NEW ROAD FOR GALICE
Proposed Change OF Route to
Avoid Taylor Creek

The Galice creek road was very
badly damaged during the late food.
At several points where it ran around
and below rocky points next the river
it was entirely swept away and con-
siderable work will be required to
make it passable for vehicles. The
miners Of the district have ,ignihed
their willingness to bear the greater
portion Of the expense incident to re-
construction and with the aid of the
county, it is expected that the road
will be rebuilt in far better shape
than before. There is movement TO
change the road from its 1ormerroute,
to run on this side Of the river to q
point below the mouth Of Taylor
creek and several advantages are
claimed for this route Taylor creek
is a large stream and unfordable in
high water The new way would
eliminate this obstruction and also
the steep and difficult Taylor creek
hill. There quite a large hill also
in the projected route but it is much
more feasible for road construction.
There are also % number Of miner,
and settlers on this side Of the river
to benefit by such n change, while on
the other side there is nothing be-
tween the old crossing and the mouth
Of Taylor creek This was the route
originally intended for the road aud a
part Of the grading was done year.

MORE GOLD ON COYOTE
New Strike at Property OF Ne"
York & Western

4 rich strike has recently been
made at the Thompson group Of mines
on Coyote creek, one Of the proper
ties Of the New York York q Western
Mines Co. which are being developed
under the management of Foster *
Gunnel. A large body Of very rich
ore was uncovered in the north drift
of the tunnel, at a depth Of about 50
feet from the surface. The ore shows
free gold in amazing abundance and
with the large ore body in sight, the
mine presents a very gratifying ap-
pearance to the owners. This mine
is one Of the biggest and most yalua-
BILE propositions in Southern Oregon.
The vein is 40 feet wide between
walls, though it is not all quartz for
the whole width, but there is 10 to 10
feet in width of solid ore. The mine

pruspected before being equipped.

RICH ORE ON JOSEPHINE
Gold King Mine Is Ma king a
Wonderful Showing

VI. Marks Of Seattle, who recently
bonded the Gold King mine on Jose
phine creek has returned with the
report that he has discovered and
opened up a wonderful ledge traceable
for 1900 feet ON the surface, the rock
from which while not showing free
gold, assays from 800 to $1,000 per
ton This is the ledge discovered
more than a year ago by Ed Daily and
Tom johnson and which made quite a
sensation at the time.
BY some it is supposed that this late
strike on Josephine creek is but the
rodiscovery Of a rich ledge that was
found and lost nearly 80 years ago.

claimed to be remarkable find on

ago, made a discovery on Josephine
creek, while coming over the mount
aims by pack pony from Crescent City
in April 1852. He stopped to take a
drink of water from the creek and
while so doing was attracted by the
glitter Of gold from the bed of the
stream. He gathered up quantity
of fragments Of float quartz that were
rich in gold, but was driven from the
spot by "A band of hostile Indians be-
fore he could make Il thorough in
spcction Of his find In his haste he
neglected to take mental inventory
of the ground and was never able to
locate the spot again. In after years,
and in fact up to short time before
his death, Lewis Belfls searched from
end to end Of Josephine creek and
completely over the hills of the Waldo
county but never again could he
find even trace Of the treasure that
he was given glimpse of in the early
DAYS.

THE SCRIBNER-H HENDERSON,
Mine Sold to San francisco Cap
italists for S45.00O.

The famous Scribner. Henderson
mines Of the Wolf Creek district
were sold last week to +. d. Olm.
stead, representing San Francisco
parties, for $l5, 600, of which a cash
payment Of 5000 has already been
made The property embraces 100
acres Of ground, including a porphyry
dixie which has been traced and pros
pected for lengl of about half a
mile. This dixie is 30 to 100 feet in
width and the greatest depth reached
is 80 feet, at which depth the gold
values still continue A tunnel has
been run a distance Of 200 feet. The
dixie is estimated to carry average
values of $40 per ton.
This mine is wonder and
curiosity among mining men and
battles the knowledge Of all the ex.
perts who have ever examined it,
The porphyry itself carries very little
gold. but it is interviewer and inter
laced with network of seams and
stringers Of oxydized ore and it is in
these that the gold occurs. The
mine has been perfect marvel Of
richness since its first discovery. It
was first worked by panning and as
high MS 500 to the pan has been Sc
cured. Afterwards it was worked by
sluicing and lately by means of an ar
rastre, as large percentage Of the
gold was lost by the sluicing process.
All the work heretofore done has
been on the surface. The rock is
soft and easily worked at the sur
face, though increasing in hardness
with depth. 1t is claimed positively
that there is enough ore in sight az
the present time to pay for the mino
many times over.

the removal should be witnessed by
any number of people. Executions
should be as private as is consistent
