EXPERIMENTS SHOW RICHNESS OF STATE Declare Gravel of Streams Holds Abundance of Gold, While Black Sand Gives Evidence of Large De posits of Platinum. A. J. Stowall, a successful mining man of large experience In Montana and Colorado, and who has been operat ing In Alaska for the past eight years, thinks well of the outlook for Oregon. He says that "while perhaps there Is leas gold here there is more worth liv ing for than in the frozen north," and ao has decided to make Portland his fu ture home and in casting about for ac tive Investments Is naturally attracted to the state's mineral resources, as that Is a line he is familiar with and in which he has made his money. He be lieves that as soon as the vast, dormant, natural resources of the northwest are better known. Oregon will spring for ward ty leaps and bounds In the de velopment of them and soon take her rightful place aa a wealth-producing state. The possibilities of the gold-dredging Industry are particularly attractive to him. In reference to this subject he says: "In my opinion Oregon will be the next Held exploited and opened up to gold dredging operations on a large scsle.

These 'feeders' are the gulches, ravines and creeks leading down from the mountains where the gold was origi nally deposited with the formation, that has been worn down, disintegrated and erroded by the action of the ele ments and carried Into and built up the valleys. Burnt surer District. "Having heard much of the phenome nal richness of the early day placer mines of eastern Oregon, and with a view of seelag what there might be left that would be available for dredging purposes, I decided to look Into the situation, and had the pleasure of being shown ovsr a large portion of lower Burnt river by P. sf.
