FACTS ABOUT OUTPUTS OF MINES
Mine Owners Should be Patriotic Enough to
Give Out Iniormation.

Concerning mine owners giving out
facts and figures as to their production I!
The Mining and Engineering Review
has among other things the following to
say on the subject;
"rhc Helena mine il located in
Central Oregon in the Bohemia district,
u comparatively new field. but IL has
been paving dividends for II long time,
paying 1900 in 1901, tl20,5OO in 1902
and $2tS, 900 since il was opened,
The owners have patriotism and sense

State oi Oregon by giving out their divi-
dcnds Tor publication. In eastern
Oregon not one oi the producing com
panics appear in the list of dividend
PAYERS although from statistics which
We have been gathering We are assured
that that section produced between
three and four million dollars the past
year. In California there are only lew

VALUABLE ACCIDENTAL FINDS.
Chance Led TO the Discovery Of Many
Rich Mines and Minerals.

Accident plays.,quite considerable
part in the discovery of mineral de.
posits. Many examples are on record.
The Freibury mines, in Saxony, were
discovered by soldier: whose horse
picked up stone in its shoe; this stone
was heavy lead ore.
Copper was found in South Australia
from examination Of green mineral in
borrowings Of the wOmbat.
Diamonds In South Africa, and gold
in California were found by chance.
A geologist discovered phosphate Of
lime in France by anslySiae, aAnd'that
WAS used to give = violet color TO brick.
Any mineral Of q peculiar appearance
in district should be carefully examin.
cd.
For years the great Comstock lode in
Nevada was worked for gold, and the
rich yellow sand, which eventually
turned out to be silver chloride, was be.
ing thrown away.
The Broken Hill silver mine, IL il
believed, was first pegged out for tin.
The porous pumice ore Of Mount Morgan
was sold for cleaning hearths before its
value become known.
