Sucker Creek Gold Find

The story of marvelously rich gold
strike in Southern Oregon is interest
ing not only TO the persons WHO thus
stumbled upon it, but to all people of
OREGON. 1t is a piece of great good
luck to the finders, but it is also a
lucky and valuable incident for Ore.
gon. 1t will attract wide attention to
this state and to Southern Oregon in
particular. Since one such ledge has
been found, may there not be othersg
True, such discovery always starts
out large number of prospeotors.
most of whom are doomed to disRp-
pointnent, but the general result will
be good; it will mean more work,
more effort, more consumption of pro
duets, more faith in Oregon's mineral
wealth, and, doubtless, more Oregon
gold.
Some people insist dogmatically
that there is no such thing in the
world as luck or chance; that every
person gets ultimately just what he
plans and works rightly for aud de-
sere es. But the truth of this fine
theory is net discernible in such an
occurrence as this. For many years
placer gold was extracted in large
quantities from the beds of streams in
this vicinity, on beth sides of this
ridge, and it was known that there
must be a rich ledge in that ridge,
from which the placer gold came.
Doubtless the region has been pros
pected by ma y more or less hopeful
miner doubtless weeks in the aggre.
gate of tramping th ough those hills
has gone unrewarded; and yet at last
a boy, ont hunting, and with no
ought of finding gold, discovers it
in quantities cropping out of the sur
face, so abundant and easy to obtain
that it is said one family of seven
persons mortaTed out $25, 600 in a
week, One need not call this luck or
chance, if he is determined that there
is no such thing; but certainly the
chief beneticieriel did not plan and
work for this result.
This incident shows that Oregon
has not as yet been diligently and
thoroughly prospected. II the stories
told concerning this ledge are true, it
may produce millions, and there may
be, and no doubt are, other lodges as
rich yet to be discovered. Oregon's
mineral wealth is as yet mostly I'M
discovered 1t may be reasonably
expected that its gold production.
already much larger than it is given
credit for, will steadily inrcease for
many years. Portland Journal.

OF Action.

A. 9, Hofer, of Portland, manager
OF the Mount Pitt Hydraulic & Quartz
Mining company, came to Grants Pass
Friday from his company's properties
on Jump. p.off-Joe, bringing with him
samples of ore and news Of rich
strike in this new Jospehine county
mino Mr., Hofer said the crosscut
tunnel has encountered ten.foot ledge
at depth of 10 feet. The ledge car
ries high values from wall to wall.
A single shoyelful Of the ore, NOR
tared out by hand, yielded so cents. 1t
Is Mr.. Hofer's belief that the big vein
will give average returns Of from s25
to $40 a ton throughout.
Associated with Mr.. Hofer in the
development Of the Mount Pitt Hy-
draulic Quartz Mining Company's
properties are several Portland men,
among them being II. House. presi.
dent Of the company, and d. L. Nc
Cloud. Mr. Hofer is on his way TO
Portland TO confer with his associates
regarding future work. He is highly
elated with the results, and has good
reasons for believing the Mount Pitt
Company stands in line for the de-
yelopment Of ono of Southern Ore
gon's best mines,
Several hundred acres are embraced
by the Mount Pitt Company's hold
ings Aside from the quartz claims
being developed there is vast area

We would invite the attention OF our
readers to a communication 10 this Is
sue signed occasional" because it
touches matter of vital importance to
every farmer in the county white and
colored, and it is what ought to be done
everywhere. The TINES for q number
of wears has endeavored to get the
farmers organized. they make start,
and it peters out, Why? Because some
fellow who runs farm pushes himself
into its membership for the purpose OF
working himself into an office, and
when he gets the office nothing more IS
done. Farmers organize clubs, ana
make it clear and positive that candl-
dacy for public Office will debar a man
from membership and if he is already
s. member, his name is stricken from
the roll and published as being no long
er member. There is no reason IN
the world why farmers cannot organize
for their own protection. 1t IS almost
criminal for them rot to. We believe
if the farmers were thoroughly organ
lied thousands of dollars would be saw
ed to them every year, all matters per,
tanning to their honorable calling would
be enhanced, and every other interest
will be benefited.
Oxganize to sell your cotton, organize
to buy YOUR fertilizers, and organize to
devise means to see after labor, it can
not hurt anybody, but it can help
everybody. But by all means make
the politicians stay out, because just as
soon as they are admitted confidence IS
