- FOR ROGUE RIVER
Gold Deposit on Stream's
Bed to Be Mined
-Placer Yield.
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.
Grants Pass, Or., June SO. The big
bedrock-mining machine, which Is be
ing built by the Gilman Mining com
pany. Is neartng completion and will be
placed on Rogue river by July 15. The
barge for the machine is being built
in Grants Pass, but the main portion of
the equipment and machinery is under
manufacture at Sacramento. '
The machine Is a patent of L. F. Git-
man, president and manager of the
company, and will introduce a new
filiuse of mining In southern Oregon. It
s a well known fact that the bed of
Rogue river is rich In gold, but there
has been no available method of ob
taining it. The gold could not be
dredged in the ordinary way because
of the bedrock bottom of the river.
This machine dries a portion of - the
river bed, exposing It for mining.
The appliance consists of a coffer
dam, made of steer slides working in
grooves. There is also a double dome
arrangement, one working inside and In
dependent of the other, so that It will
adapt itself to all Irregularities on the
bottom Tf the river. The machine win
work between two ponderous barges,
18 by (0 feet, being hung to an over
head frame In such a way that . the
domes can be readily lifted from the
Dottom or tne river ana snuiea xrom
one point to another.
. Placer Mines' Output Heavy.
The hydraulic placer mines of south
ern Oregon have nearly all completed
their annual spring cleanup. There has
already been brought in for exchange
at the banks for shipment to the mint
over $500,000. It Is believed that the
total output of the placer mines of the
southern Oregon districts for the sea
son will approximate three quarters of
a million. Several of the bigger mines
of the district, among them the Sterl
ing, Deep Gravel, Columbia, Royal
Group and Simmons & Logan, will clean
up from 120,000 to $60,000 each. Be
sides these larger properties there are
a number of small placers that will
clean up from $5,000 to $10,000 each.
There is also considerable platinum
being cleaned up with the placer gold in
southern Oreron. Three fifths of the
total output of platinum In the United
States comes from southern Oregon.
The platinum : is caught in the sluices
with the gold, and is secured by care
ful panning in vats ana iuds oi sun
water.
As the hvdraullo placer minee or
southern Oregon are never-falling in
their returns, the yield from these forms
a most important source of revenue for
the several thousand men engaged in
the mining business in this part of the
state. As it 1. pure gold, and passes the
same as coin, it goes Immediately Into
the channel, of trade, and Insures con
tinued "good times," no matter what
the financial condition of the country
at large may be;

September 1 and the policy will be one
of ultra conservatism, the object being
to restrain the labor movement from

great inroads on the membership of the
union, composing the skilled crafts.
