George P. Blunehln of Paris, France,
and owner of the famous Bill Nye
gold mine three miles out from tioiu
11111, was here in town the first of
the week giwtlng his old time
friends. He was accompanied by
Robert II. Moore, an old-time resi
dent of (lold lllll. now of Central
Point, and local representative or
the mine property. The two loft to
go out and make n general Inspec
tlve of the mine with a view of re
opening and re-equipping this old
time producer, which was announced
some time ago before the owner left
Paris.
It was during the early part of
1914 that Mr. Blanchin was here on
the ground superintending the com
nletion of a power line and modern
mill and mine equipment at . the
Bill Nye broke out. He being an
officer In the reserve force of the
French army, left on a day's notice
to join his command on the front
and was In active service all during
the war.
After a several year absence of
the owner of the Bill Nye the care
taker's Hens were foreclosed and the
new and modern equipment of the
property was stripped from the (nine
and sold to satisfy theso liens, ana
went on from time to time when all
was taken which would bring a price.
In the meantime and at the close of
the war, taxes were foreclosed on
the property, when the owner at
Paris got . in communication with
, Mr. Moore and forwarded funds to
redeem his properly, nnd since that
time he has been awuiting a chance
,to come to America to recover the
: Bill Nye and his string of other
inlnno In Cn 1 1 f r?-v in t.nrl Mpvlrn
which met a like fate of the local
mine auring nis a use nee.
Mr. Blanchin is delighted to get
back to southern Oregon and has
much confidence In his local prop
erty as a rum re producer, jn speak
Ing of gold mining and Its posslbill
ties, he said: "Mining will be the
foundation of southern Oregon's great
future wealth; that his people will
turn to mining in America as
source of recovering their lost wealth
as fast as they can extract their
money from tho European tangle and
divert it to this mining channel,
The Bill Nye was discovered about
1900 by B. H. Nye, an old-time resi
dent of Gold Hill, and now a resi
dent of Talent. He and his' father,
now several years deceased, recovered
many thousands of dollars In virgin
gold from high-grade free milling
ore near the surface of the ground
from the first strike on tho property,
and since that time It has produced
much gold at a greater depth by its
former owners. The foundation and
possibilities of the mine In the large
body of ore at a greater depth when
it will turn from free-milling to base
ore, which the present veins have
a tendency to show as depth is at
tained.
