PRODUCTION OF GOLD; IN OREGON IN 1915 TO BE DOUBLE LAST YEAR - r " . More Than $2,000,0001! Is ... Estimated, in This State . During Present Year. VALUE OF BUREAU GREAT Mln. and Oeolog-y Department De clared to Be More Eatifactory Than Geological Survey. Gold to a value of more than $2,000,- VUU will oe prouueeu iruui xegun mines during 1915, according to A. H. Gunnell, well ' known Grants Pass miner (owner who la .in Portland on business. "This year's production will be more than double that of 1914," he said yes terday. ""The production was somewhat over J 1,000,000 "last year. ' "Southern Oregon's gold production this year will be $1, 000.000 or more, as much as the state's total for 1914." .Mr. Gunnell, with tr. J. F. Reddy, who accompanied him to Portland, haa just completed the purchase of the "Waldo, district copper mine. They de cline to state the purchase price, but the last option offered by the Gunn es tate of San FranciFco, from which the bought, was $200,000. The 'purchasers admit that theirs was a six figure deal. The Waldo mine has produced 7500 tons of ore, running 13 per cent cop per and '4- to theton gold. "We have in the mine today an ore body 300 feet long and 16 feet wide, running 10 per cent copper and $4 gold to the: ton," said Mr. Gunnell. Activity in Mining. "The mine will be blocked out and ready for production by the time the railroad Dr. Reddy is building from the Illinois valley reaches our section. That will be soon. "There is more mining activity in southern' Oregon than at any previous time during the past 10 years. "There is great demand for gold and many have-turned to mining. "A large number of important sales have been made in our district that have scarcely received any notice. "The Raleigh "Copper mine on Elk creek has been taken over by eastern capitalists. . "The Channel placer mine was bought by Seattle people, and is now in operation. "The Anaconda gold quartz mine on Coyote creek was bought by Thrasher & Wilson, and is now being worked. "The Sowell gold and copper mine has been bought by Dreager and oth ers of Salem. "The Barr nlacer mine on Bridge oreek .was bought by James of Colo rado. -Many Mines Reopened. "Three big dredging concerns have been test drilling in southern Oregon, and there is a practical certainty that two to three modern gold dredges will be installed during the present year at a. cost of noteless than $250,000. "Many mines ' have been reopened. Among them are ' the Deep Gravel, owned by. Evan Reames of Medford: the Greenback, a gold quartz -10 stamp mill,, and one of the most famous in the country, which is under lease to John Anderson and associates; the Jim Blaine, owned bythe Lewis estate of Portland, which is under lease to George Epperly and associates, and four or five placer mines on Graves creek, which had been idle for four or five years. "The added impetus given mining in southern Oregon, and. .in fact, through out the state. .is attributable in large part to the splendid work of the pre gon , Bureau of Mines and Geology. It has conducted research work of the most exhaustive character. Its find- - : - - . . - i Ings have been of great modern, sclen-! tific and economic value to the min ing industry and its bulletins of great, benefit ..to miners. . ; Bureau's Work Valuable. "The bureau has been doing several times the work of the United States Geological survey at one-fifth the cost. Its work has been more accurate, more satisfactory, and the results are given before the Information ceases to be of value, whole, on the other hand the findings of the United States Geologi cal . survey are apt to be given long after the information has ceased to be of any value whatever. "When the public begins to realize the practical value of the work done by the Oregon Bureau of Mines and Geology It will be more willing and generous in its support of it. The bureau will have a. great influence in increasing mineral production of this state. ' , r - "The legislature added to the ap propriation for maintenance of the bureau, a sum of $10,000 for a min eral exhibit at the. Panama-Pacific ex position in San Francisco which will, I am convinced, attract much desir able attention to the mineral resources of Oregon." Tailors' Shears ' Interesting Relics One Fair Was Used By, Man from Whom General Grant and Others Bought" Uniforms. George 11. Himes. .the assistant sec retary of the Oregon Historical so ciety, has a. collection of tailors shears " which are interesting relics of Oregon's early days. One pair re cently presented to the'-society, were used by John Schiffmann in St. Louis in the early part of the last century. At the outbreak of the Civil war prominent men like Grant, Lyons and Fremont ordered uniforms of him. The shears were brought to Oregon by a Mr. Schaefer, now a retired tailor in this city. . They weigh. 35 ounces. Another pair in the possession of the Historical society were brought from Germany. in 1848 and were used for many years by G. Llnemann, who j who th -first tailor in. Portland. He I settled near Gresham, bought cloth j from Patrick Raleigh, one of the early merchants in this city, and cut his cloth and did his work on the farm. The shears weigh 28 ounces. A third pair 'cam& to Oregon in 1811 with the ship "Tonquin." They came into the possession of William Can- non, who was with the Astor overland j expedition. He lived at " French Prairie for many years. The pair were made in England and. weigh 4l ounces. There is still another pair of shears known to have been brought Over from England in the first ship that reached Vancouver, Washington. They were bought "by Edward Chambreen from a Scotch tailor in Vancouver named Macshall for a pony valued at $15. They weigh 36 ounces. All these .shears are in a good state of preserva tion and as capable of use as they ever were. They might need sharpen ing to suit a ' skilled workman, but they are sound in every way and are not rusted.
