A COUNTRY OF MINERAL
WEALTH
lature.

Stories of rich finds of gold in
southern Oregon have long since
ceased to excite wonder or to create
stampedes. For sixty years these
discoveries have occurred with sim
gular regularity. and 1t has come to
be an accepted fact that the hills
are filled with unfound wealth. In
the earlier days the attention of the
prospector was given almost entirely
to the search for the rich placers IN
the creeks and the rivers, and these
we're hastily worked over, the cream
taken, and the miner hurried on to
other "diggings." Some of this
ground has been worked over three
and four times, while other ground
Is still untouched
All miners know that where there
has been such an amount of placer
gold there is sure to be quartz leads
that will return rich values, but the
development of these quartz claims
has been retarded by the difficulty
of transportation. Some few mills
have been carted in, and other mine
owners have built arastras, and with
these crude methods have extracted
much gold. Some copper mines have
also been developed in a way despite
the handicap of no transportation
facilities, the richness of the ore
making it possible to employ expen-
slve methods of handling. With the
coming of railroad the quartz mines
and the great deposits of copper will
become among the chiefest of south
ern Oregon's resources, and thous-
ands of men will be given employ
ment in making this wealth avail
able. Meantime southern Oregon is
almost virgin ground for the pros
pector, and while II Is one of the old
est mining districts in the west, It is
developing new things
and springing new surprises.

THE COW FOR PROFIT

There are only four breeds of
special dairy cows that are really
worth considering by dairymen of
this state" says DR.. James Witty
combe, director of the College Expert
ment station. "These four are the
Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein and the
Ayrshire. Each of these breeds pos
sesses superior adaptability to GER
tain conditions.
"on the small farm or on high
priced land where the production OF
butter fat is the principal object the
Jersey is the best. II the production
OF high class milk for city trade is
desired, no breed surpasses the
Guernsey. Guernsey milk Is highly
colored and excellently favored. In
sections where there is an abun-
dance Of cheap feed, and milk is to
be produced for condensing or cheese
making, no other breed equals that
veritable milk machine, the Holsteln

The publication Of the statements

Chief among those who occupied

was julius Kruttschnitt, general
manager. director of maintenance

interests in the United States, who
had come all the way here from

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
THURSDAYS VICTORY.

The vote for the railroad bonds al
the special election last week is an
even greater victory than that Of last
December. True, the majority has
been reduced by fraction, but 1t IL
remarkable that after the differences
and the disappointment OF the year
the personal factors that have In,
tected into the campaign. SO per
cent. Of the people should vote one
way. II proves that the progress and
prosperity OF the community do count
for more than mere individual DIFF
ferences, and that the spirit OF the
community is commendable spirit.
II shows that a sentiment in this me-
tropolis OF the Rogue is for big
things, and that solid front will be
presented against a common enemy.
This solidifying Of interests, this evil
dence given the world that Grants
Pass knows its own mind and stays
with Il, is worth all that the railroad
to Wilderville will cost. It puts this
city on the map OF the world. and
every citizen feels a greater pride in
himself and his community.
The direct result OF the vote will
be the completion OF the road to the
Applegate valley, and the giving OF
the promoters OF the coast road
something definite upon which
to operate. SO long as there was an
element Of uncertainty regarding the
action OF the city OF Grants Pass In
lending assistance to the project, Just
10 long was there uncertainty In the
attitude OF the financial interests that
must be brought into the proposition.
The few busy-bodles who were so
active In opposing the bonds made as
much noise as the Kansas coyote that

about as effective when the light of
the ballot was shed upon them. The
outsider did not know II was all
