' DYNAMITE SUSPECT DECLINES TO TALK HYDRAULIC MINES ARE THE MOST PRODUCTIVE Baker Leads in Output, But Josephine County Has the Best Placer Mines. Ailvnncc shoots or tlic 11)11 geo lopojil report issued by the govern HiPiit on the wining industry hns the f fallowing to say of Oregen: Thero han recently boon n decline in metallic output of Oregon, nnd so fur ns present datn show, this decline wns more marked in 1011 than in 1010, according to Charles G. Gale of Jho United btntcs geological survey. The total number of active mines shows little change, but soino of the larger ones have become less produc tive. Several gold dredges nre in op eration, but the most productive was not worked for several mouths in 1011. The dydraulio mines arc the most productive placers, and their number is greatest. The deep mines of the state arc yielding larger quan tities of milling ore than formerly. but the grade of ore worked has de clined nearly one-half. This accounts for tho falling off in total gold pro duction. Some siliceous ore i 'shipped to the smeltors, but most of it is milled, and comparatively little copper ore is now boing smelted. The output of silver in the state is small. Baker comity is still the largest pro ducer of gold. It includes tho dis tricts of Baker, Cornucopia, Cracker i reek and Mormon Basin, and be twecn 50 nnd 00 producing mines, about half of which are placers, though much of the larscr proportion of the gold is obtained from deep mines. In gold output from placer mining Josephine counly leads. There nro 12 counties in the state now pro ducing gold. In southwestern Oregon tho placer mines are producing lurgcr quantities than the deep mines; in northeastern Oregon the lode mines nre much the most productive. According to preliminary figures prepared by tho director of the mint. Oregon produced, in 1011, $590,235 in gold and 09,116 fine ounces of sil ver, valued at .$38,014, ngainst $GS1, 100 in gold and 43,800 ounces of sil ver, valued at $23,G00, in 1910. i AEROPLANE TO ILOVE AND KISSES LOCATE OUTLAWS Three Abators Circling over Hills Near San Fernando In an Ef fort to Locate Fugitives From Justice.
