FIRST QUARTZ MILL,.
Erected e-t Gold Hill on a
"Pocket" bv the l&te Henry
Klippel evnd Other.
The Ashland Tidings has the following
story of the first quarts mill erected In
the state, It was one of the lessons to
be learned in the qnarti education
of this country that a mine should be
prospected first and equipped after
wards. Failure to observe this rule in a
number of instances gave the quarts
mining industry a setback in Southern
Oregon. The Jewett mine is not ex
hausted as the article intimates, but
was only surface worked as many other
good properties have been and is still
a live mine.
The story of the first quarti mill
erected in Southern Oregon is recalled by
the passing away of the pioneer miner
Henry Klippel, who is fully entitled to
the name of the father of quarts mining
in Oregon, through his connection with
the industry at the 'famous Gold Hill
lode in 1800. It was in early January of
1800 that a pioneer named Graham, who
was better known by the sobriquet
"Emigrant," located what proved to be
the astonishingly rich pocket ledge of
Gold Hill. Not being able to locate the
whole ledge himself, the "Emigrant,"
took in the proposition with bim John
Long, George Isb, Thomas Cbavner and
James Hayes, who each staked claims.
They found an abundance of flat rock on
the surface of the ground which was
rich in free gold, and the news of their
strike spread over Jackson county like
wild fire on a western prairie. Pros
pectors and miners flocked to the hill
from all quarters of Southern Oregon
and northern California, and hundreds
of claims were staked and marked out
with no other boundary lines than ropes
stretched along them. Among other
locators was Henry Klippel who picked
up a piece of quarts rock on bis claim
weighing 13 ounces that yielded 6 ounces
in gold. The quart was worked with
mortars and never before or since was
money so plentiful in Jaokson county at
during those early days. The dull old
county-seat of Jacksonville at once
assumed metropolitan airs and was the
headquarters for the miners of the whole
section. Hotels, restaurants and stores
multiplied and an era of great pros
perity was inaugurated. A daily stage
line was put on the route from Jackson
ville to the new mines, and the busses
were crowded with prospectors and sight
seers bound .for the Eldorado of' Gold
Hill. The gold fever seised on the
whole country ; larmt were abandoned
for the mines snd as long as the extra
ordinary output continued there was
prosperity galore for everyone.
After taking oat a large amount of the
precious metal from their claims, a disa
greement arose among the original locat
ors, and Graham, sold bis interest to
Henry Klippel and John Ross for $5,003,
while James Hayes disposed of his for a
like amount to Klippel, John McLough
tea and Charles Williams. The new
owners immediately began to develop
the claims with Ivigor. Two arrastras
were erected to reduce the rich rock and
were operated with mules as motive
power. At the weekly cleanups for
some time one thousand ounces of gold
was the rule. Such was the accumula
tion of ore that the arrastres were not
equal to the work, so Mr. Klippel re
solved on putting op a 20-stainp quarts
mill to be run with steam power at a
cost of $12,000. In company with Mc
Laughlin and Williams, a qnartx mill
was purchased in San Francisco, and
a contract entered into with the mining
company to reduce their ore at $8 00
per ton. The mill arrived in the spring
of 1800 having come by water to Coos
Bay and then by road via Scottsburg.
Very much difficulty was experienced in
hauling the heavy freight over the
tough roads. The freight bill alone is
said to have been $2,600.
After a short time the mill was suc
cessfully erected and the machinery in
stalled. Dsrdanellea was selected as a
site for the pioneer quartz mill and it
began work on a run of 100 lonVof refuse
quarts that had been thrown aside as
having been too poor to run through the
arrastre. The rock yielded $100 to the
ton and prospects were rosy indeed,
The next run which was unassorted
rock, however, was a great surprise to
Rod room Suites. Che fib- W
It is a liig bargain
FJsi
V V 1
the owners for it yielded only $3.00 per
ton, and the paucity of the gold
was attributed to defective amal
gamation. But the mine was beginning
to peter out and another run oi six weeks
demonstrated that the location was
only a pocket ledge. $2 40 per ton was
a result of the last run and during
August both the mine and the mill
closed down. Messrs. Klippel, Mc
Lauglin and Williams lost about $11,000
on their venture with the pioneer quarts
mill.
The property was afterwards leased to
a party of Siekiyou county miners who
could not make a go of it, so abandoned
it. Then the mill was moved to the Jew
ett mine, situated on the south side of
Rogue river, owned by the Jewett Bros,
and D. William Donthitt, Jot Jackson
ville. At this mine the cleanup shows 1
the rock to yield $40 per ton and la all
$40,000 was pounded out of the Jewett
claim.
After this mine was exhausted the
old quarts mill was successfully con
verted into a sawmill and ran as sucb
for a long lime. Afterwards it was dis
mantled and some years later the en
gine and boiler were moved to Parker's
sawmill on Big Butte creek, where good
service was done by them for a number
of years.

We.shinu.ton Correspondence.
With the elections out of the way,
tha political leaders are turning their
attention to the important subjects ol
the tariff and Federal patronage. The
president finds a wide diversity of opin
ion on the former question. It may be
confidently asserted that Hon. 8erano E.
Payne, chairman of the Ways and Means
committee, Maj. Steel, of the same com
mittee, and numerous other representa
tives, and senators Hanna, Aldricb,
1'latt and Depew, all of whom are or
have recently been in Washington, con
sider any change in tariff schedules un
wise, and all the reciprocity treaties so
far negotiated, Impracticable. On the
other hand, some of the western con
gressmen are clamoring for the reduc
tion of rates on certain schedules. Some
prominent republicans believe a reduc
tion of revenue should be accomplished
by a docrease of the internal revenue
taxes and still others say that with the
expenses that the coming congress will
have to meet, any reduction of revenues
will be injudicious. In view of the
character of the men who oppose it, 1
consider it safe to predict that there
will be no tariff revision by the 57th
congress.
Rear Admiral Walker has called a
meeting of the isthmian canal com
mission for to-morrow, to complete the
report which it expects to deliver to the
president within the next two weeks.
Admiral Walker refuses to admit that
he has received any formal proposition
from M. Hut in, relative to the saleof
the concession and plant of the Panama
canal company, and he further states
that he does not consider the commis
sion empowered to enter on any negotia
tions for their purchase, but be bss
agreed to submit, as a portioa of the re
port of the commission, the proposition
which M. Hutin baa formulated.
Miller on China.
Consul II. B. Miller has written an
other letter to Oregon's Dairy and Food
Commissioner, J. W. Bailey, urging
Northwest commercial bodies to send an
agent over to Manchuria and China to
look out for the markets for our prod
ucts. He speaks especially of I'ort
Arthur and of Dai ny, the open sea ter
minus of the Siberian railroad. He
says through trains will soon be running
from Dainy to St Petersburg, and that
24,000 Ben are at work in constructing
the city of Dainy, and 1700 on the dry
dock. He says there is a chance lor a
great market there for cannod fruits,
butter, milk, flour, cheese, dried fruits
jams, lumber, doors and sasbes, house
fittings, furniture, machinery, hardware,
and nearly all things used by man will
soon be bandied and sold In large
quantities. Woolen goods, clothing and
blankets will have a good sale, for the
country is cold, although it lies much
south of Portland. A good suggestion.
But there will have to be more cows,
bogs, sheep, etc., etc, raised in the
northwest before the borne market is
fully supplied. The possibilities of the
Oriental markets are but limitless.
