THE JOSEPHINE COUNTY PLACER MINES
Are Making Preparations for the Coming Season's Run.
Extensive Improvements Made.
The Output of the Josephine
Placers Should be Greater
Than Ever Before.
The owners and mauapors of the
varioos Josvpliino comity hydraulic
mines hare all returned from their
summer's outing und are getting
things ready for their rcguhtr winter's
work. A number of Josephine pincers
have nndcrgouo extensive improve
ments this summer and will be worked
on a larger scale this coming season
than ever before.
Out at the Big Simmons & Cameron
hydraulio mine, of Wuldo, much im
provement work luts been done this
summer. These old plueers have
been worked for the ist 50 years and
have perhtiiie produced more gold than
any other hydraulic mine iu the slate.
They have enough ground in siglit'to
keep tlio giants busy for 100 years to
come. The water supply of these
pincers is such as to afford a run of
from six to nine months in tlio year.
Among the improvements being made
this season is the running of a 1300
foot tunnel to allow the paHsago of a
waterway and make liossible the work
ing of a rich body of gronnd that
could not be readied iu any other
way.
F. H. Osgood, a prominent capital
ist and railroad mnn of Senttlo and
who owns one of the largest hydraulio
mines iu Josephine, comity, has re
turned from Scuttle and is here mak
ing an inspection of his property,
which is located iu the Waldo district.
Last winter witnessed tlio first season
of business for the hydraulics. Mr.
Osgood s)X'ut a largo sum of money
the summer before equipping the
proMrty and getting it iu slutpo for
work, but the success met this past
winter conclusively proved to him
rr-.t
that his money has beeu wisely iciit,
and but a few seasons will bo re
quired to repay tho amount invested.
Tlio Osgood placers consist of several
hundred acres of rich pluocr ground
lying along the Illinois river, and
occupying the bed of uu ancient chuii
iiel. The banks uru from 3.) to 75 feet
iu depth und curry both fine mid
coarse guhl. The water supply comes
from the main brunch of the Illinois
river and is of the very best. There
is ground enough to keep the mines
iu operation for 50 yeurs or mole.
One of the priuclpul features in the
equipment of this mine, is a 1300-foot
tunnel driven through a mountain of
solid rock ; the tunnel being ueeessury
to let the niuin II nine through to the
working grounds of the mine. These
platers, will bo nin-rutcd on ubout the
wime sculu this coming winter as they
weru last ncuitou.
Ii. E. Meredith, managerjind owner
of the Meredith idnccrs of the
Waldo district has returned from
Chicago and gone out to tlio
properties to dou his rubber boots.
Tho Meredith placers aro iu the
ami! district and occupy the samo old
channel as do the Osgood properties.
This will be (lie fourth season that
these placers hato beeu iu business
since their equipment. The lianks are
deep and rich, carrying both fine and
coarse gold. It is iu these plueers
that a Philadelphia company hus
beeu mining for platinum all the pu-t
summer and have ne t with good suc
cess. It is here, also, tluit tlu; strange
and unknown uu tal, Jiw phineite, is
found iu quantity.
If there is bat one miner iu all
southern Oregon tint is deserving of
the success he is meeting, that one
is B. . Meredith, or just plain
"Ben" a he is familiarly known.
He has had more tl.au Ins share of
obstacles and has nu t and overcome
them alL The equipment of Ins
mine coat a fortune and is a mix lei of
engineering skill. The working
groouiU of the mile- do not alTord
sufficient slope for dumping facilities
for the tailings and to overcome this
embarrassment a huge grizztty was
put in to elevate tlio waste dirt and
boulders. Mr. Meredith has just got
to his best paying grounds and hopes
to do a better business this coming
winter than ho has ever done before.
Throe giants will bo oieried.
The Old Channel Mines, out at
Qulice, lmvo everything ready at their
big placers to begin work whenever
water is afforded. The mines will
be in better shape for work this win
ter than ever before. Three giants
will bo operated, and the rich gulch
diggings will bo worked. It Is here
that tlio famous plucor bunk, which
lias attracted the attention of mining
men from everywhere, is situated.
This big bank has a length of litOO
feet, and a height whore it is being
piped of 230 foot. Such a bank as
tiiis can only be worked from a dis
tance of 400 feet, requiring a pressure
of 600 feet in the giants. This great
bank carries values all tlio way from
the grass roots to tlio bedrock, carry
ing fine gold in tlio elny capping and
coarse gold in the lower Btratns. The
Old Caiiuol Mines, as their naino indi
cates, occupy the bed of an old ennuel
or ancient river. This channel is
over five miles in length, all of which
is covered by the Old Cnntiel com
pany and has a width of from one-half
to three-quarters of a mile.
Manager V. ' H. Hampton, of the
Columbia pincers, of the Grave creek
district, has everything iu readiness
for work, Ho will operate two nud
three giants Iu the diggings this year.
Threo other giants are reqniredj to
otierate the elevator for removing the
waste. One of too excellent feature
of these placers is tlio electric light
plant. A number of large aro lights
are suspended above the diggings and
make the working gronnd us light as
day for uiglit work. The bunks of
these placers are a grny and red gravel,
carrying values in flue and coarse
gold. They occupy the .bed of an
ancient channel.
-1
A JOSEPHINE COUNTY PLACER MINE IN OPERATION.
All iu all, about the same number
of giants will bo ojwraied throughout
tlio Josephiuo placers this coming sea
sou as weru last, and if the ruins do
not hold off as they did lust year, the
output of placer gold from Josephine
county tliis season will bo larger than
ever before.
THE POSSIBILITIES DEVELOPED.
Tlio success of the Disc typo of
Ciriiphophoui) which uses Hat, in
destructible records, is largely due to
tho fact that the Columbia Phono
graph Company, pioneers and leaders
in tho talking machine, art, has de
velop d tho possibilities iu both the
machines and tlio records beyond ull
expectations. It wns ablu to do this
because It is tlio only coiuuiny in the
talking niw hini) field having a com
plete laboratory and a manufacturing
plant on a broad and comprehensive
basis. Its facilities for exjs-riineu-tat
ion aud for manufacturing are on
a very large scale. It dis s uot have
to rely ou Iiicxtiericiieed manu
facturers for any part of the product
j it offers for sale. It makes Its own
machines and it own records from

DRINKING AND VAGRANCY.
Tho manager oi ' the Allegheny
County workhouse ' in thoir recent
report quote a statement made bv Mr.
John W. Keller before the New York
State Conference of Charitiea, held
in New York Oity but November.
The quotation in a follow : "Out of
a total of l,98A Inmate of the alms
house on Blarkwell'i Island only 5(14
wero born In the United State; 9,873
wero foreign born, and out of this
nubmor 1,017 were born in Ireland.
Out of tho 3,084 iutuato,. 8,731) Were
admitted for destitution. .They were
just helpless in the main, because
they had yielded to the desire for
drink until long-suffering friends
could no longer bear the burden of
their existence, and hd to torn them
over to the state. How many of these
persons could have boon made self
respecting and olf-npporting If the
environment that first led them iu tile
downward path had been minimised
or swept away altogether? Here 1 a
great opportunity for the philanthro
pist who looks to cause rather than
to effects iu hi plan for tho bettor
men t of the human race. There are
too many people in tho almshouse.
The energy of the statu ha been ex
erted to take care of the unfortunate,
rather than to prevent niunand women
from becoming unfortunate." The
state owe a duty to the unfortunate be
side taking care of them in tho alius
houses. The state should ce to It
that there bo no need that they ever
come, to the - almshouse. Teac hing
thrift is ono of tho safeguards against
the almshouse. Preserving thcru from

there Is one clear working precept Iu
