THURSDAY. MAY 13.1926 MINING NEWS CENTRAL POINT AMERICAN MEDFORD NEWS Samples o f cinnabar from the Mountain King were brought to the Bureau this week. This is one of the oldest mercury mines )h the dis trict, but has been mined in the usual gopher fashion. When the engineer in charge, Mr. Walter C. Willard began to try out the prop erty, he foun dthe vein to run for a distance o f over eight hundred feet, and at four hundred feet depth the ore was much better than at the surface. It will average more than forty pounds o f quicksilver to the ton, and is remarkably free o f all impurities. The mine will be put into production in a business like way, and will blaze a path for further development along the same lines. That we do occasionally get men like Mr. Willard in here is one o f the things which encourage the Bureau in its work. With the readvent o f Williams of Ilwaco, there are now eleven M. E.’s here, either working on some defin ite thing, like Baily, Esterly and Wil lard, or looking the ground over, like Yates and Williams. Nothing may “ happen,” but something will surely grow out o f the work they do. L. H. VanHorn is in Los Angeles on business connected with the Happy Though o f Gold Hill. Van usually comes back with some ad vance in town. J. C. Edwards, o f the Ida, has spent the past three weeks improv ing the road to the mine, preparatory to installation o f heavy machinery J. T. Logan is reported to have brought in two bars o f bullion from the Osgood, representing a part of the season’s clean-up. Development work continue» on the Wedge, the Pleasant creek, the Bates on Foots creek, the Apex and Sleepy Hollow at Gold Hill, the Oriole and Robertson at Galice, the Great I Am and the Heyward on the Applegate, and the Robert E. on the Chetco. Visitors during the week include Ryno o f Pleasant creek, Donovan o f Waldo, Jackson Hayes and Logan of Gold Hill, Miller o f W olf creek, Gregg o f Riddle, Creco o f the Chetco Wilkin o f the Applegate, Thane and Dean o f Galice.

Their new location will be with the Medford-Klamath freight line on North Front street. Mr. and Mrs. M. Maynes, known as the “ Wondering Kings,” were in Medford last week. Their car, a large Chandler, attracted consider able attention, it being literally cov ered with photos taken by them on their tour o f the world. To date they have traveled 783,980 miles and are members o f the 100,000 Mile Chanlder Club, having driven this Chandler the entire distance. The Medford DeMolay drill team won first prize at the La Grande convention in competition with the Sunnyside Chapter o f Portland and the team o f Salem.

Mining Bureau) O f the placer mines in the district, the Llano de Oro and the Layton are still running, with water fo r an other two months. The Sleepy Hol low, at Sardine creek, has all its ma chinery in place, and has been busy adjusting. The pump has been tried out, and proved very satisfactory. Water shortage is very marked throughout the vicinity. The Gatlee district bids fair to be the center of considerable activity this summer. The Robertson and Oriole mines worked all winter, and the Western Metals will soon resume development. On Silver creek, there are several prospects which are being sampled and tested by interested cap ital, and there are some five or six outside engineers busy inthat field. There were twelve outsiders in the office o f the Bureay on Monday alone. * Reports continue to trickle in with regard to the strikes in southern Cal ifornia. So far they agree that as a mining boom it is a good advertis ing proposition. The country is re ported to be staked solidly for a dis tance o f ten miles from the strike in every direction. California’s great mineral field is nearer Oregon than Los Angeles. The Great I Am, and the Hayward mines in the Ferris Gulch district o f the Applegate are again in pro duction. Forty-one ounces on the plates from twenty-four tons o f ore was the only report made. Henry M. Lancaster is in Colorado for the summer. M.

O f course you have always appreciated the ad vantages of c(K»king by electricity. You know that it means no more fuel to carry; no more ashes to lug. You know that electricity is the ideal cook ing heat;econom ical because it is turned on when you need it — not before; turned off when you’ re through— not later. But perhaps you would like to know exactly what it cost? — in dollars and cents. T h e 1800 satisfied families w ho now use electric ranges served with electricity by this com pany would gladly show you their hills, if they could. W e have made an average of these hills, so that we may give you the facts. T h e average cost of electric lights alone in all homes served by this company in Oregon is $2.20 a month. T h e aver age cost of their electric lights and electric cook ing together is $5.62 a month.
