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.
