The Lindley & CuBter claim," iri
the Oscar creek district, produc
ing some fine nuggets this year,
The lucky owners, among numerous
smallor finds, have picked , up. one
spocimen woighing 102.60, and l.n
other woighing 120. These are the
kind of claims that pay as the work
progresses, and encourage the iniper
to more strenuous efforta.''" '
Tlie Isabel mine, a valuable
proposition situated on Green
mountain in the Galice creek dU:
trict, was bonded a short time since
toW. T.Emery and J. L Wal-
stein, of Oukland, California. The
mine was discovered by the Marlin
Bros, two or three years ago, and
has been considered a very promis-'
ing property from its first discovery,
It was bonded for (8000, and Messrs
Emery & Walstein will commence
systematic development work on a
lorge scale at once.
McClure & Cox, who are opening
a large and promising ledge near
Gold Hill, have about 150 tons of
ore ready for crushing, and from
careful tests which have been made
of it, it is ezpeoted to average some
thing above $40 per ton. The vein
is sbout three feet wide and. gives
evidence of being Remanent. The
owners are confident of the value of
the property, and propose to prose
cute systematic development work
with all speed, with a view to plac
ing it in the best condition possible
as a woi king proposition.
A. W. Sturgis, the boss miner of
Forest creek, who owns about 600
acres of the richest mining ground
in Southern Oregon, brought over
110 ounces in dust, Monday, from
another partial clean-up of his
sluices. This makes something
over 350 ounces Mr. Sturgis has
taken from his boxes this year, and
he has not cleaned up a foot of
bedrock yet. Mr. Sturgis expects
to cloar $20,000 from this season's
work. His proposition will .last
for the next half dozen generations,
and there will still be lots of good
ground left.
It is astonishing what a practical
examination of the ledges of South
ern Oregon is disclosing. " Veins,
large and small, are being discov
ered in every direotion, and hardly
one can be found but is in some k
gree mineralized, and ' a percentage
of them, hitherto 'unsuspected,
carrying gold In paying quantities.
There are) at this time not leas than
300 ledges in course of development
in the oounty,- and many of them
with' the most flattering prospects
of becoming permanent and paying
properties, and about thirty mills
already running on tbem. The
mines of Southern Oregon have only
commenced to be prospected. What
they will develop in the next ten
years it would be difficult lo foresee.
The two large placer properties
at Waldo, owned and operated re
spectively by Simmons & Cameron
and Wimer. Bros., oro still running
on full time and with a . full force
ot men.- Those hydraulic, proposir
tions are specially favored in the
prime consideration of an abundant
water supply, and can. run at full
capacity night and day for .a long
period during each season. The
valuo of a placer property dopends
lnrgoly, in fact,' almost wholly, up
on its avaUablo wator supply. . Of.
course, the first consideration is as
to the gold it contains;, the second,
the water to tako it out. So far as
llio valuo of the claims, roforred to.
is concoruod, there is no i question.
They aro in ' tho heart. 'of a pro
ominently rioh placer seotiou -and
HO. 15.
have been large gold producers for
more than forty years, and . will
continue, to yield of their rich, stores
for the nextj fifty years to come.
Both -companies : expect an un
usually, large clean-up this season:
- McWilliamB k Casey- neve been
running their mill -on Jackoo creek
stetdjjy for the past .feu days er
more on fairly good ore, and - they
report everything in , connection
with it as working like a charm and
to their entire satisfaction. ; The
Maiu ias not been able to learn the
value of tbe ore: per ton,' but has
been promised upon a personal ex
animation ol tne nnli and ledges, a
report such as the owners may feel
justified, in making at tbe time.
That the property is valuable does
not now admit of a question. There
is an immense body of ore in the
big ledge, and while it is generally
considered to be low grade, it con
tains many rioh stratas which bring
it up to a high average,.: Mo Wil
liams & Casey are thoroughly . qual
ified business men of large experi
ence, and what is better still,, they
are rustlers and men of onnsual en
terprise. ' This property is destined
to be one of the leading gold "pro
ducers of the county. :;;..:'
EARLY RECOLLECTIONS OF ALTHOCSE
' ' MINTNO CAMP. , v:
The discovery of the rich mining
camp 'oh Althouse . creek created
more intense excitement,' perhaps,
than any other of the many excit
ing discoveries which were made m
Southern-Oregon in an early, day.
This was due m part -to the. find
ing of mrirjy large nuggets, which
seemed tp be a -''specialty ,;of, the
camp, and which were . shown
around stud the news " heralded
abroad, cadsing' an excited rush of
miners fronv all directions to -the
great camp6f big specimens;. ' The
creek was discovered in the spring
or earlytsummer' of '53,' and by
fall, when the writer was there, the
camp was. alive with ' men. " 'The
gorge in which the town of ' Alt-
