The Spokesman-Review of the lotl) in stant gives much prominence to the follow ing Interesting Information lurulshed by .lis Granite correspendent: It has remained for a Spokane syndicate to undertake one of the largest mining en terprises in eastern Oregon. Tills enter prise contemplates the tunneling of Que bec mountain, perhaps the tidiest in all of eastern Olegon. The tunnel has al rendy been stalled, and Is in 50 feet. It is 7x7 feet in tlif clear, and when com pleted will be 3000 feel long. There are eight men employed, and considerable trogiess Is being made. The promoter pf this enterprise is the Aldrln luiiueliouipaiiy, composed n( Spo kane capitalists, and the work is in charge of C. R. Aldrlu. As the ledges in Quebec mountain, upon wlikh are located such lamous prop erties as tin Quebec, Alamo, Scandia and Van Auda mines, an Irom 250 to 350 feet apart, the company expects to cut perhaps a doeu ledges with its tunnel, and at tain a depth of at least 1200 feet. C. R. Aldriu, who has operated exten sively in the Okanogan and Colorado mining districts in the past live years, as a result of his investigation of the geolog ical formation of eastern Oregon's vast mineral one, has given some valuable in formation regarding the character of the ore that may be looked for in any given locality. Mr. Aldrln linds that the northern half of this mineral belt, which Is about sixty miles wide and runs from northeast to southwest, carries tree milling gold, the northern portion sulphurets carrying the gold values and the western portion the baser combinations with other metals. He also makes the auuuoucement that most of the porphyry dykes crossing the country are of an older formation than the ore bodies, and that in consequence these dykes are of inestimable value to the pros pector in locating ledges. Wherever the dykes have been formed subsequent to the ore bodies the veins Insatiably carry from a foot to two feet of tree milling ore along the hanging wall. These dykes Mr. Aldtin takes as con clusive evidence of the existence of a granite foundation to all of this country. Ore bodies, he contends, will retain their milling properties down to the granite substratum, which is from 1200 to ic.co leet deep. The geological structure of the country leads him to the conclusion that there Is absolutely 110 Inundation for the ' theory advanced by some that the ores In this section must give out or grow base with depth. The ore bodies obtain their values Irom the surrounding rock and not from the interior of the earth; hence the values cannot run out until the granite Inundation is reached. What thrte may be below the granite formation, Mr. Al drln says only deep mining operations cm determine. Grizzly Gold Mining Co. 3 .
