This prop erty is making a remarkably good showing, especially in consideration of the extreme dryness of tbe winter. The present energies of the company are directed towards the completion of the big ilumo which will open the bod of (Jallce creek. Some very handsome specimens of copper ore were received at the min ing exhibit this week from the Little U ray back copper mines owned by W. L. Brobock of Althouse and located on Gray back mountain near the head waters of Deer creok. The ore carries copper at the rate of 17 per cent and 3 per ton in gold. The ledge shows a width of fifteen feet and upwards, The property Is under development and has the most favoi able indications for becoming a valuable and produc tive mine when fully opeued up and equipped. The Gulden Drift Mining Co., com pleted the laying of their pipe lino last week and ou Monday a trial run was made with one giant operated under the foice generated by the big pump. The test was very satisfactory and the work of the pump was of charactor to indicate it has all the power and capacity claimed for it by the manufacturers. At the present place of worklug the water is lifted about 150 feet above the river and then has a drop of abuut fifty feet to the giants. The lifting capacity of tbe pump gives abundant pressure. Sev eral days will be consumed in trial runa and in testing and adjusting various portions of the. machinery be fore the mine will settle down to steady operation. Four giants will be used. The completion of this plant marks .the consummation of one of the biggest placer enterprises ever attempted in Southern Oregon. A railroad to the Blue Ledge Cop property, on uppor Applegate, is again being talked of, and the prop erty la being investigated and exam ined with a view to a purchase, by Spokane parties. The railroad would have an easy grade up the Applegate, a distance' of about thlrty-flve miles from Jacksonville to the property and Its construction will be beguu at an early day if the sale is consummated. The proporty is at present owned largoly by Spokane parties with Dr. J. F. Reddy, of Med ford, as manager. Dr. Roddy has been eugaged in tbe work of development very steadily ever since the bond, taken ou it by Patrick Jlark and others some two years ago, was surrendered. The partios who aro examining the miue with a view to baying it, aro old and experienced miners . who have beeu hero iii all the new st.ylos those having the care of DEUEL eugaged in the development of some of I the oldest copper properties in tbe west. The Blue Ledge group is cora posd of snme 350 locations or claims. American Apples In England. from TJ. 8. Crop Keportor. , Some Interesting information rela tive to Ameroian apples in England appears In a report made by United States Consul Albert W. Swalm, of Southampton, England, dated January 25, 1005. He states that the reports from the local markets as to the con dltion of the pack of American apples put on the English market are exceed I lugly creditable to the packers, and tbat it is eelpom that the standard va- fif. lnn nnnnlnx 1 n tha F.nrflloh murlrot have turned out: so much in favor and to the taste of the buyers, the fruit being of tbatjllrm mold and solid condition generally required in tbe English market. lu 1903 the enormous amount of 11,- 000,000 bushels of American and Ca nadian apples were sold in the English market, and from present appearances tbat record will bo nearly if not quite equaled from the crop of 190i, He quotes from an English authority, who says: "The American fruit grow er knows how to attract the purchaser by uniformity in size and quality in a way which English growers have hardly begun to learn. And so, In the big towns, the English product hardly finds one purchaser at four cents a pound, where the American fruit finds ten at double the price." (Chances are tbe apples mentioued are Oregon apples. Ed.) W. C. T. U. Items.
