HERZINGER, CURRIER AND
DAVIS LOCATE CLAIMS.
VERY RICH In FREE GOLD
Placer Claims Have Been Located
Below Ledge to Secure
Float.

For the third time in five weeks
q phenomenal discovery of gold has
teen made in Josephine county, this
time on the Applegate river south of
Grants Pass. The owners of the
latest find are City Councilman H
l.. Her2inger, Leroy Currier and A. H.
Davis, a Rocky mountain prospector
and mining man. Many persons to-
day flocked to Herzinger's office on
Front street to take look at rich ore
brought in from the claim. Mr., Her
Finger refused to give the exact loca-
tion of the find, stating that they
had not yet monumented the property
and that he did not want rush of
gold hunters to the ground.
The ore is pure white quartz, which
has the appearance of "bull" quartz,
and so near the variety that the av-
erage prospector, unless he happened
to notice free gold in it, would never
pick it up, as this variety Of rock
is not usually gold bearing. The ore
Mr.. Herzinger has in his office Is
rich in the yellow metal, some speci-
mems thoroughly permeated and
frosted with gold. There is some
trace of iron pyrites, or rather small
cavaties which once contained iron
pyrites, that metal having oxldized
and disappeared. The ore can be
classed as pure white quartz. No cop
per stains are visible.
Mr.. Herzinger related the story of
the find as follows:
THE property was located some
months ago, but its richness was not
realized at that time. Recently Mr..
Davis, one of the owners, has been
at work in the property. He found
loose gold at the foot of the hill, and
gathered quite an exhibit of this. He
traced the gold up the hill until he
found where he suspected the ledge
was valuable. He got busy on it,
and LAST Thursday made the rich find
in the quartz. He notified us, and
went to the scene Friday.
Il cannot give you the exact loca-
tion of the property on Applegate be-
cause we have located six claims and
60 acres of placer and monuments
have not yet been placed. A rush
there now would find men throwing
claims across our ground and compli-
cations would result, which would
cause us much annoyance, trouble and
expense.
Decomposition and weathering OF
the ledge has sent much broken
quartz carrying gold also placer gold
to the foot of the hill. We have 10.
Gated 60 acres of this as placer.
The ledge runs with the axis OF
the hill and a cross cut tunnel Of
not great length would open It a
a depth Of about 500 feet. We have
opened the ledge on this rich ore t
depth of about eight feet"
Mr., Currier stated that the ledge
so far as could be determined, woul,
show an average width of about fiv
feet.
The supposition is that the proper
ty is about l2 to IA miles south, pos
aibly east or west from a direct soutt
erly direction.
Mr.. Herzinger stated that a Butt
mining man was enroute here to SC
the property, that the Montana ma
was in search of free milling propt
sition, and that surely such ledr
as this one would satisfy him.

He was coming along at his usual

grade little to the east of Fred
Bateman's he lost control of his
Buick and off the pike it went,
breaking three wheels completely
off and headed the machine the op-
posite direction from the way he
was going. The doctor was not
hurt and walked to town and got
livery and went on his way to
Enables. Luck was against him
that day. for when driving back that
night the liveryman missed the
bridge crossing the prairie west of
Fred Bateman's and upset and had
some trouble before getting started.

convicted for some crime com mitted in Western Arkansas; this poor boy was an habitual user of morphine; when he was turned over to these internal contractors they deprived him of his accus- toned medicine and he became crazed.
 Tone day while he was labor ing under his crazed condition, brought about by the absence of this drug, he tried to pass the guard and was shot down by one of the guards, there for his blood to flow out upon the sand to be washed by the rain and dried by the sun; his life was sent into its eternity by a bullet fired into his body by one of these scoun- drels guarding him; he was ta- ken out, hole dug in the ground and he was buried, without even a slab to mark his resting place; the wardens, guards and contrac- tors did not even send for a cor oner as required by law. A Jus tice of the Peace found it out and went there acting as a coro- ner because the coroner was sick and could not go; he was in formed by that gang in charge of the construction crew that he had better let that body alone, or else he might have some trouble. He went and obtained officers and returned to perform his duty. By that time the man who fired the shot had been ushered away, and the eye witnesses had been removed. An inquest was held as best it could be. To this good day, from the conduct of those in charge, the will of the law has
