DILLER PICTURES HUMS
AND NEARBY MINERAL REUS
Address by J. S. Dlller, United States
Geological Survey, beforw the South
ern Oregon and Northern California
Mining Congress, July 18, 1911.
My work In the Unite! States goo
logical survey bas led nie to 6pend
it number of summers In studying the
geology of northern California and
Oregon. Tho rceulis a far as pub
lished, are contained la the reports
of which a list Is glvan In a leaflet
liiisued by the survey, together with
Information as to how they may be
obtained. Copies of this leaflet and
some of the reports may be seen In
the exhibit.
In response to the request of the
committee to addreHS the ccngreiss, I
have prepared a sketch map of north
ern California and Ore?on, showing
by colors the general distribution
of the geological formations and
thus Illustrating at the same time the
general attribution of the most Im
portant belts.
My thanks are especially due to
Prof. Fayette A. Jones, the courteous
and efficient mining engineer of the
Oriole, who kindly placed at my dis
posal the facilities of bis excellent
laboratory.
The mountain belt of the Pacific
states Includes a numbe- of distinct
ranges. On the north there are the
Cascade range and the Coast range
of Oregon separated by the Willam
ette or Bound valley. On the south
are the Sierra Nevada and the Coast
range of California separated by the
. great valley of that state.
About the Oregon-California boun
dary,, where all these rai ges appear
to meet, there It a group of raoun
aln ranges and peaks extending from
Rogue river In Oregon to Mad river
In California that constitutes a dis
tinct range, which was narked many
years ago by Major Powell, the Khm
ath mountains. Grants Pass Is among
the hills of the Klamath mountains,
quite distinct from the Cuscade range
east of Ashland and Medfoid or the
Coast range of Oregon farther north.
I wish to urge the more genural adop
tion of this useful comprehensive
name, Klamath mountains. The'r
distinction Is chiefly geological
The Cascade range extends 'from
Lasaer Peak In California north
across Oregon into Washington. Tho
Sierra Nevada extends southeast In
California. The Coast range of Cal
ifornia from Mad rivet southward
and the Coast rango of Oicgon from
Rogue rlvor near the coast north
ward, whllo the Klamath mountains
lis chiefly In tho drainage of Klam
ath river In California.
Tho colors on the map Indicate the
character and geologic age of the
rocks.
Red separates the lavas ihul flow
ed from great volcanoes of tho Coh
cado rango from Lausr.n Peak Mt.
Bhauta and the others to .Mt Hulnl' i'
In WaHhlngtou. The reJ bund Is the
western edgo of tho grca; luvu field
that covers much of Cniiforulu. Ore
gon and Washington. It is of terti
ary ago and much of It has (lowed
out and covered older auriferous
gravels In the older r vr channels
of tertiary time.
Tho yellow color rt;rosentt, the
tertiary and later sodlmouiu') forma
tions, which contain ih coal about
Coos bay and along Uogui ilver val
ley, ns well as tho Liter d ."po.it K
which fill the Sacramento nn I ether
valleys.
Tho green color represents the
rocks, chiefly sedluientiu, formed on
tho ocean bed Just before tertlaiy
time. They belong to ihe i cetaceous
u and occur at Rlddleb and Ash
land In Oregon and Ueddiun In Cal
ifornia,
Tho tertiary and cretaceous roi fcs
In many places Ho flat or dtp but
gently. They are rarely much dis
turbed and are not much alter d.
They are younger than the great met
alliferous deposits of tu older rock.
Next comes the bluo, which sep
arates tho purasalc rocks. They were
Involved In tho crushing ai.d moun
tain butldlim that formed the Sierra
Nevada and Klamath mountains and
contain a portion of tho valuable met'
allferous deposits, formed at that
time. The northern bdo of Califor
nla was formed then In Jurassic rocks
and It Is Interesting to note that
Jurassic rocks are abundant on the
borders and within tho Kt ninth
mountains. The belt of uraslo slate
ut Oallce has some of the character
istic fossils that occur In the moth
er lode region of Mariposa county,
California
The several areas of purple In the
Klamath mountains represent mica
schists that occur In thj south fork
Salmon and Siskiyou mountains. The
area on the boundary o( Oregon is
probably much larger than repre
sented. These rocks are "he oldes
known in the region, but their age
Is not yet well established.
The orange color, covering the larg
est area In the Klamath mountains
and the Sierra Nevada, represents
rocks which are chiefly of carbon
iferous and devonian axe, but some
later odb may be included and vtith
tho sediments there are predominat
ing rniiBses of Igneous rojks of l-any
types and intrusions.
These rocks have been ensbad and
highly mineralized, posslb'y several
times, and contain many mineral de-
posits of economic value, thorgh, p
haps on the whole, of not greater Im-
portance tnan tnose in tnt- Jurassic.
The points to which I wish to tall
your special attention Is that the
geological formations of the Klamalh
mountains are essentiaii ido same ns
those of the Sierra Nevada, being
paleozo.lc, chiefly carbonlf irons with
some Jurassic.
The formation In tv.e Klamath
mountains change their strike or
course across the country from north
west to northeast.
In the southern part of the Klam
ath mountains they have the same
trend as in the Sierra Nevada, north
west and Southeast, but in Oregon
they turn, so as to rur noitheast to
wards the Blue mountains of eastern
Oregon.
The mineral belts and belts of
folding and faulting, In general, fol
low the same courses. In Trinity
and Siskiyou counties of California
they run northwest and southeast In
Josephine, Jackson and Douglas coun
ties, of Oregon, they run noitheast
and south west.
Tho general conclusion Is that the
Sierra Nevada of California, the
Klamath mountains and the Blue
mountains of Oregon are all In the
same general zone of mineralization

HONOR TO MAN WHO
DEVELOPS MINING
By W. J. Wimer, for 30 years a
successful placer mining operator In
Josephine County.
A stranger, dropping into Grants
Pass and noting the permanent build
ings, substantial street work, cluster
lights, modern depot buildings and
the Immense stock of goods la all
lines, naturally wonders what there
is back of It all to' Justify such evi
dences of permanency.
The visitor sees machinery of ev
ery kind, also furniture, flour, feed
and potatoes en route for the Inter
ior, and he looks in vain to see what
the country is selling to create a bal
ance of trade. There Is some lumber,
some fruit, hops, livestock, and a few
smaller Items, but he feels certain
that from anything visible on the sur
face the splendid growth of the conn
try and the city of Grants Pass Is
not based entirely upon Us market
able produce. v
The best opportunity for the
stranger or any one eise to form a
correct ldea ag t0 the maln 80Urce of
our money ,s now an open Mh,Wt fof

auspices of the Mining Congress.
The mines of Josephine county
more than any other one resource,
have been responsible for the coun
ty's prosperity and steady growth,
and the satisfied appearance of Its
metropolis."
Silently the miner digs away In
his claim and at certain intervals he
steals away to town and Bells his
"dust." Delivery of his crop attracts
no attention, since very few know of
it. His output does not loom hp like
a load of hay, wood, hops or wool.
He does not have four horses to pull
it to market. H has aiad? no pub
lic noise trying to "drive" a bargain
on a low-freight rate with his neigh
bor. He does not go up and down
the streets venting his disgust at the
way commission men have unjustly
robbed him In the market centers,
both In price and condition of ship
ment. That old miner, who so Quiet
ly drops Into town.lugs his gold to
the bank, drops It on the counter,
as If he was about worn out carry
ing the mean stuff around, gives a
sigh of relief, and the cash market
seeking It, swallows It up. The ratl
road officials mop their brows be
cause the gold output represents so
many thousands of dollars of busi
ness with so little freight on it, and
the scene is closed.
The quiet miner now wends his
way back to his diggings and again
the search begins for the "precious
metal," until Buch time as It becomes
necessary to carry it to the banker
or country dealer,' who for many
good reasons, helps him to keep his
secret from the public. Placer gold,
In paying quantities, was scattered
all over the southern Oregon, and, as
a result, the placer mines attracted
more attention in the past than the
quartz because easier and more cheap
ly handled as a means of getting
ready cash. The extent and richness
of tho placers surely have proven the
existence of rich quartz deposits
deeper in 'the ground. If the disin
tegration of the outcrops of the
ledges have yielded millions of plac
er gold, what about the main bodies
of ore, as yet remaining untouched?
The farmer Is enabled to trade his
produce for general merchandise, so
long as the miners dig out the money
with which to buy the merchant's
stocks. When the Bmall rancher needs
cash to pay taxes or other debts he
or his boys or all of them go and
mine or work in the mines and sqnart
up accounts.
Hut for our mines a good many
of our cltiiens would have to deny
themselves many luxuries now com
mon, and they would have to get one
half of their profits from their owi
ctoiiomy, Piodure mora of thn nec
essities of life or go without thea.
With proper development of our
vnst" mineral resources, consisting of
sold, copper, iron, tin, chrome, plat
laum and other nines too numerous
to mention, here we may go on indaf.

AMOS RIXBY DIES .
FROM SCARLLT FEY Kli
Amos Blxby, aged 14', son of James
Blxby of the Angelo Studio, died
Saturday morning at 2 o'clock after
an illness of three weeks. The lad
was Just recovering from a severe at
tack of typhoid fever when scarlet
fever symptoms developed Friday ev
ening. A funeral service was held at the
Granite Hill cemetery at 2:30 Sat
urday afternoon by Rev. F. C. Lovette
and was attended by the father, two
sisters and one brother. A mother,
two other sisters and another broth
er Burvive.
The dead boy was a member of the
Grants Pass high school and bas lived
in this place a little more than one
year.
HOYS SENTENCED TO
YEAR IX REFORM SCHOOL
Five Grants Pass boys, ranging in
age from 10 to 14 years, have been
sentenced by Judge Jewell, to one
year in the reform school, and the
sentences suspended during good be
havior. In mercy to the parents the
names are not printed.
The youths were convicted of theft,
having filched money from compan
ions' clothes while the owners were
sporting in the river, for stealing a
watch and money from an automobile
and for other thieving.
The court stated that the first In
fraction of the law proved on any
one of the culprits would send the
offender to the prison, which now
bears the soothing name of "training
school."
