OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1900
MINES, MINERS ANDrffiNII
OF SOUTHERN OREGON.
(Written exclunivoly for Tub Mail by a reliable representative.)
, It is learned that II. Lenthye,
who owns the GypHy Queen mine,
on Althouse creok, haa decided to
put a Htamp mill on hia ' property.
It could not be learned what the
ore would pay per ton, nor the
quantity on the dump.
The Blalock Bros., 'who Own a
Valuable placer . mine on diftve
creek, have taken out considerable,
money already .this season from
partial cleanups. They expeot to
Lt unusually well paid ' for the
season's work when the final clean
up is made in June.
James Daviee, on Lenox gulch of
Forest creek, is still picking up
nuggets and must now have a large
sack full of tbem, as he has been
picking tbem up all winter. , Tbey
vary in size from $1 to $20, and the
claim seems to abound in tbem.
Sufficient is already known of the
season's work from what can be
seen that it will be very large and
far surpass that of any former year.
The , Mail learns from Jack
Cameron who was over from Apple
gate last week, that a rich strata of
free gold has been discovered in
the Kennedy & Spencer dike ledge
near Unionlown. Nothing could
be learned concerning its extent or
the character of ore in which it was
found. There is considerable gold
visible to the naked eye, and the
owners are more than ever con-
vinoi d they have a. valuable
property when it is properly de
veloped. ' The Granite Hill hydraulic mine
of Louse creek ie making an usually
fine showing this year. . The gold
is mainly ooarse, and something
more than a hundred ounces were
obtained from a partial cleanup
last week. The mine is owned by
Booth, Mangnon & Hull, and is
considered one of the beet in the
district. Another cleanup will be
made this week, which, it is ex
pected, will be no less profitable
than the last. Millard Hull, one of
the owners and a practical miner, is
superintending operations.
It is learned from E. A. Kiessling
that the Oregon Bonanza mine,
which has been undergoing a sys
tematic course of development by
competent mining men for the past
two months, 1b now showing a six-
foot vein between . perfect walls,
which assays something more than
$50 to the ton in gold and about 20
cents in silver. : Free gold can be
seen in much of the rock wl h the
naked -eye. This is believed to be
a fine property, and one that will
develop into permanancy and large
value. :
A large ledge is being developed
on Horsehead, a short , distance
above the Granite Hill mine, by a
Fittaburg, Pa.; Co. .The ledge was
formerly known as the Dixie Queen.
The vein, at the bottom of a 40 foot
shaft,' whioh is tapped by a tunnel
150 feet long, is nearly 0-foot wide.
another tunnel is being run, to tap
the ledge 150 feet lower still. This
tunnel' is now in 220 feet,' and the
workmen expeot to strike the ledge
at any time. The Pittsburg Co. in
tend to fully prove the value of the
ledge before abandoning it.
. It i should be ; understood that
there can be no fixed or arbitrary
rule ,. for . determining . the quantity
of assessment; work to be done on a
mining claim.M Surrounding condt
tione, the quality i of the work,, the
time consumed, are all faotors to be
qqnuderaoV in jnaakjing ;ihi es,y mAte.
The disposition to 'juip"'iolin
that prevailed bore years ego, when
NO. 21,
the light placers were being worked,
and when the mining population
was transient and felt no responsi
bility, has entirely passed away.
No one ever hears of a claim being
jumped ' these days, whether the
assessment work -has been (lone or
hot. 'But in order, to be prepared to
meet any, contingency,) it, is,,Bftr
and better to fulfill the requirements
of law. : This placet the miner 1 on
a - solid foolintt and ' insures ' him
against any 'disturbance in'his pos
sessions. ..' ... . . j
The Mail learns from G. C Culy,
who was down from Steamboat the
last of the week, that Shearer Bros.,
are still piping and will continue
for three or four . weeks yet. ' They
have uncovered much more bedrock
this year than usual and have'
picked up a large number ; of nug
gets. .They ' expect the clean-up
this season to far . exceed that of
any former ' year. ; Though 1 this
claim has been operated for a num
ber of , years past, and has been,
quite a large gold producer, little
was heard of it until the present,
season, when inquiries were made
by The Mail concerning it. ' It is
a large property, with an extra
good water privilege and plenty of
pressure and dump, and is equipped
with a fine hydraulic plant with
all the modern improvements.
Shearer Bros, think they have one
of the most valuable mining prop
erties in Southern Oregon. There
is enough good ground on the claim
to last for Beveral generations.
Reeves & Williams, who own the
Cold Spring copper mine, located
about a mile' west of the Yank
ledge in the. Galice creek district,'
are pushing development work on
their property with all possible
speed and have a large amount of
ore on the dump which assays well
both in . gold and copper. The
ledge is clear cut, well defined, has
perfect walls, and there is every
indication that it will prove to be
a permanent and valuable prop
erty. There are many base ledges
in the district which show high
grade values by assays, but contain
little free gold, and quartz miners
who are accustomed to free milling
ore are slow to take hold of proposi
tions which may prove difficult
and expensive to work. The aver
sion to ledges of this character is
mainly because few miners in the
district have' bad any , experience
in working base ore. With the
new and improved processes of
amalgamation and separation' by
chemicals, the ore of these ledges
can be treated very cheaply.-
The Mail learns from Henry E.
Ankeny, who was - over from the
Sterling mine the last of the week,
that piping will be . continued at
least until the first of July, and
possibly longer,. v depending upon
the weather. He Bays the cleah-up
will not be finished before the mid
die of August.' Though the season
has been an unusually ! favorable
one. and without, any; breaks or
drawbacks in operations,-yet the
nature of the ground piped 'off has
been such hard,' tough! tahd un

formerly. Mr. Ankeny thinks tha
ground is richer than the averago
worked over, and he looks for the
clean-up to be larger than for some
years past. The company is work

I be original discovery claim en
Jump Off-Joe, knowual the 'fifenry
wines claim, wnicn created-. such
an excitement in 1868, now 'owned
by Sexton & Niday, is still, a. large
gold producer, i Tha.iyoung men
lately made a large clean-up as a
result -(1of the , last winter'a 'run.
While- this .claim ' baa uniformly
yielded large. 'returns',-,. the balance
of the creek has always been con
sidered to be too .''spotted" for the
miner of. limited , means to work.
By hydraulic., process,, no doubt
large areas of it will pay i and largely.
The C. & C. Co. thalhas Jately con
structed a large ditch and put an
expensive hydraulic plant and saw
mill on the creek, own about three
miles of ground below the Wines
discovery, and it is believed the
company has a valuable proposition.
It is learned from T. P. Kahler
that Dr. Ray, of the Swinden mine,
near Gold Hill, has in bis employ
in and-about the mill and ledges
from which he is . crushing . ore,
about fifty men, and will in a short
time send an additional force of
several men to work on the Elk
creek ledges. ' The mill and .ledge3
are being op ate" flight and day
with double shifts, and everything
in connection with' the business
pushed to its utmost capacity. Dr.
Ray has - more mining locations
than any other two men in the
county and is evidently in tha
business to stay; and there is per
haps not another man in the county
uv,iu iibicu i vj , ..no vuui uv.t.. v
work than the doctor. He is' a
man of fine business qualifications;
solid, conservative, of even temper,
and moreover a rustler who knows
a proposition when he sees it. A.
dozen enterprises such as the doctor
is prosecuting would make a great
difference with the people of Jack
son County in the' matter of em
ployment of idle men,', and ; in. the
benefits of a large weekly payroll!
If the Elk creek' property should
meet the doctor's expectation, it
will be ; but a short time until
stamps will be dropping on the ore
in that district. The opinion has
been expressed by , a' number of
persons whose judgment in quartz;
matters ought to be good, that Elk
creek will yet turn out to be a sec-
ond ' Bohemia, ' and 1 the leading
quartz district in the county. The
formation is almost exactly .the
same as Bohemia, the vein matter
is the same, the ledges' are about
the same size, the., same volcanic
evidences appear, , and the . ledges
have the same goneratdirection. If
this section should develop into a
Bohemia within the ..next three or
four years, there will be employ
ment for six or eight, hundred ad
ditional men.. in i Jackson .County
