MOUNTAIN OF RICH COPPER.
The Samples from ' the Waldo
Fields Make a. Splendid
Showing.
Fiue samples of copper ore ore run
ning as high as 25 aud 30 per cent., were
brought into Grants Pass recently from
the new Mammoth ledge, lately discov
ered in the Waldo copper fields. This
new ledge fa situated nine miles from
Waldo station and north of the devel
oped mines described in The Telegram
a few days ago; this new ledge or moun
tain of copper, lies between the West
Fork of the Illinois River and Elk Crock
on the east, both a' reams Sowing north
ward toward the Illinois.
Development work In the nature of a
tunnel driven iuto the side of the moun
tain of copper gives proof ot a mammoth
ledge over 200 feet in width, carrying
values ranging from 10 to 35 per cent.
This tunnel has not as yet crosscut the
ledge entirely, nor do the miners expect
it to do so, for over 100 feet more, as
the ore shows up better with depth.
Climbing to the summit of ihe moun
tain one will find croppings on the sur
face which indicate a leqgth of copper
beneath, 000 feet in width. Such a
ledge stands without a parallel any
where. All over the summit of the
mountain is to be seen a decomposed
rock or gossan of reddish color, which
forms the upper part ot the metallic
vein beneath. Some of thefe gossan
iferous rocks stand many feet high, like
huge kilns, and give evidence of the in
tense heat that ages ago issued from
that mountain top. These croppings
have been known to exist for several
years, but it was not until two years ago
that the Mammoth ledge was discovered.
The discovery was made by E. M. Al
bright, a miner of much experience, who
came to Southern. Oregon from New
Mexico. With two other ptrtnurs a
com pan v was formed and several claims
staked.
bince the discovery was made the
owners have been pushing development
work with all speed, as they have a
most encouraging promise of becoming
the possessors of one of the world's
best copper mines. The tunnel tapping
the lodge has been run in oyer 350 feet,
and down to a dopth of nearly 20) feet,
and after a point 1 10 feut from the sur
face is passed, a high-grade copper ore
is found throughout.
The Mammoth ledge, as it has been
named by its owners, is situated 3S miles
southwest of Grunts Pass, and only
about a mile uiistance fr mi the Cres
cent City and Chants Pass stage road.
The mine lies 2800 feet above tho level
of the sea, and the tunnel can lie seen
far up on tho mountain side from the
stage road below.
This new wine is another important
additionto the rich copper producers ol
the celebrated Waldo Held or -district.
The large ledges of copper on thoIIIInolB
Uiver have been known for a long time,
but in the mad rush for gold along tho
streams of that and other Southern Ore
gon districts, the leas valuable copper
was ignored by the prospectors. But of
late years these copper ledges have been
developed extensively, and have nrnd
ed many thousand tons ol copper Binco
me erection ot the smelter hi tbt Jis
trict. New discoveries are continually
heing made, and the supposed border
line of the Waldo copiwr belt is being
pushed out and spread farther aud far
ther with each new strike. Just a few
days ago a gronp of Montana minors
Visited the district, and, surprised at
the magnitude of the Waldo cornier
fields, pronounced it the greatest in the
Lulled 6tates, though liko Iho gold
mines of Southern Oregon, these Im
mense copper ledges are practically un
developed. The operators of the Mammoth ledge
are to erect a smelter and electric light
plant for night work. Nearby streams
on the mountain side can bo utilized to
furnish power for thefe purposes.
Timber grows abundantly in the vicinity,
so that altogether the Waldo region
furnishes every facility for becoming an
ideal copper mining district. Dennis
