The U. S. Geological Survey has Is
sued another publication covering an
Important Industry of Jackson and
Josephine counties. The following
are excerpts from the same;
"The most productive gold quartz
mines which were In operation In
this area during the summer of 1908
were the Braden and the Opp. The
Granite Hill and Mountain Lion
mines, although not now being work
ed, have also been fairly Important
producers within the last few years.
There are many mines and prospects
on which work is now being done,
some of which have never produced,
some of which have produced values
of a few hundred dollars, and a few
of which have produced values of
several thousand dollars. At pres
ent some development is in progress
on new prospects and on mines which
were until recently closed. The total
gold production of the gold quartz !
mines of the area In 1907 was about
$70,000.
Many of the veins and velnlets
have never produced important
bodies of ore, but only "pockets,"
some of which, although filling but
small spaces, were remarkably rich,
the gold usually having been coarse.
In general the main part of the gold
In these pockets has been taken from
depths less than 25 feet from the
surface.
"The veins and velnlets run In all
directions. However, a comparison
of the more persistent of them show
ed that more He in an east-west
direction than In a north-south direc
tion. The dips of the veins vary
greatly; most of them have fairly
high dips, but some are nearly flat
and some are vertical. The width
of the veins are usually less than one
foot; a great many are considerably
less and in some places they form
an intricate network of stringers.
On the other hand, there are Vi'ins
with widths of more than 10 feel;
In such veins either 'horses' ure pres
ent, separating the vein into several
parts, and there Is a decided breccla
tlon of the materials."
Following this introduction Is a
description of the Braden, Granite
Hill, Mountain Lion and other mines.
In regard to the placer mines, the
pamphlet says:
"The placer mines of Jackson nnd
Josephine counties produced In 1907
gold to the value of $229,575, of
which $107,722 came from Jackson
county and $121,583 from Josephine
county. More than 75 per cent of
the production of Jackson county
and more than 30 per cent of that of
Josephine county came from the area
described In this report. The brief
districts contributing to this produc
tion are the Gold Hill, the Foots
Creek, the Applegnte and the Jack
sonville districts, In Jackson county;
nnd the All house and Sucker Creek,
the W'lllams Creek, the Waldo nnd
the Kerby districts In Josephine
county.
"The gravel deposits that are be
ing mined In these districts vary fn
thickness from a few feet to mori
than 50 feet. The average thickness
of the gravels of all the important
mines Is more than 20 feet. The ma
terial or the deposits range from
fine clay with but few boulders to
gravels thnt rontain boulders weigh

as a rule, fairly well rounded whre
the gradients of the stream are steep,
but where the gradients are llatt.-r,
they are snbangular and even an

In the gravels are greenstones, but
the kind of boulders vary In the dif

with the various kinds of ro
which the valleys have been rut. In
many of the deposits the coarsest
material Is at or near the bedrock,

Among other mines described Is
the Champlln mine on Foots creek,
about 2 mllei from Its Junction with
Rogue river. It Is owned by the
Champlln Dredging company, of
Chicago, which bought the property
In 19fl3 from Mr. Lance, of Gold Hill.
In the same year the company con
structed a bucket dredge equipped
with steam power. In November,
1905, electric power was Installed,
the cost of mining thereby being re
duced about one-half. Thlrty-slx
buckets are used, each of which holds
eight cubic feet of material.
The average depth of pay gravel
Is about 33 feet, but deposits of 46
feet have been mined without reach
ing bedrock. Much of the material
is less than five inches in diameter,
but boulders of large size are numer
ous. The best values are to be found
In a bluish gravel, which la general
ly reached at a depth of about 12
feet. This gravel is from 8 to 12
feet in thickness. Below it is a fine,
plastic clay, which is difficult to
handle and which carries practically
no gold. In the present workings this
clay is not being mined. The proper
ty contains more than 1200 acres of
placer ground, much of which has
been thoroughly prospected, and
found to carry gold.
The Sterling mine is also described
though since the pamphlet was pre
pared J. u. Heard has severed Ins
connection with the company. It
says:
"The Sterling mine Is on Sterling
creek, a branch of little Applegate
river and Is about eight miles from
Jacksonville. It Is owned by the
Sterling Mining company, of which
J. D. Heard Is manager. The prop
erty Includes about 2000 acres, ex
tending from a point below the
mourn oi Meriing creel; and over
the divide to Griffin creek. The gra
velbank on the west side of the pres
ent workings Is more than 40 feet
thick. The section consists of gravel
and boulders, the latter being rather
iniforiiiily distributed throughout
ths section. Many of the boulders
are small, but some are more than
two icet in diameter and few ex
ceed eight feet. They are mainly of
greenstone.
"Much mining has been done on
Sterling creek by the present com
pany. The main stream was mined
up from its mouth for more than
three miles, then u channel to the
east of this stream was followed for
about half a mile. Here a channel,
which Is named Boulder channel,
was struck, and this has been follow
ed for about a quarter of n mile to
the present workings. The bed rock
of these workings Is a little higher
than the present stream bed and is
about 100 yeards east of it. The
values are found across a width of
nearly 200 feet; The gold is medium
coarseness and Is usually well round
ed, although angular nuggets are
also present. The average thickness
of the gravels In the Boulder chan
nel Is about 40 feet. It is of Interest
to note that In these gravels the
tusks of a mammoth, as well as other
ntammnhnr bones have been found.
The bedrock of the mine is green
stone, In which are patches of slaty
stiif's. These rocks have been con
siderably sheared nnd velnlets of
'1'inrtz are present. The strike of
the slaty rocks I north 8 degrees
east, the dip about 60 degree west.
In the present workings Is a dike
running north 20 degrees east, con
taining cross veins which do not ex
tend beyond the dyke. The slope of
the bedrock Is about 2 feet In 100
feet. In 1908 mining was In progress
from March until August, during
which time about one acre was
mined. The valuu of the gravels was
about 40 rents to the cubic yard.
"The mine Is well equipped with
, ... giants, ditches and flumes. The

longest ditch Is about 27 miles in
length. The water enters the ditch
from Little Atmlegnte river about 12
miles above the mouth of Sterling

No Burglar Found.
A most amusing Incident occurred
at the boarding house of Mrs. Sadie
Hyde on H street last week. In the
evening after supper all the boarders
had gone to town and Mrs. Hyde was
alone In the front yard, watering the
lawn. On leaving the house she had
locked the back door as was he cus
tom when she was In the front yard,
and on trying to go Into the house by
the front door she found the screen
of this door also tightly latched on
the Inside. She then went to the
back door, thinking that possibly
she had locked the wrong door, but
to her consternation, found thl3 door
also securely fastened from the in
side. When Mrs. Hyde found that
she was locked out of her house,
she became somewhat alarmed, and
the fact that a horse had been stolen
from August Fetsch, living just back
of her but a short time before, did
not tend to lessen her fears, but on
the whole, added to them. Finding
her attempts to gain admittance all
in vain, she at last called In the
neighbors and told them her
troubles. As is usual in such case,
the yard was soon full of sympath
izing, friends and an entrance was
forced through the bac- k door and
preparations made to capture tho
burglar red handed. Guard were j
stationed at all the windows and
doors, and Grant Orme gallantly
offered his services in searchlua the
house. This brave gentleman armed
himself with a hatchet fn ca30 the
offender should show fight and ac
companied by Mrs. Hyde, started on
his dangerous quest of thi ' bud
man." Every room was searched,
under the beds, behind the doors,
In the closets, behind the pictures,
and even the rugs taken up and
shaken out, but no deep-dyed villain
appeared to beg on his knees a stay
of execution from that murderous
looking hatchet. After every avail
able place in which a man or a
mouse could hide himself had been
searched on the first and second
floors a ladder was produced nnd a
cautious peep was taken Into the
garret, with the same disappointing
result. In the meantime, little
Vernon Cobnrn had gone to town und
summoned tho marshal. No burglar
whs found lu the house or on the
promises, and the only way In which
the locked doors can be accounted
for Is thnt In closing the front screen
Mrs. Hyde must have let it slam
harder than she Intended, and the
hook, In Just the right position, fell
to its place, thereby securely fasten
ing the door on the Inside. This
would probably not happen more
than once in a life time, but the fact
that it did hnppen this time has
caused much amusement among the
boarders and neighbors who parti
cipated In the search. Mrs. Hyde
was perfectly justifiable In the ac
tion she took In tho case, as petty
th'vlng has been carried on to some
extent the last few weeks, and this
case certainly looked suspicious. In
the meantime everyone is smiling.
