The Hio.t fnmnns pocket so fnr ill eou'red is the one from which the toun of Gold Hill tskus in mum', winch was discovered in 1857, on top of the mountain about two miles east from the town of Gold Hill. In this in-stance, the story poos the ,i)l(l cropped out in sernpgy -J '" mnsxiw form Hint was so full of gold Hint it required no slight effort with a large hammer, heathis? alternate was, to dinlode it from the ninsshe cropping. 1 have -ecu some Mich chunks, originally from thw place, and thev eettniuly hoar out the state ment, the rock portion of the .pvei meiis heinj a "somewhat erystallixed quart, which, howeuir, doe- not show any honeycombed feature-., such a-. - often noted where sultldes hae leached out of the nick, leaving sprays of gold in the eaity. Legend states that the gdd in this pocket went dywn only 1" feet. I am fairly familiar with the spot and im mediate ieinity, and can state that the find was in a fi-iire ein, strike about south 'JO degree- east, dip about 80 degree- from the horizontal to the east, with a gash ein cutting the fissure, nearly due oast and wet; din, ertical. The. fissure vein will nerni:e a slroiiir five feet between walls with olio to two feet of gouge on foot wall, which contains some cnlcito and quartz mixed with n little sulphide or iron, which, in spots, con tnuins free gold. A deposit of mien less granite, nbout five feet wide by IMissihly 200 feet long, crops in the foot wall side of the fissure. The country rock is pyroxenyte. It is snid tlmt this pocket produced nt lenst $700,000, with a number of smaller finds in this immediate vicin ity, none over 300 feet from the large deposit. Iloarlng Gimlet Pocket. The Roaring Gimlet pocket, discov ered in 1893, is situated at the mouth of China Gulch, nbout two and one half miles due south of the Gold Hill pocket. The Gimlet pocket gold was apparently liberated from oxidized sulphides, with very little quartz; the surface showed a porphrydyke two feet thick on the foot wall, and n slate hanging wall; soft gauge from one-fourth of an inch to six inches between slate and porphyry', with the gold in the Range; strike of vein, east and west; dip, 80 degrees to the north. This contaained a number of pockets, three- between the surface and a depth of 40 feet, where the gauge continued down between solid dioritic walls, with a sprinkling of iron sulphides inos in small kidneys of caleite and quartz, looking very much like the veing filling in the Gold Hill vein. Several small pockets were cxtrncied just cast of the large Gim let pocket, nil within 300 feet of the first. .Combined, they are said to have equaled $10,000. Illiotcn rocket. The Ithoten pocket was in throe feel of micnloss granite, with a nine inch band of quartz on each side, with slate wall rocks in the vein crop ping of this pocket. Strike, north and south; dip, (JO degrees to the oast from the horizontal. The gold was found in the foot wall quartz. I had the pleasure of seeing several speei mens that showed the free gold in the dear quartz, without sulphides. A repetition of pockets were found be tween the surface nnd a depth of 40 feet. This pocket had been credited with amounts from $10,000 to $00, 000. Prior to this discovery, a num ber of pockets were found in this locality, none over 500 feet from the largo one. It will ho seen ftom these descrip tions that the granitic or feldsputhic rock is fully in evidence with the gold deposit; this the writer has noticed at tlio old workings of pocket finds. Faulting of fissure veins usually show extra lurgo gold values in this region. Doesn't Follow Lend-;. Tlio reasons why pookets nro not found at n depth of 100 feet or more nro Hint tlio nverago prospector or discoverer of a pocket gets tlio money so easily nnd quickly that he devotes littlo or no thought or labor to new conquests, until the most of his wenlth is gone. To go back into the old holo is not very encouraging, as ho nppurontlv took out everything worth having; thon tho hole is usually too deep to cast the cm Hi out with a shovel; it is also getting haidor and would entail tho use of drills, powder and at least a windlosa with which to raiso tho dirt, so that docs not size up right. 'When ho does do is to pan tho dirt in different places, trying to catch whut is rnlled "u trace," that ', free gold, tho sourco of which U called tlio pocket, Sometimes the pocket is nil out in " p , mm liffMWWTlrv,n'ii i ' ' law & 41 Mmm H ,mKmUKmmMml SALES MADE OF GAROENJRACTS i J.

Occasionally outsider come on the scene and buy tho prospect uftor tho first pookot or bunch has been ex tracted, and get their purchnxo money hack in short order, when they in turn play for u buyer, but at this point do clopment usually ends; buyers, liko tho prospector, got tho idea of look ing for now surface discoveries rath er than installing a teal prospectmg equipmont of hoist, pump and the necossary tools to go down n fow hun dred feet and do soino diittiug. Tho writer knows of several places woithy of such exploitation.

This tract Joins the Midway or chard tract and is exceptionally well adapted for trull culture. There are now 15 acres of the land Mt to t-j ear-old pear and apple trees, and Mr. James expects to set more of, the tract to fruit next winter. Funny how thlnas will happen, bijt. somehow they just happen. Mr. I James Just happened to stop oft in" Medford when the mining congress' was in session last week and it justj happened that Mr. James is some thing of a mining man himself ; and it happened again that he got inter-! osted in tho mineral exhibits and liko-' wlso intorostod in the fruit produc ing as woll as mineral producing qualities of this part of Oregon, and to all these happenings may be di rectly attributed tho fact that Mr. James bought a fruit orchard In tho Koguo river valloy.
