The porter carries 1t on his shoulder
fastened with leather straps. He never
detaches himself from his jar either to
ill 1t or to transfer its contents to
that Of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain 30
that the jar comes under one of the
jets Of water and listens to the sound
OF the water In the Jar, and his ear is
30 well trained that he always walks
away at the exact moment when II is
filled to the brim.
Arriving at the house of a customer,
he goes to the household jar, makes a

CAPITAL SEEKING MINING IN
vESTMENT

The air is filled with rumors Of
pending mining deals that will as
tonish southern Oregon when they
are consummated. Representatives
of the leading mining interests Of
the country have been in this dis
trict during the past several months.
and negotiations are under way for
the transfer OF many OF our best
known properties. These changes
win mean the bringing OF unlimited
capital to the development and op-
GRAFTON OF the mines. During the
week It was reported in the Portland
press that the Blue Ledge mine had
been sold to Salt Lake parties for
$4,000 through the agency Of DR..
Reddy Of this city. This sale has
not yet been closed. but an option
is out on the property, and as this
expires April 1st, word is anticipated
any day Of the closing OF the deal
II is also known that options are
held on two Of the biggest placer
properties in Josephine county. Min
ing experts are making detailed sur
veys and reports indicate that they
are more than pleased with the
.showings made.
The most significant developments
are those of the copper and chrome
mines. The latter is an entirely
new branch of the mining industry,
last year seeing the first ton OF
chrome iron ore shipped from this
district. This season every ton that
1t is possible to produce will find
ready market, buyers having been
searching the district all winter. OF
the copper mines. those most con-
versant with the situation state that
the number OF men given employ
ment in the production Of the red
metal will number thousands in this
territory before the year is gone. 1t

position in the commerce Of Jose
phine county, yet It's possibilities
are hardly touched.
