BLUE LEDGE
Mining Man Urges LoGal
Capital to Aid Develop
ment of the Mine
J. W. Cheer, a practical mining man
who has been looking over different
mining propositions in this section, has
returned from a visit of some length
to the Iilno Ledge mine. Tn speaking
of the mine he said:
"After :U years of mining and pros-pi'i-ting
in the west and having boon
in most every camp of uote, I can
truly say that never have T seen a eatnp
wifh such ledges as the Blue Ledge
contains. In fact, the camp is a con
tinuous stratification of ledges, with
dikes of country rock ns a separation
between continuous masses of mineral
bearing rock rightfully designated ns
ledge matter.
"As the camp is yet in its infancy,
little more has been done than to plant
stakes and prospect the ledges in the
soft spots in order to hold on at the
least possible cost in the idea of devel
opment. "This may hold the claim for time
eternal, but in the end it butchers the
claim and reduces it to an unsalable
condition, and as copper lives best in
the hard rock, the harder the hetter for
stability. It requires sound judgment
to gain a good result tor every dollar
that is exended from time to time on
assessments or otherwise.
"I would say to the business men of
this vicinity that they do not know of
the rich reward that lies at their door.
They have all to gain and little to lose
when good judgment is enlisted in a
mining venture, and T repeat that there
aro more failures in mining from the
effects of cold feet than is due to any
other fault. But the business man of
any venture must pave the way to gain
the confidence of capital to invest, and
this cannot be done till you show cap
ital that a prospective mining prospect
contains more than a hole in the ground
surrounded by stakes. A prospector
can do little. It. remains for the mid
dle business man to scrape the surface
as a guide to invest to men with mon
ey .
"What the people of this vicinity
need to do is to get in the Blue Ledge
camp and open up the maney prospects,
so that capital will come and open up
the country in a big way. Capital sel
dom takes hold when the buainesn
of a town will not venture a dollar
to pave the way.
"A lively mining camp is the best
market on earth. A thousaud things
are required ami the transit travel is
a harvest in itself. Can Med ford and
other towns afford to play the lag

the building, which reflects credit upon
the school interests.
Xow that Judge Neil has so kindly
and properly taken the "Geppart cordu
roy bridge in hand and is having it
repaired, we suggest that from Gep-
pcrt up them is not a safe bridge for
several miles. When these bridges are
built the boards should be spiked to
tho side supports and not left to flap
about aad fly up. We expect some
thing done with these defective and
dangerous crossings, ns also tho large
rocks and boulders which encumber the
main highwav. We thank Judge Xeil
nnd the commissioners for their promjft
response to our suggestions.
