Georgo A. Dyson, of Eugeue, is
spcudiug a few daya in Portland, hav
ing come direct from Jackson county,
where lie haa been for aeveral months
euaged in active mining work in
the vicinity of Jacksonville.
The property, which lie haa been
working under bond, ia situated
seven miles from Jacksonville, and,
bieug familiar with what ia trans
piring iu that vicinity, Mr. Dyson
talked very entertainingly of the dis
trict. "Placer minora havo done extremely
well iu Southern Oregon thia year,
due to a greater flow of water tl.au
for many years," said he, "and I
think, when the final cleanups of the
year are reported, it will be foutid
that more placer gold haa been wash
ed, than during any single season for
ten years. People do uot realize the
amount of wealth produced there
every year. TI10 placer regions are of
such wide scope that those operating
are uot aware of what ia being done
on the other aide of a mountain or
even along the eamo stream.
"What strikes a quartz minor with
the greatest force is the comparative
insignificance of quartz miue develop
ment iu a se. tiou that bears each
strong evidence of strong ledges ex
isting iu the region. There is very
little quartz miuiug done, but it is
rapidly increasing.
"Recently tin cleau-np was made
ou the Sturgia property, and wae
veiy good, I uuderstuad. This old
property of A. L. Sturgis was btnght
last year by H. W. Vance, a Califor
nia miner, and has beeu equipped
witli a plant of modem machinery,
includiug electric lighting plant,
steam power, and equipment for
working the dirt to bedrock.
"The Spaulding mine, owned by
Tacoma people, has also made a splen
did clean-up for the season. Au
abuuduuee of water fur the entire
period of operations, favorable condi
tions otherwise, and a good conduct
of affairs, combined to make it 11 moat
successful year.
"Former State Senator Aukeny lias
what ia probably the most profitable
proposition iu Southern Oregon. He
haa three or four big giants iu opera
tion and the annual cleau-up protiahly
approxiamtes $10,000 or foO.OOO. The
property ia au imnieuso producer,
treated on the Applegate river near
Jacksonville. A ditch 27 miles iu
length is owned with sulliclent
water rights to guarantee a eteady
flow aud plenty of it
"At Waldo is located one of the
big properties. Simmoua & Cameron
havo a apleudid property located
there, which. I am told, is being de
veloped iu the best possible chape,
shape. That ia near Grants Pass,
and my knowledge of it i8 entirely
from conversation with men who
have beeu at the mine. I never visit
ed it myself."
Mr. Dyson ia a pioneer Oregon
miner. Ho staked the Lucky Boy at
Bluo River ahd was the mau who
wrote the origiual uotlco setting up
a title to three ol the great mines of
the country. It waa Iu June, 1887,
that with two partners, tho prospect
ing expedition went into tho mount
ains along the tributaries of the Mc
Kenzie river, a little more than 17
years ago. Owing to the dense forest,
there were comparatively few places
where outcroppiugs gave a hint of the
character of formation and veins,
ledges or deposits.
Few locations had beeu mnilo jiud
the district was uusurveyed. Aft?r
finding mineral iu place, the 8ide
lines were run by blazing trees, aud
referring to natural mnuuniciitd of
rocks and rugged cliffs that character
ize the locality. There was no regu
larly organized mining district, and
when the goverunent aurveyora came
later, they found by rcferoueu to tho
tecordsthttt the early surveyors in the
camp had tied corners to everything
imaginable, some liko the talo told of
an early Arizona prospector, uot al
waya having exercised prudence in
using au immovable object for the
purpose. But tho loeutors of tho
Lucky Boy, believed they had a mine
under their feet aud blazed their lines
distinctly nud iu a way to warn others
not to trespasa. Twelve yeara later
the claims were sold to the present
owner, tho Lucky iioy aiming 10111-

for League Convention.

T111IW llulltliu;;, Wlxtli Street
Tho Portland Commercial Club
has issued a call for a cnuventiou of
the (Jrcgou Development League, to
bo held at tho Mirqnam Oriuid
Theater in Portland, Augus.1 2d and
d. All commercial, agricultural,
mining, stock-raising and irrigation
interests will be represented;' every
editor In tho stato will bo invited to
attend as a delegate; County Com
missioners and Mayors of all towns
and citio8 will also bo called upou to
uaiuo delegates. Tho Portland
Woman's Club will look after tho
comfort of ladies accompanying dele
gates, and, among other entertain
moots, havo arranged for a trollery
ride ou August 2d, taking in the most
interesting and beautiful environs of
Portland, and on August Hd ten street
cars will he provided for a trip over
the entire city.
The Southern Pacific Co. w ill sell
tickets at tho very low rato of one
faro for tho round trip, from all
points ou Oregon Lines to Portland
and return, for this occasion, aud It
is hoped that every section of the
stato will bo well represented nt the
convention, to work iu harmony for
tho development of Oregon.
Safeguard the Children.
Notwithstanding all that is done by
boards of health and charitably in
clined persons, the death rate among
small children is very high during
the hot weatner of ti'.n summer
months iu tho large cities; there is
not probably one caso of bowel com
plaint in a hundred, however, that
could uot ho cured by tho timely use
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. For sale by all
druggists.
13. H. Kelm, who resides at 2li7
Columbia street, has returned from
the uew gold field at Sucker Creek,
aud states that the new mining dis
trict ia one of more than ordinary
promise.
"I went to Sucker Creek for the
purpose of doing . aome prospecting,
hut, uot being provided with a borae,
I returned, and will go agaiu at a
luter date," he said. "I feel satisfied
that some very good properties will
sometime be opeued up there, aud I
believe the find of Dave Briggs,
which haa beeu causing so much ex
citement, will prove lasting.
' People iu that locality, however,
are uot inclined to be excited over the
flud. There have been several very
rich pockets of free gold discovered lu
that locality iu the past, aud it ia a
oommon opinion there that the new
find is but another of these pockets.
'Hut I do uot think the people iu
that vicinity generally know much
about quartz mining. They are
placer minors, as a rule, and have had
little experience wltb quartz. While
they may ho right iu their etslmatea
of the new find, it cannot bo deuied
that there ia much gold iu that
country, and prospects for the dis
covery aud development of good mines
aro promising.
'Therearoa Rreat many prospect
ors on the grouud, and more aro con
tinually coming, but they do uot re
main in tho vicinity ot the new find,
and aro soon lost iu the wild country
that borders it. The statement that
nil of the land ia staked off is uot
true, for as far as the evo can see,
thore ia good proa;ectiug country.
'Some difficulty la beii g fouud iu
muking locations, for the land hns
never been surveyed aud it is uot
known definitely whether it belongs
to Oregon or California.
'It is a rugged, mountainous
country, and a man ou foot cannot
do much traveling while carrying his
supplies with him. A man going into
the Sucker creek country to proBpect
should provide himself with horses,
as he will find that he cau do but lit
tle without them.
'The uew flud ia a well defined
ledge of white quartz, aud from all
surface evidence to be obtained, it
aeeniB that it ia permanent. Directly
above tho siKit where the gold was
discovered, the ledge is crossed by a
larger ledge, also of a promising
looking nature. "
THE END OF THE RAINBOW
There ia going to bo something
doing at the Blue Ledge copper mine
ou Elliott crook pretty booh, aud
those ."doiiis" will not be small ones
either. For the past soveral mouths
Dr. J. F. Reddy and bis associates
have been quietly prosecuting the de
velopment of the property iu order
to satuisfy themselves that ore was
thero in sufficient quantities to pay
for opciatiug it.
They are uow fully satisfied with
the prospect and negotiations toward
tho opcuiug up of the mine are now
iu progress. Thia week O. D. Oed
ilis, of Deuver, Colorado, arrived and
will take charge of tho work as sup
erintendent.
There are three routes by which a
road from these mines cau connect
with the Southern "Pacific iu thia
valley.
The mines aro situated nearly ou
the summit of tho Siskiyous aud wo
are informed by parties well acquaint
ed with tho country, that a railroad
route with easy grades can be found
long the summit of tho mountains
and cult be brought into the valley
either through tho Wagner creek or
Anderson crock pass, the latter being
preferable. Either of these passes
have the advantage of giving a route
about 15 miles shorter than tho one
via Jacksonville.
The benefits to bo derived from the
opening of these mines are fur reach
ing. No one sectiou of the valley
will receive all of them, but a general
increase, in the volumo of trndo of all
kinds will follow tho building of the
road above mentioned and tho opening
up of thia vast body of mineral.
It isn't a local proposition at nil.
It ia geiieinl.- It means a uew era,
not only Iu the mining business in
Southern Oregon, hut iu all other
kiuda of industry. Medford Mail.

"Before I broke iuto the newspaper
business I was for many yeara what
yon might call a wandering lamb on

"A galoot had come into Bisbcc
w ith some chunks of rock that looked

in iniquity and sorrow. Ho said that
ho knew where (hero was more of it
seveuty miles awi.y out where it was
hot, so we grubstaked him and told
li 1 in to go to it and might God have
mercy on his soul.
"About three weeks from that time
I waa sitting on tho commodious

when a fellow rodn iu aud bunded me
a message from tho poor devil who
was broiling out there ou the sandy
sands. It read: 'Struck a regular

and half a keg of No. 4 iron washers.
"Well, upon reading that note I de

I eonscrmcutly went over and dug my

started out to buy those burro rho
