It is a piece of great good luck to the finders, but it is also a lucky nnd valuable incident for Ore gon. It will attract wide attention to this state nud to Southern Oregon in particular. Since one such ledge has beeu fouud, may there uot bo others? True, such a discovery always start-: out a largo number of pro; peotors, most of 'whom nre doomed to disap pointment, but the general result w ill be good; it will mean more work, mnro effort, Jiorn consumption of pro ducts, more faith iu Oregon's mineral wealth, nnd, diululcss, more Oregon gold. Some people, insist dogmatically that there is 110 such thing iu the world as luck or chance; that every person gets ultimately just what he plaus aud woiks rightly for nud de serves. But the truth of this line theory is uc t discernible in such an occurrence as this. For many years placer gold was extracted in large quantities from tho beds of streams lu this vicinity, 011 both sides of this ridge, mid ic was known that there must bo a rich ledge iu that ridge, from which tho placer gold came. Doubtless the region has been pros pected by ma y a more or less hopeful miner; doubtless weeks in the nggro gata of tramping though those hilis has genu unrewarded ; nud yet nt last a hoy, ont limit iug, and with 110 t ought of finding gold, niseovers it iu quantities cropping out of the sur face, so abundant nnd easy to obtain that it is suicl one family of seven persous mcrtaied out 23,000 in a week. One need not call this luck or chnuce, if he is determined that there is no such thiug; hut certainly the chief beuotlcliirirn did uot plan aud work for this result. This incident shows tint t - Oregon hi'S not us yet been diligently nud thoioughly prospected. If the stories told concerning this ledge ore true, it may produce millions, and there may be, nnd 110 donbt are, other ledges ns rich yet to be discovered. Oregon's mineral wealth is ns yet mostly un discovered. It muy be reasonably expected that its gold production, already much larger than it is given credit for, will steadily lurcensn for many years.
