History, Development e.nd Equip

Wealth Producers
One of the Josephine couuty mines
which has jiassed through the several
stages of development by which a
prospect (trows into a mine and which
may be said to have come to maturity,
is the Eureka. This mine is now
recognized as one of the very best in
southern Oregon and is being steadily
operated lit a profit that should be a
good stimulus toward the divelopment
of other ledges in this cnutiiy.

di"veri r. Milhr was a ps Li t J
hunter bv t.rnfeii.ii ami I new hisi
busiuess well. Vile u he Mriu k thel
truce vhiili ltd to the Eurekn, liej
was "tl.it broke" and the Hour was
low iu the sack. He eauipi d cu the I
property and waited for tilings to
come bis way, meanwhile, with a
band niortur, extracting enough gold
to meet bis expenses. Now, where the
ledge was discovered, it lay in the
form of a "blanket lead." A strip
several hundred feet across was lying
exposed on the hillside. At first this
was erroneously thought to be the
width of the vein and as it prosjiected
well almost all the way aero, the
proposition was considered a stupen
dous one. Miller sunk a shaft or two
bat at the depth of 10 or 13 fet-t drove
through the quarts into the earth
beneath. His prospecting probably
served to convince him that the mine
was only a detached mass of quarts
without any permanent ledge. So
Miller "shut" the holes full again,
would not allow any one eise to sink
on the property, and utterly relused
any aad all bouding propositions.
For spot cash he would sell, and no
other war. The reason was tliat
hs had no faith iu tlie permanence of
the property. m reiuat-a nouaing
propositions without nuiulier and final
ly sold to the Knreka Mining Co. for
28,000, cash.
The "blanket" portion merely had
a little extra "dip" and the perma
nent vein was found in place. The
Eureka Mining Co. fitted the mine np
at considerable expense. They in
stalled a 40 ton roller mill and a (SO
ton cyanide plant. The roller process,
it w as discovered later, wag m adapted
to this particular lock. Its ojierutiou
on the surface ore, that had been
partially disintegrated by the ele
ments, was fairly good but on the
liard'T quartz where the vein was ill
engines. A first-class electric light
plant is among the features of tlie
rniuu's equipment. The mine was
fitted up and operations wero carried
on under the direction of Walter de
Ynrila, the eminent mining engineer.
At the time tho new company took
hold of the property, there were 18,
000 tons of oro blocked out. More de
velopment work was immediately
begun and 40,000 tons more were
blocked out iu the fiist few mouths.
The oro that has been milled had been
estimated to produce $12 to the ton.
On being worked, it yielded $25 per
ton. The oro is a ribbon structure,
carrying a large jiercentugn of its
values in free gohL It carries aliout
i of ono per cent sylvanito which
renders it inijiervious to tho cyanide
process. About i." per cent or the
values are caught in the battery aud
plates. Tho remainder aro iu the con
centrates, secured on Willley tubles.
A 40 mesh screen is used. A large

A crosscut shows this dyke to be 39

The Eureka is situated nearly duo
west of Grants Pass and about 40
miles distant by tho somewhat cir
cuitous routo. It is about 11 miles
from Selma, tho nearest wagon road
point, witn no great difficulty a
road could be built to tho miuo from
Swedo Basin, only a few miles distant
and such a road has been projected.
It would be a benefit not only to this
miuo and its immediate vicinity, but
to 'all the vast country tributary to
tho lower Illinois river, a field as yet
barely touched by tho prospector.
In the opinion of many mining men
of judgment aud ixs-rieuce, tho
Eureka is destined to become one
among the very best mines of tho coast.
The uniform high grade quality of
its ore and tho immense quantity ob
tainable, the facilities for working,
aud better Btill the magnificent show
ing at tho lowest depth, make this
supposition almost uudisputahle.
J.I10 features of ore and formation arc
identical w ith those of some of the
greatest mines of California, and
other states, a fact quickly noted and
appreciated by mining men.
