school of mines. and for the past six
or eight years, we believe, with the
Guggenheim interests, i'm both the
United States and South Africa. He
has lately resigned the mine superin-
tendency Of the great Braden mine
IN Chile and, on a recent trip to
Portland, heard OF and became inter-

your committee that the ore OF the

All ore will be delivered by gravity

The Great Need of the District.
The one great fact that impressed
your committee (above everything
except the immense lodges, the large
bodies OF ore, the timber and the
water power) Is the lack OF money
apparent everywhere. We under
stand that $75 900 has been spent In
the district I'm past years. but II has
been spent chiefly land wisely, we

there IN the way OF mineral wealth
A vast proportion OF this amount has
gone I'm the exceedingly high trans

Gentelmen: We, your sub-com-
mittee, after a thorough examination
of this Santiam Gold creek district
and an exhaustive investigation OF all
business matters connected with the
proposed erection there OF 100-ton
custom smelter, respectfully submit
to you the following facts and con-
clusions arrived at by US:
The committee, conslstlng of the
three members whose names are
signed hereto, left Salem Wednesday
evening, September %, and arrived
at Gates (the railroad station near
est the mlnes) at 1880 THURSDAY
From Gates we drove. by means OF
Jim" Church and his mules, to the
pre-ent end OF the wagon road. some
II miles, arriving at that point about
$3.50 p. m.
Good Mountain Road.
This we consider an unusually
good mountain road. The district
has levied a 1O-mill special tax AMI
the road Is being grayeled and other
wise improved. Two Of the bridges
for which the county has approprl-
ated funds are already built and two
more are under way each being A.
foot span. A large force OF m6n Is
now engaged In finishing the road
toward the msl'cr site and an excel
lent dor key engine Is In use. We
found also that the ~oad crew has
very complete camning outfit and all
necessary tools. a remarkable piece
OF work has just been completed;
600 feet of dangerous rock work
around Powder Point extremely well
done, witch took seven men SO days
To complete.
This road IS being built by four OF
the chief mining companles OF the
district. The United States govern
ment has appropriated $3.50 for
powder. as the road leads into gov
ernment reserve. Marion county has
appropriated several thousand dol
lars In all for the bridge9; contracts
have been drawn up between the min
Ing companies which insure the com
pletion of this probably by December
10 as far as Horn creek, at which
point the pearelt OF these mines IL
located. From that point to the
smelter site (about one and n half
miles) expenses OF building will fall
upon the remaining three mines
alone. From the end of the present
wagon road TO the smelter site on mp

where your committee was enter
tanned, we "hit the trial" and ar.
rived for supper about o'clock.

cuts, water power, timber and all

which they are TO be found ascend

Power Plants.
Two dams for power plants are now
being built which will readily sup
ply all the power NEEDED at the three
mines and from which the smeltor
company will purchase its power for
electricity, hosting, etc.
The water power L. abundant.

can be utilized m very moderate eX-

Extent of Claims.
The three companies together hold
In all thlrty-two mining claims, 600
feet by 1900 feet each. total Of
Gao acres, all very heavily timbered
Cnrobably 50,00O.O00 feet of line
timber would be the crli3er's re-

Enormous Lcdges.
There are estimated 10 he some
Is or 90 great ledges carrying cop
per, gold and silver In this Santlam
district. The main ones of these
(perhaps 10 or 12) run through the
property OF one or more OF the three
companies. The lodges in some cases
are miles In extent and the outcrops
we examined show on the surface
from ten feet to as much as so feet
In width. We understand the geolo-
gists ana mining engineers who have
examined these properties for the
smelter company and for others re-
port that the formation here Is not
broken up, but allis "ln place" thus
insur'ng continuous supply OF ore
for generations TO come. so far as
the universal experience of the past
In copper mines can tell.
Tunnels.
Some $500 feet and more OF tun-
nels have been run at different levels,
chiefly for the purpose OF simply ex-
posing the rich deposit in these var
ious lodges In order that mining eX-
perts might be able TO see when they
finally came to the mines, Just the
character OF each ledge.

100000 Needed.
We believe that Il will take prob
ably 100000 to put the mines OF
the d'-tr'.' ~ frst class shape TO
produce and market the great values
there. Much more could be spent
very prohtably in building concen-
tratlng plants, etc.
Our Recommendations.
Your committee believes that.
whereas outside interests are rlslSing
q similar amount I'm building a smell
ter with their own money, IL certain
ly is sound bu7iuess for the Board OF
Trade to devise plans and take some
practical steps to raise at once the
funds necessary 10 insure the open
ing up OF this truly remarkable cop
per district for the benefit Of Salem
and the entire county OF Marion.
And we so recommend TO your COM
mittee.
County's Wealth Would Increase.
We calculate that with the Inn
provements that will come following
the building OF the smelter, the as
sessed valuation OF the district viii
be over million dollars, which OF
course means more revenue TO the
county.
Electric Railway.
We feel that the opening up, OF
the mines, the operation OF the smell
ter, backed by the great quantity of
fine ripe timber that Is up there In
tho government reserve, will insure
n daily tonnage OF freight so large
that at no distant day the Salem
Stayton-Mehama electric line will be
built and thus Salem will secure q
vast amount OF new business In al
lines.
Conclusions of Committee.
Finally, In closing this somewhat
extended report, prepared as II Is NJ

TO urge on every citizen of Salem tho
