IN OREGON IN 1915 TO
BE DOUBLE LAST YEAR

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.
