The High Grade
District
Is Producing Good
Paying Ore
Charles Laughlin. a mining man of
New fine Creek. Monday passed
through town on hia way to Klamath
county to inspect some of the newlv
reported gold discoveries in that coun
try. Mr. Laugblii. ia associated with
Wm. Schauera and thev control the
Sunshine claim in the High Grade.
I more commonly known aa tbe Hoag
, mining district. He reports that they
are developing their property quite ex
tensively and have taken out some val
uable ore.
Tbev now have it New Pine Creek
12 or 13 tons of $500 ore waiting for
"Moment which will be shipped to
I bv. Calif, as eoon as thev have a
Sel-car-
j 'oad
shipment. Thev have sufficient
ore on tne auras at tbe mine to com
plete the car load and it will be con
signed immediately after it is trans
ported from the mine to New Pine
Creek. A car will handle 15 tons of
ore which will bring the owners about
17,500. Thia means a new producing
enterprise to Goose Lake Valley and
its importance will be no small item aa
an addition to her raoidlv increasing
asset. ,4. '
Mr. Laughlin stated that thev had
two shafts sunk on the Sunshine prop
erty, one to a depth of 40 feet and the
other 22 feet, and were taking good
oav ore out of each. A tunnel has been
driven 200 feet in length, and from a
atope 30 feet in length thev have taken
out $250 ore. He alao savs other prop
erties are producing in proportion with
this property and tbe future of the en-
tire district looks exceedingly bright. )
The Gutlerr Modoc mine, which is
backed bv Eastern capital and located
one-half mile from the Oregon-Califor
ma line ia undergoing strenuous devel
opment and Mr. Laughlin savs

sunk and a hoist will fce installed aa

Mr. Laughlin was on the ground
shortly after this district opened and
has been a very persistent and diligent
worker ever sinoe the life of the camo.
and says he feels more confident of its
future every dav. Since coming to
New Pine Creek he made a tour of the
entire atate of Colorado and said he
found nothing that looked so good as
High Grade district This is a good
word for our mining properties aa Mr.
Laghlin bas soent practically all bis life
in tois pursuit and thoroughly under
stands the business. He savs several
outside mining men are beginning to
come in to Inspect the possibilities of
tbe eamo and they all seem very enthu
siastic over tbe conditiona of tha dis
trict. In conclusion he emphatically
stated that "we have the goods, and it
will onlv be a course of time until this
district will be opened up and it will
prove tbe center of attraction of tbe
entire west as a cold producer." When
asked what he thought of the Windy
Hollow prospect. Mr. Laoghlin stated
that be had considerable faith in that
property, and.be believed that,' when
prospected, and worked, the territory
from tbe High Grade district north as
far as Windy Hollow would reveal rich
ore deposits.
With tbe N.-C.-0. Rv. in tbe valley,
access to tbe High Grade district ia
very easy aa It is only nine miles from
tbe mines to the railroad. Thia condi
tion will do doubt be taken advantage
of thia aeason and numerous outside
mining people will visit the camp.
