There, ia a reasonable certaiuty that

it may exceed in size, that of any
other mines in Oregon for if the pn -s-

There is a likelihood that the Jewett
miue, located ou Mt. liahiy four
miles soothfast of Grants Pass, is to
be again put In operation. This mine
lias been shut dowu for several years,
but at one time it was a rich producer
and made mouey for the owners. The
surface ore was a high grade, free
milling ore, but ou lower depth.) be
ing reached, the ore became base and
could no longer be handled by the
quartz mill with which tho mine
was equipped. TWo cyanide "process
had net then come into general use,
so the mill, which has five stamps,
has stood idle. J. 8. Hoar, v ho re
sides at tho mine and has charge of
the property, has received word from
Benjamin Healey, the owner of the
mine, and who resides in Sau Fran
cisco, that lie will arrive in Grants
Pass iu a short time and will then
take up tho proposition of installing
a cyanide plant at his mine.
The extensive development work
heretofore doue on the Jewett has
proved that the mluo hns an extensive
lilge carrying good values and that
it could be made one of the big pro
ducers of Southern Oregon, were it
equipped with proper machinery for
handling tho ore. The successful
operation of tho Jewett mine would
give a big impetus tu mining iu the
Mt. Baldy district. This district
embraces Mt. Ilahly, Green and
Urouso mountains, and each of these
but top, for they lack considerable in
size to be mountains, is rich in
quartz ledges, there now being over
ill) bilges thut have been located and
as more thorough prospecting work
is done, tnoro ledges are found.
Nearly every ledge so far found pros
pects well and there is every reason
to bcliuvo that many of these claims
will yet prove to ho valuable. This
district is exceptionally well located
as to accessability by roads and to
water power from lingua river
Thorn is a good wagon road from the
district to Grants Pass on an easy
grade and tho In. ul is but from four
to eight miles from tho railroad to
thu various mines ltogiu river flows
by the foot of Mt. Baldy and at this
point in the liver is located the big
dam and power plant of the Golden
Prift Milling & Power Company. To
string wires from this great power
plant to the mines, would be an i asy
matter and electrio power could bo
delivered at a price much less llian
sleaiii bower would cost. The de
velopment of the .-t. ilaldy disti iet,
lying as it does so near Grants Pass,
would be a verv large factor In the
prosperity of this city, for the pay
roll and the trade would be practically
as though within the city itself.

Them on Canyon Creek.
W. I. Fleck, superintendent of the
mino being opened up on Canyon
creek by the Lewis & Clark Mining
Company, was in Grauts Pass for
several days this week. Mr. Fleck
slated that work was shut dowu at
the mine last Saturday autl will not
be resumed for six weeks. During
this interim power drills will be in
stalled and oilier improvements made
about tho mine. A ditch will bo put
in to bring water from Lightning
Fulch witli which to operate an over
shot wheel .that is to drive the air
compressor for the drills. Supt. Fleck
says that tho ore is making a Due
showing both as to values and quan
tity, and it has so encouraged Ins
company that they w ill continue de
velopment work until tho full extent
of their mine is known. This de
velopment work will bo carried on all
spring and until late in tho summer
by which time the decision will be
made as to putting ill a mil), which is
luite certain to bo.douo this fall.

Mr. Jewell states that the patronaife
of his routo is steadily increasing.
There are uow 116 boxes aud three

for an entire mining camp. The roads
have been hard to get over, especially

been very muddy, but the various

Mr. Jewell lias reported to tho De

are being tampered with by hoodlums
and if tho holes are not lut aloue,
some oiio is likely to take a trip to

On one trip last week, Mr. Jewell
found the flags oil 10 of thu boxea dis
