C . M o o n 1903 — ------- * --------------- Mining Activity in Oregon. Up to within a very short time Oregon was considered a state of little importance as regards min ing. Few people outside the state owned mining property there and the residents themselves showed little inclination to develop the latent mineral resources. When the owner of the Bonanza mine died after having placed a mortgage on the property, the mortgage was disconsolate because he had ad vanced his own and relative’s mon ey on such security. The sequel proved the wisdom of the loan and the mortgage secured a true bo nanza. I t could not Ire forever, however, that the wonderful min eral resources of the state should retrain undeveloped and from a few seemingly venturesome investors the number has finally swelled to a horde of eager treasure hunters and the state is now being carefully gone over by those who have mon ey to invest in mines. Money has flowed into the mines from every quarter and there is a hum of in tense activity all along the mount ains. As is usual most of this ac tivity is due to new blood and out side capital. The mines are being rapidly developed, equipped anil made to produce, with the result that the large number already pay ing profits will be rapidly increasod. It is perfectly fair to state that Or egon is now second only to Cali fornia as a gold producing state on the Pacific coast. Whut it’s future will lie, may be surmised when it is known that state is barely belted with railroads along it’s northern border and along it'B western Bide. Few feeders enter the great interior and they but a short distance, while the greater portion of the state is still dependent upon the primitive means of communication and traffic. That this pioneer condition is about to pass away seems certain in the face of present activity along all lines and dividend paying mines will be counted by the score in the very near future. The report of the director of the Uuited States mint will show an astonishing in crease in the gold production for the year 1903, and this will come from tHe numerous small contribu tions of mines, but recently put in to profitable production. — Mining. -*• - 1 wo lor the fries ot One.
