Is ilie Auriferous “ Big Blue Lead” ot
’ California tlie Channel of the An­
c i e n t Columbia River?
VYlio Will
Answer?
The following article we take from
the Portland Bulletin of Jan. 13th.
W@ are acquainted with’ the author,
and know that he has. made consid­
erable research and devoted consid­
erable time to the matters whereof
he speaks— the subject is an import
ant one to our miners, and others, so
we give the whole article, hoping we
may receive an-answer for publica­
tion in the D e m o c r a t .
The most striking auriferous de­
posit in Eastern Oregon is the gravel
mixed with boulders, clay and sand,
varying from six to hundreds of
feet in depth, “ in strata di-stih .
guished from one another by differ­
ence in color, in the size of the
boulders and size of particles of
gold.” This is particularly
the
case with the “ gravel lead” in the
bed of the extinct' river in Baker
County, Oregon, which runs in a
southerly course.
The channel of this ancient river
has not been defined as yet, but it
is believed, Ia in informed, that it
runs southerly through this State,
Its course was impeded by upheavals
It is believed that this is the ancient
channel of the Columbia, whose
course was turned by some freak of
nature through the Cascade Range
to the ocean centuries ago. The be­
lief is, that it flowed through to
California, and emptied into the
ocean somewhere north of Mexico.
As this channel of the-ancient riv­
er passes through the auriferous
regions of the Sierras, it is known
as the “ Big Blue River Lead.”
In relation to this subject, the
Overland Monthly, of September,
1868, in an article entitled the,
“ Dead Rivers of ! California,” says:
“ A dead river is a channel formerly
occupied by a running stream, but
now filled up ’with earthy or r.qcky
matter, and is not to ba confounded
with a channel that'is open and re­
mains, dry during tua greater part of
the year because of a lack of, water,
or that has been abandoned by the
stream for a deeper channel else­
where.”
The dead rivers of California, so
far as known, are on the west slope
of the Sierra Npvada, from 500 to
7,000 feet above the level of the sea.
They are auriferous-, and therefore
they have all been sought5“- for and
examined. They have yielded prob­
ably $800,000.000 in all; they have
produced perhaps $8,000,000 annu-
ally.
_
The largest dead river is known as
the “ Big Blue lead.” Its course is
“ south, southeast along the lino of
the summit of the Sierra Nevoda,”
traced about 110 miles. “ Why did
the Big Blue River die and leave
nothing but it-s grave and its gold to
tell the story of its existence and its
.greatness? The main cause must
have been the subsequent raise of
the Sierra Nevada ” The Big Blue
River bed “ was parallel to the Sac­
ramento, and has, to a certain ex­
tents, been succeeded by it: but it
drained a much larger district than
the Sacramento does. The Sacra­
mento does not carry one fourth of
the water which ran in the Big Blue
— perhaps one-tenth. If we could
ascertain that the quantity of rain
had not altered, then we would be
justified in presuming that the Co
iumbia River, which would about
fill the bed of the Big Blue, instead
of turning westward at Walla Walla
originally continued southward, Rn-
tii the lifting up of the Shasta and
Lason, aud the adjacent ridges stop­
ped its course and compelled it to
break through the Cascade Range at
The-Dalles.” Did the ancient Col­
umbia wind its way southward and
deposit its golden sands in the Sier­
ras? Where did these auriferous de­
posits in the Big Blue' River lead
come from? Could they come from
the Snake or the Columbia branches?
Or were they collected from both
and along the entire course of the
ancient Columbia southward? Is^the
Big Blue lead in California the bed
of the ancient Columbia, and the
continuation of the gravel lead of
Baker County, Oregon? If so, is the
gravel lead of Eastern Oregon as
rich as the Big Blue lead in Califor­
nia? and is it rich iri Gold along its
entire length for 600 miles or more?
If so what a rich harvest fo£ future
explorers!
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been expended in California to
develop ibis rich auriferous lead.
Millions of dollars have been taken
from it, and millions more are being
expended preparing machinery to
take out much more. On this end
of that lead (or supposed to be)
great preparations have been made
to work it. A -large canal or ditch
Las been constructed in Baker Coun­
ty. Oregon, to carry water to supply
tLis gravel bed or lead. It was con­
structed at great cost to carry the
water of a river a Hong distance to
this dry, auriferous region, where
water was before partially unknown.
This water is carried along the moun­
tain summit 116 miles, and distrib­
uted to the many busy miners along
its line. This enterprise is a rare
thing for Oregon capital, and a step
in the right direction-. A few more
like it will open to the world the
riches of the placer mines of Eastern
Oregon. Its
projectors
deserve
great credit for their untiring energy
in pushing forward such an enter­
prise, which will not only benefit
themselves, the entire State, but the
thousands to come.
Oregon capitalists do not seem to
have that public spirit which charac­
terize those of California; they stand
still and allow the rich, auriferous
regions in Eastern Oregon to bo con­
trolled and worked by C a lifo rn ia n s,
who monopolize these mines almost
entirely, and the gold, in its crude
state,, is going out of our State fo r
coinage. W hy cannot the m on ied
men of this State rescue this^ g o ld e n
prize from outsiders, and contribute
to make Oregon what she should be,
one o f. the great gold producing
States of the Union? Let us see
what is to be done in the future in
this direction.'

Po'Konetl to D e a th .—A healthylive:
secretes each day about two and a half pounds
of bile, which contains a great amount of
waste material taken from the blood. When
the liver becomes torpid or congested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount of nox­
ious substance, which, therefore, remains to
poison tlie blood aud he conveyed to every
part of tlie system What niust be the con­
dition of the blood-when it is ’receiving and
retaining each day two aud a half pounds of
poison ? Nature t-i ies to work ol this poi­
son through other channels and organs—the
kidneys, lungs, si in, etc.; but these organs
become overtaxed in performing this labor,
iu addition to their natural functions, and
cannot long withstand the pressure, but be­
come variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
centre of all vitality, is unduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood which passes to it
frein the heart, and it fails to perform its
office healthfully, Hence the symptoms of
bile poisoning, which are dullness, head­
ache, incapacity to. .keep the mind on any
subject, impairment o% memory, dizzy,
sleepy, or nervous feeling, gloomy forebod­
ings and irritability of temper. The blood
itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat
upon the surface of the skin, is so irritating
and poisonous that itp rod u ces discolored
brown spots, pimples, blotches and other
eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrof­
ulous tumors. The stomach, bowels, and
other organs spoken of, cannot escape be­
coming affected, sooner or later, and costive­
ness, pile», dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, fe­
male weakness, and many other forms of
chronic disease, are among the necessary
results. As a remedy for ail these mani­
festations of disease, Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Médical Discovery with small daily doses of
his Pleasant Purgative Pellets are* 'positive­
ly ’uueaqualled. By them the liver and stom­
ach are changed to an active and healthy
state, the appetite regulated and restored,
the blood and secretions thoroughly puri­
fied and enriched, and the whole system re­
novated and built up anew. Sold by all
