regular shipments this week to the com

boat
Hi. Russell Is perfecting one or the
bestShydraulIc plants of lower Rogue
river: His ditch line, on which about
tl.ooo has been spent, will be three
miles long and will carry 1.(90 Inches
of water. The sawmill la tiMnanufSP
tore he flume lumber and building ma
terials for the camp. A bead of 226
feet will be given the water used for
hydraulic work. Two streams having
their source in springs which do not
vary at any season, have been tapped.
The property is but 0C feet above sea
level, aad with water rights, will be
able to work tit year round. Timber
abounds everywhere.
"Our company controls 400 acres,"
said Mr. Russell at the Hammond Manu
facturing company office last evening,
before departing. "Of this, 300 acres is
owned absolutely. We have M0 acres
of rlvsr bar placer, through which the
Rogue has worn a channel 75 feet deep,
leaving an admirable dump. We have
an ancient rlvsr channel depoalt there
also, from which is obtained the typical
channel gold. The Rogue bar gold is
remarkably pure and occurs in coarse
flakes which are easily saved. In the
very lowest water season we will be able
to keep four giants in , commission,
which is a strong equipment for what is
usually the closed period of the year."
Mr. Russel Is manager for the Gold
Bgr Mining company, a Minneapolis con
cern. His is the flrst Important hy
draulic equipment so far down the
Rogue, but other work Is assured, for
the district is promising for both placer
and qaurti. and hand operations have
been carried on there for many 'years.
As the Oold Bar management estimates
an outlay of about $25,000 for equip
ment. It is apparent that the smalt
operator would be unable to prepare for
heavy hydraulic operations.
RESULT OF HUNDRED
BEACH SAND ASSAYS
An Interesting fsct relative to the
heach sands on portions pf the Oregon
cOast. was developed by E. C. Morse. In
charge of the Montana Metallurgical
works' of this city, while looking over a
list of about 100 analyses that have been
made by the company. The samples lor
these tests came from some of the beet
known beach properties, snd as they
were brought In by the owners to get
fair results of contents, they may be ac
cepted as typical of the beach general
deposits.
Valuea range from 30 cents to i a
ton. The- percentage of. magnetic Iron
varies from three to seven, although
some of the owners state that their saii'd
has 10 par cent of Iron. Values were
secured as freely from the original sand
delivered here as from a concentrate
product. This demonstrates that the
aand tested will not be Improved by
concentration. Explanation of this fact
Is difficult, t unless It Is conceded that
the gold Is so fine- th.it It floats more
resdlly than siliceous sand, or that it la
contained In the particles of silica. The
sand. -as a rule, will all pass a 30-mesh
screen, (torn, of course, being finer, but
further crushing tried ss sn experiment
did not give better results. In concentra
tion. The fact that water concentration la
not practical, and that the percentage of
Iron runs low. naturally suggests leach
ing as the best saving device, unless 011
concentration is found adapted to the
exceedingly fine gold particles.

IRRIGATION I All
WAGES FIERCELY
Klamath Basin Scene of Contest
Between Government Com
mittee and Private Concern
CANAL COMPANY MAKES
A VIGOROUS CANVASS
Circular of Warning Sent Out
to Residents by Secretary
of Opposition.
(special Wepateh to The I. urnal
Klamath Falls, Or.. Dec. 31. The bat
tle between the government Irrigation
committee and the Klamath Falls Canal
company Is waging mors fiercely. The
canal company is making a house to
house canvass in behalf of their project,
and the government Irrigation commit
tee Is sending out circulars of warning
to the people not to enter Into a contract
wtlh the private company.
J. Scott Taylor, secretory of the Irri
gation committee, has Issued tha fol
lowing Utter for publication:
"In the Republican of December 22
appeared a lengthy article setting forth
the terms upon which the land owners
of Klamath and Poe valleys may require
the proposed irrigation system of the
Klamath Canal Company. The article
accuses -the friends of government irri
gation, who are working to secure it, of
being actuated by persons 1 motives,
even to as great an extent aa the pro
moters of the Klamath Canal company's
project. An attempt Is made to snow up
the advantages to, the people of acquir
ing this system rather than the. One pro
posed by the government.
"The principal points of the discussion
are that the canal company Is making a
better offer to the people than the government-
that It can construct a system
more cheaply snd In a shorter time thsn
It Is possible for the' government to do.
The land owners are urged, to accept the
offer of the canal company because It
has a definite proposition to make, the
acceptance of which can possibly do no
harm. It is urged that the people should
stand by the canal company because It
fas the first In the field. Finally it Is
argued that the purchase of tha system
would be an advantage to the land own
ers, aa the property could at the proper
time be turned over, to the government
and become a part of Its system.
"It Is not the Intention of any of the
members of the committee which favors
government Irrigation and is working to
secure It to enter Into personalities or
compare past records With any of . tha
membersgaf . the canal company. Neither
Is It necessary to defehd the motives
which are actuating the committee and
other citizens of the valley In working
for government Irrigation, for It Is a
public benefit and will bring the grest
est good to the people of this county
that could possibly be conceived of.
Aside from this, the land owners snd
those to be benefited by Irrigation have
the right to judge of the work done by
the commit tee whom they have chosen
to represent them.
"The statement thst the offer of the
canal company Is better than the gov
ernment can give will hardly be taken
seriously by anyone.
'The canal company says It WlH con
struct ths system and turn It over to
the people for a fixed price of lit per
acre, on a nn.nl of BO, 000. for the land Ir
rigated. If this Is a business proposi
tion, the price paid for the system must
1 Include a profit to the promoters of the
enterprise, and Interest upon the -capital
required to do the work. If It Is not
a business proposition, the work cannot
be enrrted on. for private capital Is not
available for enterprises which do not
offer a fair margin of profit: especially
is- this- true In private Irrigation ven
tures, the reason being that 'practically
all of them have heen financial failures.
"The government offers, through the
reclamation service, to construct for. the
people an .adequate system for Irrigation
and drainage, to turn It! over to them
at actual cost of construction, snd to
allow them 10 years In which to pay for
It. without lnereel. This system, when
completed, will Include all the land In
the Klamsth basin susceptible of irri
gation: and the reclamation of large
areas which at the present time are use
less. The work done ny the govern
ment will be of a most substantial char"
actef. and not of a nature to require h
perpetual high maintenance charge, as Is
usually the case with aystenja built for
revenue Snd profits to the promoters.
"The question which confronts the
people of this valley Is not one that
should be answered, or In any way af
fected, by sentiment. It matters not
whether the aanvernment or the Klamath
(Vina I company was flrat In the field;
what the people want Is to get the best
that can be had, end to make the most
out of thalr lands. The government of
fers a proposition, the terms of which
cannot be carried out by any private in
dividual or company without serious
loss. It Is for us to sccept or reject
this offer.
"To accept any other proposition un
der the delusion that water will be got
ten to the Innda more cheaply and In a
ahorter time than can be done by the
government Is simply to delay the work
before us. If he people were the own
ers of the Klamath Canal company's
works It would not be any use to them
In securing government irrigation. And
it may at thla time be stated upon rell
nbie authority that no part of the Klam
ath canal company's work could or
would be used by the government ss a
part df an Irrigation system. Tha en
couraging of the Klamath Canal com
pany to go ahead with its work, think
ing thst tills course Is siding the cause
of SoveYriment Irrigation, is. we know,
an error of judgment and should be dis
couraged." Mcn'g Sewed Oak Sole 63c
