The very fai t that there have been few

reuson for tliu greater prevalence ami dc

Wolf Greek and vicinity, and during bit
absence, visited Ihe nun famous Hcrib-ner-Ilenderson
mine in that district.
This is probably one of the most unique
and peculiar properties on Ihe coast.
The gold is all obtained by panning, no
other gold saving appliance being used
The mine lies on the Woll Creek tide
of the divide between Wolf and Coyote
creek. The gold is found near the sur
face 111 bum lies, sea ins and stringers of
decomposed ipiarlx and other vein mat
ter. A little stream from a near by
spring is brought conveniently near and
runs Into a box or trough with compart
ments Into which the men pan.
The dirt rum all the way from ia cents
to many dollars to ihe pan. Home few
puis of dirt bave yielded as high as $100.
The amount secured In nine months al
moit steady panning has been enormous
JYirge amounts of sulphurets also are
secured and Host are rich in gold. They
are thrown aside, lor treatment a' tome
future tune. At present, the owners
have no time fur anything but the pure
article.
The mine lies on a contact ol porphyry
and serpentine, the gold being founlin
the Kirphyry, ihe stringers all tending
toward tlie contact. It la most probable
that a permanent mine ol great richness
will be developed with depth. At the
present time the owners are too busy

Demolish Train.
One of the most stupendous explosions
of dynamite which has ever occured In
this portion ol the state took place on
Saturday afternoon near (ilrnrlale. The
following account Is given ol the catas
trophe :
What is regarded as one of the worst
wrecks in the history of the Southern
Pacific Company's lines in Oregon, took
place at tunnel No. 7, six and one ball
mile) north of GUndale, Saturday after
noon about 4:30 o'clock. Extra freight
No. 222, east, composed ol 28 cars, with
three engines, was just emerging from
Tunnel No. 7, which is a short one on s
sharp enrvs in the track, and about 100
feot long, when the train parted, th air
note breaking. The sudden jar caused
two rear cars loaded with dynamite to
explode. The entire train was demol
ished except the engine, and it was in
jured somewhat. There were 10 cars ol
melon), two of powder, two of fruit and
the remainder miscellaneous freight.
All but three cars of melon) were totally
demolished by the force of the explosion,
which was felt for miles around the sur
rounding country. ' A car filled with
acid look fire, and the flame) spread to
the dry brush and timber, causing a
Aerce conflagration. Cow Creek, which
runt a'ong the aide of the track at Ibis
point, wss filled with debris and burn
ing wreckage.
The building) ol Ihe Victory mine,
one-half mile distant, were badly that
tared, and in a house one mile distant
from the scene, a sick woman wat
thrown Iroin her bed by Ihe force of the
sin ck, her arm and shoulder being badly
dislocated in the fall. The train crew
miraculously escaped with only a few
bruises and scratches.
At least 11 cara were blown to atoms
and cannot be accounted for, while even
their trucks are missing. Wrecking
crewa were sent lo the scene ol disaster
from Portland, Itoseburg and Ashland,
and at midnight about 200 men were
busily at work clearing the track. The
tunnel appears to be uninjured, although
the track and roadbed, were torn np lor
a great distance, and the telegraph wires,
except one, although they, are quite a
distance up the hill from the wreck, were
demolished. The upper portion of the

Wtxldo Copper Mines.
Grants Pass, Or., Aug. 9. I.ate de
velopments prove that as rich enprs-r
ore ia contained in the ledgen of the
Waldo copper belt of Southern Oregon
as is found in the copier regions of any
country in tlie world. The Waldo cop
per Gelds, situated in Southwestern
Josephine County, cover an area 20
miles wide by over 30 in length, ext end
ing from the Illinois River, near the lit
tle mining tow n of Kerhy, to the Cali
fornia line. The large ledges of copper
of the district have been known to exist
since the pioneer days of 50 years a.o,
but in tho mad rush for the more pre
cious yellow metal, the less valuable
copper veins of the mountains were
practically ignored until four years ago.
At the present time there are a dozen
mines in the Waldo copper district being
worked or developed, while over a score
more of claims have been recently
slaked, and new discoveries are being
continually made. The smelter, situa
ted at the.Htrong mines, near the center
of tho district, is being run at full blast,
treating the ore of the surrounding
mines. Other smelters are being talked
of for the district, as the ore being re
moved would keep a dozen in operation.
The H rut discovery; of copier in Oregon
was made iu IHiX) by two prospector
who were searching tor gold. The dis
covery was made in Southwestern Jos
ephine County. No steps- towards re
moving the copper ore of tlie discovery
were made till many years later, al
though! from a similar claim, discovered
at the same time, just across the line in
California, considerable development
work was dune and many tons ol ore
were shipped across the soa to Kurope
to be smelted.
The real discovery of copper in South
ern Oregon dates back to 1K88. W. J.
Strong, who is at present an Illinois
Valley farmer and miner, was out hunt
ing In the mountains when he discover
ed a large ledge of copper, which devel
oped into what is now the Cowboy cop
per mine. In a short time, Strong nnd
a partner had located six claims in the
immediate district, which at present
comprises the Strong group of mines, on
which the smelter is located. In WM
Brown and Wheeler, two capitalists of
Baltimore, Md., became interested in
the Waldo copper fields, and purchased
the Strong mines and erected the smel
ter. The mines were later purchased,
and are at present owned by Morgan
Draper, ol San Francisco. To Brown
and Wheeler ia due much of the credit
of opening up the riches of the Waldo
copper fluids to the world. It was they
who expended the first money in build
ing roads, bridge) and buildings at the
mines.
Professor O. W. Lehmen, who was
(or 20 years the chemist of the Balti
more Copper Works, and who is con
ceded to be one of the greatest author
ities on copper, said, after) an examina
tion of the copper mines of the Waldo
belt, that they were the most extensive
end the richest body of copper ledges so
fur known to exist in the world.
A detriment to the copper mines ol
Waldo is their distance from the rail
road. Much expense is entailed in haul
ing the ore or matte to Grants Pass or
Crescent City, from which iioiiils it Is
shipped to the markets or smelter. The
present method of hauling the ore out
by wagon is far too inadiHuuto for the
Immense ore bodies that this copier dis
trict contains.
The most cxtonsive ot the Waldo
mines is the Strong group, owned by
Morgan Draper. A 30-ton smelter is
situated on these mines, and is kept in
operation, nearly 100 men lieing em
ployed. The quantity of ore in sight at
this mine is extensive. About half way
up the mountain-side on which the main
working is situated a ledge 130 feet in
width is exposed. In this ledge arc
numerous veins of copper, varying be
tween four and live feet in width and
separated by deposits of sorpentinu,
these deposits being highly mineralized.
Higher up tl o mountain is a 300-font
tunnel, which passes from one side of
the mountain to the other, follow ing a
(otir-fcsit copier vein. Shafts and drifts
have been cut through all parts of this
mountain. I-edgcs and veins of copper
aro encountered at every ioint aud at
all depths through the mountain's in
terior. On the range adjoining the Strong
group are found tho Whipim group of
mines. Samples of ore brought into
Grants Pass a few days ago from these
mines gave assay returns of IS and !'
per cent copper, w ith also a fair show ing
of gold. Tho tunnel tupping tho Whip
ple mine reaches a depth of 325 feet.
The ledge is 22 feet in width. Olio hun
dred and fifty tons ot ore lio on the
dump utilsidu the Whipple, awaiting
transportation to the smelter.

Strong and Whipple mines is found the
Little copper group. In these mines
considerablo development work has been
done and inauv tons of rich ore have
Ihi o removed. The tunnel bus la-en
run in to a depth of .101) feet tapping or
following a ledge that has an average
width of 12 feet. At the present time
there are over 100 tons of ore on the
dump awaiting treatment.
On down the Illinois River some 20
miles from the Strong group is found
the Waldo copper mines. They are
situated but a short distance from the
stage road leading from Grunts Pass to
Crescent City, and are likewise easier of
access. - The combined claims of the
Waldo mines include 3H0 acres. Severs
thousand tons of rich ore are piled in a
huge dump outside the tunnel of the
Waldo, which will lie treated in the
smelter in a short time. Tho plant of
this mine consists of a 30-ton furnace,
Baker blower and rockcrusher. Good
comfortable buildings for the arconi
modatinn ot the employes are erected.
The ore removed from the Waldo mine
is pronounced the richest of the entire
district ; much of it picked np indiscrim
inately from the dump w ill af-say 30 per
cent copper.
Scores of discoveries have been made
and claims located in the Waldo district
of late. Among these discoveries the
most imKrtunt is that of the Mammoth
ledge, situated above nine milts from
Waldo. The croppiiigs on the summit
of the mountain in which the Mammoth
ledge ia situated show that the ledge of
the mine has a width of 500 feet. All
over the summit of this mountain ate
found huge gossuniferous rocks, nperir
ing like great kilns. These rocks are
reddened and scorccd by the intense
heat that ages ago issued from the heart
of the mountain below.
A tunnel In the Mammoth crosscuts
the big ledgn to a depth of 325 feet. The
ore of this ledge carries values in copper
ranging from 5 to 11 kt cunt, which is
not of as high grade us other mines ot
the district, but the ledge is much more
extensive than any of the ledges of the
others.
The Waldo district, like all other sec
tions ol Southern Oregon, is Well sup
plied with wood and water two ab
solute 'necessities in mining methods.
Besides producing copper, tho Waldo
district has always been a rich, gold
producer, some of the richest hydraulic
mines of the Josephine mining district
being situated there.-Dennis Htovull in
