MANY RICH MINES (Continued from Page 1.) mile apart. The first one, which Is near the river, is called the "Yank" ledge. This Is already famous be cause of the rich mines which have been opened on It. The largest vein so far discovered Is the Al meda, the Rand and the Allen, all belonging to the same company. The next ledge has the Sugar Pine, one of the first quartz mines to bo work ed. Dan Green and his brother, George, took a large amount of gold out of this property in the early days with an arrastra and the mine is said to be very rich. The Oriole Is on this same ledge and is already a pro ducer and a paying proposition. Only a short time qgo a strike was made on this property which has made for it a great reputation. The Golden Wedge is another mine on this same ledge and this Mr. Harvey thinks will become a producer when sufficient depth is reached. This mining man Bays that Galice will be one of the best mining camps In the world when development work extends down from 1000 to 2000 feet. He speaks In tho highest terms of the Oriole, because Its man agers are doing intelligent develop ment, and he gives tho Almeila us an Illustration of what depth will do. This mine has a shaft which has reached a depth of something over 000 feet and the history of Hb sink ing is that the ore has Improved as depth was reached. This practical miner loses no opportunity to ad vise nilnoowiiers In the Galice dis trict to spend their money In wing down. Hi? believes In tho old say ing, "Sink deep to find Hie gold." The Alineda lias been doing this and Mr. Harvey Is of Iho opinion that It vlll become one of tho richest pro ducers In the whole country. Ho talks liMiKt interentlngly of Ih'il famous mine, tho Old Channel, which ho recently Bold to eastern parties. The mine be tells about has been worked continuously for slxtly-fonr yours and has enough rich gravel to last, a hundred years more. There In another property, the Lewis and Jewell mine, which .t a dredging proposition. This has very rich pay dlit and at one tlnn- returned from $ 7 T, to 112." to the man. Tin- owners last year made a test with a small dredging tniichliio and It was so suc cessful that they were encouraged to Install a largo up-to-dato dredging machine. In his talk he mentioned the old Greenback mine, 18 tnll'-s northwest of Grant i Pass, which was a great prodieer for n long time, when It fell into Inexperienced hands and the ledge was lust, hut the orig inal manager Is again In charge and he Is producing gold as of yoro. This, lie thinks, Is evidence that ex perience Is highly Important In ev ery mining proposition. On thn same ledges with the Gal be district, and toward California, are to hi? found mnto very valuable -nipi-i tb s In the Wiiblo district. Tin Waldo Kertlon has it history that .roe back Into the seventies, It. has !"'P gravel and tho whole district : t rl'ii In placer gold.

Cramer Bros I. O. 0. F. Block sident and Colonel Frank M. Leland general manager. They have under this company the WImer, the Osgood placer and the noted Simmons- Cameron-Logan property. Tho busi ness of mining will be carried om a largo scnle In the future and by the latest and most popular methods. This particular company has men of experience In this kind of worK and It Is expected that the coming senson will prove highly satisfactory In gold production. The values In the ledges spoken of, extending the whole dis tance from Callce to the California line, are sufficient to pay the nation al debt If they could bo saved. The gold and other valuable mineral make Josephine county the leading mining section In regon. This great wealth ran bo secured by men of ex perience who have tho necessary cap-. ltal to develop these properties. Space will not permit us on this occasion to mention many other mines and mining sections tributary to Grants PnBH, but that nearly ev ery part of Josephine county has de veloped gold In paying quantities Is a fait well known to mining men. kl KHY lli:.ltl 1 ROM Awny back in the fifths little old Kerby wan tinging to the tune of tho pick and shovel of u tho isand min ors.
