SOME MINES IP .MM MM
' 1
The Oawson City papers report
the discovery of a fabulously rich
quartz lodge on the Yukon river,
seven miles from Dawson. The
rook is free milling and ' the ledge
is said to be a mile wide and a
thousand feet deep.
Tbe Oregonian's Annual, issued
on January 1st, prints a number of
excellent pictures of mineB In oper
ation in Southern Oregon, the illus
trations being accompanied by state
mentu relative to tbe richness of
the mines of this and adjoining
counties.
: Isaac Morris picked up a $126
nugget, last week, while oroeeing
Powell's ereek, on his claim. The
chunk of gold had caught in the
rocks, and tbe clear water over it
was quite deep, but Mr. Morris
finally deoided to go in after tbe yel-
low lump. Qrants Pass Observer.
Tbe quartz taken from the ledge
discovered some time siuce by
Malcolm Johnson, on Jackson
oreek, i aseayihg over (20 to the
ton. Mr. Johnson now has a tunnel
in twenty-five feet, and finds the
indications of a rich and extensive
body of ore inoreasing.
At the Sturges mine a greatly in
creased area of ground has been
washed off recently, which Mr
Sturges recently slated, was the
richest part of the mine, and the
present indications are that this
season's clean-up will be the most
satisfactory one yet made.
A large force of miners was re
cently put to work on the Reames
& Dugan ledge, on Jackson creek,
recently purchased by Messrs. H.
L. McWilliams nd P. S. Casey,
and a considerable . quantitv of
quartz hits already been taken out'
.A mill will soon be added to the
property, sufficiently large to care
for the present output.
The preliminary estimate of the
production of gold and silver tn the
United Slates during tbe calendar
year 1899, made by Mr. Roberts,
the director of the mint, shows a
total gold production of $70,694,170,
an increase over the production of
last year of 6,23,o70. The pro
duction of silver -luring the year is
estimated at $74,424,696, an in
crease during the year of $4,040,2 li.
Jesse Huggins has discovered, or
rather rediscovered, a section of the
old channel on the divide between
Forest and Jackson creeks, which
promises to yield fine gold in a
manner befitting its fame of forty
years ago. . Although his present
facilities for Working the prospects
are Inadequate, Mr. Huggins is now
getting out of it , it ore than what
would be considered fair wages for
the labor involved, and the amount
taken out as a result of the. ground
sluicing is inoreased by the frequent
finding of nuggets of varying valup.
It is believed that the mine will
prove . a regular bonanza to Mr.
Huggins if he is able to secure the
water necessary to work it properly.
Mrs. Wm. Heeley, of Jackson
ville, on Friday last rooeived a letter
from her husband, who is now at
Eagle City, Alaska, about 100 miles
from Dawson, Mr. Heeley has been
in Alaska over two years, and this
was the first letter received by the
family for about six months.. He
reports a serious conflict with black,
leg scurvy, and although a man of
over seventy years of age, he recov
ered, while many younger and
stronger men died of the disease.
Hq has not had the hoped for good
luok in mining yet, and will go to
Cape Nome in the cpring, wintering
in .Duwfon. ' Th (ouiUvy,,- in his
opinion, is vory mr.fih overrated,
and while there is some very rich
property, nut one in 600 hab secured
any of it.
R. W. Anderson, an able em
ploye of thii Applegate Gold Mining
and Mill Company, was in Medford
Wednesday. Mr. Anderson reports
that the company has 800 feet of
tunneling run and have struck sev
eral ledges, varying in width flora
18 inches to three feet, and ' all
these show free gold. Tbey now
have men at work on a lead which
slows up fine. Rock from this
ledge bas been' sent to San Fran
oisco to be assayed and when tbe
results' are known tbe work will be
pushed vigorously.
The immense gold discoveries in
Alaska during tbe past few years
have drawn to that territory a largo
"umber of people. And while it is
a conceded fact that much of that
vast region is bleak, mountainous
and hardly susceptible of habitation,
yet, tbe country at large possesses
many valuable resources which will
become available later, and which
will add largely to the commerce of
the Pacific nortbweet. 1 From tbe
extent of the gold discoveries al
ready reported, it may be assumed,
hh in the states of California, Ore
gon, Colorado, Nevada and others,
that new discoveries will continue
to be made for many years to come
and that gold will be found in pay
ing quantities over a wide area' of
country. If this ehould prove to
be true, as it undoubtedly will, a
large industrial population will be
drawn to these extended fields, new
enterp.Ues will be inaugurated,
capital will demand recognition,
and tbe time is not distant when
tbe once frigid and iubospital
Alaska will be prepared to demand
admission into the Union as a sov
ereign state.

it gives great satisfaction. In these

and tbeir apparent feats of memory

"Take, for example, the case of a po
litical personage at a public reception,
lie is sure to be surrounded by a group
of local leaders, who know everybody
in town,, Presently a valuable couatit
uent approaches. 'Colonel,' whispers
one of tbe henchmen, 'here comes MrJ '

cu tehee on promptly. 'What does Blank'
do?' he whispers baek. 'lie's a produce
merchant,' replies the henchman. l)y
that time the valuable constituents gee
in range. 'How are y', my dear Mr.'
Blank!' exclaims the notable, cordially. .
'I'm delighted to see you again; and,
how is the produce business comlni
