(Hy H. W. Liljeemm.)
The Hio.t fnmnns pocket so fnr ill
eou'red is the one from which the
toun of Gold Hill tskus in mum',
winch was discovered in 1857, on top
of the mountain about two miles east
from the town of Gold Hill.
In this in-stance, the story poos the
,i)l(l cropped out in sernpgy -J '"
mnsxiw form Hint was so full of gold
Hint it required no slight effort with
a large hammer, heathis? alternate
was, to dinlode it from the ninsshe
cropping. 1 have -ecu some Mich
chunks, originally from thw place,
and thev eettniuly hoar out the state
ment, the rock portion of the .pvei
meiis heinj a "somewhat erystallixed
quart, which, howeuir, doe- not show
any honeycombed feature-., such a-. -
often noted where sultldes hae
leached out of the nick, leaving
sprays of gold in the eaity.
Legend states that the gdd in this
pocket went dywn only 1" feet. I am
fairly familiar with the spot and im
mediate ieinity, and can state that
the find was in a fi-iire ein, strike
about south 'JO degree- east, dip
about 80 degree- from the horizontal
to the east, with a gash ein cutting
the fissure, nearly due oast and wet;
din, ertical. The. fissure vein will
nerni:e a slroiiir five feet between
walls with olio to two feet of gouge
on foot wall, which contains some
cnlcito and quartz mixed with n little
sulphide or iron, which, in spots, con
tnuins free gold. A deposit of mien
less granite, nbout five feet wide by
IMissihly 200 feet long, crops in the
foot wall side of the fissure. The
country rock is pyroxenyte. It is
snid tlmt this pocket produced nt
lenst $700,000, with a number of
smaller finds in this immediate vicin
ity, none over 300 feet from the large
deposit.
Iloarlng Gimlet Pocket.
The Roaring Gimlet pocket, discov
ered in 1893, is situated at the mouth
of China Gulch, nbout two and one
half miles due south of the Gold Hill
pocket. The Gimlet pocket gold was
apparently liberated from oxidized
sulphides, with very little quartz; the
surface showed a porphrydyke two
feet thick on the foot wall, and n
slate hanging wall; soft gauge from
one-fourth of an inch to six inches
between slate and porphyry', with the
gold in the Range; strike of vein, east
and west; dip, 80 degrees to the
north. This contaained a number of
pockets, three- between the surface
and a depth of 40 feet, where the
gauge continued down between solid
dioritic walls, with a sprinkling of
iron sulphides inos in small kidneys
of caleite and quartz, looking very
much like the veing filling in the Gold
Hill vein. Several small pockets were
cxtrncied just cast of the large Gim
let pocket, nil within 300 feet of the
first. .Combined, they are said to have
equaled $10,000.
Illiotcn rocket.
The Ithoten pocket was in throe
feel of micnloss granite, with a nine
inch band of quartz on each side,
with slate wall rocks in the vein crop
ping of this pocket. Strike, north
and south; dip, (JO degrees to the oast
from the horizontal. The gold was
found in the foot wall quartz. I had
the pleasure of seeing several speei
mens that showed the free gold in the
dear quartz, without sulphides. A
repetition of pockets were found be
tween the surface nnd a depth of 40
feet. This pocket had been credited
with amounts from $10,000 to $00,
000. Prior to this discovery, a num
ber of pockets were found in this
locality, none over 500 feet from the
largo one.
It will ho seen ftom these descrip
tions that the granitic or feldsputhic
rock is fully in evidence with the gold
deposit; this the writer has noticed at
tlio old workings of pocket finds.
Faulting of fissure veins usually
show extra lurgo gold values in this
region.
Doesn't Follow Lend-;.
Tlio reasons why pookets nro not
found at n depth of 100 feet or more
nro Hint tlio nverago prospector or
discoverer of a pocket gets tlio money
so easily nnd quickly that he devotes
littlo or no thought or labor to new
conquests, until the most of his
wenlth is gone. To go back into the
old holo is not very encouraging, as
ho nppurontlv took out everything
worth having; thon tho hole is usually
too deep to cast the cm Hi out with a
shovel; it is also getting haidor and
would entail tho use of drills, powder
and at least a windlosa with which to
raiso tho dirt, so that docs not size
up right. 'When ho does do is to pan
tho dirt in different places, trying to
catch whut is rnlled "u trace," that
', free gold, tho sourco of which U
called tlio pocket,

Funny how thlnas will happen, bijt.
somehow they just happen. Mr. I
James Just happened to stop oft in"
Medford when the mining congress'
was in session last week and it justj
happened that Mr. James is some
thing of a mining man himself ; and
it happened again that he got inter-!
osted in tho mineral exhibits and liko-'
wlso intorostod in the fruit produc
ing as woll as mineral producing
qualities of this part of Oregon, and
to all these happenings may be di
