These six mines are those of the Baker Mines Co., Cornucopia Mines Co., Homestead-Iron Dyke Co., and the Commercial Mining Co., all in Baker county, and the Bronze Mining Co , in Josephine county. The only placer mine in this group is the Powder River Gold Dredging Co. The larger copper companies of the state,.which are in Baker and Josephine connties, show some increase in output during the year, notwithstanding un favorable conditions. The most pro ductive county in the state in all metals is Baker, which produces nearly 89 per cent of the gold and of rhe total value of all minerals mined. Though less ore has been produced in Oregon during the last two years than in 1917, the averaged value of all minerals mined and treated has increased about 90 cents per ton. The relative rank of the counties in Oregon in the production of gold is as follows: Baker, Grant, Jose phine, Jackson, Crook, Douglas, Uma tilla, Clackamas, Lane, Malheur, Wal lowa, Curry and Wheeler.
