Miners and prospectors in couni lor
able numbers are visiting the district
of the. big gold find of Sucker creek.
Tliere are grand opportunities for
prospecting in that Hold and in the
neighboring district of Althonse and
the history of thcso districts is full
of lucrative gold finds of greater or
less magnitude and importance,
though the new find is of sa'-li rich
ness as to throw into the background
all previous discoveries for many
years. When the prospectors in the
Snker creek region get so nnmerons
that they feel circumscribed by lack
of space they will find many other
districts in Southern Oregon which
will furnish them opportunities for
substantial and lucrative, gold dis
coveries. In the Wolf Creek district, II. D.
Slutor and Scribuer & Henderson
have taken out gold ly the bucketful,
the former from a vein of decomposed
quartz and the latter from a porphyry
dike which strewed a largo area of
surface with the yellow metal. Both
these finds aro permanent and are not
"pockets" as the term is understood.
Free gold finds in this district have
been nnmirous.
The Grave creek district lias
probably been prospected longer and
harder thau any other in the country
and the best of its discoveries have
boen reserved for recent years. In
this district is the famous Greenback.
Many other good ledges are being de
veloped and new finds are constantly
being uiado. Ledges which snow
gold standing out in chunks aro no
rarity in this district.
The neighboring district of Mt.
Reuben is a mine producer. Hero
aro located the Gold Bug, the Palm
er, the Copper Stain and others of
note. The ledges of this district are
generally of good strong bodies and
continuous values.
The Galico district has two of the
biggest gold copper propostious in
the west, the Almeila and the Big
Yuuk. A numb) r of excellent copper
prospects have been brought to light
in this district in recent years, while
gold producing ledges are numerous

ties as the Golden Wedge, the Sugar
Pine and tho Lost Flat all of which
have a record for amazingly rich
rock.
Mt Baldy, just south of Grants
Pass, is the apex of a rich mineral
Sold which extends sooth and east
from that point, embracing the
Murphy, Williams and Missouri Flat
districts. This country 11 prolific
in gold bearing ledges, and the rich
specimens of qnartz gold which occur
in muuy of the gulches give promise
of yet greater finds to be made, in the
future.
The Waldo distrit is becoming
famous for its magnificent veins of
copper and here is located the first
big saiolter of Southern Oregou. This
district is rich also in gold beating
rock and though oue of the oldost
mining districts of the conuty, it yet
offerB a mont inviting field to the
propsector. The same is true of the
Josephine and Canyon creek district.
Tho Pry Diggings, Jones rroek
aud Bloody Run form a district small
in area but large in possibilitiy. A
great deal of gold has been taken from
these mountains aud there is more re
maining to be found.
The Loose creek did riot is the
location of the Granite Hill, a mine
that is rapid ly becoming famous as
one of the best in the state. Other
good lodges have been discovered, are
awaiting development to be made into
mines.
The neighboring district of Jump
off-Joe embraces among its properties
the Lucky Queen, the Baby, the Oro
Fiuo' and others. This district has
produced specimen gold in quantity
and there U plenty of good prospect
ing within its borders.
The lower Illinois, Briggs croek,
Silver creek and Chotco are almost
virgin ground to the prospector for
quartz, while tho still more remote
regions of Iudigo and Colo Collier
creeks aro a - terra incognita lu that
respect. On both the latter creeks,
nn live copper has been found while
Silver creek has produced pieces of
nearly pure uutive tin of which the
sourcu has never been found.
Tho mild climate aud beautiful
scenery, with thn abundance of water
aud timber, makes a prospecting trip
in any part of Southern Oregon a
delightful outing and (he chances of
success are not surjuiHsed in any min
ing country of the continent.

in Rich gulch, which is located in
the south part ot Jack so uville, and
which is famous in the history of
the gold discoveries on the Pacific
toast as tho place where the first big
find oi gold was made in Oregon and
which caused the rush to Southern
Oregon in the winter of lhTl-u2 and
which continued lor several years
until there were thousands of miners
scattered over this section of the
state. Mr. Linn sent tho wood to
Portland Monday to his son Fletcher
Linn, who is president of the Oregon
Fnrnitore Compmy, who will have
it turned and finished in his factory,
The gavel is to be encircled by a gold
baud on which will bo enrgaved an
inscription stating the place from
which ths wood and the gold of
which it is niade was obtained. The
gold for the band will be from Rich

Asbestos Mining.
Asbestos niiuing is by means of
open cu:s aud shallow tunnels, as a
rulo. Asbestos mines are all shallow,
and it is understood that It does not
pay to follow the mineral to much
depth. In opon-cnt mining, the
mineral rook is blasted out aud the
asbetsos removed from the gangue by
the process known as coobing, which
means the breaking away of the
fibrous mat'trla! from the walls of the
vein or from other iurgedlents by the
use of hammers. The asbestos is then
assorted into grades, these depending
upon their length, fineness and flexi
bility of fiber.

A. M. Eeatiug, who left here some
time ago in company with V. II.
Hamptou to take a position with the
Jualpa Miuiug Company of Junea,
Alaska, lias written as follows to
friends in this city, ronceruiugg his
trip!
I arrived in Juanea, after a very
pleasant trip. Iwonld like to be
ab lo to describe the picturesque
beauties of the scenery along the
steamboat route, but words fail uie
when I attempt it aud am afraid my
vacabulary is inadequate to do it full
Justice, as from the time you loave
Seattle, until ycur arrival at Junea,
it is a scries of panoramic, surprises,
startling iu their varied beauty aud
grandeur reminding oue mora of some
projectoscopio entertainment, thau
an actual every day sight, changing,
as it does, from the fairy liko scenery
of the Pngct Sound Islands to the
harsh, nlujost threatening ruggedness
of tho Alaskan shores and mountains.
Tlie route with two exceptions (the
Straits of Fuca aud Queen Char
lotte Sound) lies between the main
land aud the Ishtuds that paiallel it,
aud it is nioro like taking a trip 011
some laud locked canal than on the
"broad Pacific. " At times it becomes
so narrow, that 0110 could easily
throw a stone from the steamer duck
to either shorn, aud although, to a
landsman, it looks perfectly safo for
any kind of a boat, I noticed on
several occasions that our pilot stop
ped tho Bteamor and let it drift idly
around, waiting for the tide to raise
or fall before euteritig snmo of the
passages as It attains tietneudous
rapidity as it forces its way through
aud sad is tho fate of Ihu brat that
gets caught 'In any of thoin, which
fact I saw beautifully aud vividly
exauiplifled by the skeletons of sevorul
lying on the rods that, through the
ignorance or daring of their captains
ventured to pass through when the
tido was at its most dangerous stage.
After leaving Vitcoria aud skirting
along the shores of Vancouver's
Island, tho scenery changes to a more
solid and rugged kind, thn earth be
comes solidified and everything is
rock and rocky; tho vegetation as
sumes a new character, the fir and
pine have given place to thn more
hardy spruce and cedar and instead
of soil and grass covering tho forma

and ferns ol several colors and
varieties.
On both shores aro chains of snow
capped mountains with here and there
a lofty peak which rears its hoary
head into the regions of the clouds, as
if a sentinel guarding our waterway,
a id all, strange to say, hac(l like
the Cow's Horn of the Cascude range
iu Eastern Oregou.
Every now aud then along the route
can lie seen small villages, principally
iuhabited by a sturdy class of fisher
men, who earn their dally bread by
working for somu cannery, built in
some sequestered nook, among the
rocks near tho mouth of sonio river
and is only visited occasionally by
some small steamer with supplies,
which gets in return a loud of can

Junea is built iu a cove aud is pro.
tected on the north and east by high
mountains. The south and west
facing on tho harbor j it is a cosmo
politan town of about 4000 people and
is a very busy burg. The stiees are
very uarrow and almost all planked,
every Saturday afternoon they have a
couple of men flood them with water
throcgh a hoso attached to the
hydrants, and wash the accumulated
dirt of tho week into the harbor, so
they always present a cleanly ap
pearance, at least on Sundays.
Living is liig'i, compared to Ore

houses of any sine routing from '-'5

principal fuel, retails at $13.50 per

arrival for a sucker aud bleed him to
their hearts content, when he, be
coming wise, retaliates by getting
even on some other and later sucker.
This is, so to speak, the gateway of

sldornhle money in the place, bat the
main source of revenue are the mines,
which surround ns 011 all sides, aud
which aro working and being develop
ed, sonio are very rich and oil the
largo order, a lead that won't keep,
at least, 40 stamps dropping, is looked
npou as insignificant.
Douglas Island, which is separated
from tho mainland by a uarrow
channel, lies southeai-t of Junea, and
the two towns of Douglas and Tread
well, thereon, distant about 1,'y aud
two miles respectively, are in full
view, likewise the notorious "Glory
Hole" commonly called tho Slaughter
house, on acconut of tho number of
men that got killed therein, is also
in plain sight, aud la more like an
Immense stouo quarry than a mining
stopu. The roar of the stamps as they
full can bo distinctly heard and at
this distance, sounds like the con
