The famous Blue Ledge copper
properly lias been sold to Robert 8.
Town and associates of Now York
Ctiy. and there is every probability
that fills mine, which promises to
equal the beat in the Butte district,
will be developed and equipped with
a smelter. The deal for the purchase
was negotiated by John R. Allen, of
New York, one of the most noted cop
per experts of the oonntry. The legal
questions were attended to by K. V.
Frothingham, sIko of New York City,
who waa the associate of Mr. Allen
in the fluai transactions. The Jack
sonville and Crew-en t City owners
were represented by Dr. J. F. Redely,
the well kuown Spokane-Medford min
ing operator, and he made the deal
with the New York eople.
The Blue Ledge properties em
brace a group of 24 claims located in
the north foothills of the Siskiyou
mountains, on the divide between
Elliott and Joe creeks on the head
waters of the Applegate river, and
are jost over the line in California. A
eompauy held the group of claims, of
which a four-sixths Interest was held
in Del Norte county by E. T. Mo
Viegh of Smith Rlvor, and W. H.
Hamilton and L. F. Cooper of Cres
oent City, ono-ilxtli waa held in Jack
sonville by Dr. J. F. Neddy, Judge
Clias. Prim, Oeo. E. Neobur and T.
J. Kenney and the other s xth wis
bold in New York City.
The new owners have begun pre
parations for an extensive develop,
nient of the property. F. W. Carua
hau, until recently in charge of a big
copper mine in Mexico, lias arrived
In Jacksonville and will take charge
as general superintendent. A force
of fto men will be put to work ex
tending the tonnels and opening up
the various veins. Thig work will be
under charge of E. L Jones, of Jack
sonville, an exerleuced copiier miner
formerly making his headquarters at
Bjiokaue. No plana for the futnre

Is in shape to warrant a smelter that

gate, where the routes to Grants Pans
and Medford diverge, it would con
tinue along the east bank of the river
and would only cross a few small
creeks and no heavy bluffs involving
expensive rock work would have to
he pasaed. The enormous water power
to be had at Qrants Pam is a factor
that will give this city an advantage
in securing a railroad up Applegate to
the Blue Ledge district.
The Blue Ledge district is one of
the largest copper deposit on the Paci
fic Coast. Copper outcroppings have
been found for the entire distance
from Squaw creek a tributary of Up
per .Applegate, on over the SiBk iyoa
mountains almost to the Klamath-
river. Over 400 claims have been lo
cated in this district, in the center of
which is the Blue Ledge group. The
ore of this district is largely chalcopy
rite and carries high average values
in copper, much of it rnnning from
15 to 40 per cent. Such a rich district
will not lie undeveloped much longer,
for with pig copper selling at 18 cent
a pound and the demand so great that
the refineries are six months behind in
their orders, capitalists will buy op
the various properties and put in
smelters. On high grade ore such as
is found in the Blue Ledge and Ta-
kilma districts the profit on the smelt
ing is enormoDs, for matte is now
produced at Butte at a cost as low as
"! cents a pound, and it wonld not
run higher than 9 or 10 cents
pound to produce copper at a Southern
Oregon smelter, with this profitable
showing it is quite certain that capit
alists will be seeking investments in
copper mines and their coming will
make certain the building of a rail
road from Grants Pass to both Takil
ma and Blue Ledge.

furnishes water in quantities for
smelter. From the mine to this
smelter site is a steady down grade of
13 per cent that would 'permit ore be
ing hauled in tram cars operated on a
cable by gravity.
The purchasers of the Blue Ledge
are among the heaviest copper opera
tors in the couutrv. In addition to
being heavily interested in American
copper mines they aro largely interest
ed in Mexican copper propel ties,
And they are also railroad builders
and last year to get transportation U
a mining district iu which they were
interested they built a branch line of
railroad of 1H2 miles in length. The
building of a smelter and the opera
lion of the Blue Ledge property will
make certain the building of a rail
road from the mine to connect with
the Southern Pacific, either at Grants
Pass or Medford. As to which tor
minus will be selected will be deter
mined by the advantages of the two
routes. To Medford is some shorter
than to Grants Pass the distance being
88 miles, but the route is over the
high divide between Applegate and
Bear creek, while the route to Grants
Pass would come direct down the Ap
plegate river. With the railroad built
from Grants Pans to the Illinois Valley,
a branch line to the Blue Ledge dis
trict would be but one mile longer
to Joes Bar from where the maiu line
would cross the Applegato river than
from Joes Har to Medford. The route
down Applegate to Grituta Pans would
be an easy water grade and the con
struction work would be light, for
from the crossing of the Little A pple-

Hummer.
The Granite Hill mine is now equip
ped with ID-stamps but it is the pur
pose of the Company to put in 10
more stamps during this Spring. This
doubling of the capacity of the mill is
fully warranted by the fine showing
the mine makes under the develop
ment that has betn extensively car
ried on ever since the present mill
was installe I nearly two years ago.
The vein has now been opined to a
depth of 400 foot and the vein on the
lower level shows up quite as rich
and strong as on the upper levels and
it lis s every indication of i ermaueucy.
An average of AO men are on the pay
roll and there is quite a village at the

are less likely fo leave for a new job
than are single men. A school was
