Machinery for Michigan Mining 8
Milling Co. Arrives.

The first carload Of machinery for
tho new qaurtz mill that IL being
erected by the Michigan Mining &
Milling Company at their mine on
Applegate near Murphy, arrived in
this city Tuesday and was hauled out
TO tho mine the same day by Capt
j. NJ. Mcintyre, the we'll known
freiRhter with six Of his six.mule
teams, this number OF teams being re-
quired by the bad condition Of the
roads In this shipment was an 81
horsepower boiler, 40 horsepower
engine and large hoisting engine
and drum. The machinery is all new
end Of the best make Two other car.
loads Of machinery are to be received
in a short time, one to be Of the
grinders for the mill and tho other OF
the pumping plant.
Tho grinders are to DO Of tho In,
ternational make and will have q
capacity Of 30 tons Of ore per day OF
"a hours. These grinders consist OF O
jacket and cone fitting tho ono arount
the other and each revolving but il
opposite directions The pump will
be operated by gasoline engin,
stationed on the bank Of the Apple
gate river, from which water will b.
taken, and which will be able to de
liver to the mill i7O gallons OF waite
per minute, through 4-inch pipe O
1000 feet in length. A large reseryoi
will be erected In ravine near th
mill TO hold reserve supply o
water. II will only be necessary /
operate the pump during the dr.
season for during the wet seaso
sufficient water can be had iror
the adjacent rayines TO supply tho re
quirements Of the mill.
The building and power plant
being put in to enable the capacity q
the mill TO be doubled by tho install
ing Of second set OF rollers thu
making It possible to handle 100 ton
Of -ore per day. Tho orc from thI
mine is easily milied and the develoy

Sterling Mine Having Good Run.

Hon. II. Il. Ankney arrived in
Grants Pass Sunday evening on his
return from Waldo where he had been
for a couple Of days on mining bust
ness, and left the same evening for
Jacksonville. Mr.. Ankney is the
manager and principal owner of the
Sterling mine, nine miles south Of
Jacksonville, one Of the largest placer
mines on the Pacific Coast and which
has been a big gold producer for the
81 years since its discovery in 1853.
This mine is supplied with water
from the head OF Little Applegato by
a large ditch q miles in length. The
waters supply is from the SiskiyOu
mountains, while most Of the placer
miner have been handicapped this
winter by shortage OF water, Mr..
Ankney stated that they had had am
pie water all winter with which to
operate their pipes and the melting OF
the SHOWS In the mountains would
keep up the supply we'll into the sum
mer, thus enabling his mine to make
the usual big annual cleanup.
Mr.. Ankeny is one Of the leading
good roads men Of Southern Oregon.
He considers the betterment Of the
roads Of Rogue River Valley as the
real foundation to the full develop
ment Of its vast mineral, timber,
fruit and other resources. Mr..
Ankeny is greatly interested in the
success OF the Southern Oregon dis
trict convention Of the Oregon Good
Roads Association, to be held IL
Grants Pass on March 20 and 2l, anC
he will attend II nothing prevents
He hoped that every person il
Southern Oregon interested in goot
roads would attend this convention
and thereby help in creating a stronI
public opinion that would back ul
the county courts Of the variou
counties in making road tax lev.
large enough to enable road worl
TO be done thoroughly and unde
modern methods Of construction.

Profitable Wolf Creek Mines.

NohA >iO0H
H. d. Sluter is steadily operating
his placer mine ON upper Wolf Greek,
his water right being of character
that enables him to work the mine de-
spite the extreme dryness of the win
ter. This mine is furnished with a
small hydraulic equipment including
No. giant. The ditch is of
sufficient height to furnish any
amount of pressure that can be used
The water is brought over divide
and then dropped down and as much
as 1000 feet of pressure could be had
if it we're required.
This placer yields richly in coarse
gold, which is of two distinct kinds
The bank is of moderate depth, ranging
from six or eight to IL or 10 feet and
next the bedrock there is three to
four feet of "channol wash" which
produces smooth, heavy gold. The
upper part of the bank is composed of
slide dirt and rock which is quite
rich in rough quartz gold.
In conjunction with this placer,
Mr.. Sluter has a quartz property on
which he is carrying on development
work and which besides carrying good
values in the general character of its
rock, has ohutes of astonishing
richness. When first discovered, a
chute at the surface yielded gold at
the rate of from $40 to $50 to the pan,
this being merely the gold that was
free from the rock, the particls OF
which yet carried extraordinary
values that could not be secured by

Galice Consolidated Puts In Bis
Flume.

A. B. Cousin, manager Of the Ga
lice Consolidated Mines Co., operat-
ing at Galice, was i'll town several
days this week and reports that good
progress is being made at the property
and that two giants are in steady op-
GRAFTON. The work of building the
big fiume at the mouth of the creek
Is being done with gratifying rapid
ity Already some 600 feet is COM
pleted and new fiume is being put
in at the rate Of so feet per day, ex-
tending it up the creek bed. A giant
works constantly at the head of the
fume. blowing out the gravel and
debris and clearing away cut for the
fiume while the builders keep their
work close up to that of the giant.
The aume is six feet wide and is
being constructed of two inch plank
ing in a very solid and substantial
manner.
The installation and completion
Of this fume is one of the principal
objects towards which the company
has been working since its formation.
The bed Of Galice paid richly in the
early mining days when 1t was worked
with crude appliances. Since that
time the channel Of the lower part of
the the creek was deeply Allied with
debris. mainly from the work done on
the giantic high channels. The old
"tailings" which we're dumped into
Galice creek were largely from a
cemented bank and carried a consider
able portion Of their gold through
the boxes and into the bank. These
tailings having now for years been ex'
posed to the elements have became
decomposed and will be readily dis
intergated by the action Of the giant.
Besides the tailings, the store Of gold
in the creek bed has been augmented
by the breaking down Of tho higher
channels and by slides. Then also. the
portion OF the original gold OF thC
channel which was overlooked ant
lost by the early miners must have
been very considerable and, all thing
taken into consideration, the projec
of working out the creek bed, in the
advantageous manner which the new
flume will provide, has a very profit
able appearance. Many low bars O
known richness which could not herr
tofore be bottomed, will also b.

Grants Pass Friday and brought in a

were of average quality. These he

SEA. 20 in gold and 81. 30 in copper per
