Eloquent Tribute to the Searchers After
Gold Cornucopia Note?.
Cobkivoi'ia, April 2,1S39.
EniTou Fcout :
0n noticeable fact about, the ledges
of this district is that they are not
What is c.dled iy miners "spotted."
You do not find a ledge niarvoloiisly
rich in one place anil within a stone..'
j throw therefrom find a barren spot.
J Great care has been taken to arrive at
j a general assay, and out of one hun
j dred and forty ledges tested some by
' battery and some by ollice assay was
, found to bo $tf.."0 to the ton.
! ) staled in my first communication,
! that no location fell below oue dollar.
! In this I was a little in error, as three
1 large, cins produced but sixty cents,
while the balance ot the one hundred
and forty went from ten dollars up to
'thousands. In the cabinets, of which
there are thieo or more in Cornucopia,
a piece of ore not showing free gold,
is the exception. Col. Gilmoie, or
rather Mrs. Col. G. has a collection of
specimens which would inspire a
kleptomaniac's mind with an increased
passion for appropriating to his own
use. The next collection, though not
so large as the former, contains equally
rich ores, the property of W. II. Brown,
and there is hardlv a cabin in town
that has not gold bearing rock mixed
ui on the shelves and copboard with
tin dishes snd earthen-ware. You do
not feel the necessity of straining your
eyes through a magnifying glass to sec
the precious metal, either, in those col
lections. The assays above noted were made
by two different gentlemen, each by
himself, so there could have been no
.collusion or "salting." I promised to
name the different locations, but fear
J was laying out too much ground, as
a celebrated but excentric Nov York
jurist remarked to a very verbose at
torney, 1 made my Johnny-cako too
broad for my platter.
The deposits ot" metal also seem to
have run in groups, which by general
consent and custom, bear the names
of the principal mines in each group,
lience we find first and nearest town
iu a northeast direction the
CONTACT G!0t;i
This group lies between the cast and
woet forks of Bine creek, on Bed moun
tain. This mountain is very steep on
the southern slope, and the ledges are
held by contact walls of slate and
granite, a most favorable location.
There are in this group twenty-five or
thirty locations, with seven leading or
proved mines named as follows: "The
Contact," "Harvest (Jucon," "Oregoni
an," "Gold Wing," "Treasure Vault,"
"Grey Jacket" and "Garnet Queee."
The '"Contact" vein is live feet in
width and can be traced on the sur
face for a distance (if forty-five hun
dred feet. At the southeast base runs
one branch of Pine creek, in which
there in sullicient water for all milling
purposes, with ample dumpage. A
tunnel can tap the ledgo at 2,000 feet
below the surface. The other ledge
have a sullicient amount of develop
ment work to show their similarity and
equal value to the "Contact." The
ore from all these ledges is of high
grade both in free gold and sulphurots.
v. stuin r.uori', on kimmons moi'.ntain.
This group consists of tho "Norway,"
"Aurora" and "Home Stake." At the
foot of the "Norway" is an arastra
which has for some time given satis
factory letuxns to iU owners. On each
of these lodges is a tunnel 125 feet in
length. The ledges are from four to
seven foot in width. The walls t ru of
granite, and serpentine. Average as
says have been from ten to twenty
dollars. Enough gold is taken ouUind
yielded by the arastra to pay the ex
penses of prospecting this group of
veins. There are several other claims
in this district, all of more or less
merit.
THK StMMONfi C'.HOUI', l'UOI'KK.
There are five locations in thii
group on which has been made largo
developments. Theso ledges bear the
names of "Pino Creek," "Check Mate,"
"Empire," "Keystone" ami "Buckeye."
There is a shaft ou tho "Buckeye" two
hundred feet in depth, and one on the
"J'ine Creek" of three hundred feet,
all the way in ore yielding from twelve
dollars up into the thousands. The
fortunate owners of tliw property are
Litcheuthaler, .Simmons t Williamson.
These ledges can bo traced on the sur
face for the whole distance and are
strong and well defined. Ou the same
mountain, south, is another group, iu
which aoiiear the "Blue Bell," "Monte
Christo." "Mountain View." "Mav i
Flower" ami "state," of which the lat- i
tor was mentioned in my last letter, i oz. in goin ami a.tifiwi i. in suver.
All these locations havo shafts from Concentrates in gold, 15 oz ; iu i-ilver,
lift v to one hundred feet. I have sotn 51.25-100 oz. This ledge the "''rofcn
ore from thuto veins literally spangled Point," on tho surface, is fifty feet wide,
with gold. The metal is both fruo and i and ib bituated six miles east of Corn
Niilphurels. J ueopJa. Basmn.
mont of Watches, CI'
THK MONITOR.
The alwc mine is situated about
three- hundred feet northeast of the
"Bed Jacket." Tho lodg.' is from two
to three feet in width. The ore on the
surface assays from IS to ."0 oxs. in
gold. The ledtie stands nearly per
pendicular, with walls of porphyry and
slate. It lies midway between .the
"Bed Jacket" and "Iist Chance."
The "Last Chance" has lately changed
hands, and at an early day will have a
Huntington crusher in full blast. The
"Monitor" is the property of Mr. K. L.
Cochran. This is a regular mountain
of quarts.
COMPANION AND KM MKT MINK!.
The "Companion" on the west and
"Bobert. Knitnet" on the cast of the
"Hed Jacket" are generally believed to
be extentious of the latter. The ore
is Minilar in character, with like walls
and are well defined and strong. A
good quantity of work has been done
on the "Companion," and for some
j time the mill was supplied from its
1 shaft.
; You will notice that in my dcrip
! tions there is a very marked similarity,
i almost amounting to a redundancy of
! expression. I can't help it. It is all
1 true, and if any reader has doubts, he
' can dispel them by taking Dick Grif-
iin s stage line at Union, and coming
to Cornucopia. The routo, by the
way. is over the best mountain road
which it has been my fortune to strike
for many a year, and ever since I
caught the miners' distemper 1 have
been on the "go." The time from
Union, when the roads are good, is
about ten hours. The finest and pur
est water bubbles from innumerable
springs, trickles down the mountain
sides, or rushes like thb falls of Lodore
down the canvons. Ever and anon on
the eastern portion of the journey, the
i monotony of travel is relieved by
glimpses of farm housvs man's crea
ted architecture thrown in indiscrimi
nately with nature's handiworks I
w.is always a lover of natureS carpen
try the .rougher the better. It ele
vates and purifies the mind removes
it from the contact and contempla
tion of evil. When in a crowded city,
struggling in the marts of trade, and
racking his brain to accumulate gold
bv shrewd devices, or overreaching his
j neighbor, or taking advantage of his
1 necessities, man loses his manhood
i and almost unconsciously becomes a
' faithful follower in the groat army of
shylocks. Not so with the miner who
1 searches in nature's vault for virgin
gold. Every effort, every failure, every I
success, but carries his mind to the i
great power which left tho covered i
treasures in his pathway. An infidel i
scoffer or irreligionist has a lonesome
tuno around the prospoctors camp
fire. He is forced lo commune with
himself, tho most of company.

EOtTOH OrKOON Pt'Ot'T:
Our vessel has been dodging around
among the islands and rock dills of
the Archipelago for a day and a half.
It ii a very dangerous journey from
Athens to Constantinople. The sea
is very much broken up by dill's and
islands and to steer dear oi bars and
shallows a ship has tn be careful. Feb
ruary in this climate is of a verydill'ei
ent temperature from our Oregon Feb
ruarys. It is very pleasant and com
fortable. The Greeks(tlie better class)
are thrifty, industrious, ambitious.
They aro impulsive and warm-blooded ;
ever alert for something of an ex
citing nature to turn up, and always
bold and daring in the warmest and
most stirring scenes. They are nearly
all busy at various trades and vocations.
Mosa of tbe rural ones are engaged in
currant-culture or in the cultivation
of fruits of the many southern varieties.
Greek country life is delightful. One
could ask no more than to be a farmer
in this country. The sun is not too
warm to be pleasant, and the evenings
are cool breezy, delightful and mvigo
ratintr. The many profuse and beau
I t if ill flowers and shrubs, the plants
and fruit brush that blossom in the
hedges, near the houses by tho foot
path give an aromatic freightage to tho
air that is wild and indescribable in its
freshness and miritv. The skies aro
never, or scarcely ever clouded. One
deep and animated blue from day to
day. The hum of the laborers in the
field, and the children that cluster at
tho houses mingle with tho mellow
hush of the evening, and make an on-
trancing' melodv for hnn who is not
used to this country and its many lit
tle delicacies. The green islands dot
ted here and there in the Archipelago
are covered nearly the year 'round in
a coat of verdant herbage.
We passed through tho passage that
connects the sea of Marmosa with the
Black sea the Dardanelles, about
sunset. It was an imposing picture.
The sun iut sinking down behind the
I far oft' cliffs of the Balkans; tho nar-
row waterway for the trade and tralhc
of the Uast to oass through : the hills
on one side that slope away far as the
twilight shade would allow us to see
on the other a greener sticu'h of up
land studded with streaks of sunlight
and clothed in a coat of fruitage; that
elfsamc, t-oft and mellow stillness that
inevitably comes with a Grecian twi
light, which reminds one of what Ed
gar Poo has said iu the "Ba veil :"
"Suddenly the air grew denser,
Perfumed by some unseen center
Swung by seraphim whoso foolfalls
Tinkled on the tufted floor."
Long briars, tho names of which wo
did not learn, aro numerous here.
The sea of Marmora gradually widens
out from the upper end of tho narrow
sti'ait. We steam fastly by the city
Uodiosto on tho northern coast. It is
on a sloping hill and a good view of
tho entire city is had from the sea, two
or three miles distant. Far off to tho
right in Turkey in Asia, towers that
grand old cak of which ancient and
legendary history tolls us so much
Mount Olympus. We can just seo
her standing in relief against tho hori
zon as it i-i about dark when wo pass
tho point of view from the sea.
Morning dawns and finds our vessel
softly swaying up and down at anchor
oil Constantinople. Tins is a grand
oitv. It is magnificent in its regular!
ty. It is ou the strait of Bosphorus,
and one can just see the sinoko and
some steeples from tho opposite sido of
tho strait. The Turks differ from tho
Grcoks but very little, that is tho bet
tor class of Turks. Of courso they aro
nol so fair nor active as tho Greek,
and are more sluggish iu manners.
Horse-, aio m-oii hero more frequent
ly than iu Greece. Tho Turk is fond
of his horse, and his mug of good, gen
uine Much coffee. Tho Turkish shop
keepers and merchants sit fiat on tho
floor of their office and sip coffeo like
their dark lined neighbor not ninny
thousand miles away sips his "Young
Hyson Tea" and trolln his sleopy gib
borage. A loose cap, or turban of
light texture, is the heud dress, and
very loose, sack-liko garments for tho
body. Delicately made sandals shield
the feet from tho warm pavements
and sands of Turkey and Turkish
cities. This city has astraugo history.
Jt was formerly called Byzantium, but
this was changed lo Constantinople in
honor of Constantino, (ho first Roman
governor who accepted tho faith
hatched up during the most prosper
ous M-riod of Buna, known as Chris
tianity. It is said as (his emperor was
marching at the head of his legions one
day, at noon, a flaming crors, bright
Mild luminous', appeared to him in the
sky, bearing tho motto, "In hoo siguo
sniei,,." (lu this sign wo conquer.)
st received by A.N.
The fiction accomplished its purpose.
After many strange and solemn ex
periences in the routine of govern
ment. Constantino X 1 1 1 ascended the
throne of the Eastern Empire, in M IS,
the last tottering fragments of what
had been the Imperial.
In 1151 Mohammed II succeeded to
the Ottoman throne and at once began
to ttnderinino the crumbling ramparts
of tho Eastern capital Constantinople.
He made treaties of peace with Con
stantino, and at the same time sent
forces to erect a fort within sight of
the capital. Vain were tho. solemn
piotosts of Constantino. In April,
115U, a large Turkish force was con
voyed across the Bosphorus and the
cities aud villages aroung Constantino
ple were totally destroyed. The inva
ders wore two hundred and fifty
thousand strong, the invaded about
one hundred thousand. Most all the
people in the besieged city woro schol
ars, priests, mechanics, scions of an
attenuated nobility, and women. Tho
walls of the Eastern capital now
quaked beneath the blows of batteries
of the Prophet. The millions of Bel
isarius had dwindled to the masque
rade of a handful of quarrelling pup
pets. Tho Greeks in Constantinople
still, amid the battlo cry of the Infidel,
found time to fight among themselves
over tho ioft of her onco j01"101115
name.
At last 'ho fall came. Tho temples
of (Jrecce were no longer her own, but
had degenerated into hands that tho
proud Grecian, scorned as being un
holy. Constantino fought liko a tiger to
tho last. Ho threw away his purplo
that ho might be able to find asoldier's
death. He fell at last in tho blood
and dust of his own streets. As his
spirit went forth with a wail, tho poor
ghost of Imperial power disappeared in
the smoke. The last pulse of tho Old
civilization of mankind broke with a.
feeble tluttor from tho dying heart of
the East, and the great drama of tho
Bonmn Empire was at an cud. As
the sun arose, tho golden cresent of
tho Arabian Prophet was scon lifted
abovo tho gilded domes of St. Sophia.
