. uity of mining history 90 years
old.
Z On August 29, 1865. Gold
Creek mining district was or
ganized and defined Its boun
daries as those drained by Gold
"ireek, a tributary of the Llt-
-lle North Fork of the Santiam
Apn the northeastern frontier of
-me luuiuy.
Oldtimers who ventured to
- California with the 49'ers
couldn't get the gold bug out of
. their systems. Even as early a;
JTebruary, 1849, news of the
discovery of gold in the San
" tiam country was reported in
Vin DraDnn f"ttv Snfta(nr
. . i . I ... iHt
ilUl IIW UIIC VI1CI1 WU IlllCICSb-
ri in nanmnff for 4 a dav
when news of the great bon
anza on the north fork of Am
erican river was inspiring
gold rush to El Dorado.
- But they came back to H
In 1853 when Asahel Bush in
the Oregon Statesman reported
that not less than 500 miners
were panning and prospecting
on Quartzville creek in the
South Santiam country. Some
were hopeful that the wealth
of the California fields would
be duplicated here. Others

other Jacksonville where the
auriferous wealth was discov
ered in 1851-52.
Again there was disenchant
ment. The quartz that held the
gold was hard, a complex ore
that in addition contained
gold, silver, copper, lead and
zinc. Though White Bull lode
in the Quartzville region pro-
duced the most beautiful spe
cimens of arborescent gold that
Frances Fuller Victor had
ever seen, these elegant "eagle
nests," rarely found, were no
bonanza.
So. the oldtimers with a
glint in their eyes left dull
Jobs and dull lives to seek
wealth and exhiliration hunt
ing for gold in the North San
tiam country. Enthusiasm for
Gold Creek was contagious
around Salem in the 1860s.
Five companies were engaged
in mining here during Civil
War times and about 500
miners were at work on claims
that had already been staked
out and recorded.
First in the field was Au
rora company headed by J. P.
HUntington of Salem who act
ed as superintendent of Indian
affairs in Oregon when he was
not mining. Robert H. Down,
historian of the Silverton
country, relates that 20 well
defined quartz lodes were dis
covered in this region. How
ever, those seeking gold and
silver were poorly rewarded.
But prospects presented on pa
per were seductive and allur
ing. Long thereafter Col. J. W.
Redington, well acquainted
with Santiam mines of earlier
times, pointed out that John
G. WriRht, mayor of Salem in
the 1870s and J. H. Haas, the
Jeweler, poured money into
Santiam mines that had al
ready cost Jake and Ike
Moores a mint of money. (I.
R. Moores was father of Cal
Moores whose tenefaction
funeral Wealili in Marion Soiiniy
lately inspired the Venus im
broglio). Finally said Col. Redington,
"there was gold there then and
there is gold there now. But
it is so muchly mixed with an
timony, testimony and acri
mony that it refuses to separ.
ate."
Capital Journal Weekly for
June 30, 1904, relates that
packing from the. Tal Pope
and the P. L. Darling ranch in
the Elkhorn country to the
Freeland Consolidated mine
cost from $1 to $2.50 a 100
pounds. At the Lewis and
Clark mine 3000 feet above
sea level the reporter saw 60
bushels of potatoes that were
packed into the mine on horse
back at a cost of S2 a bushel.
In that year Jim Church,
Hank Monk of the North San
tiam and Quartzville country,
took Marion County Judge
John H. Scott and Commis
sioners Isaac Needbam and
William Miley into the mines
from the railhead at Gates.
Jim Church was no miner
but he was rated as the best all
around mountain teamster in
Oregon. An adventure in a
Kreat frost had cost him both
legs, one hand and he bad left
only the part of the other.
"What the hell," exclaimed
this indomintable character
who cracked his whip over
lead mules Pete and Jerry and
urged his trusty wheelers,
Beckie and Ginnie. As an en
tertainer this jehu, who got
around on knee stumps with
agility, had few equals. Be
sides, he was a fellow with
wide general information, a
good business man and, con
sidering his occupation, some
thing' of a gentleman.
Fifty years ago Otto Hansen
president of Gold Mining and
Milling company, estimated
that 60 men employed for 60
days were needed to build a
road into the Santiam mining
region at a cost of about $1000
a mile. Then all supplies had
to be packed or sledded 10
miles over primitive trails or
slipped down rocky declivi
ties into this remote land of
promise..
Otto Hansen was realistic.
He insisted that the mineral
wealth of this region could not
be efficiently tapped until an
adequate transportation into
the mines was established and
a stamp mill established there.
Until that was accomplished
only development and recon
noiter was practical. Even so.
claim holders were encouraged
by assays that showed speci
mens contained a gold content
ranging from $5 to $150 a ton
and even higher.
r,nl(,l .TAiirasl far MfiV It.
1909 reported that a boom was
underway
along the Little
North Fork of the Santiam.
The woods were full of pros
pectors and the crack of blasts
in tunnels was almost inces
sant. Not less than 25 men
were at work on a road into
the region and a stage was
running to within two and a
half miles of the smelter nt
the mouth of Gold creek. Said
this optimistic account:
' Gold deposits in the Little North Fork of the Santiam .
attracted miners 90 years ago. Today the mineral wealth ;
in this locality is being developed by a number of com
panies and individuals engaged in exploring ledges, driving. ,
tunnels and mapping the mineral resources of the region.
Ledges of composite ores rich in lead, zinc and copper have
been discovered. Top, left: , James P. Hewitt (center),
mining superintendent for five companies shows a quartz :
rich in zinc to. Fred Zimmerman (left), and George
Hahn (right). Lower, left: Ore car used in developing a
tunnel running beneath the' private road leading to a
mine. Top, right: Headquarters of the five companies where
11 employes are now housed. Other structures are a com
missary, warehouse and machine shop. Right, center: ruins
of old stamp mill collapsed by a 12 foot snow of several
years ago. A new mill is now -in the making. Right, bottom:
George Hahn, ranger at the Pearl Creek station, locks the
gate on a private road leading to the mines. Acute fire
hazards in the remote region and a mining investment of
$750,000 make this precaution necessary.
"It will only be a short time
until one can have his baggage
checked through to Gold Creek
and can find a modern hotel
there where he can get a bath
without resorting to the primi
tive plan of going to the
creek." (That vision of 44
years ago has not yet been
fulfilled).
However, a year later a Sa
lem newspaper reported that
the road from Gates to Gold
Creek, Ogle mountain and the
Lester section, recently built
at a cost of $25,000, had been
completed. It was rated as one
of the finest mountain roads
ever built into a mining dis
trict. Then, says the account,
tver 60 miners were woiking
claims along the Little North
Fork of the Santiam. Ten tun
nels were counted at Gold
Creek, Freeland and Electric
holdings.
About this time. Capital
Journal for May 8, 1909, viv
idly reports a homicide that
occurred during a shooting at
Gates regarded as worthy of
Hangtown in gold rush times
60 years before. "Smoke House
Bill," engineer for the Curtis
Logging company, and Henry
Sullivan, president of the
Golden Arch Mining company,
shot it out over a woman who
had captured the affections of
both. Spectators on the porch
of the Koontz hotel at Gates
ducked for cover and those
who had just alighted from
the Gold Creek stage scuttled
from the scene of ricocheting
bullets and smoking revolvers.
President Sullivan fell dead
and Smoke House Bill, In a
precariously wounded condi
tion, surrendered to authori
ties. Since that lethal event 44
years ago Santiam mines have
made few headlines. In recent
years inquiries about opera
tions at Silver King mine,
Black Eagle, Ogle Mountain,
Lotts Larson, Crown and
others shown on old maps
vielded no information from
Pcons who might De sup-
posra "
capital journal party ct vut
to see ior themselves.
The road from Salem to Elk
horn is easy enough and scen
ic too. in places. Here one en
ters the national forest and
the good road continues right
up to Pearl creek ranger sta
tion. Already the traveller has
observed signs proclaiming "no
smoking" in national forests
George Hahn is in charge of
the Pearl creek ranger station.
George is a veteran of the Kor
ean affair,. 23, and married to
an attractive wife. He is a
sophomore at Oregon State
college and a major in educa
tion. His lookout station is 3 H
miles away and 3000 feet above
his ranger station. He likes it
all.
"How far can we go toward
the mines" the Capital Jour
nal asked George. ,
"About four miles to . the
locked gate," he replied. Fol
lowed a pleasant conference,
radio communications and as
sent. George and Mrs. Hahn
accompanied the Capital Jour
nal's party and all set out for
the mines on an authorized vis
itation. The road is not good. In
places it is steep, rough and
hangs perilously close to the
edge of precipltious declivities
hundreds of feet deep. At the
gate George produced a key
and the party entered a re
gion seldom visited by out
landers. Near the end of a curvaceous
street is an attractive cottage
occupied by James P. Hewitt,
superintendent of mining de
velopment undertaken by five
companies with claims and in
terests in the region.
Jim Hewitt is an affable and
genial man. But he makes no
apologies for the locked gate.
Behind that gate is private
property and he is responsible
for it. He cannot afford to risk
a forest conflagration started
by visitors who sometimes
smoke against rules or by
those who depart leaving camp
fires unquenched in an area
that is peculiarly hazardous
for fire.
A short distance beyond the
gate lies headquarters for five
groups of mining interests hav
ing Jim Hewitt for superinten
dent: Santiam Zinc Company,
Santiam Copper Company,
Amco Mining and Milling
Company, Gold Creek Mining
and Milling Company, and Co
lumbia Mining Company. Site
of this area with electric lights,
homes for employes, the super
intendent's office, commissary,
warehouses and shops is at the
confluence of Battle Axe creek
with the Little North Fork of
the Santiam. The distance from
Salem is 52 miles.
Jim Hewitt is an oldtimer In
this mining region. He first
camt in 1929 and took active
charge of mining development
here in 1929. Then there was
no acceptable road into the
region. A practical road for
automotive traffic was one of
Hewitt's first accomplish
ments. Today there are about 23 In
dividuals working private
claims in this region. At pres
ent the group represented by
Jim Hewitt has U men em
ployed though at times the
number has been as high as 80.
During the 1947-49 interval hi
sponsors paid out $87,000 in
wages alone. In 1952 the pay
roll was $42,000. His groups
are closed corporations and no
stock is available for sale.
Until a 12-foot snow hit the
region a few winters ago the
associated companies operated
a stamp mill near camp head
quarters. But that heavy snow
leveled the structure. It was
not immediately replaced but
another ore mill is now in the
making.. .
. Minerals In Little North
Fork deposits are found in
complex quartz ores contain
ing a small amount of gold
and silver and major propor
tions of copper, lead and zinc.
Development here is a grad
ual, long range program re
quiring expenditures of about
$60,000 annually. Promising
veins are explored, ler'-es are
traced and platted. Every min
eral wealth in the region is
reconnoitcred. Production ore
for commercial refining is not
now a major undertaking
though about 10 tons of con
centrates have lately been
shioped to San Francisco for
refining and present produc
tion on a very limited scale
could keep a 250-ton stamp
mill in operation.
Groups represented by Hew
itt already have near $750,000
invested in mining develop
ment in the Little North Fork
region. They have had. Jim
says, opportunities to dispose
of their holdings to others who
prefer to allow nterprising
enthusiasts pioneer and then to
acquire Interests when their
value is definitely ascertained.
"So," says Jim Hewitt, "we
are biding our time. We are
exploring as economically and
efficiently, as we know how.
We believe we are operating
in a very rich mineral area
and we have not yet been dis
enchanted by rather slow and
methodical developments."

Exchange Club
Hears Brand
"Freedom is Indivisible In
the world. The tima was when
we could pursue our own life
within our owa walla. That
time is past."
These words were from
Justice Jame T. Brand of the
Oregon Supreme Court as he
addressed the Salem Ex
change club at its Wednesday
luncheon meeting at the Sen
ator hotel. He told of his ex
periences and impressions of
the Nuremberg War Crimes
trials in Germany where he
was a presiding judge for a
number of trials in 1947.
"The moral apparent in the
Nuremberg trials," said Jus
tice Brand, "is that in these
times, unless we strive to en
force International will in
producing fair trials and lib
erty for the peoples of the
world, we cannot long expect
to have such freedom in this
country."
j "Under International law
and understandings of previ
ous times, each nation under
its. own sovereignty could not
be compelled by another na
tion to do anything. That sit
uation no longer holds true
under world circumstances to
day," he pointed out. "Fof In
stance, Russia compelled us to
sacrifice billions of dollars
and thousands of men in Ko
rea and elsewhere."
"More than sovereignty, I
-love freedom," the Justice ex
claimed.
Justice Brand told the
group that the Nuremberg tri
als are significant because of
their place in international
law. Many attorneys held that
the trials were illegal because
they were .based on ex post
facto law. The fact is, Brand
said, that they were on the
same basis as our trials under
common law in early Ameri
can and English history.
He- explained that there
were three types ot war
crimes tried: Those against
men accused of starting an ag
gressive war, those against
men accused of war crimes
against men in violation ot the
Hague , and Geneva conven
tions agreements, and those ot
men accused of crimes against
humanity such as the persecu
tion of the Jews, for whom all
rights ceased to exist in Ger
many and other countries dur
ing the war.
"The people's freedom' and
liberty are lost when the Judi
cial system becomes' a mock
ery at it did in Germany," he
stated. "So long as you have
dictatorial powers invested in
the hands of one man, you
cannot have freedom ot the
individual."
The judge took leave of his
duties here in 1947 at the re
quest of the U. S. government
to go to Nuremberg as presid
ing Judge of trials of 15 Ger
man judges and attorneys.
