HUNDREDS VIEW ORE FROM THIS LOCALITY Siskiyou County Sends Over $10,000 Worth of Ore for Show Purposes. Mich unlets and selected samples of unlil oro are dividing intercut with the IchH licli and umre proiiiiMtn iptartir. cmiiihih nl (lie minini: con ttrv dixplay at the Nnlatoriiim. While milling men are carefully hcrutiui.intr the hard rock that yields perhaps .fW a ton, city people are exclaimiiiK over S Jerry's beaiilitul collection of nuggets nml over the 10,1100 display of nugget from Sis kiyou futility. (lold Hill has done more than any other place in .lnckon county to pat this section toward the front mid the display from that place i a strictly millers' one. The ItnttloMiakc, Lucky Unit, Colonel Kay, Hunker Hill, lira den. ltuzaid, Hlackwell, Hill Nye. Millionaire, I'liiimplniu Dredge and others are represented with compre hensive displays, the ores riinnnig from 1J to V2U00. The display of the Afterthought mine at Thompson ureek attracted much interest fiom jniuiug men, as the gold thcn runs in hard rock and in the sample shows as high as .fHOO. These, of course, are selected. Oilier exhibits are those of the I'ahiier Creek section, showing ifl'J a ton for large net cage. This section has its own cinnabar mid gets mer cury for ninalgamation work at little expense. The Jewel t mine near Mer lin is well ivjireseiited. Josephine county has a number .of small ex hibits, but did not send any large displays. The enterprise near Wood vide and Shamrock at Meadows have represented that district in a strong manner. One of the eye-openers for richness is the Yellow King ore which runs $101)1) in almost pure gold and which shows no copper or silver. Ihe Jewott, Matrau mid Moduli nan ami Alton initios have large dis plays of rich gold ftiart. well dis played in the center of tho hall. Tho copper displays include ore from the famous Hlue Ledge district, from Hlaek Hntte, Mountain View, Waldo, Deer Creek and Lelaud. To show variety of mineral wealth of tho section the exhibits of granite, oil rock, coal, iron, clay, cinnabar and lime rock add tnmiieli tn the value of the general ensemble. The large showcase of gold nuggets and exceedingly rich samples of ore, belonging to the Sikiyott exhibit were moved from the Natutoritim to the Nash hotel this morning. However, Siskiyou is well reptvsented nt the "N'al" by displays from the Dine Ledge, Sullivan mid lU'demptiou groups. To the person who is in funned about mining there is much of in terest at this exhibit and much may he learned by those who luivu only heard mining talked. A large. crowd has been present at (ho "Nat" on both days. Grants Pass last night brought down n $20,000 exhibit of nuggets and ore, but at noon today but little of it was on view at tho congress, the greater part being kept in the vaults of the Medford National hank. This display is tho most valuable of tho congress, according to those who have looked it over. C0LLE6ES TO VIE IN AERIAL MEET I LONDON, Feb. 11.
