MINES, MINERS AND MINING OF SOUTHERN OREGON. (Written exclusively for Tim Mail by a reliable representative.) Henry Feitchieu, Wm. Mack and Stcver A Anderson are severally running their ground sluice claims on Palmer creek with encouraging prospects of good paying clean-bps Smith, Morris A Phillips have been running their giant steadily on their Palmer oreek claim since the early, heavy rainfall, and are clearing off a large area of bedrock. From favorable indications they will be greatly disappointed if they do not make a profitable' season's run. II. C. Carter A Sod, who been cutting a rock for a water way at the head of the Swain company's mining ditch for the past three months, have about completed the contract. This will guard againBt a possible break that might occur at a time when it would be expen sive in the way of delaying opera tions. Joe Cox lately discovered a ledge on Water gulcb, about a half mile from the Shook A Stanley property. The ledges have the same charac teristics, the general formation, walls and ore are the sasie, and assays show about the same valueB. Mr, Cox is running a tunnel on the vein with a view to such prospeo'ing on the discovery as will give him some idea of its value. The Mail learns from a reliable pernor) juBt in from the mine that J. B. Scott has made a rich strike in his ledge on Humbug creeK. The new shaft, 200 feet from the old, is down fifty feet. The ledge is now fifteen inches wide, and at the lowest depth, shows high grade ore of such quality as will make it a fine milling proposition. Mr. Scott certainly deserves success for the energy he has displayed in the development of the mine. The more carefully the ledges ot South ern Uregon are investigated, tne more apparent becomes their value. The idea which once prevailed that this is simply a pocket country, has gone the way of all absurdities, and few are left to cherish its memory. H. O'Neil is prospecting a ledge on Palmer creek, a tributary of Big Applegate, whioh he says gives promise of developing into a valu able property. He has a Bbaft down on the vein 16 feet, and a tunnel in 17 feet. The pay streak is narrow but carries considerable free gold. Two orushingB of the average ore yielded, respectively, $15 and $22. 75 per ton. Mr. O'Neil has a placer olaim on the flat immediately be low the ledge, whioh he says will pay 50 cents per cubic yard, but the trouble is, the want of a suffi cient water supply with which to work it successfully. Mr. O'Neil is not able to' Btand the expense of developing the ledge and fitting up his placer as the. situation requires, though he intends to make con siderably more' than a living out of them, even by the slow process em ployed in working them. J. M. Dews, of Big Applegate, waB in the, valley last week, from whom Tub Mail learnB that miners of his seotion have plenty of walor and are utilizing it for all it is worth. Mr. Dews 1b operating his Palmer creek placers and is uncov ering an unusual amount of bed- rook. The prospects are more - en couraging than heretofore,- and Mr. Dews thinks ho . will make a fine pay inn olean-up. Mr. Dews has been prospnoting a vein on Palmer oreok, located Inst summer, and from results already obtained he is sanguine the lodge will prove to be NO. 11. rich, the only drawback being its width, eleven inches. He has a tunnel in on the yein forty-five feet. The walls are smooth and well de fined and the contact porphyry and slate. The ore assays on an aver age $60 to the ton, and gold can be seen with the naked eye in almost every piece of it. When Mr, Dews cleans up his season's work on his placers, be will resume, work on the ledge until he has satisfied himself as to its value. Sburtleff and Hainey, who are running a tiydraulio on Starrs gulch, a tributary of Big Applegate, have struck it rich. They have uncovered a pay streak from which they have picked up a large num ber of nuggets varying in size from 18 to 60 cents, which fairly makes the eye dance to look at. They have a large amount of ground but it is not probable a great deal of it is as rich as where they are working now. They did not get to work until late in the season, yet from present in dications they will make a large and , profitable cleanup. For the past 15 years this gulch, which prior to that time, was credited with fairly good results, hi s not met the ex pectations of those who worked there, and for the reason perhaps that operations were confined mainly to the channel, whereas the best pay is found to be on the flats or bars. The ditches to these dig gings were dug in 1855, and the gulco has been mined more or les3 ever since. :. Shook A Stanley are" prospecting a ledge on the head of Sardine creek that gives promise of develop ing into a valuable property. The ledge is thirty inches wide and mills $23 to the ton. -The vein matter is a mixture of quartz and decomposed shale and ' porphyry and will be easy to work. The assays taken promiscuously from the ledge vary from $17, the lowest, to $70, the highest, per ton. There are two shafts on the ledge, one hundred feet apart, down thirty-five feet each, and two tunnels, one in eighty and the other sixty feet on the vein. Each is designed to tap one of the shafts. The gold in the vein mat ter, so far as prospected and assayed, seems to be fairly uniform, except a few deposits which carried some very rioh specimens. There are 100 tons of ore on the dump, which will be crushed at the Gold Hill custom mill when it is completed. . Mr. Shook, from whom the above facts were obtained, believes this to be one among the most promising quartz properties in the district. H. D, Kubli, of the Gold Stand ard mine on Galls oreek, informs The Mail, that the ore now being taken from the vein at a lower depth is of a much higher average grade than that nearer the surface, The vein has widened out to two feet and a highly mineralized bed of ore reached, surpassing anything yet developed in the mine, except the rich pockets heretofore reported A. force of men is kept constantly at work taking out ore, , but Mr. LEVI STBAUSS&Ci SPRIG BOTTOM PANTS 'afBbat aaiTlLJfc.iiaiai Nomerohsutabould naltforaprlnc bualnea. to open Mo abonld (t aone Hood advertlalnf material and try to foroo the opening. Til c Mil L la a forcer 2200 , SWORN CIRCULATION. : Kubli says the mill will not be started for some time yet on ac count of the difficulty of transport ing the ore over the soft roads. He is more sanguine than ever of the value of the mine and will push development work as fast as' a practical force of men can do it. He hopes by fall to have 'so far proven the value and permanency of the property as to add such further important improvements as he now has in contemplation for the more speedy And effectual work ing of the mine. . .. ' . The Champion Gold Mining Com paay, of Tacoraa, Wash.,' who are developing the Messenger ledge, sit uated between Williams and Powell creeks, have already- spent about $10,000 on the property and think .1 i . u :v. ,u.f in ready to be stamped out, to mill $700,000. the property has been undergoing systematic development for the past year, in addition to what had been done on it before. From ten to twenty-five men have been constantly employed. , The tunneling and shafting will exceed 800 feet. This, with the steepness of the mountain, gives a depth from the surface of 950 feet. The vein. will average forty inches, and at the depth of 050 feet the walls are smooth and perfect, the contact be ing slate and quartzite slate. The management, from whom this in formation was obtained, say there is no question but it is a true fissure vein, and the whole ore body highly mineralized. It is not considered to be free gold bearing, ytt tix ton crushed at the Bailey mill on Mis souri Flat, a month ago, yielded fifty-seven ounces of amalgam, and 1770 pounds of concentrates, the value of which . the management preferred not to give. . A five stamp mill of the latest type with crushers, plates, ore feeders, concentrators,' sluice tables, settling tanks, and all the modern improved appliances, have been ordered from San Fran cisco and will be set up and com mence crushing as soon after it caches the mine as possible. No dbtailed statement of the work done on this mine has been made here tofore because the management did not care to give out anything until the value of the mine should be fully demonstrated. , The company are satisfied now tbey have a propi erly of very great value, and in its further development they, propose to prove there are true fissure veins, and deep paying mines in Southern Oregon. .;: ''c y-i It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y ) dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see hia child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's, Cough Remedy, whioh he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned,, sayiutr the doctor seed not come, as the ohlld was much bntter. The drug-' gist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family, has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand, for it from that part ot the country.'
