Southern Oregon Mines. A correspondent writing to tho Bul letin from 8am’s Valley, under date of Mareh 27, says: Prospecting and locating cinnabar claims arc yet the order of the day in this vicinity. The field of operation seems to have drifted from the north side of Evans Creek to the south. Neither homesteads or entered lands escape the scrutiny of these experts. This mineral has been discovered on several homesteads and also several pieces of entered lar d, which has giv en occasion for the exchange of some pretty rough compliments between parties of such a nature as to give of fense to any one but the good humor ed prospector, who seems to have more interest in the application of the pick than the inultiplicalion of idle words. Some of the most learned of these expefts seem to think that^the mineral discoveries on these lands is will endanger the title, while the owners think the reverse. ’Hence some very spirited arguments between contending parties. The richest of these discoveries is on the homestead of ’Squire Griffin, the most flattering yet discovered, with one exception. Houston & Co., are sinking a shaft on their claim, and the ore is getting better as they go down. Hodges is also operating,, with a very material change in his ore for the better. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, Cooling & Co. have not got fairly under headway with their ma chinery, although they made an ex periment with a small lot of their ore a few days ago. They got two pounds of quicksilver, which demonstrates the fact that they will be handsomely rewarded while developing their claim. One of the Jacksonville exchanges says: Messrs. Henry Klippel and C. C. Beekman this week returned from a visit to the Elizabeth quartz ledge, having witnessed the first cleaning up of the new mill lately put up there 93 tons of quartz have been crushed, which averaged over $15 a ton. This is a good yield, considering that con siderable of the quartz .^as bedrock, and the difficulty of getting the. ma chinery in working order owing to the cold. The company feel encour- ag^J enough to keep ten men con stantly employed, and are sanguine of, the ledge paying even better than this.
