DEVELOPMENT OF OREGON
Commercial Club Issues Call
for League Convention.

The Portland Commercial Club
has issued a call for a convention OF
the Oregon Development League, to
be held at the MIrquam Grand
Theater in Portland, August I'd and
Sd. All commercial, agricultural,
mining, stock raising and irrigation
interests will be represented; every
editor in the state will be invited to
attend as a delegate; County Com
missioners and Mayors of all towns
and cities will also be called upon to
name delegates. The Portland
Woman's Club will look after the
comfort Of ladies accompanying dele
gates, and, among other entertain
ments, have arranged for trollery
ride on August Cd, taking in the most
interesting and beautiful environs OF
Portland, and on August Sd ten street
cars will be provided for trip over
the entire city.
The Southern Pacific Co. will sell
tickets at the very low rate of one
fare for the round trip from al
points on Oregon Lines to PortlaDC
and return, for this occasion, and 4
is hoped that every section of thu
state will be we'll represented at Tia,

Mr.. Dyson is n pioneer Oregon
miner. He staked the Lucky Boy at
Blue River and was the man who
wrote the original notice setting up
a title to three of the great mines Of
the country. 1t was in Junc. 1887,
that with two partners, the prospect
ing expedition went into the mount
aims along the tributaries of the Nc
Kenzie river, little more than II
years ago. Owing to the dense forest,
there were comparatively few places
where outcroppings gave hint of the
character of formation and veins,
ledges or deposits.
Few locations had been made an d
the district was unsurveyed. After
finding mineral in place, the side
lines were run by blazing trees, and
referring to natural monuments of
rocks and rugged cliffs that character
ize the locality. There was no regu-
larly organized mining district, and
when the govern nent surveyors came
later, they found by reference to the
records that the early surveyors in the
camp had tied corners to everything
imaginable, some like the tale told of
an early Arizona prospector, not al
ways having exercised prudence in
using an immovable object for the
purpose. But the locators of the
Lucky Boy, believed they had a mine
under their feet and blazed their lines
distinctly and in a way to warn Others
not to trespass. Twelve years later
the claims were sold to the present
owner, the Lucky Boy Mining Com

COON OPINION OF NEW FIND
Sucker Creex District of More
Than Ordinary Importance.

G. H. Kelm, who resides at 267
Columbia street, has returned from
the new gold field at Sucker Greek,
and states that the new mining dis
trict is one OF more than ordinary
promise.
II went to Sucker Greek for the
purpose of doing some prospecting,
hut, not being provided with horse,
| returned, and will go again at a
later date" he said. ~ feel satisfied
that some very good properties will
sometime be opened up there, and |
believe the find of Dave Briggs,
which has been causing so much ex-
citement, will prove lasting
People in that locality, however,
are not inclined to be excited over the
find. There have been several very
rich pockets of free gold discovered in
that locality in the past, and it is a
common opinion there that the new
find is but another Of these pockets.
but do not think the people in
that vicinity generally know much
about quartz mining. They are
placer miners, as a rule, and have had
little experience with quartz. While
they may be right in their estimates
of the new find, it cannot be deuiod
that there is much gold in that
country, and prospects for the dis
covery and development of good mines
are promising.
"There are great many prospect
ors on the ground, and more are con-
tinually coming, but they do not re-
main in the vicinity of the new find,
and are soon lost in the wild country
that borders it. The statement that
all of the land is staked off is not
rrue, for as far as the eve can see,
there is good prosf Getting country.
"Some difficulty is beirg found in
making locations, for the land has
never been surveyed and it is not
known definitely whether it belongs
to Oregon or California.
lit is a rugged, mountainous
country, and man on foot cannot
do much travelling while carrying his
supplies with him. A man going into
the Sucker creek country to prospect
should provide himself with horses,
as he will find that he can do bat lit
tie without them.
"The new find is a we'll defined
ledge of white quartz, and from all
-surface evidence to be obtained, il
seems that it is permanent. Directly
above the spot where the gold wat
discovered, the ledge is crossed by a
larger ledge, also of promising
looking nature.

YIELDING BIG CLEAN-UPS
Southern Oregon Placers Look
Good TO a Portla nd Man

George A. Dyson, of Eugene, is
spending few days in Portland, hsv-
ing come direct from jackson county,
where he has been for several months
enaged in active mining work in
the vicinity of cksonville.
The property, which he has been
working under bond, is situated
seven miles from Jacksonville, and,
bieng familiar with what is trans
piring in that vicinity, Mr.. Dyson
talked very entertainingly of the dis
trict.
PLACER miners have done extremely
we'll in Southern Oregon this year,
due to greater flow of water than
for many years, said he, land l
think, when the final cleanups of the
year are reported, it will be found
that more placer gold has been wash
ed, than during any single season for
ten years. People do not realize the
amount of wealth produced there
every year. The placer regions are of
such wide scope that those operating
are not aware of what is being done
ON the other side of a mountain or
even along the same stream.
what strikes quartz miner with
the greatest force is the comparative
insigniticance of quartz mine develop
ment in Sc. e.tion that bears such
strong evidence of strong ledges ex-
listing in the region. There is very
little quartz mining done, but it is
rapidly increasing.
Recently the cleanup was made
on the Sturgis property, and was
very good. understand. This old
property of A. L. Sturgis was bought
last year by H. W. Vance, Califor-
mia miner, and has been equipped
with plant of modern machinery,
including electric lighting plant,
steam power, and equipment for
working the dirt to bedrock.
1.-THE Spaulding mine, owned by
Tacoma people, has also made a spleu-
did cleanup for the season. An
abundance of water for the entire
period of operations. favorable condi-
tions otherwise, and good conduct
of affairs, combined to mako it most
successful year.

proposition in Southern Oregon. He
