I Grants Pass, July 15 Ore so rich you can literally shake the "native quick" out of it in pools was the lode which David L. Webb found by stick ing to the hard way learned in his 72 years instead of trying short cuts. That was the version today of fellow miners who marveled at cinnabar samples which showed rock along a 22-foot tunnel near Patrick s creek in nearby north ern California running as high as $150 of quicksilver a ton or more. The extent of the rich ore, which will be developed by H. C. Wilmot. owner of the Bonanza mine which made Ore gon the nation's largest pro ducer, is not yet proved. Long Hunt As Webb, patient Kerby pros pector, told it, he decided months ago to pan Patrick's creek for colors. He found cin nabar traces last August, and the hunt began to see if the faint colors would ever mate rialize in pay ground. He slowly worked his way upstream, in some of that primitive areas wildest country. When he reached a branch of the creek. panning showed the trace con tinued up the west fork. Slowly he worked his way, trying out each side creek and old draw until high on a side hill he found loose stuff that glim mered silvery in his pan. There he sank a discovery pit, and dug his tunnel. And there he drove a shaft into ore so chockful of quicksilver that little drops of it bead the walls like dew on grass. But his Job still wasn't over.

WORLDS C.RF.ATrvr TRAVEL SV?iVm tm""m I S tttna - a antra1 prospect" in the mountains and need only development to make a fortune, come a dozen for the price of coffee in these storied mountains. Obtains Backer But Webb picked out the biggest producer in the district. Wilmot, and camped on his trail day after day, week after week, as patiently as he followed that first lead up Patrick's creek. Wilmot, as much to get rid of the visitor as being convinced, sent a man toiling up the hot mountainside to arrive exhaust ed at the prospect. It isn't a mine yet, miners say, and there's no telling whether Webb struck just a rich pocket. But Wilmot apparently was con vinced enough to spend some money for a better look. He has applied for a permit to build a forest road, which he wants for more than the easier ride. It will be, from all indications, to take ore out of the moun tains, or machinery into them, or both.
