TOTAL CAPACITY 100 TONS As Haul of 25 Miles to Railroad Is Costly Lean Product Heretofore Has Gone on Dump Another Mine to Run Soon.' GRANTS PASS. Or.. Nov. 25. (Spe cial.) Two new concentrating- plants in the Josephine County copper dis trict have been started in operation this week and will add materially to the output. The two mines, the Waldo Copper, in the Illinois "Valley, and the Copper King, on Grave Creek. In the north part of the county, have been shipping ore for some time past, but much of the lower grade ore has been held in the dumps because It would not stand the long haul by wag-on to the railroad for shipment to the smelter. The capacity of each mill is 60 tons a day. The Waldo has been shipping its best ore to the smelter at Tacoma, hauling by wagon 15 miles to fhe rail road at Waters Creek. Inability to get cars for shipment from Waters Creek has caused a congestion of or en and lumber there, but hauling will con tinue as long as the condition of the roads will permit. The roads are now as good as they have been at any time during the season, and indications are that the mines will make a record run before shipping ceases.. The concen trates will be brought out regardless of thi road condition. The crude ore which ls being shipped runs from 10 to 15 per cent copper, with M to ia a ton in gold.
