E. Hufstader and Ja*. <>. Fuller are home for the winter from the west fork of Cow creek where they h «ve Ix-en since last spring developing a mining proposi tion that they have located in that dis trict. The snow gets so deep in the mountains of that section that all min ing operations have to I m - suspended for the want« r and when they cam • out there was six inches of snow on Cow creek ami two iml a half fc«-t on th divide be tween that stream and Rogue river. Messrs. Hufstader and Fuller h «ve two claims, which they 1«> ated two tears ago. one is quartz and the oilier placer. On their qu irtz claim they hive a fi ie ledg«- <>f fre« milLng ore th it assavs troin $3 to #10 per ton. Thev h ivc a drift i i •13 feet ami have not yet reached the hanging will and they think tiieir ledg<- is fully 75 feet wide. They have good water power convenient and next spring they intend to put in an arrastre an«l work out som -of their ore. They will also work their placer mine next sum mer. This se ison they got considerable work done upon the ditch and they will complete it early next spring. They have plenty of water ami heavy pressure for the giant that they will put in and as the ground will lx.- eisily worked and has prospected rich in coarse gold th. y expect to have a profitable mine. They have also found considerable platinum, and as it is worth ¿22 an ounce it adds very much t-> the value of their placer. There are a n imlxrr of other finecla ms in the imm-deite vicinity of Messrs Huf stader ami Fuller's claims. The Eagle mine lately sold by Henry Martindale of Grants Pass has ore that has assayed as high as ¿2«»> jx:r ton. The Yaquina ledge owned by Win.

This mining district has every indication of becoming one of the rich est in Southern Oregon, but for the pres ent its developmet t is retarded by lack of transportation, it being 22 miles bv a rough trail from West Fork station on the Southern Pacific. It is the plan of the various claim holders in this district to put in a wagon road next spring so that machinery can l>e gotten in with which to operate the mines. Council Proceedings.

Caton was in Jacksonville with a small cleanup of gold which lie had made at his mine on the right fork of Forest Creek. Mr. Caton’s placer mine is well up on that stream and owing to the scarcity of water last summer he was unable to complete his cleanup at tin- close of last season. He is now gather ing the last of the gold from last year’s work and he expects to commence pip ing again in a few days. He Is using a No. 1 giant and has a very good outlook for a profitable season. His neighlior, James Davis, commenced piping last week, being able to use two heads of water a day. but since the ruins censed he has been able to get but one head a day.
