OCHOCO GOLD MINE
TO BE DEVELOPED
Twenty-eight miles east of Prlne- .
ville, situated in the Blue mountains,
are the Mayflower gold mines, which. .
represent a vast amount ot wealth
yet to be developed.
The Mayflower group, include
several shafts which have been op
erated with good results for a num.
ber of years.
About four weeks ago, an entirely
new tunnel was opened up on the
premises. It is called the Blue Buck
et Mine, and promises to be one of
the richest and best lodes ever dis
covered in that locality. The ore
from this particular- lode, assayed
$14.00 a ton, and the minerals ex
tracted are gold, silver, and manga
nese ot iron. Operations will he
ued on this new Bhaft in the
near future. '
. New machinery, including an air
compressor, has recently been in
stalled, and will enable a greater
output. Extensive operations will
probably be started soon, and a three
compartment shaft is now being con
templated. One of the larger tunnels which is
1400 feet in length, has been oper
ated for a number of years with good
returns.
Indications show' that there is a
rich vein of ore yet undiscovered,
and all engineers who have made in
vestigations say that it is of a great
depth.
The products which have thus far
been extracted are of a high quality,
and are chiefly hydrate ore, although
there is a considerable amount of
concentrate ore milled.
The chief mineral is gold, although,
silver and manganese of iron are
also found.
