which the most good may be ac

matter of Irrigation. It would not

Editor Statesman: :
: Among the oldest and most in
teresting as well aa promising of
the mining districts of Oregon is
the Santiam. In looking, back
through the files of early - day
newspapers published In this state,
one finds news articles and com
. ments' regularly appearing regard
ing the mining activities in this
tistrlct. ( In early days the dis
trict was .admost' inaccessible ,ia
the winter months. The writer
finds in the. issue ot the Oregon
Statesman of October 12. 1863, a
letter to the .editor "written by
I. R.. Moores, warning .the public
of the dangerot attempting the
trip over the Bilyeu trail from
the settlements Bear, peorge Bfl
yeu's, eight miles above Scio, on
Thomas s - Fork to Quartzvllle,
where rich strikesof gold bearing
quarts had been made;' the .arti
cle stating that the entire trip
of. 4$ miles must be made on foot
over a bad trail through heavy
timber and over very steep moun
tains. The same issue gives an
account ' of a meeting . held , at
Quartzvllle for -' the purpose ot
providing means for building .a
winter trail. ' In j the Oregonlan
of August . 24, X865, is .a news
Item stating that Gen. -Ashley and
CoL Frothingham i accompanied
by Gen. Hamilton were leaving to
visit the capital city and. also the
Santiam mining district. In the
Oregonian of May 24, 1875, ap
pears an Item.itelUng of O. :P.
Terrell of Salem, receiving word
from Smith's Ferry on the San

made for such Irrigation over most
of the total area. :,v , . , .
Irrigation would mean greater
yields per acre, that In turn would
mean lower; costs per unit ot pro
duction which spells additional
marginr of : profit. Irrigation
would mean new crops and Indus
tries in the . Willamette valley, and
no doubt among 'them the great
agricultural developer, sugar beets
and sugar.;. IT COULD NOT BE
HELD BACK. This is promoted
by the editorial-and articles ap

factory the farmers to absorb 50

The matter would have been car

failure of the railroads to agree to

Commerce is ready to : undertake
this project again,' for next year;
or to aid In getting the necessary
acreage for a factory to-be built

If the Utah-Idaho people r ; will

the neighborhood of 1000 feet, at

The walls and, ledge mater have
been" followed for a number of

every indication of a cintinuation
of the ore bodies both along the
strike of the veins and in depth.
A great deal of the ore. is high

easily treated , by modem meth
ods, , i . .
The district is abundantly sup
plied with timber for mining pur
poses of all kinds. There is ' am
pie - water power available that
can be developed at a reasonable
cost.- These two very important
assets to mining could hardly bd
improved upon.
There is a fairly good road In
to the district easily traveled by
automobile, it being possible to
drive from Salem to the heart of
the- district in' the neighborhood
ot three hours. -. The . scenery
along this road is as picturesque

the Santiam mining district;; that! good engineers are
saying that this district is The Butte City district of
Oregon undeveloped that ii 5is "one of the best unde
veloped silver-lead-zinc prospects in this or any other
country," and that proper and. permanent methods are
just.now about to be employed, and actual mining and
treating and shipping of ores on a commercial scale is
likely to begin soon so that it will probably not be long

1 Divide Burden, Correct
. -ing Present Evil
. A' great deal of damage has
been done to Oregon Irrigation be
cause of talk of repudiation of ir
rigation district bonds," W. Laird
Thompson of Portland, told mem
bers of the Salem Kiwanis cub
TbesdayT r : I
"We must not figure on . repu
diation. . That Is unsound and will
dor more damage than anything
else." To back up his statement
he audted the case of certain 'lo
calities in the state of-Washington,
where repudiation was talked
the state 'would no nothing..' to
compel the localities to pay cup.
and the result is that they must
sell, their. bonds at a ridiculously
low price. v
He proposed that the state cre
ate a revolving 'fund to help those
who are, willing to pay their cost
ot irrigation. :' "J '- ';. . ;

there are ; too many : who : shirk
their duty, and those who have
the will to pay have to foot the

Editor Statesman: - -
I visited the Lotz-Larsen Mln
ing.companfs property and made
a cursory examination of the 'for
mation, and of the work done.'and
of the water power' Immediately
adjacent- to the property and; on
ihe tproperty,1 and from what " I
saw of the formation, ore develop
ed and .the topography I formed
an opinion of-it being the founda
tion of a future developed large
tonnage prod uc Jug mine of good
grade, mining ore with occasional
occurrences ot high grade are; all
of the ore carrying copper, silver
add some gold.
The mineralization occurs in
wide ledges and the ore - where'
concentrated on the foot walls or
hanging walls is in sufficient
widths and commercial grade to
pay, and, from .what-1 saw, and
afterwards reading the report of
the examining engineers of the
assays ot his samples of the tun
nels and from the ore I saw in
place and the samples I took, I
am convinced that within the
boundaries' of the Lotz-Larsen
mining property there. is the mak
ing of a successful mine, and the
showing is ' such s' to fully war
rant development,, promising suc
cessful results ' on a "moderate
scale of operation; that there IS
more than fan excellent probabil
ity of opening large bodies of ore
of medium grade values which
will -pay to work on a large scale
commercially: . ' v - :7
' That working' conditions " on
the property, if used to proper ad
vantage, will permit of very low
operating ' costs, thus, making . it
possible to show higher profit per

where with similar ore and with

- The Greenawalt process offers

would be especially ; valuable to

, It jtakes'the place of smelting
teh ore to copper matte; of con

The output Is a complete, fin
