Hasel Kruger Uta office News Notes From Powers The Sentinel recently came across a bulletin from the Department of the Interior regarding the deposits of gold and other minerals in southwest­ ern Oregon. The bulletin was issued last year, and contains reference to the mineral deposits of Coos county, although the geologists of the depart­ ment appeared to believe that Joseph­ ine, Jackson, Curry and a portion of Core county contained the greater smount of valuable deposits, although the Coos portion was said to be adja­ cent to Curry. Just how much of this report agrees with the public statements of Doe Fitzgerald that Coquille la in the een- ter of the richest known mineral belt in the United States, we cannot say, but the report does coincide with hie statement in its declaration that in Western Oregon "the day of the crude (placer mining) methods is part." Below we quote what the govern­ ment geologists reported: Ever since placer mining began in Oregon, about 1852, near Jacksonville, the southwestern part of the State has been known as a gold-producing re­ gion. Its early history includes the usual period of rapidly succeeding discoveries, gold rushes, and booms, followed by less intense but steadier activity. The smaller units, which at first constituted separate placer mines, were later combined into larger holdings, and the cruder processes of mining gave place to more efficient hydraulic methods. Although les» ac­ tive than formerly, hydraulic mining has continued without interruption to the present time and has exceeded quartz mining as a source of the gold produced. At times in the last 20 years dredging has been attempted, but until the last two years it has not been carried on continuously for any 'onaideraWe time. Although discoveries of rich ore in time to time, it is evident that most of the placer output. In 1927, à year of the districts have reached the stage nearly normal rainfall, about *40.000 at which the bulk of future gold pro­ was produced.

Freighting on the Rogue Thursday as the Miller-Carter freight boat, loaded with about 1000 feet of Port Orford cedar battery stock from the Ponting mill on Rogue river, was enroute downsteam near Lobster Creek, in charge of Abe Fry, the westbound mail boat of the same line, in charge of Earl Johnson, passed it, creating rather heavy sweets. The freight boat shipped water with each recurring swell and Fry headed it for shore. Before he reached land, how­ ever, the boat began to aink and he climbed on top ef the load of lumber as a safety measure. Ho was sur­ prised when ths boat Anally sank in about 11 feet of water and the deck load of lumber, with the skipper aboard, drifted to the shore where it was safely landed. Fry phoned the home office of the line in Gold Beach and Mr. Carter and aasistanta hurried to the scene, whore they found Fry in a skiff holding to the bow line of the sunken eraft, which he had man­ aged to gain by diving, to obtain the exact loaetion of the boat.
