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.
