OREC - ON, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1900
MINES, MINERS AND
OF SOUTHERN OREGON.
(Written exclusively for The Mail by a reliable representative.)
. , A direct report from the Copper
Stain, ou Mt. Reuben, is to ,the ef
fect tbat development,, work, la be
ing pushed on the mine m fast as a
force of twelve men can do it.' The
showing bo far is moet encouraging
and no time will be lost in proving
the value of the property, , ,; 1
0. W. Thompson, ioperinteudent
of the Victor, Jr. mine, haa, re
turned, from San F;anoiacp, where
be went to buy five additional
atampi for the mill which has. been
in operation at the -mine for some
time. The mill building is -being
enlarged preparatory to putting in
the extra stamps, which will be
done at once.
The dredge at Waldo baa experi
enced a number of delays during
the season from, breakages. ' The
ground is unusually hard and there
are many boulders to contend with,
and, though the machinery is heavy
it has not seemed to be sufficiently
strong to. do the work required of it;
yet the company has .lifted and
sluiced off a large amount of ground '
There has been no report, so far as
The Mail has learned, of any
clean-up yet.
The report of the yield of sixteen
and one-half tons of ore crushed at
the Kubli Gold Standard mine last
week, as stated by K. Kubli to The
Mail, gave the amount as a few
cents more than $1536. , The report
from the Selby smelting works, of
San Francisco, shown to us Satur
day, givis the true amount as
91576, forty dollars more than re
ported by Mr. Kubli. The quality
of the gold as represented by the
certiBcate is very fine. This is cer
tainly a high average for eucn a
considerable quantity of ore.
Simmons & Cameron, . of the
Waldo hydraulic property, have
oleaned up this years run, but the
usual reticence of the company has
been observed, and it has been im
possible to get any figures as to the
amount taken out. The season s
work, as gleaned from Mr. Cameron,
has been largely preparatory,' that
is, preliminary to a new opening to
reach certain ground the company
is anxious to work. While- this
year's output has been all the com
pany expeo'ed it will probably be
more'1 than ' . duplicated " next, 'ear
when better ground is reached. .
- -
'' Al. Sturgis, of the, Forest creek
hydrauho mine, was in" the' valley
the' first, of .the ' weelr,'. looking for
ha,nds to, help qiean;up. ,.'(,He, .wants
quite a number and : will, pay good
wages.'" He said he had -not been
able to find anyone who- had not
already something to do, and that
he bad not heard a calamity yap in
the whole rounds. He is for.Mo
Kinley and Roosnelt,. and believes
in prosperity and the Sturgis mine.
Al. saye it will take him a-hundred
years to work the claim out but
that he has decided to 'retire from'
business belore that time.. ,. He savs
his net margin will not be Icbb than
$1,000 this year. It will take 25 or
80 years to reaoh his best, ground
with a suitable opening.. .This is
the kind of property that pays.
Venable, Gangwisch. & O'Neil,
who have been developing a ledco
near the mouth of Palmer creek,
and " have " been ' engaged several
months in running a long tunnel to
strike the vein at a lower "level,
made the contact a f w days ago
and will now do a lot of stoping be
fore going down further. When
sufficient quantity of ore is on the
NO. 28. I
MINING
dump to insure the operation of the
mill for a reasonable time it will
be put up and set to work crushing.
The milj; a five-stamp, has already
been botignt, and only awaits sbip
ment qnd, setting up. The vein has
no uniformity ;; of width. ' Il is
"wavy ", or serpeptinein appearance,
and the ore is alternately rich', high
grade and medium, but all free
milling..! Gold is plainly seen in
much of the ore, which will run in
to the hundreds per tpnT The aver
age, however, Mr. Gangwisch thinks,
will not be far . from , $60, per ton.
Stoping will be pushed and the ore
taken out as fast as possible.
Bert Hainey, of the Star Gulch
Mining Co.; of ShurtlefL 4 Hainey,
has bought out Mr, Shurtleff, and
now owns two-thirds of the property,
consisting oi the plan and 400
acres of. mining ground., ince Mr.
Hainey took, bom ol tne property,
aeyeral months ago, he piped back
from the present channel and dis
covered an old. channel running
parallel with , the new, and it is in
this old channel where he found the
rich pay and large .nuggets. Dur
ing the season he has picked up a
large amount of money in pieces
varying in size from 50 cents to $20.
The largest nugget found weighed
$17? 25, and . the second largest'.
$118.25. Mr. Haiuey would hardly
give a man a nickel to' insure him a
fortune, so certain is he of the rich
ness of the old channel he has d is
oovered. He is confident .from tht
trend of the t-hahnel that it rims
purallel with the new fur a long dis
tance, and if it should, there is no
question but Mr. Hainey will take
out a large amount of money. Iii
friends wish him the fullest measure
of success in his enterprise. .,
, The Hampton & Lewis hydraulic
claim, on Tommy's gulch, a tribu
tary of Grave creek , has a character
peculiarly its own. The company
has a large amount of ground and
baa built two very large ditches iu
order to have a supply of water
equal to the work to be done.: The
situation is. eucn tne company is
obliged to use an elevator. . From
four to six giants are used under a
pressure of 350, to . 400 feet, and
under this heavy pressure and great
volume of water the gravel is forced
1T the: chute from forty ! to sixty
met to secure fall and dump. . !Jaa.
Frayoef, from ; whom these facts
were obtained, and who has been
working for the;, company for . the
past, six months, says the elevator
works, perfectly and; that the pres
sure is suffioient to force great boul
ders up the chute that three men
could not lift. '. The machinery has
woraea periecuy aunng tne season
and a large amount' of bedrock has
been uncovered.! Mr. Frayne thinks
the olean-u'p will be large. A force
of forty, to sixty men is employed.
The 'company is. a strong' one, , and
the property is regarded as im
mensely valuable. Last '. year the
gravel was successfully elevated
sixty feet.'LThia jfooka incredible,
but there is hardly, a limit to the
power' of water'finder pressure."

F. H. Osgood, president apd man
ager of the Seattle & Renton rail-
roaa, ana a noiaer oi. large mining
and other ' property interests, in
Southern Oregorj, wasjnthe valley
the last of the. week Jookinff after
bis business. , It: i8,rttaoredotbat
he- has in. contemplation :other,i and
further investments of permanent
and saluable oharacUr which will
be definitely detormined upon later.
Mr. Osgood is a maiVof almoat un
limited means, and baa been most
favorably impressed with Southern
Oregon from bis first visit berp, .
F. M. Wade, superintendent of
the Grand Applegate Company, was) .
down from the mine the last of, the
week, and informed The Mail, that
piping had been continued steadily
since the start and would probably
be continued all summer, as there
would be . an , abundant, supply of
water during the whole eeason.; , Ho
said he was getting a good working ,
face on the opening and would be
able to sluice off a lrge amount of
ground during : theM(snnqmer. A
nothing has been done in, the way
of testing the, ground-piped over,
Mr: Wade is unable to' form any
opinion as to probable resolts.' . Since
this is the best water - privilege in
the county, and may t be extended
indefinitely down -Applegate so as
to cover an immense-body. of min
ing land, it ought to be one of the
best, as it is certainly' one of the
most permanentproperties in South
ern Oregon. ' Good accounts will be
beard from - this ' mine under its
present management.' '
Kubli Bros, have just completed
a run of 164 tons of ore at the Gold
Standard which yielded the hand'
some sum of $1,536 This' speaka
for itself and makes any wordy
comment unnecessary. r That this)
is a valuable property cannot' be
denied.. Work wjlFb "pushed un
til the ledge and stringer corue to
gether when, it is expected, a fich
bed, of ore will' be found. The
brothers are much elated at the
showing,, as, well (theymay be.
