In (lie list of nopper developments
Hulking substantial progress in the
district tribtilnry to Medford is tlint
of the United Copper eoiiipiiny in the
tlnivo Creek district, !ia miles from
this city. This is one of the must
)roniisiii(,' copper properties in the
west" both in extent and richness of
ores. Little has been heard of it for
Koine time, due largely to the change
in ownership and to the (piiet methods
V,f development employed by the new
'company, whose members are Se
attle people. .' ,
The Copper Kiiifr, on which the
chief development work is now in
progress, was formerly operated by
' the Unlock brothers as a gold mine;
but when the investigator for the
United Copper company had complet
ed his work, that organization took
it over as copper property, utihvtili
slandiiif; the fact Hint the ore showed
u'jfood uverajje in jjold a very large
average at times. The percentage of
copper, however, was so attractive
that the name was changed and vigor
ous work beinii to develop it as a cop
per properly.
Easiness I'Voni the Start.
The United Copper company is
composed largely of voiine; men who
bce.au work on ibis property to make
a mine. They were not mere prospec
tors, whose ambition-was to uncover
something to sell. The big money to
be made in a good mine is found in its
-scientific operation. On this practical
theory they began business.
An CMiiipment was at once pnr
I'hased and lias rc-emly been install-
ed. H consists of an excellent air
coinpres-or, several machine drills, a
concent ni I ii'g plant, in which a lilakc
crusher, a Kjiu-t humping screen, a
set of Slurtcvaul rolls with a capacity
of tw.i tens per hour (arrangements
have been made to replace these with
roughing ro'M, otic Knust jig with a
"daily capacity of ."0 tons, an Atlas
engine, together with elevators, con
veyors, abundant water supply, belt
,iug, shafting, and other accessories
necessary. A '2")-horse power boiler
will be delivered to the plant this week
with a lbxUJ steam engine, bringing
the capacity up to oo-horse p'lwer.
'flic ultimate capacity of the plant will
he ."ill tons of raw ore per day.
Sawmill on lie lioad.
A sawmill plant has been installed
and is now busy' turning oat the
necessary lumber.
Hight off the reel the company pro
posed lo gel its prodiict out to Hie
world. Its I'iivt carload of concen
trates is now en route to the Taeoina
& smelter. The only road leading lo a
connection with the Southern l'avitic
is from the mine to I. eland in Joseph
ine county the mine lining situated in
Jackson, county. It is Hi miles up
Kvans creek valley from Uogue Iiivcr
to the property. Nine miles of road
mast be built to make (he c innection
that way. 'file United Copper com
pany, I lie timber men ami the farmer
of Kvnn.s creek valley have already
nplclcd the plan to construct that
st retell of mountain i'oad to enable
them to deliver their output to the
Southern Pacific at Koguc Uiver.
That is a type of enterprise suggestive
of real business. The completion of
that stretch of road will make Med
io rd the headquarters 0r all of the
camps of the CI rave or'el; district.
All Offci-'Tilrncd Down.
Since the Ujiited Copper company
liee-an to develop its properties it has
received and refused an offer of
fl.'iO.Omi ea-.li for its "prospect."
The ledge in the Copper King lw
iflieen uncovered 88 feet. The shaft
is 5(1 feet in depth. The ledge i.ver
ages better than seven feet ail tin
way down, on a Ill-degree dip. Cco
logicallv the formation -hows that the
b.d..c lias been forced nil from a gre.il
oeplli. The assays of the conicii
trates is taken from eight tons of ore.
