SPOKANE OPERATOR
EXAMINES 0PP MINE
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
Jacksonville, Or., Nov. 11. Slnoe the
arrival here of Dr. J. F. Reddy of Spo
kane, In company with P. Clark and
his party, who are examining the Opp
mine, little is learned of the results of
this work. Dr. Roddy's last trip to
Spokane was to enlist more capital In
the work of development, and the Im
pression Is that the splendid showing
made In tl e workings and tbe ease with
which this ore may be milled offer an
opportunity for the Spokane operators
that will be seised. The work new
being done on the Opp Is regarded as
preliminary to the far more extensive
development and milling of tha near
future. Dr. Reddy iian said that the
ore body opened seemed to warrant a
40-stamp or even larger mill, and that
the ten installed would be merely in
the nature of a demonstration. Aa Mr.
Clark Is one of the most extensive of
Spokane's r jmerous operatora, his con
nection with Dr. Reddy in the manage
ment would Insure all funds required
for even the most exhaustive work.
