MINERS Ai
OF
(Written exclusively or Thk Mail by a reliable representative.)
A Buiall stamp mill is in process
of coustruotion and will toon be
completed on the ledge owned by
Dunlap, near Tolo.
VIcRoy, who owne a valuable
plaoer claim on Forest creek about!
two miies aDove tne sturgis prop
erty, was in the valley the last part
of the week,' Mr. VicRoy has been
running his giant since early in the
season and is getting off a large
amount oi ground. He expects to
make a profitable clean-up.
A. L. Kitchen," the lessee of the
Miller mine, on Farmer's Flat, has
bad an unusually favorable winter's
run. Generally speaking, be has
bad a fair head of water and no
breaks to retard operations. The
gold is mainly coarse, and quite a
good deal has been ' picked up al
ready. He expects a good clean-UP-
' . , ,
Pearce & Sons, on Poor man's
creek, who have been short of water
since the last rains, now have a
good head and are running their
giant with all the energy possible,
as the supply will last but a short
time without more rain. This is a
valuable claim but can only be
operated to good advantage during
a wet winter.
Ivan Hummason, eon of Mrs.
Dekum, of Portland, has contracted
for a ten stamp rjuartz mill to be
built on the south bank of Rogue
river, opposite Gold Hill. The mill
will be furnished complete with all
the latest modern appliances and
improvements for saving the free
gold and concentrates, and will do
custom work for the variouB ledges
in the vicinity of Gold Hill.
Arthur Thompson, who has been
working for Cook & Hotrell during
the season on the old Jas. Herd
olaira on Forest creek, was in the
valley lust week, from whom it is
learned work is being pushed with
all possible vigor on the claim, and
a large amount of dirt is being
moved. - The late rains will largely
increase the volume ' of water,
lengthen the season's operation and
materially add to the annual -output.
If reports may be relied upon
as indicating results, this year will
be a record breaker in the gold out
put of this noted oreek.
An immensely rioh discovery is
reported as having been made by
V. D. Gardner, on a small tributary
of Sucker creek. ' It is said the dirt
will pay $60 to the pan,- and that
the value of the quartz Is almost
incredible, some of it assaying as
high as $100,000 to the ton. The
Mail's informant ' believes this is
one of the richest strikes ever made
in Southern Oregon, and said if
Buoh a find were reported in the
frozen regions of Alaska thousands
of men' would rush to the scene,
though they had ' to endure every
hardship and privation to do so.
Here at home, whre the whole
mineral district is easily accessible
and the climate mild : and genial,
no one thinks of getting excited
over a discovery. r
F. M. Smith,' who hue been work
ing ou the A. J. Beck claim on Car
berry fork of Big Applegate, says
Mr. Beck has cotnmonoed to dig a
large ditoh of the oapaoity of 1500
to 2000 inches in order to have
water the year around. He has a
good supply for winter purpose from
his present ditches, but, wants a
continuous supply. He oommenoed
to pipe about two weeks ago, and
hits been engaged in opening up ah
old ohannol 8 feot higher than the
NO. 10.
MINIM
SOUTHERN
bed of the present stream. He does
not expect to do more than fairly
open the claim and prove its value
this winter, though he has no doubt
from previous prospecting, but it
will pay well. Carberry fork has
been mined successfully for many
years, and has been no inconsider
able gold producer.,,
. Joseph Voyle who has had a large
amount of work done on a group of
mines near the head of Jackson
creek, has suspend operations, and
written to the land department at
Washington propounding a series of
questions touohing the legal status
of mineral lands in Southern Ore
gon. He is particularly anxious to
know the true status of lands clearly
and undeniably mineral, for which
patents have been issued, and , the
rights of miners, if any, under suoh
patents. In other words, since the
govern mint reserves . all mineral
lands from the operation of its pat
ents, whether or not, if a miner dis
covers a gold bearing vein, or pay
ing placer on patented lands, he ' is
legally authorized in taking posses
sion of, and working it. The an
swers t Mr. Voyle's questions, when
received, will be published for the
benefit of the public.
Capt. Boaz, of Big Applegate, was
in the valley last week. He has
been working ou Ned's gulch for the
past thirty years. His donation
land claim is immediately above it
on Appleg'.te. This gulch has been
Mr. Boaz rich and never failing har
vest from year to year. . It has been
the bank upon which be has con
fidently drawn his checks, and the
first one is yet to be dishonored
On account of the large amount of
money taken from this claim, Mr.
Boaz has been variously styled the
"Jay Gould," the ."Capitalist," the
"Financial Oraole" of Applegate.
This particular gulch has a tragic
history of which few now have any
knowledge. Early in the spring of
1854 an old man by the same of
Ned Philips discovered the gulch,
built a cabin and went to mining
there alone. The guloh was rich
aud paid well. Alter . working a
while Philips went over to Jackson
ville for supplies. . He knew many
people in town and among them D.
Linn and Jack Papaw. . PhilipB
told these men where he was turn
ing and that the gulch was rich and
ha was doing well, and asked them
to come oyer and see him. In a few
days Linn and Papaw, who were
working on Rich gulch, procured
saddle horses and rode over there.
On nearing the ' cabin they came
aoross the dog lying dead, ahd ap
proaching nearer they saw Philip's
dead body near the cabin door
where he had been shot 'down ' by
Indians, presumably front appear
ances, when he first came out of the
cabin in the morning. Linn and
Papaw returned to town and a party
went out and made a coffin from
the miner's sluice boxes and buried
the remains near his "'claim.' "No
publio mention has ever been made
of this circumstance, so far as the
writer knows, eino it transpired up
to the preBent time. Philips was
killed April 15, 1854.
