Fortune in Gold
With $4,000 taken out in the first two
das after the strike in the Opp mine,
inJackson county, Ore, and the rich
OF promising to continue, the find in
TIT once-rejected mine looks like a
bnanza equal to the famous Gold Hill
oe of early days. Should the rich
Eeak continue twenty feet. which will
sparently be the case, it will yield at
last $150,000. The ledge is seemingly
ontinuous one Of wire-gold bearing
uartz.
The rich specimens of ore shown by
he Beekman bank in Jacksonville and
at the permanent exhibit building at
have attracted great crowds
during the past few days. and some of
the ore will be leading feature in
Jackson county's exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark fair. One 3-ounce chunk
shows about $4oO in wire gold, and is d
very snowy specimen. An old-time
specimen from the same ledge, weigh
ing fourteen ounces, shows six ounces
In gold and trif1e of silver.
Juarez Mines Sold
The Juarez, Lower California, gold
mines, few miles south Of Campo. are
to- be reopened under new management
and it is announced that hauling of
will commence. M. D. Good
body has been awarded the contract,
to $4,000, to haul the ma
chinery. The mines, it is said are to
be operated by the Juarez Mining COM
pany, to which Thomas Doak, the for
mer owner, sold them. Mr.. Doak spent
much money on the property, but gave
up working largely on account of i'll
health. 1t is understood that the new
has large financial backing.
c. Robbins, the San Diego assayer,
says that some of the finest gold he
ever saw came out of the Juarez mines,
running from $40 to $21 to the ounce.
Rich Gold Strike
According to the Lincoln (Ca1) Mes
senger, a rich strike of free gold has
been made on a piece of land adjoin-
ing the Dairy Farm mine property.
The land on which the strike was made
belongs to James Harris, formerly al
merchant but now a resi-
dent of Oakland. 1t seems that pros
pector was working in that vicinity
and found what was apparently a
quantity of surface or decomposed
quartz, and upon investigation to his
surprise he gathered a shovelful of
rock and dirt that was literally full of
coarse gold. His first impulse was to
keep the matter quiet and endeavor to
locate a claim. His discovery leaked
out, and unexpectedly Mr.. Harris, the
owner of the forty-acre tract. appeared
and 1t is needless to say that the price
Of land in that particular region has
fabulously.
Activity at Dale
The stamps and rolls at Dale. in San
county. says the Sun, are
crushing 100 tons of ore each twenty
four hours. according to the report
brought in from the desert camp by
Joseph Wagner, who has been In
town the past week. and there is more
genuine activity that is resulting in
than ever in the history of
Dale.
About 1926 miners are at work, the
the o. X, the Ivanhoe and
+he Supply mines all being operated by
such a force as can work to advantage. |
md others with smaller forces.
