Metal Production in Oregon.
In Oregon, according to Chas.
G. Yale, of the United States
Geological Survey, the total value
of the mine production of gold,
silver and copper in 1910 was
$700,676, against $827,001 in
1909, which, however, also in
cludes the value of the lead pro
duced in that year. The ore
treated in 1910 was 82,132 short
tons against 59,281 tons in 1909.
The production of gold decreased
from $781,961 in 1909 to $679,488
in 1910: that of silver increased
from 27,827 fine ounces, valued
at $14,470 to 35,978 fine ounces,
valued at $19,428; that of copper
fell off from 235,000 pounds,
valued at$30,550 to 13,861 pounds
valued at $1,760, and that of lead
declined from 400 pounds in 1909
to nothing in 1910. Baker Coun
ty led in gold production with an
output of $401,002 mostly from
deep mines, followed by Jose
phine with $150,018 from both
placers and deep mines. All of
the copper production and 29,835
ounces of the silver output also
came from Baker County whose
output of gold, silver and copper
was valued at $418,873 in 1910.
The combined gold output from
southwestern Oregon in 1910 was
$209,324, of which $130,103 was
placer gold. Tne placer gold out
put of this region decreased $55,
149 in 1910. The mines of north
eastern Oregon produced $470,
161 in gold in 1910, of which the
placer yield was $10,822 and the
deep-mine yield $429,342. The
placers of this region showed an
increase of $4,756 in 1910 and the
deep mines a decrease of $42,311.
