MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOED. OREGON, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 11, 1931. PAGE NIXE 1 LOW ROGUE GIVES A CHANCE TO HARVEST GOLD Grants Pass Banks Report Heavy Purchases Yellow Metal During Summer Pocket Hunters Busy a RANTS PASS, Ore. (Special) As much gold has been mined in small workings In Josephine county during the eight months of 1931 as was mined and sold to Grants Pass banks during the whole ot 1930, It was revealed when an In vestigation of this sort of "unem ployment relief" was made by the Dally Courier. A total of $28,971.41 worth of the yellow metal has been bought by the First National and the Grants Pass and Josephine banks in the past eight months, against 929.542.35 for the 12 months of 1930. The gold ,was received In amounts from a few dfllars to one or more hun dred, and only small collections of this relative size are Included in the totals. Huge Output. Josephine county's total gold pro duction would be a figure many times $29,000, it was pointed out by bankers, as the output of all the large mines go either directly to the mint at San Francisco, or to Seattle or elsewhere for refining, According to A. K. Cass, assistant cashier of the Grants Pass and Jose. phlne bank, whose figures show an increase in gold purchases of 157 per cent for the eight months against eight months of a year ago, the gold was the output of indi vidual prospectors and small miners. who in many coses turned to gold mining because of unemployment conditions. Low Water Uncovers Gold C. H. Demaray, a director of the First National bank, declared that while low water had hurt the output of many of the larger placer proper ties. It at the same time uncovered ledges and bars in the Rogue and other1' Josephine county rivers which have not been reached by prospectors for years, permitting them to clean out pockets where the yellow metal has been collecting for long periods, Wing damming has also enjoyed a great increase because of drouth conditions, and miners have reached places in the stream beds by this means which has helped to increase the class of small gold producers. Home-Mnde Equipment. In addition all kinds of home made pumping and mining plants are in operation all over the county, and assisting In taking out the stream gold which is finding Its way over the bank counters. The First National's gold pur chases from all small operations dur- lng the present eight months has been $16,896.55, according to a. d, Schumacher. If the gold continues to come In. at the present rate, or with some In crease due to bettered water condi tions when winter's rains come, the county's gold output in small claims and prospects alone may amount to around $40,000, It is indicated by the figures.
