soRIBNER. HENDERSON MINE.


Wolf creek, Of northern Josephine
county, has one Of the richest and one
Of the most unique quartz mines in
America, beyond doubt. Scribner and
Henderson, two wood-cutters, of that
section discovered it about one year
ago, and with assistants have been
busy since that time washing out the
gold from the rich, soft rock, with
shovel and pan. A mine that can Jay
big wages to its operators and be
worked in this way must indeed be
rich. The rock is soft, decomposed
porphyry, crumbles and washes easily
and il rich in fine and coarse gold.
Tho matter containing the gold
follows a narrow quartz seam close to
the surface Of the ground and up the
mountain side from Wolf creek. In
order TO work IL TO better advantage
the operators erected wooden conduits
bringing the water around the hillside
and to the diggings where it was run
into a large tank or panning place.
It is in these tanks that the dirt is
washed out and the gold removed
The wages Of the men engaged at this
unique and rich mine have run from
~ to $40 per day and some days have
run as high asr $50 and more. Serb
ner and Henderson are preparing to
put in a more modern rock crusher to
begin the development of the property
on more extensive scale.
