And now it appears that not
only Bohemia and Blue river in
Lane county abound in gold, silver,
copper and other minerals, but new
discoveries and the development
thereof gives authentic report that
Lane county is amply supplied
with mineral deposits, even to the
very edge of the Willamette
valley.
lfor a number of years croppings
of coal have been discovered at
various places throughout Lane
county, some about Cottage Grove,
Eugene, and down on the Siuslaw
river. However no one has looked for
gold quartz to be brought con
spicuously to the front in the lower
foot-hills of the Willamette valley,
but a Nugget man was informed
through reliable sources a few days
ago that parties were at work
upon a newly discovered ledge a
few miles south of Eugene and

depth of some 20 feet had assayed
as high as S20 a ton, and that de
velopment work was going right
along.
The latest discovery which is at
tracting considerable attention just
now comes from a short distance
from Creswell a thriving little
town about twelve miles north of
Cottage Grove on the Southern Pa
cific railroad.
Mr. J. M. Sherwood, proprietor
of the Hotel Sherwood, of this city,
was a visitor to that town last
Friday, and upon his return he
brought several specimens of very
rich ore from the newly discovered
ledge, and irom that gentleman
the Nugget man is iudebted for
the following:
Some time ago after a small
freshet, a number of pieces of
mineralized rock were picked up in
a little draw on the farm ot Zeuiker
and Ruggles, consisting of 1700
acres. This discovery set the
Messrs. Zeniker and Ruggles at
work prospecting and a well de
fined ledge was soon discovered
which, it is said can be traced for
a distance of two miles by the
croppings. Development work was
immediately commenced and upon
assaying it was found that the sur
face rock weut $4 to the ton and at
a depth of twenty-five feet it
assayed $22 to the ton.
No one has ever thought of
prospecting in the vicinity in which
this development work is going on,
but it is now demonstrated beyond
a doubt that Lane county is
destined to become a great mining
center.
It is said the work has pro
gressed to a depth of about 28 feet,
and 10 feet on the tunnel. The
ledge runs north and south directly
opposite to those of the Bohemia
district.
A story is told that some 10
years ago au old miner was stopping
in the neighborhood of Creswell
and one day while roaming over
the hills he picked up some rock
which attracted his attention nnd
retaining n piece, later on, after
having left there he guve it into
the hands of an assayer who after
making the assay, questioned him
as to where he obtained it, saying
that if he had enough of that class
of ore he would have as good a
thing as he need want. The
miner took the hint and returned
to Creswell and did his best to re
trace his steps to the place where
he found the specimen he gave the
assayer, but could not locate the
place again. He knew that it was
in a little branch near an old house
but as he did not give it much at
tention at the time, and being a
stranger in the locality he did not
take his bearings. It is said that
the work now going on is thought
to be in the identical spot where
the miner 10 years ago picked up
the rock that promised so much.
Miners are beginning to cast
their eyes Bohemiaward, and as
soon as the weather will permit,
work will be pushed in that rich
mining district in a manner that is
sure to bring about most satis1
factory results. As an old miner
said the other day. As far as the
quality and quantity of gold pro
ducing ore is concerned, no dis
coveries of recent date can surpass
to any extent those developed in
the Bohemia camps; but the diffi
culty heretofore has been the in
ability of those who were the first
to prospect in the Bohemia district
to interest capital. As everyone
knows who knows anything at all
about mining, it takes capital to
bring a mining district to the front
and make investments there
profitable. With one or two ex
ceptions capital thus far is an un
heard of thing in the Bohemia
camps,, but in those instances
where capital has been secured, no
failures have been made, and every
camp that has been sufficiently de
veloped to cause one to expect re
turns at all, dividends have been
realized.
Superintendent J. W. Cook, ot
the Musick mine, who arrived in
Cottage Grove a few days ago will
go into the mines as soon as the
weather settles and will have thi
new 10-stamp mill under full
blast by the first of June- Pros-
pecting has been going on at the
Musick all winter and Superin
tendent Cook is very much pleased
with the result.
In an interview with Superm1
tendent Cook a reporter was iti
formed that he was of the opinion
that prospects were very bright for
the Bohemia camp, that they were
gradually growing in popularity,
and that mining men throughout
the several cities he had visited the
past winter were beginning to take
au active interest in them, and as
it is authentically stated that the
development work shows a grade
of ore at least on a par with the
other great mines of the county, he
can see no reasou why capital once
directed this way will not become
fastened in the mines and produce
the results long desired.
The following miners who have
beeu visiting in Cottage Grove
for some time returned to Bohemia
this week: Jack Klopensteine,
Henry Johnson, Al Buyrne, Al
White, Will Leeses, and Ed Jenks,
foreman of the Noonday. Goo'd
luck to you, gentlemen.
