It is rumored that the minec
at Ash wood, in the northeastern
end of this county, are to "be.,
reopened some time in the near.
future and that active operation
of the mines on a large scale
will be .attempted. The two.
principal mining properties in
that camp are the p.regon King
and the Red Jaoket. The for
mer has been in litigation fo
five or six years and patent for.
the property has just been se
cured. Considerable develop-,
ment work has been done on
rbis property, the main shaft
reaching a depth of about $Q((4
feet, with drifts and cross-cuts
aggregating more than double.
that amount ot underground
work. Large bodies of ore have.
been uncovered, and a large.
"dump1' of ore near the month,
of the shaft, containing many
thousands of tons of ore. ia
said to possess valu.es averaging-
more than 2Q to thp ton.
Streaks of very riph ore were.
encountered, in sinking the.
shaft, and several carloads of-
ihis rich ore were sorted.
sacked and shipped to Tacomat
Washington, to be treated. It
is estimated that the cost of
shipping and treating the ore.
was in excess of $25 per ton, and,
yet these ores yielded more
than $100 per ton to the owners
ot the property, after deducting.
expenses. The excessive cost
of shipping the ore is the
greatest obstacle to the devek
opment of this property, as only
the richest ores can stand thd
expense. With proper trans?
portation facilities it is believed
that the Oregon King would
prove to be one of the biggest
mining propositions in the.
West,
The Red Jaoket property haa
also done considerable develon
ment wcrk, but it is a company
of small stockholders and it has
been hampered by lack of funds.
It is reported that this company
has now made arrancrementH fn
sufficient funds to do a large
amount of development work,

once. Sufficient work has
already been done upon this
property to nnonvot. 1.,
