Southwestern Oregon.
From the Holt County Press,
published at Oregon, Missouri, we
take the following extracts from an
cuticle written for that paper by
Adam Klippel. Mr. K. visited this
valley last year, and having bes
come favoraby impressed with our
climate and resources, intends re.
turning ere long to make his per
manent residence in this county:
The Rogue river country in
Southern Oregon, extending 150
miles from the foot of the Gascades
range of mountains to the Pacific
Ocean, is now being extensively
"prospected,-' with varying results,
for the precious metals. The most
recent gold and quicksilver discov
eries have been made in the border
counties of Jackson, Josephine and
Curry.
Tho mining season which com
menced in October, 1877, and closed
in July 1878 has been .one of un
usual prosperity, especially in the
so-called "placer" or gravel dig-
gins, and miners generally are en
joying, better times now tnan tney
have for many years past.
Three methods of gold mining
are in vogue in Oregon, namely:
Surface placer mining, hydraulic
placer mining, and quartz mining.
The first is a very laborious method
continuing only as long as the wa
ter last in the gulches during the
rainy months, and where the pick
and shovel play a conspicuous part.
Sbcces3 in this class of mining de
pends greatly upon a man's muscle
and his ability of picking and.shov
eling "pay dirt" into a sluice box.
In Jackson and Josephine counties
considerable of this kind of mining
is being done. The area of surface
upon which mining claims are loca
ted and worked will not exceed
5,000 acres. But surface mining is
rapidly giving way to the hydraulic
process. What is called hydraulic
mining is the turning ot a stream of
water eight or twelve inches in di
ameter through a nozzle under a
pressufeof 8Q0 vertical feet against
a bank of clay- and gravel, and
washing it away. This process aci
compliehes results that it would
take thousand of men to perform.
Six large hydraulic mining compat
nies have constructed at great ex?
pense ditches for carrying tho wa
ter, have been at work this season
and aro taking out large quantities
of gold.
As miners aro exceedingly rfti.
ccnt about the yield of their mines,
statisticiansfiud it difficult to get at
the exact amouut of gold taken out.
It is custom of the large hydraulic
mining companies to 6end their gold
dust directly to the IT. S. mint at
San Frnucisco for coinage. Tho
surfaceNminers however, take it to
Jacksonville, and sell it to the
stores. One individual, Mr. C. C.
Beekman, has for himself aud the
expross company, handled over ten
million dollars worth of gold dust
since he has gone in the business
some twenty years Ho is of the
opinion that at least as much has
passed through other hands during
that time. The average yield of
gold of the district of which the
town of Jacksonville is the center,
heretofore has undoubtedly been
from 800,000 to ono million dol
lers per annum. And when tho re
ally small amount of ground worked
is considered an approximation of
the probable future yield of gold in
Southern Oregon would seem fabiv
lous and incredible. Hydraulic
mining is proving successful where;
ever sufficient water can be obtain
ed, and it seem3 as if mining in
that end of the State, had only just
began.
Last fall and winter Messrs. Klip.;
pel, Hanna & Co. of Jackson vi He,
assisted by Messrs. Bellinger, Thay..
er, Hnwthorno and Kelly of Port,
and, Oregon, built a ditch in the
Applegate country that has a carry
ing capacity of between 1200 to 1,5.
00 miners inches. The ditch is elev,.
en miles and fortjvfour rods long,
and receives its supply of water out
ot tho two Squaw Lakes. These
lakes aro situated in the Stskiyou
range of mountains -and-have-an el
evation above the level of tho sea
of aomo 8,800 feet. The com'
struction oftlio ditch, the raising
of both the lakes by powerful bulki
heads, (the upper lake being fonrs
xteen feet and tho lower sixteen),
the purchase of over a thousand
feet of 22,-inch iron piping, and
putting the mines which aro loca
ted on tho east bank of Applegate
river in Working order, necessitated
an outlay of not less than 80,000
Tho lakes answer as immense
natural reservoirs, are each a mile
long and a half a mile wide,
and furnish an abundaut supply of
water and enable this company to
continue their gold washing when
nearly all other mines have suspend
ed operations for want of water.
On the first of July the company
commenced washing away at its
banks of gravel and claynt tho rate
of one thousand cubic yards per
day, continuing day and night,' with
but slight intermission ver since.
It Is tho intention of the company
to run three months before a thor
oagh "clean-up" will be made
Early in August a few feet of the
flume were cleaned up, which proved
entirely satisfactory to every mem
ber of the company, and warrant the
belief that the enterprise will pay.
Since tho commencement of this
Squaw Lake mining enterpise, fh's
attention of capitalists as well as
practical miners has been drawn
toward the gravel deposits upon
Applegate river, and several parties
aro busily engaged in developing
claims upon the banks of that
stream. Largo-deposits of paying
gravel lino either bank of Apple
gate from near its head to its mouth,
and it is a source of surprise to
those visiting that stream for the
first time to find such inexhaus
tible fields of gravel lying there
entirely unprospected. A joint
stock company, of which judgo
"W. R. Willis, ofRoseburg. Oregon,
is the head, has been formod and.
incorporated with a capital of 500,
000, who propose to carry on placer
mining on a gigantic scale on the
"West bank of Applegater- litmus
brought up all the water lights,
claim and improvements of indi
vidual minors in the neighborhood,
this company proposes to construct
a ditch of a carrying capacity of six
to ten thousand inches, taking the
water out of tho main Applegate
near the mouth of Elliot creek, aud
carrying it down the large gravel
deposits lying below that point. It
will-require a large outlay of mon
cy in the first instance, but it is ro
garled as a safe investment
