MINING MATTERS.
T-x i"X-X"i"i"i"i- -m-m
The Alameda Consolidated Copper
Company is now putting op a smelter
in the Galice dintrlct on what is
kuown as the Big Yank Ledge which
is rich in both gold and copper. They
also.have a large sawmill in operation
and now have 100,000 feet of timber
cat for bunk houses, hotels ore bins,
etc., for haudling 1000-ton capacity.
The present smelter capacity how
ever, is but 100 tons prr day. Masons
are now at work on the foundatin for
the smelter aud other necessary build
iugs. Work has been going on at the
mines of the company fur the pact
three years and considerable ore is
already blocked out. The smelter
will blow in aloat October 1st of the
present year. The matte from this
smelter will be hauled to Merlin for
tbipmeot. The com any also purpose
building a railroad from Leland down
to Galice which will undoubtedly
boom the Galice district, which has
been unusually active daring the pres
ent year and particularly this spring.
More activity in the Galice district
this spring than ever known io the
history of the country ; more prospec
tors have beeo in this region than ever
before. The Golden Ledge Mining
Co., a Pliiladelpbiaii concern of
which E. D. Uriggs is manager,
have just finmbed a crushing mill
and a cyanide plant which started up
last week. This company has a splen
did body of rotten porpbry which
carries good values.
The Takllma smelter closed down
last Monday after a months ran owing
to a lack of ore. Mr. Mclntyre, who
has charge of the baaliug of soppliei
and copper mat e states that the ore
this season has been of an unusually
high grade, averaging over 8 per cent,
but that it has bee a impossible to
work enough men in the mine to keep
the smelter going. Eleven 'car loads
of matte or nearly 500 tool were ship
ped to Tacoma daring the month.
Mr. Mclntyre will leave tomorrow
night for Taoouia to look after some
business matters for the Takilcoa
Smelting Co. where be will be oc
cupied for perhaps a month, after
which he expects to go te the
Klamath county to engage in freight
ing. Srjpt. Geo. Corral of the Takllma
smelter, accompanied by Cbat. Tall,
Jr., son of the president of the Takll
ma, left last Friday for Mexico where
the company has extensive copper

The Medford Maltsays'the property
of N. D. McDowell, three miles north
west of Eagle Point, bas beeo leased
by a California syndicate, whose head
quarters are in Pasadena, Cat, which
will immediately begin prospect work
to determine the amount of coal un
derlying the plaoe. The tools have
been shipped from California and are
expected within a short time.
The price paid for the lease on the
property is $100 an acre. The plaoe
consists of 200 acres of land, and on
the land are some very fine prospects
for coal. There seems bat little doubt
bot that wealth of ooal underlies the
land and the new company, will
verify few of the prospects before
purchasing the pro petty.
The work Is to be undertaken with
in short time, aooordlng to tbe in
terested parties, and will be carried
on throughout the summer. If the
prospects are as good as is thought
tbe syndicate will purchase the
property and will develop it.
