DEVELOPMENT IN MINING.

DEVELOPMENT IN MINING.
Il have always said, and / am now
stronger than ever in the belief. that
Grants Pass will some day be the
center OF the greatest mining devel-
opment in the United States" said
Thos. s. Burley. receiver for the AL
media Mining company, Wednesday,
Mr.. Burley had Just returned from
Medford. where he had been on busi-
ness before Judge Calkins relating
to the closing up OF the receivership.
The Almeda has recently been re-
organized by the eastern stockhold-
ers. and ample funds are being put
Into It to assure Its operation upon
IN extensive scale. All the claims
against it are being liQuidated. and
I the receivership is being closed up,
final hearing to be had on March is.
Nat P. Ellis. representing the east
ern stockholders. recently arrived
from Wayerly. Iowa, and has since
been active in relieving the property
Of Its burden OF litigation. Mr.. Bur
ley announces that Mr.. Ellis is soon
to come to Grants Pass. when the
Almeda, freed from its financial and
legal embarrassments. will be oper-
ated upon scale that its value will
justify.
Mr.. Burley is especially optimistic,
not only for the future Of the Al
media, but also for the entire Grants
Pass district, as is evidenced by his
prophecy that 1t was destined to lead
all the United States In mining in
the near future. While Mr.. Buriey
Is retiring from the receiyership Of
the Almeda, he is not surrendering
his interests in Josephine county min
ing activities.
In view of the renewed interest in
mining, and especially Of the in
creased amounts of copper ore to be
taken from the ground here the pre-
sent season, the Courier has arranged
to receive daily quotations upon cop
per in the markets. These quotations
are received by wire Just after noon
each day, and will be found in the
market report published in the even
ing edition Of the paper. The price
OF this metal is mounting upward
most rapidly. being now quoted at
2Sh cents per pound, more than
double the price Of couple years
ago. The average price of copper
during all Of 1915 was 17.S cents a
pound, according to a report Of the
United States geological survey.
