PRESTON PEAK
COPPER DISTRICT
A Mountain of Copper-Access-
able. but Undeveloped-Good
Opening for Capital.

j. +. Sanger. who was in Grants
Pass last week, returned last Friday
to his copper claims in the Preston
Peak district Mr.. Sanger has FIVE
claims located ON the north west
slope Of Preston peak ON the
divide between Illinois river. that
flows northwest into Rogue river,
Smith river that flows west into the
Pacific ocean. and Elk creek that
flows southeast into Klamath river.
He goes in by way of Waldo, aud
from that place goes 20 miles south.
10 OF which is by trail. NJ. Sanger's
cabin is up some in the world for it is
at au elevation of 400 feet and,
though 90 miles from the sea, with
a glass on clear days ships can be seen
ON the ocean. The SHOWS are very
heavy in the winter ON Preston peak
and Mr.. Sanger has seen it 20 feet
deep some winters and he is com.
PEELED to use skees to get TO, or from
his mine.
Mr.. Sanger has held his claims for
nine years and has considerable de.
velopment work done. The outcrop-
ping shows width of 8, 600 feet and
across the mountain, In fact the
mouatain appears to be one great
deposit of copper. There are several
other claims held in this district,
one group of which is owned by O. l..
Mangum, of Grants Pass, and John r.
Reeves. Of Waldo. Development
work on these claims il now being car
ried on by Mr.. Reeves with two men
to assist him and an immense vein
is being opened up. The Preston
Peak Mining Company, also hold a
group Of claims, but no work appears
to have been done upon them for the
past five years. This company was made
up of New York parties and had
plans. that if carried out, would have
been the means of that district having
a big smelter. but litigation brought
an end to their efforts.
This district is credited by exper-
fenced mining men with being one of
the largest and richest copper dis
tricts on the Pacific Coast. 1t is
practically a continuation OF the big
copper district about Takilma and of
the Blue Ledge on the head of APP
plegate. and its development will
come along with those districts, for
when the electric railroad is put In
from Grants Pass to Takilma, which
is quite certain to be done within the
next year, the road will be extended
on up the Illinois river to Preston
Peak.

YELLOW JACKET
BEING DEVELOPED
Ore BEING Shipped From q
Promising Mine on Forest
Creek. jackson County.

The installation Of a l0-stamp mill
at the Oregon Belle mine on Forest
creek has stimulated the develop.
ment OF other properties in that dis.
trict and considerable work is being
done by claim holders this summer
One Of the most promising Of the
properties Is the Yellow Jacket, three
miles down the creek from tho Oregon
Belle, and six miles from Jackson
willie. A shaft was sunk two years
ago to the depth Of 20 feet, but owing
to the great quantity Of water that
came into it, work was discontinued
A crosscut was then begun down the
hill, but after IL had been driven some
distance the owners, who were then
Eugene parties Of whom Geo. A.
Dyson was one. and also the superin.
tendent, discontinued work.
Last fall the claim came into the
possession Of H. A. Mears aud W. T..
Shaffer These men took up the de-
yelopment work and after driving
the tunnel $50 feet tapped tile vein.
An uprsise Of 20 feet was then made
to make connection with the shaft.
The vein has width OF five feet and
carries good values. both in free mill.
Ing and base ores. Messrs. Mears &
Shafor are now getting out car
load Of ore which they will ship TO
the Tacoma smelter next week from
Jacksonville Development work
will be continued and II the showing
continues as uow made the owners
will either put in mill themselves
or sell the property to parties who
would pot up mill.

mine formerly owned by the Surran
Bros. who it will be remembered by
many took out several hundred dollars
at or near the surface but lost the pay
chute and then left it, Messrs Nc
Cleary Il Hat, thinking that by run
ming crosscut below and striking
the ledge at depth of about 100 feet
it would show up again and acting on
this idea they began lower down on
the mountain and ran in about 60
feet when they struck a fault in the
ledge following this up for dis
tance of 20 feet. They have now
at distance of 20 feet struck a fine
body of sulphide ore containing
galena and ohalaoite. The values are
highly satisfactory.

aud by beginning this early they hope
to so control the situation as to
effectually cripple the growers pool.
None Of the hop growers of this
county contracted their hops last
year and as they all realized more
than the contractors offered, they are
not likely to contract their crop for
this year Hop growers of experience
have learned that when the future Of
the hop market is uncertain and fall

dealers out seeking contracts, but let
the hop market look encouraging and
there be a certainty that prices will
raise them then the buyers are more

 The Jackie at Play.
 While the life of the sailor, from the captain down to apprentice, is an almost continual round of work, some time IS found for athletic sports, such as boat racing football and baseball. The oo- feet of this Is to give the men recreation and at the same time to foster the spirit of competition. Besides. 1t makes the men easier to manage. The ship with strong football or baseball team, or the fastest race boat. almost invariably mas a harpy and easily managed crew-a crew that will swear it's officers the finest men in the world and likewise the officers swear by such crew. SoIne ships have training tables for their atm letic teams, the expense usually being defrayed by the officers. The team or boat crew, as the case may be, Is petted by the officers and idolized by the crew, and for some time before hard contest the men are excused from various duties Tn order that they may have more time to training.
 Every battleship and cruiser has its race boat. purchased by contributions from officers and men. The price paid for these boats Is. as rule contingent upon their winning certain specifed races. The builders are willing to take a chance. knowing that the crew will do its best to win. For a winning boat the price Is often as much as $100O while TOT boat that proves less speedy the build CT will accept $500 or less. On the result of a fleet boat race as much as s3Oooo has been known to change hands, and large sums are also wagered on baseball and football games. This Is. of course contrary to the letter of the regulations but the sporting instinct is as strong in the navy as elsewhere-and it Is not all ways possible to hold down the lid
