SOUTHWEST OREGON MINES:
A Few Facts Culled From orvilIe Dodge's
History.

History.
About twenty miles east of the
coast along Coos bay, Port Oxford
and the mouth of Rogue river
there is a mineral belt that has
given evidence of great wealth
for a period of thirty-five years,
and if it were possible to estimate
the value of tho gold that has
been taken from that region, il
would reach up to millions of dol
lars, and yet the section has failed
to attract the attention scientific
mining men to the extent it de-
serves. The first discovery of the
precious metal along the coast
took place in 1852, when it was
found that the sands of the
beach were permeated with fine
gold, especially near the mouths
of the streams that came dashing
down the mountain sides to ioin
the mighty Pacific. Great excite
ment prevailed for a few years,
fortunes were extracted from the
black sands, even with the crude
manner of operating with a
atom" i'll those days, and at one
place near the mouth of the Co
guile river, mule load ($S0,000)
was taken out Of a place not over
twenty feet square. The tides
changed the beach sands accord
ing to their size, sometimes cover
ing up rich paystreaks, and again
stripping off the white sands, leav-
ing particles of gold glistening
among the coarse pebbles and
black sands; sometimes claims
would be open and paying well,
when old ocean would slash its
waves along the beach and either
cover the rich bonanza or
sweep the bedrock as smooth
as glass.
There have been many expert
ments made in the black sand on
the beach of Coos and Curry coun-
ties with inventions that have
been made to extract the fine gold !
from the sands, that reach back
inland in some places a mile or
more, where it appears that old
beaches have existed in former
years, and the sand found in these
inland places was rich in flour
