Oregon's First Mining Code
Josephine county, of this state, was
the frit section ol the Northwest to
adopt a mining code, and the story con
nected with the adoption ot the code is
an interesting one, being a it is part
ol the pioneer history of our Hate.
In 1X51 the only mining district known
to exi't in the stale was that of the
Josephine district. Miner were flock
ing in from California on the south, and
from the Willametto Valley and Van
couver on the north. The whole borde
of miners was congregating at the one
district known that of Waldo and Alt
house, western Josephine, There were
no existing mining laws in the Oregon
Territory code, and the pioneeis soon
rcaliged the nocessity of having s com
mon rule adopted to save confusion,
trouble, and thu lives of many of their
number, as the method pursued of let
ting each man be his own law would
iialttrally cause dissatisfaction iu the
end.
Accordingly on Ihe first day of A p II,
lb,"-', on the bank of Canyon Creek, s
tributary u( the ltogue, 40 miners as
sembled beneath a large fir tree and
drafted and adopted the diet mining
code of the Northwest. The text of the
code as adopted read as follow:
"Know all men by theie presents:
That the miner in couucil assembled,
ou this, the 111 day of April, 1So2, do or
dain and adopt thu following rules and
regulation to govern this camp:
"Hcmilved, First, that 60 yards shall
constitute a claim lu the bed ol s creek,
extending to high water on each aide.
"Resolved, S.tcond, that 40 feel shall
constitute a bank or bar claim on the
lace extending tuck to the hill or the
mountain.
"K -solved, Third, that all claim not
worked, when workable, after five days,
he forleited or jiiinpalile.
"lie solved, Fourth, that all disputes
arising from mining ilaiui shall be set
tied by arbitration, and thu decision
shall be final.
