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.
