Mining of rich base ore iu the
properties of the Cosmos Investment
company in the Bohemia district is
going on all the time, according to
officials of the Seattle company
who made a trip last week to their
holdings, driving the first auto­
bile ever to reach the top of the
mountain over the route taken. The
company has a 50-ton concentrator
at work. Recent tests from the 18-
foot ore body show a valuation of
$20 to the ton in gold and silver.
The company, in cooperation with
two or three other companies oper­
ating in the district, is now en­
deavoring to obtain the improve­
ment of about 10 miles of county
road so they will be able to ship
their ores to the smelters. The Cos­
mos company has built und main­
tained a good road several miles in
length, but the county road is in
very bad condition, they said, and
improvements will have to be made
before ore can be shipped. Disston
is the nearest shipping point.
This company now Ims a 600-foot
tunnel with a 250-foot cross-cut
and 450 feet of ore, and another
tunnel 288 feet long with a cross­
cut at a depth of 60 feet with an
18-foot body of ore, according to
members of the company who made
the trip and who are Dr. George
Warner, president; William Jen­
nings, secretary and treasurer; Emil
Carl, vice president, W. D. Conner,
J. A. Anderson, J. L. Atkins and
H. D. Merrill. Alta King, of Eu­
gene, local attorney for the com­
pany, made the trip with them.
