Quartz in Southern, Oregon. ,
Daring the past year a moth greater
Interest baa been taken in Southern
Oregon quarts mining than ever before.
Many new claims have been located and
developed throughout tba various dis
tricts, snd new and rich properties bavs
been brought to light, and old and es
tablished mines bave added to their
plant and equipment. The success be
ing met by those engaged has given
courage to others, and it now seems an
assured fact that the quarts mines of
Southern Oregon have entered a perma
nent and profitable business era.
Bine the early days of 60 yean ago
Southern Oregon has been noted as a
placer mining region. The gravel of
every stresm was rich with the yellow
grains, and it required but a crude
rocker and shovel for the pioneer to
crsdle out the precious stuff in astonish
ing quantities. Even after all the gold
was skimmed from the surface, and it be
came necessary to introduce the monster
hydraulic giant, tba big ledges in the
mountain depths were still ignored by
the miners. Hunting for quarts ledges,
opening them up, and lying by waiting
for a purchaser was a pursuit too full of
embarrassments, and entirely too flow
for the pioneer prospector. "Pocket
bunting" was the nearest approach he
male to quarts bunting in Southern
Oregon. The prospector of today is con
tent with a color in any form that it
mav show itself, but the pioneer miner
and pocket-banter was not so essily
pleased ; he ignored everything but tree
gold, and even that he wanted in as big
chunks and as close as possible. These
things led to Southern Oregon being
known as a ''pocket" and placer miuing
country.
Much more capital, mechanical skill
snd scientific experience is required in
the opening up of a quarts property than
is necessary in a p'acer mine. Thes
things, coupled with the excellent
natural facilities offered, made Southern
Oregon take a leading place as a miuing
field in the gold regions of the coast.
In this district there are so many
ancient channels, bars stream beds and
gulches possessed of deep, loose and rlc h
auriferous gravel, that it can do naught
else than take leading rank as a by
draulic mining region. The small
county of Josephine contains at the
present time 150 hydraulic placer miuea
more than any 'other section of like
area in the West. Considering the fact
that the great majority of these mines
couldjiot be worked out for the next
100 years, Southern Oregon, from the
plscer point of view, has a brilliant
future before it.
But to the future output of the hy
draulic mines of this region, will be
added the yield of the quarts bullion
producers, as every district of late is
becoming possessed of its rich quarts
mines. Stamp-mills are having their
batteries increased, crews aie being
doubled, plants and equipment are
being added to. and the shafts are be
ing fearlessly sunk deep down, for
mining men are being brought to the
realization that the Southern Oregon
quarts mines are not merely pockets, but
permanent, paying ledges.
The vein mater of the Southern Ore
gon ledges varies but little throughout the
various districts, and, with a few ex
ceptions, msy be described as a hard,
white and compact quarts, carrying
metallic sulphides and free gold in vary
ing qiantity. The Southern Oregon ore
yields readily In the mortar of the
stamp-mill, so readily, in fact, .that the
earlier minors found readv money In a
band mortar or an ar rail re. So nvuch
free-milling or oxidized ores existed on
the surface that it was not until late
years that any attempt was made to
save the concentrates, the rich ledges of
sulphides being left exposed in the
sbalts and tunnels.
Aside from gold quarts mining the
discovery of rich copper ledges has
added much to this phase of miuing in
Southern Oregon during late years.
The recently discovered copper fields of
south Josephine county are attracting
the attention of capitalists and metal
lurgials from all parts of the world.
State Metallurgist Anbury, of California
states, alter making a thorough explora
tion of the new field, that he believes it
to be an extenaion of the famous Shasta
bell of Northern California, whose
mines, with the aid of capital, bave in
late years, made Bbasta the ranking
county of California as a metal producer.
Experts wbo bave visited the new field,
are firm in their belief that this vast de
posit of copper will, with proper de
velopment produce as much metal as
the Anaconda district of Montana, or
the Jerome district of Arizona. While
a lame area of the new field is in Siki
yon county, California, the whole is
practically In Southern Uregon as
mountain barriers and absence of roads
mske an approach from the south im
possible. Denois H. Stovsli iu Pacific

Oregon Fruit at Buffalo.
Oregon's medal from the Pomological
Association of America for excellent
fruit has attracted much attention in the
eaat. Aa a apecimen of the references
to it made the press, the following, from
the Chsrlcston (8. C.) News and Cour
ier, is interesting:
One of the Buffalo paper notes that
Oregon is displaying ia the Horticul
tural building at the Pan-American Fx
position, a medal awarded to the state
by the Pomologiral Association of Amer
ica, "for the highest excellence of
fruits," the medal being shown with
the exhibit of apples, peaches, pears,
plums and prunes for which the award
was made. That Oregon should have
won the prize from all the United State
and Canada ia, of course, greatly to the
credit of the fruitgrowers of the state,
but how very much credit belong to
them will more fully appear from a
abort statement of the recent and diffi
cult beginning of their now thriving industry.
The first fruit trees, it is stated by
Colonel II. E. Doech commissioner
from Oregon to tho Pan-American Ex
position, were planted in the state in
1847, and were one-year grafts brought
all the way across the plains in a wagon
box by ajnau Darned Llewelling.
They were planted in the box, "and
were watered laithfully night and morn
ing during the five mouths of the jour
ney." The varieties were apples, pears,
peaches and cherries. The apple trees
bore their first fruit in 1853, and that
year and the year after every apple on
them was sold for (1 apiece. A little
later they sold for 110 a box of 45 pounds
and sold quickly at that price. Some of
the original trees are still living and the
state is now winning prizes for the fin
est fruit grown on the continent.
The story is an interesting one in its-
self, and it has one plain moral, which
is that natural disadvantages for the
growing of fruit id any region need not
prevent the development of the indus
try in a very high degree by patient and
intelligently directed industry. The re
cord shows that Oregon did not have a
fruit-tree on its soil 50 years ago, and it
is now among the foremost fruit-growing
states. -
