; The American Smelting &. Develop
ment company, own Ins hydro-elcctrlc
power on the Klnmoti river and altos
ut M .Trinidad, port oC - Humbdldt
county, California, for installation of
a gmeltlng plant, is reported ready to
build a railway connecting the port
with points on the ' Klamath as far
;us Happy Camp (Qray -Eagle mine) in
Siskiyou county, 10 .miles south of
the .Oregon line.
Development of -power at Ishl-plsh
boiian nbou tlO years ago under di
rection of Frank Lungford, who Just
prior to that handled installation of
equipment nt Braden mine in Chile,
South America, slnoo taken over by
the American Smelting & Keflnlng or
the Guggenheim Interests.
The last transfer of the proportles
at Trinidad indicates entrance of
Colonel JaokUntc into that phase of
the plans. It Is understood that dn-
clsion to build tho railway was taken
last month at tho time of the pur
chase by , Anaconda of Chile Copper,
& Ouggenhelm enterprise.
. fehlit last transaction is viewed with
some reservations by those who re
member the acquisition of the Oug
genhelm smelting interests in 1900 by
the "American Smelting & Refining
company. It developed immediately
after the sale that Guggen helms own
ed ft-.majority of smelter stock. Since
that time -water has been running
under the bridge, throe Important
' membeni of the Guggenheim family
'. have died and tho family holdings In
A. B. & II. stock have been largely
. liquidated.
.Anacona Is in ty stromc position,
nnd one which lost nothing by pur
r chose of American Brass early this
year,, so tho Anaconda could easily
swallow ' the largest ; copper mine
known In tho world, Chile.
,J, .For some years there have been ob
, seure Indications that Gray Eagle
copper while standing in the name-of
Thompson & Ounn, is really con
trolled by Anaconda, one "of - which
":was.a sum carried on tho balance
sheet for the construction of this rall
: road to Gray Eagle.
' The future of mining in the Med
5 ford district is largely dependent on
' the building of this railroad to Gray
Eagle, which will soon bo com.
i menced, according1 to this informs
! tlon.
Blue Ledge mine, another copper
I property, in the vicinity of Gray Eagle
ij Is 'handled from Medford. Blue Ledge
. , . , ,
is on the Boguo river drainage and
has shipped more than one hundred
cars of high grade ore through Jacksonville-
and Medford to Tacomn.
The Oregon highway commission
this month took . the steps necessary
to bring about connection by a high
way through the Siskiyou range be
tween uray jsagio and uiue Licage.
The Oregon end of this interstate
road is known as the Blue Ledre
highway, running from Medford
through Jacksonville to tho state line
at Seattle Bar. -
It is regarded as certain that this
railroad up the Klamath River -eventually
will bo extended to Klamath
Falls. Being on wafer grade through
out, it will bo tho natural outlet to
tidewater of suoh Southern Oregon
