many years worked It for It's free

.GAL|CE DISTRICT
COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF SOME
IMPORTANT MINES
FREE GOLD AT SUGAR PINE
Millions I'm Sight in the Many Proper
ties of This Noted Southern
Oregon Camp.

In its present and potential min
eral wealth the Galice district of
Josephine county rivals the best
camps in the western part OF Ameri-
ca. Its vast extent, the great size
and persistency of It's lodges and the
demonstrated value of it's ore bodies
all combine to make it notable and to
attract, as 1t Is now attracting, the
interest and attention of mining
operators and mining investors In all
parts of the country. The publicity
that II has gained has been fully
earned nor has the half vet been
told tr thoroughly understood, con-
certlrg its great possibilities and the
amount of Its production of gold.
Without having it's limits definite
~ fixed, the developed area OF the
Galice district comprises a belt from
two to three miles wide and eight
miles long. In this area are the
producing mines and the many de-
veloped properties that only require
the installation of machinery to be
added to the producing list. Three
hundred miners and prospeetors are
at work, their energies and interests
being distributed in such way that
all parts of the district are receiving
development, and new strikes OF rich
ore are being constantly made. The
present seasons work has confirmed
their faith, aroused general interest
in the future Of the camp and Is
spreading its fame far and wide.
The area comprising the present
Galice district has produced approx
imately S30,00O.000 in gold alone,
It's creeks and It's gulches from the
early days of mining in Southern
Oregon have yielded steady stream
of the precious metal and they are
yielding II today. But II Is In the
development Of quartz that the new
er and greater Gallce is now inter-
ested, FOR the quartz lodges were the
source Of the placer gold The values
wrested from them by the forces Of
erosion were insignificant In COM
parison TO the wealth they still re-
tain to indefinite depths. The placer
miner and the pocket hunter have
| given first place TO the quartz miner
and the deeper he goes the better
values he Is finding. The successive
stages OF evolution have been pass
ed and Gallce, known for many
years as Oregon's greatest placer
camp, Is now becoming universally
known, as It deserves to be, one OF
the richest producers Of milling and
smelling ores In the west.
All this was not accomplished In
day, though the present enviable
position of the district is largely the
result OF comparatively recent effort
II took time and grit and energy tc
overcome all the adverse conditions
and bring the camp to the front. That
II has been done is the best tribute
OF praise to the men who have &C
