NEW QUARTZ MILL
SET UP AT
APPLEGATE MINE
Fifty Men to Be Employed
by Tree Mining Co., Near
Upper Appiegate Grange
Meteorological Report
Big Appiegate, June 27.
(Spl.) A buzzing little colony of
activity has sprung up on a deso
late hillside in the Upper Apple-
gate section, where approxv
mately SO men soon will be ex
tracting quartz rock from the
earth and crushing it for its gold
content, according to W. G.
Wright of Medford, assayer for
the Tree Mining company, new
ly formed concern with a cap!
talization of $20,000.
A 123-ton ball quartz mill is
being brought from Grants Pass
this week, which will be in
charge of Don Marvin of M.-d-ford,
and when other equipment
is assembled, some of which is
already on hand, it is expected
that operations will be in full
blast in two weeks.
Rich Ledge
A quartz ledge, assaying $14
per ton, is penetrated with a
60-foot tunnel into a mountain
side, and after extension of the
tunnel 100 feet further, it is ex
pected that the entire thousand
foot mountain will be blasted for
disintegration of its ore in the
mill.
The Tree company, of which
ft. E. Millard of Oregon City is
president, is a self-owned con
cern wherein all of its employes,
who come principally from Ore
gon City and Clackamas county,
own a unit in the mine, which
is comprised of individual claims
on location covering 200 acres.
The new enterprise is situated
about 4 miles up the river from
Upper Appiegate grange hall,
and about 300 yards from the
road. A typical mining camp
has come into being there, even
to log cabins, music, and danc
ing. Nine fir log cottages have
been built for the families in
volved, which include about SO
persons at the present time. All
of the men are skilled workmen,
many millwrights and carpen
ters.
400-Foot Tramway
A tramway 400 feet long has
been built from the tunnel
mouth to the framework where
the mill will be set up, and a
rock crusher already is on. the
site. A 100 horsepower semi
Diesel engine also will be in
use, and a small air compressor,
now in use for drilling in the
tunnel, will be replaced with a
8-drill compressor. The assayer's
office and mill will be elec
trically equipped from a plant
soon to be installed.
The name of the company in
itself is typical of the method of

discovery of the quartz veins
which cross and criss-cross the
tunnel walls in promising abund
ance. A fir tree, uprooted in the
years past, disclosed the ledge,
which was first discovered by
Mr. Millard last September.
Assay Proves High
"Discoveries like that often
come from a gopher or badger
hole where a little dirt is thrown
up that people don't have to dig
themselves," Mr. Wright philoso
phized. We have a spring here,
the richest in the country," he
continued. "It was a test hole.
and the ore assayed $105 a ton
by my calculations. The boys
thought I was spoofing, so we
sent it to Portland, and the
assay came considerably higher.
The spring, rising in volcanic
mud, furnishes a good water sup
ply for the camp.
Both Mr. Wright and Mr. Mil
lard, long experienced in the
mining field have studied thf
geological formations for miles
surrounding their claims, and be
lieve that their enterprise will
bring valuable returns. The fact
that Bald Mountain, lying east
of their location, is bare of vege
tation, shows that gas formations
exist in the mountain, which
usually signifies underground de
posits below, Mr. Wright explained.
Springfield, 111. (U.R) A one
mile section of a new type high
way pavement composition in
corporating the use of brick,
concrete and steel will be
tested here this summer with
engineers throughout the na
tion watching the experiment
for revolutionary possibilities.
For nine years the Poston
Brick Company, of Springfield
has been experimenting with
the new paving design on the
theory that present concrete
and brick roads are inadequate
to withstand the constant pound
ing they are subjected to night
and day.
Several years ago the com
pany built a test section in its
plant and state highways divis
ion engineers attempted to
break it down with test trucks
but were unsuccessful. And
now, nine years later, testing
equipment is still unable to
destroy it.
Recently the company was
awarded a contract by the Il
linois highways division to con
struct a one-mile stretch of the
pavement to test further the de
sign under heavy, fast moving
traffic. Work on it will start
early next month.
The new pavement is differ
ent from concrete or brick com
positions generally used
throughout the country. It is
a heavy-duty, smooth-riding,
non-skid pavement according
to its inventors with a brick
concrete surface and with
"checkerboard" steel reinforce
ment.
The company claims for the
new material a long life stability
and says its cost compares with
all-concrete construction, while
cost of old style brick roads is
avoided.
The new composition is made
up in bricks, square, not oblong
as the old-style ones. They are
laid on a cushion of sand with
steel reinforcement rods be
tween each row of bricks. The
space between the bricks is
filled with concrete.

One of the charges said a
citizen had been heard com

is not an unpatriotic remark,
and no sign of a "fifth column
