OREGON'S SHARE of bonuses,
royalties and rentals from mineral
leasing on federal lands within the
boundaries of the state amounted
to only $7,513.15 for the July 1
to Dec. .31 period and $14,304.21
for the year, according to figures
released by tho Department of the
Interior. ,
By contrast Wyoming received
the most of any one state for the
final six montlis, a staggering w,
657,243. New Mexico was second
S3i.-i7.376. Colorado third
with $1,637,476, Alaska fourth with
$1,425,535, and California fifth with
$1,370,183. Aiassa a uni i
year amounted to $5,755,370.
This points up the comparitive
inactivity in mining in Oregon. But
Washington was even lower, re
ceiving only $469 in payment for
the entire year. ... ,
R F. CARR, Lookingglass resi
dent and president of the Bolivar
Copper Co. mine development out
from Powers, would like to change
that situation (See story else
where), lie sees a great future for
mining in southwestern Oregon
which only needs development.

Miss Price, the wife of singer

was in Roseburg Tuesday night,
singing in tho First Baptist

She and her pianist accompanist,
David Garvcy, were interview

viously tired from a strenuous, al
most continuous scries of engage

for vacations or personal life.

she has just five days to get ready
for six months of singing engage

"Think of it," she said. "Just
live days to get ready for a six

after sho had been reminded, "a

"There's no way to beat the

Sho shuddered to think what it
would mean to cross tho Interna

Sho and her accompanist Gar

The California market, so vital
to Oregon green mills, remained
the quiet sine, crow s saia,
with an oversupply situation at
the consuming end largely re
sponsible for the slowdown in buy

items was unchanged. The cargo
market showed weaker tendencies.
while export trading remained

The old "Poplars" Cafe building

Copper Mining Possibilities
Seen For Douglas Co. Areas
Several deposits of copper are
known to exist in the North Ump
qua and South Umpqua drainage
areas, R. F. Carr of Lookingglass
told the Roseburg Rotary Club
Thursday noon.
These are in addition to known
deposits in the Kerby area, the
Illinois River, Pistol River, Reu
ben Mountain and Bolivar Moun
tain areas in southwestern Oregon,
said Carr who is president of the
Bolivar Copper Co. whose mine
now is being developed near Pow-
erjfany of these deposits, il de
veloped, would add to the revenue
in Roseburg and Douglas Coun
tv, he stated. He said the records
show that we could have a large
production of copper, gold and su
ver. In the past copper was only
6 to 10 cents a pound and was a
bv-product of the gold mines. But
with modern mining and milling
methods, copper could be one 01
our principal sources oi continuous
income, lie mainiauis. i "
cases the gom anu suver wumu
pay all mining and milling ex
penses. The copper would be clear
profit.
Age of Copper
"Production of copper in Ore
gon to Dec. 31, 1939, was 24,104,000
pounds," said Carr. "This is a
copper ago and we should bo get
iinfl mir chnm of the income from
our metal deposits. If some of our
copper deposits aro just 50 per
cent as good as the Bingham mines
of Utah, the incomo from them
would give steady employment for
several thousand wnritcrs anu tuu
a good income to tho surrounding
communities. I think we have sev

Jovin Brake Supply
Building Is Being

Facilities at Jovin Brake Sup

about one-third larger, when con

It is of block construction.
Nordling said he is adding to
his front end alignment and brake

operation will not bo materially
changed, except that there will he
larger facilities in which to work.
Jovin Brake Supply handles parts
for garages and service stations
also.
The business was started by
Nordling and his father in 1946.
Tho name Jovin was taken from
his father's first name, Joseph,
and his own name, Vincent.

The Bolivar Copper Co. mine is
located about 34 miles east of
Powers in the southeast corner of
Coos County, two miles west of
the Douglas County line and on
the north slope of the Saddle
Peaks. The mill sites are located
on Bolivar Creek and the north
slope of Bolivar Mountain.
The property consists of 25 lode
claims, or about 500 acres, and
seven five-acre mill sites. The de
posit was originally discovered by
Carl Ohman in 1900, and redis
covered by men named -Thompson
and Murphy in 1906. Murphy was
killed in a forest fire in 1913. Part
of the deposit was known as the
Thompson mine.
Some Early Development
In the search for gold there was
some development work done in
1915 and 1916. There were no roads
at that time and the nearest rail
road was 17 miles by trail from
the mine. Copper was worth six
cents a pound and with no roads
to the deposit it could not be de
veloped.
The deposit was re-located in
1953 by Carr. Roads have been
graded to the mine, which will be
an open-pit operation. A large
Grand Opening
Held For Quality
Furnishers Co.
Grand opening of Quality Fur
nishers in its new location at 622
SE Jackson St. was held Friday
and today. A public auction is
scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday at
the former temporary location on
W. Harvard Ave. for old stock dis
posal.
Quality Furnishers was blasted
and burned out of its former quar
ters at 644 SE Stephens St. All
stocks were lost. The business was
set up temporarily in the former
auction market in the Schemer
building in west Roseburg and was
there almost nine months.
The Kolhagen building on Jack
son, vacated by Trowbridge tiee-
tnc, and anetner nunumg, iron:
ing on SE Rose, directly to the
rear, were obtained for the busi
ness. The two buildings are con
nected. The building on Roso will
be used largely for storage and
for freight unloadings. A basement
area also is to be made over lor
used appliance merchandising.
Dave Almada, owner of the busi
ness, said he is giaa to get o.ick

area has been developed and core
drilled and is ready to start min
ing at this time. A sawmill is be
ing installed and the building of
the bunkers and ore mill building
will be started as soon as the
lumber is available.
The average analysis of the Boli
var ore is 5 to 7Vi per cent of
copper per ton, with silver repre
senting 1.20 ounces and gold .06
ot one ounce per ton, bringing
the average ore value to $36.18
per ton. Copper samples have as-
sayeu as nign as 15 to 20 per
cent in certain outcroppings and
in one runnel.
By contrast the highly-produc
tive Bingham mine in Utah, which
covers 9i2 acres has an average
of only .82 per cent of coDDer wiih
gold for an average ore value of
only 54.S2 per ton.
High Production
However, in the period from
1904 to 1955 copper production
from that mine totalled 13,048,057,-
AJI pounds, with 3,580,240 man
hours of time chalked up. Gross
income from the mine amounted
to $1,907,810,808. Of this payrolls
represented $395,309,439 and sup
plies $504,315,953.
Further comparisons were made
with other southwestern Oregon
Mines. The Alemcda mine of 160
acres, located on the south slope
of Reuben Mountain about four
miles north of Calico and 12 miles
from the Bolivar mine had an ore
assay of $34.20 per ton, includin
gold and silver, plus 7,197 pounds
01 icaci.
Brass Ledge mine (also known
as topper tagle mine,) located
four miles northwest of Galice and
covering 60 acres assayed 4 to 5
per cent copper with gold at $2 a
ton for an average ore value of
$27 per ton.
Queen of Bronze mine, Wi miles
east of Takilma, near the East
Fork of the Illinois River and cov
ering 160 acres had copper aver
aging 4 to 4.7 per cent a ton and
an average ore value of $30.20 per
ton, including silver and gold
Cowboy mine, three miles south
east of Takilma was mined from
1916 to 1928, shipping to the smel
ter at Takilma, and from 1928 to
1930 total of 5,000 tons were mined
with an estimated value of $300,-
000.
There were several others in
that same area, including Copper
King mine, Continental mine, Cop
per Mountain Mining Co. mine and
the Kerby Queen Copper mine.
They are similar to the Queen of
Bronze in the character of their
ore, their modes of occurrence and
values.
Emphasizing that all these
mines have proved far richer in
copper, gold and silver than the
Bingham mines Carr Asked:
"Don't you think that Roseburg
could gain a great deal if some
of our copper deposits were put
into production?"
