J : ' OREGON, FRIDAY,' MARCH 2, 1900 MINERS AND MINING OF (Written exclusively for Thb Mail by a reliable.reprenentative.) Tho mill on the Kuhli mine at GuIIh creolc will be started up again next week, when good news may be expected to be beard from this valuable property. C. L. Carr, of Portland, who is in terested in the Ivanhoe mines, near Jacksonville, came out last week to look after the property and ' to em ploy a force to do some development work. It is reported that five tons of ore from the Rising Star mine on Wil liams creek, crushed at the Bailey mill on Missouri Plat, yielded some thing like 1150 to the ton. A ton or more of concentrates was saved from the crushing which it is ex pected will materially enhance the yield. The old Anderson hydraulic mine, on Sucker creek, now owned by J. Car, is reported as showing up unusually well this year. The gold is mainly coarse and a number of large nuggets have been picked up. Mr. Car will be surprised if be does not make a large and profit' able clean-up. The Beach & Platter claim, situ ated on a tributary of Althouse creek, owned by Joa. McCourt, and wihch has been a large gold pro ducer for many years, gives prom' ise of a large yield this year. Mr. McCourt has been running; his hydraulic since ear'y in the season, and feels sanguine of a profitable c)nrvup. " R. A. Cook & Suns, of Foots creek, have been running their giant as steadily during the winter as their water supply would admit, and have cleaned off much more bedrock this year than usual. The late rains will very materially ex- tend their working period and largely add to the season's work They expect to make a splendid clean-up. Knapp & White, of Portland, who bought the Bliss ledge on Galls creek, will commence operations on their property next week. It is their intention, as a ureliminarv work, to sink a deep shaft 'on the vein in such manner as to afford them an opportunity to eive it a thorough prospecting before putting in extensive works. The shaft will be pushed as fast as a force of men can do the work. C. C. Martin, who has been team ing for the C. AC. Co.,, of Jump- Off-Joe, for several months past, came up last week to visit his fam ily in Jacksonville. , Mr. Martin says the company will soon have completed and in operation a new sawmill to out suoh lumber as may be required for building, flurcing and other purposes, and expeots to have everything In readiness and two giants in operation sometime in Maroh. - - J. II. Brantner, the miner on Big Applegate, was in the oity last week upon business. ' Mr. Brantner has been engaged in cutting a new race and putting in new flumes, He was desirous of getting into better ground than that which he has been working off this winter,- and now that he has found , it the returns may reasonably bo rxpected to run into big figures. He has not as yet made a clean up of this season's run. V' ;': . , ",i From A. W; Shearer, who was down from Steamboat last week, it is barned that J. M. Tome is de veloping a promising ledge about a liplf mile west of the old Steamboat discovery. , Mr, Toms hu tunnel NO. 9. SOUTHERN in 176 feet on the vein, whioh is 18 inches wide, and mills in free gold $10 per ton. This ore is rich in sulphurets which assay high and render the property valuable.though the expense of shipping for reduc tion will be onsiderable. The walls are a contact of serpentine and por phyry and are smooth and well de fined, i ' ' ''I-'- ' !-' " . , , The 5 stamp mill, formerly owned by Orme & Co. on Foots creek, has been bought by Cnilcoot & Messcar, who will remove it to some convex ient site in the Williams creek dis trict where there are a number of promising ledges which are ex peoted to furnish all the ore the mill will be able to crush. A mill for testing the ledges of this dis trict, in a praotical way, has long been needed, and this will supply the demand. McWilliams & Casey have re ceived a carload of lumber at the depot for. their new mill on Jackson creek, which is being hauled to the site by local teamsters.' Five men came down from Ashland Sunday to put up the mill and r ork will be pushed on the structure as fast as the force qan do it. The machinery is about all on the ground and will be put in position as the work on the building progresses. The own ers expect to have their mill in op eration in a short time. The com pany has a large amount of ore on the dump, and with access to the big ledge, there will be no lack of ore for generations to come. J as. Young, the owner of the Steamboat ledge, was in Jackson ville during the week. Mr.- Young reports the discovery of a new de posit on the old ledge, about 300 yards from the former works. He has run a tunnel in 100 feet on the vein which is from 15 to 20 inches wide. The ore assays $10 in free gold, and is rich in auriferous sul phurets. Mr. Young has discovered another ledgo 400 yards east of the old works, and will run a tunnel 150 feet which will tap the vein 100 feet below the surface. He hopes by tbis tunnel to prove the value of the edge. It prospects about $10 on the surface. One of the new mines which is right now giving promise of big re turns is the Spencer & Kennedy ledge, on Little Applegate. A 5x7 foot shaft has been sunk twenty five feet and the rock has increased in value as the shaft has gone down. The width of the ledge has not been determined but a trace of the east wall has been found 200 feet from the shaft. All the rock taken from the shaft is gold bearing, and an assay taken from thb surface rock showed $2.50 in free ' cold. Assays were made every two or three feet as the Blnvft went down and thoy have run from $5 to $15, the last one being $15 in free : gold and $500 in sulphurets. .A mill test is now being made.., This ledgo is located about a mile above Robt. Cameron's residence. The placer gold which has been taken but be low tho ledge shows very little waBh and it is thought to have come, from this lodge. , ..

Feed in Arizona is ex hausted and sheep will surely die if not shipped out. - The young wife of the great Chi nese statesman, Li Hung Chang, is said to possess 2000 different cos tumes, and she keeps several hun dreds of maids to wait upon her. The war in Africa has been ' the cause of Great Brittian chartering 214 modern ' seagoing 1 steamships with a tonnage of over s million; tons. Tramp steamers are in de mand. , , The battles in South . Africa; so far as we can observe, do not come up to the military skill displayed in the American civil war of forty years ago, notwithstanding thai Im provements made in , armaments since that period. : v, vt ' , New York has secured' the. larg est floating dry docks in the ' world. The dock is being constructed 1 by the government. It will be 525' feet long, 190 feet wide and 28 feet1 in draught, and is capable' of lifting any ship ever built. It will cost $1,000,000 and is to be completed in the fall. ' With Russia building a railroad across nothern Europe and Asia from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, and England proposing -to build- another across southern Asia and Europe, the United States Wilt have pretty good control of the Pa cifio shipping interests by its' Cali fornia and Alaska coast line, to gether with the : Hawaiian, ' Philip pine, Guam, Samoa and Aleutian islands, ' :' - The negotiations for the purchase by the Vanderbilts of $2,000,009 worth of real estate, including about 1000 acres and two miles of the best ocean front at Vancouver, B.' C, cannot strictly be regarded as among the first of the fruits of ex pansion that are going to prove , so palatable to our western people, be cause the territory does not lie io. the boundaries of his country. Net'-, ertheless, such an 'acquisition by such long-headed people ib a grati- -fying indication of faith in the de velopment that is expected to coma to the Pacific coast.
