District.
Mayflower Mining Company is
pushing development work on its
properties in the Ilnhitnia district,
and the members of the company j
have every confidence thai it wil' '
ultimately prove to he one of the
best paying mines in that enmp. '
W. P. Kly. of Kelso, Wash., is in '
Portland today, and the other j
principal holders of stock are John
A. Heck mid Mr. Carlson, of Port-1
land. ;
For a number of years the com-'
pany mis been doing development j
work on its group of claims, and ill
has been rewarded by opening tip j
ores of promising values. It lias,
baeu rumored that the company in-1
tended soon to put a stamp mill on i
the property, but the management
disclaims such intention until more
ore is blocked out.
L. N. Kouey, of Eugene, ex
cellent commander of the Oregon
Cotninaudcry Knights Templar, ar
rived in Portland this morning, and
will go to Uakcr City tonight to
institute a new commaudcry. He
will be accompanied by a party of
Portland Knights Templar. The
Millionaire mine, of the Gold Hill
district, a property in which Port
land people are interested, is
making n splendid showing with
development. Iioth day and night
shifts are employed, nnd two shifts
.ire being driven on the two ledges.
A steam hoist is used to facilitate
development work.' The operating

()p) Mill Probably Running'
The Opp io-stamp mill Is sup
posed to he In operation by this
time, giving to Jacksonville, the
scene of the very first mining in
Oregon, a modem plant for re
ducing quartz. Dr. J. V Ucddy
returned from Spokane early Mon
day, nnd thought that by the end
of tins week the plant would be
running. Everything lias been
done to make the run continuous,
after the plant has been tested, and
the owners believe that early next
year they will be enlarging the
mill to at least double its present
capacity.
Treatment
Kates in the
Days"
"Good Old
A lot of rot appears from time to
time with reference to the snielttn,
some papers asking its readers to
believe that the smellers arc slowly
strangling the mining industry. As
a matter of fact, the reverse is ex
actly the case for rates have steadily
declined, while the grade of ore has
decreased and the tonnage irtatid
has increased.
These statements may be voarified
by reference to the books of any
mining company which has been
shipping for 20 or 30 years.
If the smelters returned to the
rates of the "good old days" (?)
there would be a howl on the part
of shippers that would awaken the
echoes.
A few statements as to rates that
existed in the so called "palmy
days" of the state are herewith set
forth:
In 1879, when silver was selling
at $r. 18 an ounce, the smelters paid
the producers 6 cents an ounce on
ore running 30 ounces to the ton'
and 79 cents an ounce net on 108-
ouuee silver ore, while 1,000-ounce
ore only broualu 3S cents nn ounce
net. Lead was paid (or only when
over 25 per cent, and at one time
nothing less than one-quarter ounce
in cold was paid for. Two-ounce
gold ore only brought $20 net.
Copper was paid for after first de
ducting one ounce of silver for each
per cent of copper. Six-ounce gold
ore oulv paid the producer $50. In
1S78 ore that contained 1,159
ounces silver and 30 per cent lead
netted $630.10 per ton the treat
ment and transportation charges
being S5O7.S9. Then it cost $S to
$9 per ton to haul ore from Silver
Plume to Georgetoyn, from tho
Pelican mine; the same ore is haul
ed to Denver for $1.50 per ton now.
The Terrible mine shipped from
upper Clear Creek four and one
half tons of ore that yielded $1,971 ,
The treatment charges were $669.
These figures are taken from the
books of the company.
Compare these figures with the
treatment charges of five years ago,
a year ago todays Ore that the
smelters would not make a bid on
in the "good old days" are now
purchased nt a profit to the miner.
Under the present system, with
reduced expenses and advanced
metallurgical methods, it is possible
to treat ores at a profit that were
discarded a few years back.
Were the American Smelting &
Refining Company to go out of
business and the smelters all return
to the old basis, treatment charges
would be raised to the old schedule
necessary to meet the increased ex
penses of separate operation of
the different plants.
A return to the old days would
mean a tax on the output of the
mines that would over-burden them
and would meet with protests on all
sides. Ores and Metals.
Zinc Production of Colorado
Tho incroasod production of ziuo
in Colorado is a matter of comment
011 all sides. In 1882 tho stato
producod 30.7oTi short tons; in 18i)0,
0:),8(i!l short tons, and in 1003, 159,
210 short tons (including 3,302 short
tons of dross spqltor.) In his re
port to tho Qological Survoy for
1003 Cliarlos Kirchoff dovolos
ospcciul attention to tho increased
zinc production of this stato as
follows;
Colorado appeaiH for tho first timo
aa a producer of speller, the plant
of tho United Statos Zinc Company
at Puoblo, Colo., controlled by tho
American Smelting & Refining
Company, haing started during tlio
yonr. Tlio production of .ine oxido
for 1!H)1 is estimated at 110,121,100
pounds, exclusive of the lead-z:n-pigineut
mndo directly from the
ores by the United States Itoduction
& Ileflning Company of Canon City
Colo., winch amounted to 4.050,000
pounds. Tiiis plant was increased
by ubout 50 per cent during the
your, but was in operation only
about two-thirds of tho timo on nc
oount of a tiro ut the works. Increas
ing quantities of zinc ores and con
centrates are coming from a number
of cutups in the Kocky Mountain
regiou. Leadville )uu continued its
shipments a goodly ulmi o even going
to Iho zinc Hineltiug plant at Pueblo
Kokomo, Rico and Creed contribute
to Colorado't, total.
Tho imports of zfne for 1903 wero
valued at -10,810, against $1,103,018
in 1873, while the imports of zinc
(unmounted to (11,221,738, against
$15,000 in 1873, showing a remark
able growth in the industry. Ores

Faltlt In District Between Blue River
and Bohemia Expressed.
'Gold-producing quartz ledges
will yet be opened up and devel

mountain territory between the
Blue River and Rohemia mining
district," said George A. Wag
goner, ex-railroad commissioner,
lrom Corvallis, in Portland last
night. "Good prospects in quartz
have been found in the mountain
district 15 miles south of the Blue
River, district proper, and it is evi
dent the mineral belt extends all

Mr. Waggoner says the best
paying property in the Blue River
district at present is the Great
Northern, now being operated by
Sharkey under, a bond. The bond
runs for three years, and the pur
chase price is to be $50,000. The
ote is free milling, and is compara
tively soft. The rock is ground up
in a two-stamp mill at small ex
pense, one man hauling the ore
from the mine on a sled, and two
others feed and operate the machi
nery. It is known that they have
cleaned up as high as $125 per day,
and it is confidently believed Mr'
Sharkey will take out enough
money to pay for tha mine by the
time the bond expires. Telegraml
Streak of Good Ore.
i Frnnk Fisher, a Bohemia miner
1 has come down from the Redside
group of three claims 011 the south
side of Monte Rico ridge, owned
by himself and W. H, Shane. The
new drift recently started on the
main ledge is in over 50 feet and
the drift face is solid quartz. With
in the last few weeks a streak
about 15 inches wide on the foot
wall has been followed, which is
more than one-fourth mineral sul
phides. It is a blue-gray quartz
and looks to be rich.
The Lost Boy tunnel on this
group is over 100 feet in ore, aud
work here will be continued during
the winter. Oregon Daily Journal.

Will Amend I.tyior Law.
Evening Telafram.
Amendment of the local option
law to the extent of providing
that hereafter all liquor elections
shall be held on the precinct basis
will likely be effected at the next
session of the Oregon Legislature.
On every hand is heard a demand
for legislation of this kind, and an
amendment will be undertaken by
a bill to that effect. Reliable in
formation has it that if such an
amending bill is introduced it will
become pf rt ol the local option la-.
There is even heard a rumor
that an effort may be made to re
peal the law, but now that the act
is a decree of the people it is not
regarded as probable that the Leg
islature will take it upon itself to
set it aside, but rather to amend it
into a local option ict, and j ive
the people that for which th.y
thought they were voting when t:i"
law was carried at the polls. 'I he
fact that many reg. r led the meas
ure as a purely precinct option act
and woke up to find that it was
after all a prohibition law, when
their votes had been cast, would,
so many of the Legislators th nk
justity them in amending the law
as the peoples' representatives, to
conform to that which it was origi
nally believed to be.
Members of the Multnomah dele
gation say they have heard much
discussion regarding an amendment
since the election, and it comes
from a pretty authoritative source
that a bill will be introduced and
that it will come from Multnomah
County.
