LDPRODUCTION,
From a Marion County Mine
The Quality Of the Ore Increases As
the Work Progresses.

The mining claiu in the Quartz
vile mining region and in which
Messrs. w. ID. Mohney and John Say
age Jr. Of this city, haYe half inter
est, is destined to prove a valuable
piece of property, The output pro-
mises TO surpass the most sanguine
expectations.
The mining property referred to is
located about three miles south OF
Quartzville on the main south fork OF
the Santiam. 1t is within three
miles of the "Rhoda mine" recently
discovered by Senator A. Gesner and
surveying party.
1t was discovered about August J.,
by Messrs Ladue and Madille who
chanced to camp for the night in
that region. On the following morn
ing the attention OF the men was
called to the apparent richness OF the
surface rock and some prospecting
showed that the quality of the rock
was such as to warrant the develop
men of mine. Samples OF the ore
were secured and trip was made to
Salem.
Being without the necessary funds
to purchase mill and other machin-
cry necessary to successfully develop
the mine, the men made known a
desire to dispose of their property or
10 enter into partnership deal with
parties who would agree to place
ten-stamp mill on the claim and work
the mine.
While in the city the gentlemen
met Messrs. Mohney and Savage and
made such a proposition to them.
Having seen samples of the ore, the
gentleman agreed to place ten
stamp mill in operation as soon as
practicable, they TO haye In return
therefor half interest in the mine.
A shaft was then sunk and at
depth of Is feet rich vein of the yell
low metal was encountered. 1t as
sayed $780, At present a tunnel is be
Ing run into the mountain. Messrs,
Savage and Mohney on Monday re-
cieved some returns from samples of
the ore taken from the tunnel at a
depth of SO feet. 1t was taken out on
the 9Th inst, and assayed $79.76.
In the last 10 feet the tunnel has
been worked, the quality of the ore
has increased 40 per cent. The own
ers of the mine are mere than pleased
with the result of their property and
expect to place mill in operation as
soon as possible and push the work of
developing the mine.
The gold thus far taken out has
been comparatively free until the last
sample.
