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. , ..
