of the re-
gion, and the announcement that the
railroad is to be built follows as a
natural sequence. The Southern Pa
cific has been content to let this
wealth lie stored in the great vaults
of nature, thinking it was secure and
available for its use when it saw fit
TO appropriate it. 1t would have
rested thus for years to come had
not the city of Grants Pass, as a
measure OF self-preservation, forced
the issue, and refused to rely upon
insincere promises longer
Our people are open to congratu-
lation that the men interested in this
project are OF the stamp of doers
and builders. They are one and all
in their own undertakings,
capable and efficient, and the future
of the coast road could not rest in
better hands.

part OF the county, and to the coast,
and finding promises very poor sub
stance, have undertaken debt Of
5000, 10000 to start the road, and
have expended over 100000 in
the acquisition Of a right-of-way.
Prior to the beginning, they sounded
the Southern Pacific and were as
sured that the Southern Pacific did
not intend to build. But now as the
people of Josephine county are evil
IDENTIFY to see their plans carried out,
the Espee is showing its teeth. 1t
has set its understrappers, tools and
spies that it finds in each locality to
serve its purpose, sowing seeds of
dissension and spreading false re-
ports.
The Southern Pacific wants to
keep the people of southern Oregon
from a railway to the sea. It want
ed in this instance, to run stub line
to Kerby and use it as a stopper, and
keep the people of southern Oregon
paying exorbitant rates. Hence the
policy Of garroting communities who
try to help themselves, and keeping
intact the Hartman preserves.
The Southern Pacific can unload
rails and send contractors to start a
rival road out of Grants Pass, and
harass and embarrass that commun-
ity and the men who are trying to
help it, but the results might be ex-
ceedingly dangerous. The eyes of
all the people of the coast are upon
Grants Pass, because IL its plan sue
ceeds, it will enable other commun-
tiles to help themselves to railroad
facilities. For that very reason, the
Southern Pacific would like to crush
the initial endeavor. Nothing would
suit the Espee better than to crush
1t in a manner that would entail such
financial loss that it would prevent
any other community from making a
similar effort. These are Wall
Street ethics.
The people saw the Southern Pa
cific spend ten millions trying to de-
stroy Jim Hills efforts to unlock
Eastern Oregon by the road up the
Deschutes. They know that after in
viting Macarthur, Perks & Company
to build from Eugene to Coos Bay,
the Southern Pacific started to par
allel the line, and that after start
ing road from Drain it stopped it,
after spending millions, on the plea
that 1t would not pay. The people
know now, the chief aim and purpose
of the railroad, is to maintain Ore
gon as its reservation, and prevent
any railroad building to the coast,
unless by it, and with a line so long
that freight rates would never be af-
fected, like the Eugene to Coos Bay,
line. ~
Lines leading to the coast are nee
essary for development of the state.
An independent line to the Pacific is
the one great need OF the valley, but
the Wall Street directory that con-
trolls the Southern Pacific, not only
will never build 1t, but will do its
utmost to prevent any one else's
building 1t, lest it be compelled to
reduce rates to the basis Of rates in
the east.
The projectors OF the Grants Pass
Crescent City railroad, and the peo-
pie OF Grants Pass must expect a
continuation OF the "dog-in-the-
manger" policy that gives the Espee
a monopoly in It's territory and be
prepared to successfully resist not
only its Establishments but its power
ful financial opposition.
