More Railrodd Talk.
A railroad to the Blue Ledge Coppier
property in the Upper Applegate Dis
trict is again living talked of, anil the
property is being investigated and ex
amined with a view to a purchase, by
Spokane parties. The railroad would |
have an easy grade up the Applegate
a distance of about 35 miles from
Jacksonville to the property and its
construction will be begun at an early
dav if the sale is consummated.
The property is at present owned
largely by Spxjkane parties with Dr. J.
F. Reddy of Medford as manager. Dr.
Reddy has be< n engaged in the work
of development very steadily ever since 1
the bond, taken on it by l’airick Clark
and others some two years ago, was
surrendered. The parties who are ex
amining the mine with a view to buying
it, are old and experienced miners who
have been engaged in the development I
of some of the oldest coppier projx-rties
in the west. The Blue Ledge Group is
composed of some 350 locations or
claims.—Oregon Mining Journal.
