A COMPLETE QUARTZ MILL

Operation.
Begins

W. G. Wright's new quartz mill
started on its initial run on Thurs
day. This mill, which has recently
been finished, is a very complete H.
stitution and one that .has for some
time been needed in ibis city. 4
will be used as a samphog mtl ana
will also handle ore in'.sgslt lots
from mines tributary to Crabs Pass
The crushing appliance consNts oi
one stamp The rntverizad ore klinsi
from the stamp over set of copper
plates and thence to concentrating
box bottomed with a heavy blanket
" which is taken out at intervals ana
washed in clear water. This blanket,
besides collecting the CONCENTRATES
also arrests whatever fine GOLD might
possibly have escaped the plates. J.,
There is also in connection with
the mill, a small cyanide plaut and
the concern as a whole is as COM
plete a gold extracting insutntlon as
any of the larger plants throughout
the country.
The mill is operated by electric
power and the stamp, concentrated
ore crusher and disk grinder are all
operated by one motor Of one-haH
horse power.
The ore ON which the mill is now
running is from the Horseshoe mine
of Jones creek, the property Of Meade
& Case, and comes from the rich ore
body recently uncovered at that mine.
This mill Is a very great CONVEX
fence to the miners and prospectors OF
this vicinity as it enables them to
test their ores economically and re-
liably and the development Of this
mineral district can not fail to be
stimulated by the new institution.

MILL FOR OREGON BELLE
Order for Machinery Has Been
Placed.

The Oregon Belle mine, located on
the left fork of Forest creek, six
miles west of Jacksonville, is to be
equipped with l0-stamp mill. The
order for the machinery has been
placed by Foster d Gunnell, Of this
city, who are the managers for the
Oregon Belle Mining Company and
stockholders IN the company, and 1t is
expected TO have the mill in opera
tion by the first Of June. The plans
and estimates for the mill were pre-
pared by +. f. Willetts, OF this city,
the well known millwright, and the
construction work will be under the
supervision Of A. j. Pike Of Grants
Pass.
a saw mill is now being erected at
the mine and contract for 100, 600
feet of logs has been let and the tim
Der is now being delivered at the
mill. The logs are cut from the com &.
pany's own timber, they owning over
200 acres of land adjoining their mine,
much Of which is heavily timbered,
thus giving them an ample fuel ana
lumber supply in carrying on their
mining operations A DO horse power
boiler, installed last fall, to operate
the compressor for the two drills that
are operated In the mine will supply
the power for the sawmill and also
later on Tor the lO-stamp mill that
will be put in. The order for the
mill has been placed and it is expect
ed that its installation will be begun
within a month or 80 soon as the build
ing is completed. A larger boarding
house will be erected and Office and
other buildings.
For the past five months Messrs
Foster Il Gunnell have had a force of
men at Oregon Belle. working in two
shifts day and night with power
drills, developing the mine. While
tins development work was being
carried on, large part of the ore
taken from the tunnels was milled on
"A Huntington mill and these mill
tests have demonstrated that the ore IL
Of high grade and as large body Of it
has been opened up, the company felt
fully justified in the erection of q
mill which is to be one of the best
equipped and up.to-date in Southern
Oregon. The Oregon Belle is in the
same ore belt and on the opposite side
OF the jackson creek divide from the
opp mine, there is every reason to ex-
pect that 1t may prove to be as great
gold producer as its famous neigh
Dor, which is now paying handsome
dividends each month.
