Santiam date back as early as 1S60, the coun try: has hardly been more than Just pioneered, and that which was done was very . incomplete. The country, owing to the dense vegetation and undergrowth " of fern and "plnnt life," is AdIfTTcuU one to prospect, and as a result it has taken years of hard and tediousi and at times discouraging work on the .part of prospectors to. wrest from the .mountains their secret of mineral! wealth. In the. early days the Country was "pan prospected" oif pros pected for gold and silver. These f were the only-minerals t"hat the f J average prospector! ; was jfamlliar J vvlth. and when he found ao "col V''W" in the pan orl at least not enough color to pay well, it was the cue for the Idea that the coun try contained nothing; of value. Place Mining of OM But even though ' the country today is hot considered a gold bearing zone in the sense of being highly enriched, the records that carry from tuose early' days the. history of the , prospector show that in some cases tremendously rich placer pockets ' were found that yielded tbc.yellow metal in great amounts. The "finds" were (sufficient to keep hope kindled and keep- men" working for several years, but no enough to Pay Pro fitable' returns; in most cases.: a , The ore ledges i that are . nowt known were not alj f discovered at that time, though, the old timers knew of the existence of many of them, but for the reason that they did not yield up gold; enough to make them profitable by the meth ods used then they were consider ed ledges of "fool's gold," "white and yellow iron," and other names known to the early prospector. A Lot of Money I Lost ! The gold excitiemeijtf was suffic ient, however, tot make men spend . moneys in " unselfish; j quantitie; companies at different times were organized and the country asja result took many thousands of dollars from the early miner and prospector and gave, little or no return' of prorit. " j 1 ; :'. : "" :" ' Resulting fromthls ilong period of prospecting the news spread through the mining world of that day thate It was best to "stay; out of " the Santiam." .and J the pros pecting finally almost: ceased, ex cepting. Ifffhere and there a man who jAlll had the rourage and hope to continue the right. 1 ' Such names as Hall. Church, Jones, Ska I fet Hansenpummings. White and others j are spoken wherever the anr "days of the Santiam are dincused.i They were mpn whxj restledjwlththe lonc llncss, the isolation and hardships, and it ?a the w lio brought thej news years later that the' country was , heavily . , mineralized with sulphUlef ores that were rich in' copper, lead silver, -gold aud Zinc. : n-. i ! ,! The Jfewtr, Better Pay ' Then came a newer iay, and puch men as Lotz, Larsen, Staley.

While railroads were building over the roughest parts of the country to tap timber and agricultural communities the' mineral deposits were passed by witu a i seeming scorn, and a prejudice that would have dishearteped. the strongest of the average man. J . " "! " ' Not so with the men who were putting their fortunes and years in the task before them. Even government assistance was not given, and state and county gave little of the much needed help to make possible the success of the country. . I " . ' - However, a ;ame trail widened to a pack trail the pack trail, to a wagon road and now; the wagon road ras been filled and widened fills and cuts have been made bridges span the, canyons and creeks, and a good mountain trail road now winds its way from the railroad at Mehama up to the Lotz-Larsen guup, which is prac tically at the eastern nd of the district. Railioads are keeping their eres on the development work, county state and government are begin ning to give their support and the skeptics are gradually beginning, to see the error of their ways. A Coining reat Industry. A great- Industry is being teroneht to i Its own there.

It will help give a market to the products of the land and an ever increasing trade to the channels of commerce here. ' , ! Many Claims SUkcd Out Many claims are staked out , In the district bordering on the Lit tle North Fork of the Santiam river, north and south and east and; west of the Lotz-Larsen camp, taking in a territory of many square miles. Among the com panies represented there are: The Gold Creek . Mining and Milling company, joining some of the claims of the Lotz-Larsen group. .

There are numerous other min ng companies and individual pros pects scattered all over,that terri tory, and there will 'be ;many ithers, as oon as the "d'arelop nent of the district is further along. The same will be true of the territory lower dowp.

"OREGON QUALITY! products are establishing themselves in world markets; they make our pay rolls they build our cities; they attract new capital and new people; they provide a market for the products of our farms. Oregon farms produce a wider variety of profitable crops of "Oregon Quality" food than any other spot on earth. The Silver King Minei (Coutinaea from pjo ly body is opened up by tunnels along the vein for a distance of about 400 feet, which discloses an ore body for at least this distance along the vein and from 4 to 10 feet in width, carrying values in gold, silver, lead and zinc, ; assays' from Which showed values ranging from 3 to 700 per ton, and in dicate an average value of about $20 per ton. ' Two smaller veins paralled the "Queen" vein, but are smaller in size and less in value than the "Queen" vein on the surface. ' , j VS j To Mine by Gravity : 1 ijte power plant above mention ed Is situated at-the portal of a long cross-cut tunnel, designed to tap the ore body of the "Queen" vein, at & depth of approximately one thousand feet on the incline of the vein, passing though the two smaller veins en route. This tunnel will drain the mines, and allow the ores of these veins above thi3 tunnel level to be mined by the gravity system of mining the most economical known. A concentrating plant to treat these ores will he erected at and con nected to this power plant.; i Heat Ores Lie Deep' Because "of certain characteris tics of the ores and veins and very slight oxidization "and donwnward enrichment of the ores where ex posed near the surface, together with the fact that pjractically all of the ore discovered In this dis trict have been,. disclosed by deep if s ; ; - - i ft i . n . i p i C . - v ' . j, V : ... ?j t.-.s ir.lk -4 "P "l C m jMag.ataaitA Silver King Power Plant '- r' '' " " . r ; -: - --i-, - - : -- - - - vj canons which have apparently just eroded down to them the man agement of the Silver King mines, came to the conclusion that the ore deposits of this district, what ever they may be, lie mainly below the present general level of erosion, and are deep seated, and that it would be advisable to de velop the Silver King mines at as deep a level as it was practical to go at this time. : In pursuance of this policy they designed the long5 cross-cut tunnel above men tioned, to lap the ore body oT the "Queen" vein at a "depth, of ap proximately . 1000 feet, 1 passing through the two smaller veins be fore reaching the "Queen" vein. ; Finding Rich Ore This work Is Just now being carried to a successful conclusion, i9 cross-cut 'tunnel has reached and passed through the two saall- er veins, above mentioned, the first vein having about two feet of ore, assays from which showed values of $119.30 per ton In gold and silver; the second vein having about three feet of ore, assays from which showed values of $56.04 per ton in gold silver, lead and zinc. Both of the veins cut have showed a great increase in value at this depth as compared with the ores near the surface. A very important feature ofthe ores of these two veins, cut in the deep cross-cut tunnel, ; is the oc curance of dolomite as a part of the vein matter and in association with the ore3. The association of dolomite with the ores Is peculiar to nearly all of the deep gold and silver mines of the world. , As dolomite is always deposited under pressure at great depths, approximately 2000 to 8000 feet or more from the original surface, and as no dolomite is found on or near the present surface in thi3 district, it is apparent that the surface'erosion has not yet reached the level of dolomite deposition in this region, and that the ore deposits of this district, whose de position is associated with dolo mite, lie entirely below the present eroded surface, and will require deep works to properly develop them, such as is now being done at the Silver King. - , Fortunately Situated .. The Silver King is fortunately, situated to do this deep develop ment work. ' The point where the Silver King tunnel is being driven Is the lowest geologically in the a?-w,'!iff'"' I 1 i i '4 t I Machine Camp at Silver. King Mine district. " This tunnel after pass ing through the two smaller veins above mentioned. Is now being driven forward, and should cut the "Queen" vein somewhere with in the next 200 feet, and what It disclose in the ore body of the Queen'. vein at this depth will have an epochal effect on the for tunes of this district, and will de finitely settle the much mooted question as to whether the mines of this region will go down or not. It the "Queen" vein shows ap proximately the same increase In extent and value of its ores on this leve as the two smaller veins just paused through, the success of this mine will bo assured. Its successful operation as a deep and permanent mine will mean much to the city of.
