SUCCESSFULEVEN
T
1 Tho fourth semi-annual mooting of
ftho Southern Oregon and Northern
California Mining Congress finished
Ills session at Yroka Saturday. It was
'tho strongest mooting In over? way
yet held by the congress. Though
tho scopq ot the territory that has
taken an interest In tho past has been
principally Jackson, Joscphlno and
Siskiyou counties. Shasta county
pawling Into lino this session with a
"forceful showing of Its powerful In
terests, It being among the first cop
per districts In tho world and" when
it gets best foot forward will lead
aha copper production of tho world
ocrordlng to some of its best Informed
(boosters. Its epper output for 1909
was over $9,000,000. Tho session of
tho congress to bo held at Redding
next May will bo staged on a great
scale.
Interesting papers were read by B.
"K. Collier, It. II. Burns, Frank J.
JNcwman, C J. Dosur, Prof. II. XI.
Parks, Prof. II. Storms, M. E. Dit-
.Bnar, S. W. French, V. 51. Richards,
and Ex-Governor John Daggett, as
well as other speeches from tho floor
brought out by tho occasion.
An Hour With the Prospector
A new fcatnro was tho introduc
tion of '"An Hour With tho Pros
pector." This was petitioned for
and Saturday morning w.is set aj
the time. Speeches wore mado by Ij.
W. .Cousins. Jack Horn,. Andrew
Thresh, J. B. Layton. C. J. Fry, and
C B. Dyer. Siskiyou prospectors,
who presented a ualqtio and interest
ing message in their own way. It had
a different tune than tho voices of
' the technical speakers and tho others
looking nt tho picture from tho view
point of tho man who is preparing to
engage largo capital. They favored
tho forest reserve as the prospectors
friend and held the railroad and tim
ber land holders as their bitterest
nod most unfair enemies. As a re
sult of their organized entrance into
tlio session the congress adopted tho
resolutions which they had prepared
stating their own grievances tho way
" tii?y wished them taken hold of by
tho various officials interested.
There was a largo bunch of feeling
mixed In tho presenting of their case
and after this was worked out the
resolutions wore adopted by acclama
tion nnd tho prospector contingent
thanked tho convention.
- Found Mother Lodo
, Tho ablest address was that of cx
Governor Daggett, tho hero of tho
famous Dlnck Bear mlno in Salmon
xLlver which produced J3.000.000 not
to (mention $1,000,000 in baso ore
that could not bo saved. Daggett Is
planning tho mlno for anothor big
run. Ho gavo sorno Interesting and
authoritative statistics of tho gold
production of Siskiyou county mines
and tho total amounted up to $150',--000,000.
Ho had mined on tho
Mother Lode In Amador county and
declared that a Mother Lodo ran
through Siskiyou and Jackson coun
ties, and demonstrated that In a
Mother I.odo district tho pay oro
ljopt up with depth. His Information
was freighted with such personal and
extended oxporlonce Hint It carried
weight in behalf of deep mining In
tho sections of tho congress's terri
tory. Thc session was ably handled by
tho officers consisting of president,
iit L. Ilerzlngor; treasurer, F. J.
Nqwmnn, and secretary, C. L. Prob-
utol and vlca-prcsidont I. J. Luco.

Without attempt to pass upon Uio
merits of tho display from a scientific
standpoint or to mako any compari
sons as hetwen the quarts or placer,
tho first thing that ono saw In Sis
kiyou county's exhibit at tho Yroka
Mining Congress wna tho display
Troni tho Highland Mine, ICO pounds
of puro white quarts, literally tied
together with gold, valuo ranging
from twenty thousand to two hun
dred thousand dollars per ton, beau
tiful enough to bo cut Into Jewelry.
Oro from tho Homestako Mlno of n
darker color, sovonty pounds. It
was hard to tell which ono would
most admire, valuo from thirty to
ono hundred thousand per ton.
Tho Overton Mlno also had a
splendid exhibit ot quarts in beauty
and valuo equal to cither tho High
land or Homestako. exactly similar
In appearance to Highland best.
Tho Indian Girl Quartz Mine. Kla
math River, exhibited beautiful
specimens. Brilliant ' spar peppered
full of bright yellow gold caught tho
eyo as the most spectacular ore
shown.
Tho Star Mine. Quartz Valley
made a display of closely grained
sugar quarts, very rich.
Among tho placer was a seven
teen day clean-up of tho Weed &
Gardner mine, Quarts Valley, $3500
In gold brick.
Scott Bar display of nuggets that
would rival tho Klondike, pieces
ranging from $2.00 to $200 in valuo
occupied tho larger half of one show
case, attracted a great deal of at
tention and was a display of itself.
Siskiyou county's big mines
brought their show of mill rock,
every part of tho county being repre
sented, notably, tho Osgood Mlno near
Yreka: Cherry Hill Mine, SchrocderJ
Golden Eagle, Morrison & Carlock;

Among resolutions reported by
the resolutions committee at the
Yreka Mining Congress and tinani-
fmously adopted was ono recom
mending a simplified proceduro gov
erning tho procuring of patents to
mineral lands.
Another commended tho "splendid
work of tho American Mining Con
gress In tho legislative creation of
tho Bureau of Mines and for Its as
sistance and work In placing the min
ing Industry on a better basis,"
pledging. "our Influence to ronder any
assistance possible."
Another commended tho work ot
tho Geological survey and requested
congress to comploto tho work of
mapping unsurvoyed sections.
Reduced rates on railroads for
minerals is urged as follews: "Legis
latures and Iho Stato Railroad Com
mlKsIons and tho Intor-Slato Com
merce Commission aro requested to
mako a thorough investigation Into
existing freight and transportation
rates In this district and to socuro
such reduction thoroot as will enable
tho miner to better develop tho many
rich properties now lying dormant for
want of such equitable transportation
rates."
A mpro liberal Interpretation of
tho nilncral laws relatlvo to tho uso
of timber and water by tho Secretary
ot tho Interior is tho subject of a
memorial, to tho end that tho minor
and prospector may bo encouraged,
Tho mining bureau of California
and Oregon are commended for their
work and tho legislatures ot tho two
Btates petitioned for euitablo appro
priations to carry on the work.
Tho congress pledged itself to
fight wildcat mlng nchomcH nnd stop
tho salo of worthies; mining securN
ties, nnd expose frauds. ,
San Diego was thanked for Its in
vitation to hold tho session of 1915
there nnd n sultahlo display of

"Kvcr since Hie prospectors of 'MO"
biased the trails over tho Sierra
nnd opened to the world tho wealth
of our gold mines, the policy of the
United States, in splendid lccnqnition
of their splendid j-orvtcc has been to
keep open to their class our mineral
lands. This policy iucoriHtrating as
it did miners' rules, adopted at
miners' meetings into the laws of the
land, nfter over half u century of
trial, has proved both its wimIoiu and
its fairness. The prospector is still
the greatest individual benefactor to
thq world's development. The "grub
stake" is t ill the nuwt patriotic in
vestment. F.vcry dollar dug from' the
carh by tho miner s a now dollar ad
ded lo (ho wealth of the nation nnd ;t
is a clean dollar. Over three liutu
dred millions of such doling have
been found by tho prospector nnd
mined and milled by the miners from
the very mineral belt which this con
gress represents. Within this same
area hidden ni vein and ancient chan
nel nrc still, immeasurable treasures.
Kvcry mine easts its trace. Tho pros
pector with pick and pan. pluck and
patience seeks the trace and follows
it to the mine. This trace must he
left for the prospector to follow. The
mine mint remain his to find nnd with
the finding the right to work mimt he
his. , , ,
Rnllroaib Hold Third
Contravening this oliey nnd deny
ing to the prospector thuso long tiu
uuqestioned rights, the Southern
Pacific and Oregon California Hall
way company is now claiming practi
cally one-third of the great mineral
belt ex tenting through Jackson and
Joscphnc counties, Oregon, and Siski
you, Trinity nnd Sluihta counties,
California. This claim is in defiance
of the express terms of its grant and
against the very langungc of its pat
ents. . Believing this claim to be without
right and that its blight upon the
mining hidiibtry should be removed.
not by driving the miner to engage at
his own expense in litigation with that
Mnverful corjioration but by govern
ment action without expense to the
miner, jtu-t a is being done towards
tho oil lauds today.
To ItcIcaM) Minerals
Therefore, Re it rcolved that he
miners of Southern Oregon and
Northern California in this congress
assembled: do hereby respectfully re
qucnt the proper fedoral and state
authorities to take immediate steps
within this mineral belt to have the
mineral lauds therein covered by
claims or patents to the Southern
Pacific railway eompanv or its affi
liated corporations or 'its predeces
sors in intercut oxempted nnd scgrnt
ed from said claims and patents and
restored to public domain and to the
right of the miner lo prospect for nnd
locnto claims thereon.
Re, it further rasolvcd that tho
'copies of Ibis resolution properly
certified be hcnt to tho attornoy gen
eral of tho Hni(cd States, the director
of the Uitrcau of .Mines, our congress
men and United States senators and
the stato mineralogists of Oregon nnd
California.
Ju addition, the following resolution
was adopted seeking tlio co-oporntioii
of tho Forestry Iliirenu in probing
railroad grants.
Conservation Resolution
lie it further rciiolved, that it is
of (his congress that the National
Forest Policy and service has proved
an efficient agency, not only in pro
serving for the prospector the tin
dlscjovered mineral dejximls in the
district, by preventing their acipiisi
tiou through non-niiiicrnl entries, but
in facilitating their location, enjoy
ment and patenting by good faith
mineral claimants in accordance, with
laws parsed in the iutcrofat of minnrH.
Be it frtlier resolved, that it is
tho sense of this congress that tliu
Forest service employees in tho field
should bo aiithorlzci to investigate in
connection with the minors, the lauds
covered by railroad grants and other
non-mineral patents in the mineral
belt, preparatory U) government ac
tion in having such lauds as aro

Among tho lutetohttng exhibits
from Shasla county at tho Yreka
Mining Congress una one from tho
Mtumuoth Copper Co., owning tho
Mammoth mlno which Iran produced
$2(5,000,000 In the past alx years, and
Is operating a twelve hundred ton

county. This exhibit Included largo
blocks of tho ores from tho , mlno
showing tho nssaja of each grade,
copper .matter representing tho first
concentration from tho furnaces, and
blister copper, showing tho otuput
of tho converters.
Blister Copper
A mnsslvo display of blister cop
per, ready for the refinery, and car
rying from !S to 99 per cent of tho
red metal, attracted a great deal of
attraction, Tho output of Shasta
county during 1909. In copper, gold
and sliver, according to official fig
ures, exceeded $9,I3G.000, and the
copper mines of the county alone,
during tho past IS years, havu pro
duced $72,000,000.
Probably tho most Important ex
hibit was tho display from tho lioroult
electric Iron furnaces, located on Pit
River, Shasta county. Tho display
included the magnetic Iron oro. cur
rying an average of approximately
(50 per cent Iron, nnd nlso the othur
elements as they enter tho charge.
Pig Iron l)iduy.
That tho development of electric
Iron smelting has been sucesstulty
worked out. was demonstrated by a
fino display ot Iron pig, the product
of Hcroult. This pig Iron was dis
played in four grades nnd the product
Is classed with tho best grades pro
duced in America.
