TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, JULY 14, 1904.
A RICH STRIKE.
Immense Quantity of Gold
Found in Josephine County.
(From the Rogue River Courier.)
The big gold find of Southern Jose­
phine county was visited this week by
two Courier men, A. E. Voorhies and F.
¡Mensch, for the purpose of seeing the
place which has put new life into the
mining industry of this section, and of
¡securing reliable and certain information
las to the value of the discovery. The re­
ports have been so varied and widely
different that it seemed there was little
¡dependence to be placed in them, so, for
the benefit of the readers of the Courier,
!the trip was made.
1 A journey by wheel to Holland and
and thence by trail on foot up Sucker
creek and over the mountain brought us
to the spot which is justly entitled to be
¡considered one of the wonders of the
world.
David Briggs and his family, son-in-law
and brother, in all five men and two
ladies, are in camp by their bananza,
carefully watching and guarding it and
taking out some gold from time to time.
They are making no effort to mine it
and are merely taking out a few slabs of
gold or handsome quartz specimens to
pass away the time until they can safely
deposit the treasure already secured.
They argue with reason that the gold is
safer in the ground than it is out of it.
It is one of the peculiar conditions oi this
mine that the gold can be taken out far
more rapidly than it can be taken care
of. The fact that they are not working
night and da}’ on the vein, has been mis­
interpreted by some, who do not under­
stand the conditions and the report has
thus got abroad that the place is work-
•ed out. Nothing could lie further from
the truth. From all appearances they
■have only just begun to take out the
jgold which is lying near the surface,
f The milk pan full of gold in slabs,
which was on exhibit at a Grants Pass
bank, is only a preparation for the
wonders that greet the eye when the
■mine is visited. Al the Briggs tent,
there is gold in sacks, in cans and in bot­
tles, in the mortar, in the gold pans, in
tin cups and cooking utensils, every where.
There seems to be enough of gold in sight
around their cainp to satisfy a family
ior a life time, yet the major part of
what they have taken out has been
•cached away.
The place where all this treasure has
been taken out, is an insignificant hole
some 12 feet in length, as wide as the
ledge, which seems to run from 12 to 14
inches, and from one to two feet deep.
All the excavation which has been done
could he done by one man in an hour,
though it would probably take him
longer than that to pick out the gold
Mr. Briggs estimates that all the work
which has been done is not more than
half a day's work for one man, and the
estimate seems a seasonable one.
The find is no ••pocket.” It is a true
fissure vein on a contact between granite
and porphyry and is traceable for a
long distance along the side of the moun­
tain. No tests have yet been made to
show the extent of the rich pay chute,
which still continues both longitudinal­
ly and vertically from the excavation.
The quartz, exclusive of the seams of
pure gold, carries milling values from $8
to $20 to the ton. Gold is diffused
through the rock itself and is not found
alone in the seams. This is presumed to
be a good indication of permanency.
The vein at the end of the excavation is
about 12 inches wide.
Along the hanging wall there is a seam
averaging about the thicknessof a man’s
finger, which is filled with pure gold.
The width of this seam is variable, but
the stringer of gold is continuous. If the
discoverers of the bonanza had carefully
excavated along the side of the seam and
removed the quartz without breaking
the gold, they could probably have se-
cured pieces of gold several feet in length.
It would have been in irregular slabs,
from half an inch to an inch in thickness
gnarled and twisted and crooked. Of
course, it would be a physical impossible
to handle a piece of porous gold of that
shape without breaking it.
This seam, where the discovery was
made, was running along the hanging
wall of the ledge. As the vein was fol­
lowed, it left the hanging wall, cut
through the ledge to the foot wall, fol­
lowed that for a short distance, then cut
through the ledge again, back to the
hanging wall. At the end of the cut, at
the same time this visit was made, the
seam had been “mined”out to a depth of1
pct haps 16 inches, the first foot of the
depth Ixring made large enough for the
operation of a shovel and the last few
inches being merely gouged out of the
seam. In the deep shadow, the gold,
much of it dull and rusty, could not he
seen, but*a pocket knife jabbed into the
seam struck with a dull, dead sound, ex­
actly as if dropped on a piece Of lead. A
few blow’s were sufficient to detach a
piece, weighing two or three dollars. It
seemed a new idea to mine with a pocket
knife and the visitors quickly grew in-
terested. After poking a nd jabbing with
the knife for 10 or 15 minutes, the re­
turns were weighed up and aggregted
some $50. One vigorous blow with a
pick would have dislodged three times
as much. Sometimes a piece of gold
two or more inches in length could be
pried and split off from the quartz to
which it was adhering. As the knife

The people that a stranger meets along
