1l The miner is again a. factor in
the material proicreaa of Southern
Oregron. The prospector, with his pe
cullar glint of rye and bulging pock
eta. Is often seen on the streets of
Medford and Ashland, where he cornea
for supplies or In search of financial
tcklnir in the promulgation of his
projects. But boding: more towards the
development of the mineral wealth of
the region than the presence of the
prospector, who has always been eome-
, what In evidence in Southern Oregon.
. the Eastern capitalist has become In
terested. Mining promoters whlper the
names of noted mining men who are
backing them in development of their
properties. R. Y Towne and other
New Tork api tiUlrtt have invested a
million dollars in the Improvement of
the Blue l.edge copper mine, situated
' JS miles from Medford. Aa soon as
'Hill builds his proposed railroad lines
to tap the different districts, large
, quantities of KaMern money will un
doubtedly be spent In the development
of other properties as well.
The Initiated know that Southern
Oregon and the tributary district of
'Northern California have had a mln
lng History. Men are ret alive who
, witnessed and took part In the mad
struggle for gold which ensued In the
'60s. The Tact that on New Tear's day.
1SJ1. the population of the Rogue River
Valley numbered 28. and four months
later totaled 1000. bears eloquent tes
ttraonjr of the genuineness of the gold
rush la Southern Oregon. That 130.
OoO.OOO of gold was sent out of Jack
on County between 1S51 and 18S3 tes
tlfles that the gold discovery In South
ern Oregon was no false Eldorado.
The mining of gold wm a tVemen
dous factor In the rapid settlement and
development of Southern Oregon. Pre
vlous to 1&3 trappers on fur-hunt-Ing
expeditions and groups of travelers
passing between California and South'
ern Oregon brought talea to the set
tlements of the meadows where grass
grew as high as a mule'e back, of the
seeming fertility of soil, and of the
uperb climate. But the fear of the
thieving Rogue Klver. Shasta and
Klamath Indians, with their occasional
massacre of the unwary traveler, struck
terror Into the hearts of the Immi
grants and caused them to choose
homes in the safer precinct of the
Willamette Valley.
-In the Spring of 1SJ1 there were
only three habitations of white men
la the Rogue River Valley. These were
t Perkins'. Long's and Evans' ferries
en tbe Rogue River Perkins' ferry be
ing near the present site of Grants Pass.
Ja tbe Summer of 'il Governor Gaines,
.roused to action by the reports of nu
merous murders and robberies com
tnltted by tbe Southern Oregon Indians,
obtained Federal aid in punishing them,
fnlted States soldiers and volunteers
waged a short but effective campaign
against the Rogue River chiefs known
mm Sam and Joe. In Midsummer, fol
lowing the campaign, a treaty was
Jnwn. after which a few men took np
donation claims In the region. The
first to arrive was Judge A. A. Skin
Bar, who had been appointed Indian
" root. Fie took a claim near Table
Rock. The Rogue River Valley, how
ever, was too Isolated to Invite settle
ment for agricultural purposes. It ne
cessitated the call of gold to attract
white men. Into this dangerous and
lonely valley.
The discoverers of gold In Southern
Oregon were James Cluggage and
Poole. During the Winter of 1851-52
they had driven their string of mules
up Jackson Creek to fatten and condi
tion them for packing In the Spring.
These men chose Jackson Creek for
their pasture-ground because It was
off the beaten trail. At this time Call
fornlans from Yreka were scouring the
country in search of horsethleves, and
It was safer for two men with a string
of mules to be encamped In a secluded
spot, as pursuers were nearly as law
less as pursued. While encamped on
Jackson Creek early In January, 1852.
these men discovered gold shimmering
In the gravel of the creek bottom.
The news of the strike spread rap
Idly to the partly exhausted goldflelds
of Northern California, and hordes of
miners left their dtgglngs-to try their
lurk In New Eldorado. A steady stream
of men poured Into the Rogue River
Valley, and spreading out from Jack
son Creek, scattered throughout the
surrounding hills. The Inrush of peo
pie continued during 1853. In that
year 159 wagons or Immigrants, con
taining 400 men. 120 women and 170
children, and 2600 cattle, came north
from California, and as many more ar
rivea via Northern Oregon. The ma
jority of the arrivals from California
were miners, pure and simple, while
those who came from the Willamette
Valley saw possibilities In agriculture
as well as in mining. Many of the Wil
lamette Valley travelers devoted them
selves wholly to farming, and found
a lucrative market for their wheat and
vegetables among the miners. The men
who hurried from the Callfernla gold-
fields were or all nationalities and of
ten of a lawless sort.
After the first discovery of gold, for
tunes were accumulated rapidly. Among
the lucky ones was James Skinner,
nephew of .Judge A. A. Skinner, who
mined a fortune within a week. "Old
Man" Shlvely was another fortunate
one. He gathered 160.000 worth of gold
nusi ana leu tor civilisation, heavily
rami, aeterminea to defend the for
tune which he had acquired after a
long lire of prospecting.
Rich strikes were reported on nr
hand. One hundred men were soon at
work with rockers at Big Bar. Gravel.
rich In gold, was found at the Cam
eron place on the Applegate. Forest
Creek and Toots Creek were other dis
tricts where heavy .producing placers
were soon being worked.
The best evidence as to the amonnt
of gold actually given up by mother
earth Is that furnished by C C Beek
man, pioneer banker of Southern Ore
gon, who operated an express business
between Yreka and Jacksonville dur
ing the early days. He carried $10,
000.000 worth of gold dust out of Jack.
son County between 185C and 1860, he
believes, and an equal amount found
other ways of exit.
' 1855 came Jackson County's maximum
gold prosperity. That year It was said
that gold dust to the value of $3,000,
000 was mined. At that time Jackson
County was the wealthiest and the most
populous In Oregon, Multnomah County
included.
Jacksonville, whose essential claims
upon life today are the rugged beauty
of Its scenery and that It Is the county
seat, was then in the height of Its pros
perity, with multitudinous saloons and
gambling dens galore.
Of the $30,000,000 mined in Jackson
County between 1S51 and 1S84 only
$500,000 was produced by quarts mines.
Occasionally' pockets of gold contained
In decomposed, quarts had been found
on the surface of the ground, but pre
vious to the breaking out of the quarts
mining fever In California In 1B the
Jackson , County miners hadTiot ex
plored quarts leads under ground. The
Hicks lead on the left fork of Jackson
Creek was the first quartz lead suc
cessfully prospected. Sonora Hicks and
hei brother discovered a rich pocket
in this lead and. according to the seem
ing sensational news columns of the
Jacksonville Sentinel, took out $1000 in
gold In two hours. The total yield of
this, the first quartz mine operated in
Southern Oregon, totaled $2000, only
one small pocket of gold being found.
In January, 1860, "Emigrant" Graham
discovered the Gold Hill lode, which
was the first Important quartz gold
discovery. The float rock on the sur
face yielded astounding returns to Gra
ham and his associates. The strike was
the signal for a new outburst of min
ing enthusiasm. The surrounding hills
were quickly staked out and the out
lying districts teemed with prospect
ors. Jacksonville, which of late years
had not been so lively, prepared for tbe
reversal of happy and prosperous times.
Two mule-power arastras were placed
on the original claim and armed men
guarded while they were operated. It
Is said that every Saturday night a
cleanup of 1000 ounces of gold was di
vided among the five owners. Henry
Kl'ppel, known as the father of quartz
mining In Southern Oregon, bought an
Interest In the mine. Kllppel, In com
pany with McLaughlin and Williams,
finally sent to San Francisco for a 12
stamp steam mill, taking a contract to
work the quartz for $8 a ton. The ma
chinery, including boiler and mortars,
was shipped to Scottshurg and thence
carried by pack train to Gold Hill. The
freight charges on the mill amounted
to $2600.
With this, this first steam stamp mill
of Southern -Oregon, in operation, the
owners felt that fortune would smile
upon them Indeed. One hundred tons
of refuse quartz, which had been con
sidered too poor for the arastras, were
first run through the mill, yielding $100
to the ton, but here the good luck ended.
The next body of ore to be worked
yielded $3 a ton. 'and the next $2.80.
When all hope of success at the Gold
Hill quartz mines was finally abandoned
by the owners of the mill the machin
ery waa converted into a sawmill on
Big Butte Creek. Henry Kllppel esti
mated that the total output was $150,-
perlod. The gold waa too scattered in
pockets and methods were too primi
tive then to give lasting success to
quarts mining, and It was abandoned for
a number of years.
Of late, renewed Interest, however,
haa been taken In quarts mining. There
j are 12 quartz mines now In operation
I or in stages of development In the dis
! trlct. embracing Southern Oregon and
: Northern California.
That many of the miners who rushed
Into Jackson County In the early '50s
amassed fortunes the amount of gold
a harvest as truly golden fa ?:s;cr min
ing.
- At present the Rogue River Canal
Company Is preparing to build 200 miles
of ditches from the headwaters of Bis
Butte Creek. The water is for Irrlga
tlonal purposes, but there is no cause
to prevent some of the flow from being
used in mining, as the highest ditch
will run well back Into the hills where
the placers are situated.
The heaviest producer of the hydraul

side give evidence. As the supply of water for two and three giants nine
roM which could be mined according inonuio in i. uuuo ..uto
to the primitive methods of the day
gave out. most of the. miners went to
other fields. The discovery of gold In
Idaho caused a large exodus of miners
from the valley. Although their absence
was felt keenly for a time by the farm
ers and tradesmen, whose customers
they had been, the cattlemen, who with
their herds inhabited the grassy plains
of Klamath County, soon took the place
of the miners who had departed and
the stagnation due to oversupplled mar
ket was relieved.
One race of foreigners -which pros
pered where white men failed was the
Chinese. Chinamen swarmed into the
county, taking possession of the worn
out placers. By 1859 the yellow face
of the Mongolian was everywhere In
evidence. They were peaceful and law
abiding, but notwithstanding the usual
racial prejudice sprang up among the
disaffected miners. It was charged that
the Chinamen were mining American
gold and taking it to the Flowery King
dom. As the Celestials were law-abiding
and absolutely refused to quarrel,
there was no pretext for exterminating
them or driving them from the country.
as there was In the case of the redskins.
700 acres of deep red clay gravel deposit.
There are many signs of awakening
Interest In mining throughout the
Coast. California for the first time
since 1897, has gained first place from
Colorado as the foremost gold produc
ing state In the Union. The Increased
production of gold In California has
been due to the development of dredge
mining. Operations of this character
are being started on Fool's Creek In
the northern part of Jackson County.
The possibilities of dredge mining In
Southern Oregon where many streams .
with rich channels abound are Just now
beginning to be Investigated.
As a reaction from concentration of
energy upon the exploitation of Ore
gon's horticulture possibilities great
effort Is now being made toward the
advertisement and development of Ore
gon's mineral wealth. Sumpter, this
year held Its first mining congress
representative mining men coming
from all parts of the district which
extends Into Idaho. A meeting of min
ers of the Southern Oregon and North
ern California districts has been called
at Ashland for January 17. This get-
field of enterprise, and few Chinese are I being opened on Evans Creek. A large
seen today In the Rogue River Valley.
- Placer mining In Southern Oregon has
gone through much the same stages as
In California. First the Mexican batea,
or an ordinary cone-shaped pan, was
used by the miners. Then the rocker
or cradle came into use. , Sfter this
came the torn, an apparatus with cross
riffles which permitted, the play of a
continual stream of water. Then sluice
boxes were built across the claims
where there was sufficient water. By
this method miners could shovel gold
bearing gravel into running water from
both sides. The gold in the gravel was
caught on the quicksilver plates at the
riffles.
After the sluice-box, the hydraulic
method was Inaugurated. Water was
conveyed .through pipes to the work
ings at a high pressure and played upon
the gold-bearing gravels. A whole hill
side can be washed Into sluice-boxes
and the gold saved by this method.
The greatest handicap to hydraulic
mining in Southern Oregon has bnthe
scarcity or water. Most oi tne mines
can only be worked during the rainy
season, as the majority of the smaller
streams dry up In the Summer. Pro
jects have been proposed several times
to bring water 60 or 70 miles to the
mines from one or other of the large
streams, but as yet none of them has
materialized.
The Jacksonville Sentinel. In 1859, re
ferred to the possibilities of hydraulic
power contained in the opening of ar
tesian wells. The paper went on to
show that the Kogue Klver made the
proper bend at a high altitude and that
the lower stratas ot ground were of the
proper gravelly nature to Insure the
presence of these artesian wells. How
ever, only two artesian wells have been
found. These are in the Talent orchard,
where their limited flow of sparkling
aqua Is used In stimulating the growth
of the celebrated Rogue River Valley
apples and pears, which In 'irn bring
body of coal has been found within five
miles of Medford and is being sold for
fuel. The coal will be of special value
as fuel for the smelters of the Blue
Ledge copper mines when railroad com
munlcatlons are built. Undeveloped
deposits of lead, salt, coal and lime
stone exist in this region. Limestone
for years was burned In kilns situated
on Jackson Creek.
Marble and granite quarries are being
operated at Tolo and near Medford. The
crushers at Tolo are able to turn out
60 carloads of crushed granite for use
on road 8 every day when In full opera
tlon. This plant Is equipped with air
compressors, air drills and grinding
and polishing machinery to furnish
granite for building purposes and mon
umental work. Electric power gener
ated at Gold Ray dam, on the Rogue
River, Is used In this quarry.
The tremendous water power now
running unharnessed In the Rogue Riv
er, Big Butte Creak and other smaller
streams will furnish all the power
needed for the development of mining
and quarrying for centuries to come.
The mineral springs which are found
scattered through Southern Oregon are
another natural resource furnished by
nature. Extensive bottling works are
being operated at Wagnor, Coalstone
and Shasta Springs.
That the mining industry of Southern
Oregon will soon come !no Its own, not
even a pessimist can aeny. ine min
ers1 wealth which has heretofore lain
secluded In the mountains will soon be
reached by railroads. Then the cap!
tallstic machinery and advanced mining
mothods which have revolutionized
mining will be given a chance.
There Is no rational ground for be
Heving that the miners of the '50s could
hfive uncovered so much treasure as
they did and not leave untold wealth
which their primitive methods and tools
could not reach
