A COMING GREAT MINING CAMP
There is to be a great mining camp in the Santiam re
gion, at the front door of Salem
And it will do for Salem what the Coeur d'Alene mining
district has done for Spokane.
Within a month will begin the shipment of concentrates
from the Lotz-Larsen mine to. the smelter
And the Silver King mines are coming very near to the
point of production on a commercial basis there may be
some shipments from the Silver King this year. 4 ;
The quick development of this coming great mining
district at the front door of Salem now depends largely upon
good management and ample capital. Some profits will no
doubt be made in sending the concentrates by truck to the
smelter, but the big profits will come with rail connections,
allowing tha elimination of the high trucking costs
Or with the building of a smelter in the Santiam district.
The vastnesj of the ore deposits would justify the construc
tion of a smelter in the Santiam mining camp; and certainly
the cost of a railroad extension from either of two directions,
of only a fev miles, would be justified indeed will surely
come before long. Then will follow the full development into
paying mines of a number of properties seven or eight or
more are now in sight. !H - A ;
There is a story to the effect that the trappers of the
Hudson's Bay company, in the days before the first settle
ments in Oregon, used lead from the ores of the Santiam
country for making bullets for their muzzle-loading muskets.
There was a time, in the early days of the settlement by
white people of the Willamette valley, when the whole of the
Little North Fork of the Santiam river, from the old Elkhorn
postof f ice to the mouth of Gold creek, was staked out in placer
tlaims ; and other placer claims were worked at intervals as
far down as Mehama and a good deal of gold was recovered
in this way estimated at $50,000 to $100,000 as a total. .
Then came a long series of years during which many
mining claims were staked out throughout that region," nad
development work kept up, and some ambitious efforts were
made in those hard years at treating the ores on a commer
cial scale ,
But the ores and combinations were such that all these
efforts were foredoomed to failure, because mining science
had not yet advanced to the point where "there could have
followed success
.But in late years there have been discoveries in this field
that make the treatment of the ores of that region not only
practicable, but very desirable; for the fluxes are such that
the smelters want those ores and will encourage their shijv
ment in every reasonable way. ;
s. Also, during the Jong, hard years of prospecting and
holding the claims, and attempting to do some commercial
mining, the question of transportation was one of the mot
difficult ones for the district. One company, the Black Eagle,
expended a fortune in literally hewing and blasting out of the
solid rock on the sides of the mountain a wagon road in, the
canyon of the Little North; Fork of the Santiam, to within
a couple of miles of the mouth of Gold creek. Since that
time, this road has been widened and improved; new bridges
built, and the road extended to the Lotz-Larsen mines at the
point where Gold creek empties into the Little North Fork
of the Santiam. The Lotz-Larsen people have expended a big
sum of money in improving this road. If as good a county
road as the miners' road could be assured, from Elkhorn to
Mehama and Lyons, the matter of transportation by truck
would be a much easier task. The hauling of truck loads
would be possible throughout the year; barring an occasional
day of deep snow.
HOW THE AUTOMOBILE HURTS THE RAILROADS
In April the Spokane United Railways' interurban lines
carried 112,371 fewer passengers than in April, 1924. The
falling off is attributed to increased auemotive competition.
The company's net loss from operation was $18,521 in April,
$3191 more than in April last year. ;
President Byram of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pau!
said in Spokane recently that, while the long-distance pass
enger business of the company is not falling off, the Milwau
kee's passenger earnings have shown a net slump from the
severe loss of short distance passengers. The annual loss
from tljatf influence runs into millions of dollars. If this
travel had been retained it probably would have kept the
Milwaukee out of a receivership.
In self-defense some of the great railway systems arc
adopting competitive service and putting on the highways
their own lines of freighting trucks and passenger stages
The Great Northern has just adopted that expedient, having
incorporated a subsidiary company with a capital of $1,000,

A TRIUMPH OF ENGINEERING
(By The Associated Press.)
The Florence Lake tunnel, fifteen feet high and the same
width, extending more than thirteen miles, mostly througl.
solid granite in a snaky line under the high Sierras, is a con
struction feat that has just been completed. The tunnel it
one of the most important works in the Big Creek-Sar,
Joaquin River project of .the i Southern California Edisor
company. The entire project will bring in 1,407,000 horse
power, and with its transmission lines, sub-stations and ac
cessories, will cost $375,000,000.
The tunnel itself cost $17,000,000. Since the start in the
fall of 1920, the work has been, maintained in relief shifts
The scene is 250 miles north of Los Angeles and thirty-five
miles south of the Yosemite Valley. The tunnel is to con
vey water from the Florence Lake watershed, source of the
south fork of the San Joaquin river, through the barrier oi
a 10,000-foot mountain ridge into the watershed of Hunting
ton Lake, the reservoir for the four great units of the electric
company which supplies a large part of central and southern
California. ;
World records for tunnel construction have fallen durinf
the four years' progress in the Sierras. The thirteen-mik
bore was divided into three sections, with two lateral adits
cut into the granite slopes r.nd a crew working each way from
each adit. The bore was t orn pleted a year and a half sooner
than the most optimistic estimates. - .
There will follow the creation of Florence Lake, to store
31,000 acre feet of water at an elevation of 7,300 feet The
total drop from Huntington Lake through a chain of tunnels
and power houses to the lowest
leet. me wnoie project when complete will have eighty-six
miles of tunnel, .with about' eighteen power houses.- A 222,-000-vo3t
'transmission line Conveys the ponxr generated' by
power house is about 6,000f

DO YOU KNOW V
That carelessness op the part of
the public costs this nation mill
ions of dollars each year?
.
For instance, last year 21.000.
000 ietters went to the dead letter
office for one reason or another.
All the same time 803.000 par
cels found their way to the same
place. - .-..'
- Every "dy of the year, on an
average. 100.000 letters are plac
ed in the mail with a perfectly
blank envelope. They go to the
dead letter office. That costs the
government money.
-
' Each year through misdirected
envelopes about $35,000 in cash
is extracted from those envelopes.
...
, In the same way, and during the
same time, $12,000 worth of post
age "stamps fail to reach those for
whom they were Intended.
'
It costs Uncle Sam $1,740,000
yearly to look up the addresses on
misdirected mail. ;
;-;.
Over 200,000.000 Tetters in a
year must be given this service. In
New York City alone the expense
of looking up proper address is
around $500 pej day.
'
It's all right to' kick against
the cost of "government, but re
member those in charge of gov
ernmental affairs are not to blame.
Every excessive cost imposed -on
the nation today comes from some
form of carelessness on the part
of the public. -
-
The above shows one form of
such carelessness.
'
Another form 1.3 failure to go to
the polls and elect safe, ; sound,
conscientious men to public of
fice. An order to prfpsrt for a resumption
of opcrstions on Jimc 1 has been issued
to the superintendent ty the Msrsh Mines
Consolidated, BurVe. Idaho, according to
a circular letter to the stoeV holders.
"We are pleased to announce . thst
through tlie courtesy of the management
of the Hecla Mining company, arrange
ments have been completed for continu
ing exploration of the Kussell vein," ssjt
the report, issued by the board ot trus
tees. Edward Pohlmsu, president. "Tin
scene of operations will? be tbe Xo. J
level of the Hecla, which is 300 feet low
er than? the scene of our last operatioiu
on the 30tli floor, and opens ou Canon
creek.' Besides affording greatt-r d-plh
ion the veins, this privilege provides evwn
greater facilities for. waste disposal ami
greitcr convenience for operations iaj;p
eral. "By attacking the Russell vein on thi
lower level, where oxidation and leaching
is less, we hope to disclose an ore sue-t
of commercial importance.
'Work continued last year on the essl
erly extension of the Russell vein from
the 30th floor of the Hecla until Jul?;
when the waste room placed at tha dis
posal of the Marsh - by the Ilerla ronipany
was filled, forcing a su pension. Tou
tinuing longer than expected, this delay
prompted the management to seek an
other outlet and at the same time to ob
tain greater depth if possible. This le.l
to negotiations with another company
whose long tuuncl crosses the Russell vein
at less altitude. These negotiations ruu-'
tinued for several months and failed."
The annual meeting of the Marsh Mines
Consolidated wilt be held at 005 l.uipire
State building, ripokane, at 10 a. m.,
Wednesday, June 10, according to a notice
from Joseph McCarthy, secretary.
Just now many of tne very wls
In matters of finance are wonder

future to Industries that do not

methods of production.
