THE MINERAL BSSOUROES OP DOUG
LAS COUNTY.
ITS' VAST, P BE SEAT AXD F VI CUE.
A Jteclew of the Situation.
By Will Q. Brown.
So little is really known of the min
eral resources ef our county, and .what it
is capable of producing in the way of val
uable metals; and so little has been done
in this regard that it may seem like a
work of supererogation to enter into a
resume of the business, but when we
consider the vast expanse of territory
embraced within our boundaries, the
indications of mineral wealth that are
occasionally brought to notice, the rich
ness cf the various placers that have
ked at different timee, and
linally the ignorance (no milder term
is applicable) of the majority ot our
prospectors in searching for veins, and
their lack of knowledge regarding the
different minerals, the prospects are en
couraging, to say the least for the tlis
covery of mineral wealth that may ad
vance our resources far beyond our
most sanguine expectations a realiza
tion of these hoi)e8, however, can never
be expected until we have incorporated
in the search, men of experience and
energy, who understand the nature and
occurrence of metalliferous veins and the
minerals accompanying them, men who
will work to develop a prospect and not
sit in a bar-room with their heels on the
stove, waiting for some ona to put in
an appearance and pay them an enor
mous sum for a mere location that per
hapa cost them a dollar for recording.
About very five years we have a local
mining excitement raised by some one
bringing in a rich piece of float quartz.
These periodical excitements are only
appseciated by the County Clerk who
generally reaps a rich harvest from re
cording the mining locations at one
dollar each; the locators who are gen
erally farmers in the neighborhood, sel
dom work more than a few days on
their claims, the excitement dies out,
and the county as a field for investment
in mines receives a black-eye, although
some of the claims may have had merit,
that in a mining camp, would encour
age development and result in the open
ing of a producing mine.
The Oregonian of November 11th,
published a very truthful, though not
a flattering account of the mines and
prospects of Southern Oregon, but a
capitalist seeking investment would
never come to our county to investigate
our mines after perusing that article,
which was written by Herbert Lang
Ph. B. We do not anticipate, nor is it
our present aim to induce capital to
come and invest, but we do want intelli
gent, experienced prospectors to come
and develope our resources, and to such
we say that you will have for the most
part virsin around to operate on, and
every indication of paying leads to en
courage you in your work; but the pre
requisites of success are indomitable en-
erffv and perseverance: possessed of
these, backed bv a strong arm, you will
advance, what will ultimately become
tho leading industry of the county.
This is no visionary project of an opti
jniaVhut a cold, fact, based on aknowi-
edge of the country and the minerals it
contains. II is true the number of
metals and minerals having an econom
ic value generally known to exist here
can be counted on ones fingers, but it
is our purpose to demonstrate that but
a tithe of them are so known. We
have of nickel ores, three varieties; non-
meite, garnierite and nickeliferousphy
rotite. Of iron ore3, five varieties;
manganiferous, magnetic, limonite,
hematite and chromite. Of quicksilver,
two varieties; cinnabar and nietacmna
barite. Of copper, four varieties; na
tive copper, ohalcopyrite, copper glance
and blue and green carbonates, the lat
ter, however, only as incrustations.
Gold occurs native in quartz and asso
ciated with chalconynite, arsenopyrite,
dlenite and pyrite. Silver is found in
placer washing as electrum, a native al
loy with gold, and is also found associ
nted with gold in some of the quartz,
We have had samples of Chloride sil
ver ore brought us for assay, that were
said to have been found m the county
that yielded three hundred ounces sil
ver per ton, but the ore looked very
much as if it had come from some depth
and not as if had been knocked from
croppings as was claimed. Certain lime
stones here are argentiferous, but
whether they contain silver in paying
quantities has noi yet been determined.
We have stibnitc, (sulphide of antimo
ny) sphalerite, (sulphide of zinc) galena,
(sulphide of lead) and magnesite, (car
bonate of magnesia.) Tho various lo
calities where these minerals are found
will be fully described further on, but
before proceeding with this description
it niav be well to here state that the
prospector is generally a man of small
means and may require financial aid in
ihe prosecution of his search, such aid
should be forthcoming and we should
take pride iu helping a deserving man
who gives his time and labor to develop
our latent resources.
DISCOVERY OF GOLD.
It is reported that gold was first dis
covered in Douglas county about the
year 1851 by Col. Wm. Martin, fa
miliarly knewn as "Uncle Billy" Mar
tin, at a point on the South Umpqua
near the mouth of Cow creek, but the
first mining was done at what is known
as the Picayune Diggings' aoout two
miles -- westerly from Canyonville.
These placers were found in a shallow
bed of gravel on a sloping hillside,
drained by Jordan creek, but were not
very extensive or at least not extensive
ly worked, owing -to the expense of
bringing water on the higher portions
of the old gravel channel and the diffi
culty experienced in draining the deep
places, although the diggings are said to
have paid $50 per day to the man. A
continuation of the auriferous gravel
found at this point can be traced wes
terly, although not continuously for
several miles, being fed at different
points by gulches and creeks heading
to the south, all carrying gold and en
riching materially the main channel
where they emptied therein. It is on
the heads of these creeks and gulches
that we find indications of the source
whence came the gold found in their
beds, here is found an abundance of
float qnartz carrying gold in varying
proportions from 5 to $000 per ton.
Occasionally a ledge has been found
and some little work done thereon, but
nothing on a scale of sufficient rnagni-
tude to demonstrate whether the vein I
continues and will pay towork.

THE TELLURIUM MINE.
Where about 25,000 has been expen
ueu in running a tunnel and sinking a
shaft and for other work from which
they never realized a dollar in return,
ihe money expended on tis enterprise
could it have been diverted to some one I
of a dozen other ledges that prospected
well, would have been a boon to the
county instead of a detriment as it has I
proved. The mistake made by this
compauy was in trusting to laemcierri
and inexperienced men; the result of
oue assay is saia to nave been the cause
of all this worthless expenditure. A
similar experience is the case of the
lion Mountain mine in Shasta county
uai. where MUU.OUU was expended be-
fore it was found that the mine would
not pay. '.'The M'ning and Scientific
fress ofJNoy. 20th, deduces the fol-
lowing from their exnerienoe which
may not be out of place here; after
facts, it says, "From this
deplorable event
one or two useful lessons
If 1 1 1 ...
aiay oe gleaned: Jnrat taat it is ex-
trcniely dangerous for those about to
undertake costly mining investments to
reiy solely on the advice and opinions
of any one man, even though he enjoy
a reputation based on a long and sue-
cessrul experience. To rely ona per-
son of limited practice or mediocre
ability is, in such case, altogether neri-
lous, as the parties in question have
found to their cost. Again, $125,000
is too much money to pay for a mine
so nttie proved as this on Iron moun-
tain appears to have been. Then, to
put up a costly mill without some con-
siderable ore developments made, is
always a mistake, while to put up re-
ducticn works of anv kind without
having first determined that they are
adapted for thp work to be done, is
worse than a mistake, since there can
be no possible excuse for it. It is a
matter for astonishment that, with
these fatal blunders reneated vear af-
ter year, that thev should be of such
frequent occurrence! Seeing them so
repeated over and over one is led to
query, will there ever come an end to
them, will ever either the mine. or the
investor learn -whatfcc most people
seems so obviously the dictate of com-
mon sense?" Let U3 hope we shall have
no more such fiascos. In tho imme-
diate vicinity of the Umpqua and Tel-
lurium mines are
A number of locations
That may. with a little work, develone
into something better. The quartz to have been found, but the discoverer
contains gold m paying quantities was is now m the state prison for man
it in larger veins, but an far it occurs slaughter, and his statement must be
in stringers runniim throusrh the coun-
try rock in all directions, varying in
thickness from one to five inches. Sev-
eral claims are staked out on croppings
that show a vein of two feet, among
which may be mentioned those of S.
Riddle, R. Rhodes, G. W. Catching
and Dr. Bates. 3Ii. Riddle has a tun-
nel projected to cut his ledge at a con-
siderable ifinr.h nnrl lias nlrnaclv com-
menced work. Messrs Rhodes, Catch-
ins and Bates also comtemnlatc devel
opins their prospects at an early date,
Crossing the ridsre that divides the

Mitchell creek
We still find large quantities of float
auartz carrving gold: native copper has
also been found on the left hand fork
of Mitchell creek. No prospecting for
quartz of any moment has been done
on the water shed of this creek although
considerable gold was taken from the
bed of the main stream. Messrs Ash
and McWilliams have been engaged for
a number of years in hydraulic mining
in the hills adjacent to this creek with
signal success; they are at present work
ing across the divide on the Russell
creek side. Still further west we find
J ohn Catching located near the bank of
COW CREEK.
Ready for work but waiting for water.
His mining ground is situated on a high
bench affording a good fall for his
sluices; he has worked his ground which
is on his donation claim, for a number
of years, and finds it a profitable diver
sion during the winter months, his at
tention being given to the farm when
sufficient water is not to be had for
mining. Adjoining Mr. Catching's
place is the land of W. L. Wilson on
which is found a continuation of the
deposit worked by the former; no work
is being done here although considera
ble gold has been taken out in years
gone bv, and it is stated on good au
thority that, at least t wo diamonds were
found in a ravine worked for the gold
by Messrs Hughes and Colvig. The
gold found here is in flattened grains,
and is worth $19 per onnce; the wash
from which it 13 obtained is evidently
an old channel of Cow creek. The
bed-iock of the present channel of the
creek has been worked by the Chinese
but with indifferent results. :. Continu
ing up Cow creek we leave the valley
and enter the canyon. About one and
a half miles above the falls is Copper
Flat, where a considerable quantity of
native copper in nuggets was found by
the Chinese when working the bar and
mistaken by them for gold. Still fur
ther up, about the mouth of Buck
creek, is the Little Giant and Rattle
snake copper mines, now idle and aban
doned. Some very good ore was found
hero that yielded an assay 53 per cent
copper, $11.25 gold and $2.19 silver
per ton. Very little work has even
been done but the chances are favora
ble for the discovery of a valuable vein
Just before reaching Union creek is
the mine of J ohn Phelan, a gravel bed.
situated on a point of a mountain about
600 feet above the level of Cow creek
lhe only water that can be obtained to
work this deposit, without a considera
dm outlay, is wnat can be caught in
reservoirs during a rain storm, and with
il
this supply Mr. Phelan manages to
woik about two months in the year and
keep out of debt. The gravel mines of
Messrs Volk. Merriam. Levens. Tuller
and others lie further up stream and
are detached points and hih baisof
the old Cow creek channel not carried
away by the denudation of ages. In
the mountains west of the "bead" of
tho creek, near tho head of Rlllie creek.
is found a fine quality of red hematite
iron ore. Jrassing tnrougu tue upper
Cow creek valley, wc leave the roam
creek and follow up
starve-out creek
On this stream considerable gold has
been and is still being tiken out
Unas. Dweller is working a placer at
the upper end of the creek and showed
us some very fine specimens of heavy
gold taken out last season. A short
distance above this claim is the Green
Mountain Quartz mine, owned by
Messrs Jones, Clarno, Wilson and
others. The main ledsc is about six
feet wide, three feet of it being excel
lent rock, assaying from 10 to $160
per ton. Hie gold is associated with
gelena, pyrite and arsenopyrite. About
six feet from the foot wall thev have
a stringer of calcite that is about three
inches wide and is nearly half gld, from
which they have already taken out
about $15,000. The developments on
this mine consist of three tunnels at
different levels, all in good paying rock;
the a.irrerate lenath oE the tunnels is
about three hundred feet. The vein
has been traced and located for about
five miles but very little work has been
done on 'any of the locations, although
some of them possess considerable nier-
it The Green Mountain ledge crosses
Starve-out creek which was very rich
I immndintalv lwlnw it. nnd nnver paid
anything above, the natural conclusion
arrived at is that this ledire furnished
all the gold to at least the upper por
tion of the creek. The first extension
I . -
south ot tho Green Mountain mine, is
owned by Messrs Clai-no. Johnston and
Murphy; these parties have contracted
for a 100 foot tunnel, sixty feet 0i
I which has already been completed, no
quartz has yet been encountered and it
will probably require a cross cut ot
some length before the ledge is found.
All of the creeks and srulchcs in this
j vicinity have more or less gold and very
little prospecting for quartz has ever
beeu done until lately; but since the
rich strike at the Green Mountain mine,
notices have been posted - on every
quartz boulder within a radius of five
miles and many of the locators are
toasting their shins at the fire, waiting
for the Green Mountain mine to de-
I velop something big. expecting such
development will enhance the value of
every boulder in the district. Leaving
this canip, which by the way, differs
from most mining camp's as reg
hospitality extended to visitors, we
journey on and in due time arrive at
Canyonville
up the south umpqua
More or less gold is found, but no at
tention has been paid to quartz. On
Elk creek is found manganiferous iron
ore, hematite, chrome and a very good
quality of lignite, but no attempt has
been made to determine what quanti
tie3 exist. It is on the diyide bstween
the waters of the South Umpqua and
Evans creek that the rich chloride sil-
ver ore. heretofore mentioned, is said
taken for what it is worth. Coffee
creek has produced considerable
amount of geld as also has Myrtle creek
but no work has ever been done on
quartz. Not being fully conversant
with the different mines on these
streams, we will not attempt a hearsay
description of them; suffice it lo say
that, gold in paying quantities is still
found on both sticatus. The Olalk
country has been long and favorably
known but the production of gold from
this district is now at its minimum, the
llacer3 for the most part being nearly
exhausted. No developments have
ever keen made in quartz.
the north umpo.ua
Has never produced any great quantity
of gold, but what it has pioduced, is of
such a nature that the experienced sil-
ver prospector would give it more than
a passing notice; it is on this stream
that electrum, a native alloy of gold
and silver has been found, its value be
ing only $13 per ounce. Expeiicnce
has shown that wherever this grade of
gold has been found, intelligent search
has resulted in the discovery of very
rich silver ledges. In tho mountains
near the head of this river ii found a
very fine quality of antimony ore
(stibnitc) zinc blende being also found.
THE QUICKSILVER MINES
In the neighborhood of Oakland have
produced varying amounts of that met
al from time to time, but are at present
idle; some very rich cinnabar and the
rare mineral mctacinnabarito havd been
found tit these mine?, but from some
cause they have not proved profitable.
THE NICKEL MINES
Are situated on what is known as Piney
or Nickel mountain about three miles
west of Riddle station. The on at
these mines consists of two varieties,
nonmeite and garnierite, both hydrated
silicates of nickel and magnesia, carry
ing respectively 30 and 24 per cent of
nickel oxide; occurring with the nickel
ores, is a very good quality of chromic
iron. The ore in bulk will average five
per cent of metallic nickel. The de
velopments consist of numerous cuts,
adits, shafts and quarries and ore is
found scattered over an area of 1000
acres. About 2000 tons of five per
cent ore is already on the various dumps
and thousands of tons in sight. The
ore occurs in beds or deposits and caps
the country rock, which is a magnesian
formation of altered serpentine; these
beds or deposits lie parallel with the
slope of the mountain and average
about six feet in thickness. Nothing
like a vein or ledge formation has yet
been encountered. A good wagon road
has been constructed between the upper
and lower workings of the mine, a dis
tance of three miles. The property is
owned by San Francisco parties, who
ptobably understand what they are
about, but it is a mystery to many, why
they will allow the property to remain
idle, when with the present price of
nickel at 75 cents per pound and all
'acilities for cheap extraction and re
duction of ore are at Baud, a small
amount invested in plant would insure
large return on tho investment.
Nickeliferous pbyrrotite has been found
on Upper Dads creek, but the quantity
has never vet been determined:
m j
leceived from there contained two per
cent nickel, two and a half per cent
copper and one half of one per cent
cobalt. This is the ore from whih all
the nickel, hitherto produced in the.
United States has been obtained, being
found in large quantities in Lancas
ter county Pa. wheic it i3 run into a
matte containing ten per cent nickel;
this product is shipped Co the company's
woiks at uamacn jx. j. and there re
fined. Chrome is found in different
parts of the county; notably in town-
ships oO south, range 6 and 7 west.
One or two prospect holes have been
gouged out ui this ore, but no system
atic prospecting has ever been done.
in conclusion
It is safe to assert that, on no other
portion of the Pacific Coast, has there
been done so littlo prospecting of
practical nature, as in that portion
bounded by the Cascades on tho east,
the Coast range on the west, the Cala-
pooia mountains on the north and the
Siskiyous on the. south, embracing the
counties of Douglas, Jackson and
Josephine. Speaking for our own coun
ty we can state without fear of contra
diction that the field for. .the prospector
is new and inviting and intelligent la
bor will receive its just reward.

Curry county is situated in the southwest
corner of the state. Its extent from north to
south is about 72 miles, and Us average width
is aliout 34 miles. It has an area of about
2,448 square miles, beinc larger than the state
of Delaware and twice the sue of Rhode Island.
The chniate is remarkably healthful and invisr-
oratinj;. It is subject to noextremes: The
average temperature of w inter is 42". and of
summer, 66 .
1 he natural resources ol Curry county can
be surpassed by no county in the state in
many respects. 1 ne ianu in tins county is
destined in tunc to be extremely valuable, not
only on account of its contiguity to the sea
port of Oregon, but on account ol its exceed
mg fertility. The farming lands is not so ex
tensive as it is in some counties in the state,
but the quality ot the soil where it is culti
vated, can not be excelled. It is admirable
for vegetables, root crops, and above all for
stock raising and dairy products. The for
ests constitute a great source of wealth . They
embrace cenar, yellow and red fir, spruce
hemlock, myrtle, ash, oak, and maple in inex-
haustablc quantities. The cedar is of the
choicest quality, free from knots and rot
The fir has no equal on the coast. The
myrtle, ash, ami maple can be found on all
the creeks and river !ottoms. The minerals
are gold, copper and coal. Placer and beach
mining is carried on extensively in different
portions of the county. The streams abound
with fish, and the forests are filled with gam
.bllensbur!?, the county seat, and the most
important town in the county, situated on the
south bank of Rogue river half a mile above
its mouth, was named alter Ellen, the young
est of Capt . Tichenors two daughters, who
were the first two white girls in the county.
h, llensburg is quite a noted seaport town.
Rogue river is a rapid and turbulent stream.
1 we water extends only tour miles from its
mouth, at which point it reaches and is
stopped by the first rapids.
The entrance is good for light-draft vessels
say not to exceed 100 tons vessels drawing
not over eight feet of water. A reef two
miles north of the main land forms a shelter
to the entrance. The bar is short, seldom be
ing more than one breaker, and there are no
rocKS in tne way. in southern gales the sea
do not set in as heavy as they Uo at the CV
qullle, Coos bay or Umpqua...
Among the industries of this place is the
unsurpassed salmon fishery, Mr. K. D. Humes'
canning and packing establishment. The
present year Mr. Hume paid $965.25 taxes
on his property in Ellensburg. A trrcat ixr
tion of the land in the vicinity of Ellensburg
tonsists of rolling prairies adapted to loth
agricultural and qra.ing purposes. -Wool
growing is a branch of industry which meets
with gratifying, success in this region, and the
quality of fine wool raised for shipment in
creases yearly.
Port Orford, the oldest town in the county,
and the second in importance, is 19 miles north
of Ellensburg. Port Orlord was founded in
1S51 by Capt. Wm. Tichenor. The site is
salubrious, and affords a fine view of the ocean
and the surrounding country, which enlivened
by a variety of evergreens, presents even in
winter a lovely landscape. Tort Orlord liar
bor is situated in latitude 42" 45' north,
longitude 124 30 west. ! It is the most
westerly port on the American coast, south of
Alaska. It is the best and most capacious
roadstead or summer harbor between San
"Francisco and I'tiget Sound. If is just mid
way between the two places, and is 220 miles
south ol the Columbia river. It is a deep,
oroaa uay, having on tne west and north a
headland, perpendicular on the harlxlr side,
350 feet altitude. The bottom is sand and
mud, clear and free, and gives good-anchorage.
A quarter ol a mile outside of the extreme
south point of the heads the water deepens
rapidly, "anil soon attains a great depth, the
effect of which is to prevent heavy ground
swells setting in at tfie roadstead, lhe har
bor is three miles broad; there is no sunken
rocks; all the dangers are above water. The
bay is effectually protracted on three sides by
high and prominent land.' The heads arc for
med of most durable rock, with bold water
from four to seven fathoms immdiately against
them. JNoilhwCjjt fogs seldom enter tho road
stead of Port Orford, a peculiarity which dis
linguistics it from all other harbors south of the
Columbia. A majority of the board of the
Pacific Coast Engineers decided that this was
the proper place to construct the harbor of
relugc that it possessed more natural advan
tages than any other place between San Fran
cisco an.l the Straits of Fuca. The ligation
for building a breakwater north of San Fran
Cisco has been permanently settled, and Tort
Orford js the point . A wall constructed in a
line east by south from the extreme southerly
point of the heads, four hundred yards in
length, would at any and every season of the
year protect fifty vessels ofthelarircst size, and
would answer the demands of commerce for
many years. The cost of building the wall is
estimated at. $3,000,000. II creater accom
modalion should be required in the future, the
the wall could be extended a mile and a half.
leaving then sufficient space for vessels of the
largest burden "to round to," take in sail and
come to anchor in any gale, with no fear of a
lee shore. Congress has already appropriated
$150,000 for the commencement of the con
struction of a port of refuge at this place, and
it is to be hoped that the work will soon le
trin, and pushed to its early completion.
No point on the coast would become one of
such local importance as Tort Orford if the
asylum was built there, owing to its surround
ings and natural resources. There should be
a railroad from the valley to that point for the
purpose of shipping grain n large bottoms to
any mart in the world, and save transhipping
in San Francisco, which is the case when
shipped from any port on the Oregon coast ex
cept from the Columbia river.
The population of Curry county is 1230,
Inhabitants about one lb every two square
miles. Owing to the want of a wagon road into
the interior of the state, she pays tribute al
most exclusively to California. In the hands
of Californians she is much like an orange;
they are squeezing out the juice and leaving
Oregon the rind. This would be overcome in
a great measure if there were roads through
the country. Her population would be much
larger to-day if she had wagon roads. The
few inhabitants cannot afford to devote all their
time to road labor. Curry has done well m
regard to road matters leing as sparsely se'-
tled as she is. Her citizens deserve much
credit for constructing bridges across her turb
ulent streams, which has been attended with
much difficult work and great expense. There
is no wagon road from Port Orford to Chctco,
a distance of sixty-five miles.- A petition to
the legislature is being extensively circulated
at this time, and numerously signed by her
gon road between the two places. I hope
people asking ior $20,000 to construct a wa-
that the legislators will act favorably upon
their petition by granting their request. It
would be only a short time before the state
would be fully reimbursed. 1'eopie wouia
flock into the county, ilcvolopemenis te made
new enterprises spring up, and m a few
years she would have a population of thousands
where she has only numircus ai present.
The material is there. There i a bright out
look fur remote Curry in the near future.
