OREGON, FRIDAY, JANE 29, 1900
MINERS AND
5 OF SOUTHERN OREGON
(Written excluBively for Tub Maii, by a reliable representative.)
J. E. Lull!, a capitalist of Cali
fornia, hue bonded the Anaconda
mine, on Applegate.'and has a force
of men at work reopening ' and de
veloping it.
Tbe late rains have increased the
water supply to such an extent in
Ffjrest oreek that' Mr. Sturgis, of
the'hig placer mine, will be likely
to pi; for a month' yet, but will
continue at the' tame time to clean
up.
Stewart & Banfield are reported
as having made a rich discovery
near the forks of Boulder creek.
The ore is seamed with free gold.
The ; croppines are traceable for
some distance, ' but where they
opened the ledge it is narrow, only
about eight inches. They mortared
out 100 in a short time with a
small mortar, and believe tbey have
made a very valuable discovery and
will lose no time in developing it.
, Wimer Bros., of Waldo, have
oleaned up the season's work and
are reported to have taken out $20,
000. This is a handsome' margin
on' a working expense which can
hardly exceed six or seven thou
sand. This mine has been a large
gold producer for many years past
and is not likely to fal for many
years to come. Like the Simmons
fe Cameron property, it is a large
proposition and will he worked with
profit by after generations.
A. W. Shearer, of the Shearer
Bros, hydraulic mine, at Steamboat,
was down from the mine the last
of the wf ek. He reported that they
are still piping and will continue
until near the middle of July. They
have had a long and continuous
run and got off a large amount of
ground. They have picked up $300
during the season in nuggets vary
ing in Bi'ze from fifty cents to one
weighing 150, another $27, and an
other $20. They expect an un
usually large clean-up.
G. P. Wagner has discovered a
large base ledge of low grade ore
on the east side of Brush creek.
four miles north of old Steamboat.
The ledge is forty feet wide and is
more in the nature of a dike than a
ledge. The vein matter is a base
and badly mixed conglomerate of
quartz, serpentine, porphyry, the
magnesian compounds and calc
spar, and apparently ail more or
less mineralized. Mr. Wagner ex
pects to do a good deal of prospect
ing before being able to determine
the .value. of hie .'discovery. The
ore assays $6.30 per toil. ; .,'
Kubli Bros: mill, On Galls creek,
is running again on ?5 tons bf what
Kap thinks is very 'high grade ore.
He was dot 'willing to give an esti
mate, but expressed himself as san
guine of large returns. The ore was
considered rich enough to carefully
sack and house, and no doubt the
yifeld will be large. They have gone
down but a short dibtance on the
larger parallel lodge lately dis
covered. It was only ; about four
feet at the point of discovery from
the original Gold Standard, and
Kap deems to be of the opinion that
it is the Main ledge 'and the Gold
'Standard, Which is small, dimply a
stringer . from it. At . tho present
angle of inclination the; ledges will
oome together in a few ; feet, when
the Bros, will have a large and very
Yftluable proposition.
It is learned fiom James Burns,
of the partnership of Burns & Duf
field, who own a hydraulic claim
on Galls creek, that they had a
long, continuous and successful run
the past season, and have juBt com
pleted their clean-up. Mr. Burns,
26. I.
L
NO.
MINING
like many other miners, was reticent
as to the amount of the season's
work,' but said tbey did well and
that it was the bes t run tbey had
had for many years. He expressed
the opinion that the miners in that
immediate'district had done well
this ye'ar.'.The volume, of ..water
was greater than for some years
past, and (be '.precipitation more
uniform, thus affording . more con-'
stant and Uniform work.
J. M. Tome, who is prospecting
the ledge on the side of the moun
tain a half mile west of old Steam
boat, is still at work on it and be
lieves be has discovered the parent
ledge from which tbe blanket dis
covery of Steamboat was broken off
and slid down the moun' ain. Tbe
theory looks plausible enough. Tbe
ledge might have projected above
tbe surface and become detached
and slid down, or it might have
been carried down by a slide and
left in a flat position. At any rate,'
it was a flat, and not a vertical de
posit. The ledge is about- two' feet
wide with, vein matter of. the same
character as that of Steamboat'
Mr. Toms has traced it for 800 feet.
The ore is mainly free milling so
far as prospected, and assays $14
per ton. He intends to develop it
as fast as his means will allow bim
to do so.
J. R. Anderson, who bought the
Eph Owen claim, on Kanaka fiat,
has been running his ground sluice
for some time, but with "what suc
cess he is unable yet to say. This
flat, though it will all pay to work,
has always been, and is yet, handi
capped for water. The only sources
of supply are tbe two forks of Jack
son creek, and prior rights will not
allow their waters to be diverted
from their channels except in old
established ditches having the right
to do so. Many iarge nuggets have
been found oa the flat, varying from
$20 to several hundred dollars.
Some years ago a Chinaman found
one so large he was afraid some
white man would take it away from
him, and bo sawed it in two. A
hydraulic plant on the flat would
be o rich harvest. Mr. Anderson
expects to have to rock out his bed
rock washes.
Houston & Miller, who made a
rich discovery on Brush creek a
short time ago, are now down twenty
seven feet on the vein, which is very
narrow only about four inches
wide, but very rioh. .The ore is
thiokly studded with gold, and the
owners hope and believe the 'vein
will increase in "width as they go
down. There is no doubt but this
rich stringer is in some way con
nected with the fine specimens
which have been picked up near
the place of discovery from time to
time by a number of persons in
years past. It is more than proba
ble, however, that there is a parent
ledge near by from which the dis
covery is only a highly mineralized
'stringer. The' ledge is two miles
northwest of old Steamboat, in a
Bection of country considered to be
highly mineralized.' Wtfrk 'Will be
pushed on the vein as' Jasti'aB' .ihe
partners .can do it.r , , . .

C. A. Hollingsworth, who owna A
placer claim above the Phil Gleave
place, , on Little Applegate, waa
down the last of the week and says
he has done well tbe past season.
He has a peculiar ; bar and creek
claim in that it is almost perfectly
flat. Drainage can only be bad by
cutting small races in: the .bedrock
from the channol nf the creek., The.
ground is riob fent cannot be f work

true that gold is where you ifioid it,
but it seems to be foundralmost all
over this country, -, It , is doubtful
whether the much boomed Alaskan
country can show a more, uniform
distribution of goid than is found
in Southern Oregon". -: ' ?
Terry & Langley, who have been
engaged for some time in developing
two ledges across -Big .Applegate,
opposite the moutb of Squaw creek,
haye . completed their , new three
stamp mill and commenced to crush
this week. They have -75 tona ot
ore on tbe dump' and nre so, ..situ
ated, Mr. Terry says, that they can
keep the mill constantly runnintr.
The ledges have been fairly opened
by running square nils into the
mountain and facing down prepar
atory to solid surfaces for tunneling.
The cuts are run in nn the veins,
and will be carried considerably
further before the : tunnels are
started. The maUpr Jpdpe is nbouf.
20 inches' wide, and a quantity of
ore shipped to Selby Bros., San
Francisco, milled $90 per tori. Tbe
other is 4 feet wide and ' returns
from local mills give the ore a valrjet
of $17 per ton. The contact in
both ledges, which are parallel and
near together, is granite and por
phyry, and the porphyry is more or
less mineralized for a distance of
two feet from the vein in the small
ledee, and some of it will pay well
for crushing. The ledges have ain
inclination together And will ne
doubt unite and form one ledge)
lower down. Tbe mill 'is only a
short distance from the ledges and
will be run by water power from
Squaw creek, and the power will be
ample during the whole season.
The vein matter in general is a blue,
coarse and porous quartz resembling
that from Sardine creek. Mr. Terry
thinks they have a first-class work
ing proposition and they propsse to
work it for all it is worth.

of Cedarville, O., passed a resolu
tion prohibiting the ordination of
