Quartz mining in Josephine coun-
ty is becoming more extensive with
each passing month. The number OF
new men who have come into the
hills In this region during the past
three months has been large, ju,t
how many ii Is, Of course, impossi-
BILE to know; but that they are live
ones" and are going after the mineral
with determination II is known. The
pocket hunters" are being super
seded by real mining men from the
states of Nevada, Colorado, Montana,
Idaho and Utah. A number OF exper-
fenced men from California are also
here, and each week records the ar
rival of several.
The old cry that the ores do not
go down" is heard less and less as
mining men prove to the contrary. It
isn't the ores that do not go down, 1t
Is the shiftless claim owner that
doesn't go down-only under tree
to sleep. All mining claims do not
make mines, II Is true. II they did
the world would be swamped with
the yellow metal and other kinds.
But when energy and brains and ev-
en- some scant geological knowledge
are applied 1t means success, as men
who know will not waste time, and
money on worthless prospect. Too
many prospectors there are who get
married to hole In the ground If
they find stringer Of stuff that car
ries some trace Of gold. The man Of
experience will not waste his sub
stance on such, but seeks to develop
property that bears the earmarks of
a mine. He does not carry a piece OF
specimen rock In his pockets to ex-
biblt on street corners until II gets
slick. What he wants is tons, not
ounces.

There are hundreds Of free mill
ing ledges, and the word hundreds
IL used advisedly, In this county
which only need the application of
drill, dynamite and treatment plant
OF modest capacity to produce stead
lily for many months. After a time
the oxldized ores will be exhausted
and the original sulphides come In
These will be either concentrated or
shipped to smelters In the original
form, decision on this point depend
ing on the solidity Of the metal.
An example Of what can be done in
this county Is the work under way
by r. M. Wilson, OF Kerby. Mr..
Wilson went into the Kerby region
last fall looking for big low grade
ledge. II soon found what want
ed" said Mr.. Wilson, to The Courier,
"and this was group known as the
Alta group, located five miles west
OF the old town" This property Mr..
Wilson is mining by means of an
open cut, sending the ore down by
gravity to the new Acton Chilean
mill, located only 150 feet from the
excavation. The ore body is 25 to
80 feet In width.
Mr.. Wilson Thursday sent out to
the mine a steam plant which arriv-
ed In Grants Pass last week, coming
from Portland. In winter he will use
water power, In summer the steam
plant. Manager Wilson states that
IS ore satisfies him, and he is mining
and milling 1t at a cost OF only Tic
per ton. Much Of the ore runs bet
ter than s5, but more than the So
the owner is not counting on, beins
satisfied with putting through a
product which carries values of IS
or less.
This is an example OF successful
gold mining, and Il can be duplicat-

G. M. Bullard, of New York City, is
In Grants Pass, after three months
of prospecting in the Waldo coun-
try. To The Courier Mr.. Bullard
said:
THAT region is full of valuable
quartz ledges. On one hill, | count
ed seven. The country is not stalk
ed, and lies there for the man of
energy and knowledge. When q rail-
road cuts that region, a railroad
from Grants Pass to Crescent City,
| expect to see lively mining region.
Men who will go In there and stake
several Of these lodges and open
them to even modest extent, will be
able to make some profitable sales
year or two hence.

ravines and gulches, the ore, gold and
copper rock, being exposed In many

greatest revenue, to handle as a plat
mum ore or to ship as the gem stone.
This is a case where both cannot be
utilized. To recover the platinum

mental stone means that he cannot re-
cover the platinum. The rock also
assays $1.65 in gold and in portions
of the ledge are shoots of cinnabar
The ledge measures something like
so feet In width.
Located on the same ledge are
claims owned by Andrew Frakes and
r. H, Bailey.

That premier group of gold claims
In the Chetco district, owned by Dan
Hearn and Pat Casey and associates,
is showing up finer than ever. Dur
ing the past six weeks, considerable
prospecting work has been done on
the claims and open cuts made on
the ledge for distance of about one
half mile. Each of these cuts returns
splendid gold values and are remark
able for the uniformity of values.
There can be distinguished no differ
once in returns in the mortar from
any hole opened on the ledge for the
half mile. The owners have recent
ly refused an offer to purchase.
Other good looking properties in
that district are being opened in a
systematic way, and before another
summer 1t is expected that hale doz-
en- mines will result.

The Afterthought, the property
owned by ]. H. Bailey, OF Grants
Pass and located on Thompson creek,
Is one OF the richest quartz proper
ties on this coast. A box Of this
quartz attracted much attention at
the mining congress, as 1t was per-
meated with free gold. Mr.. Bailey
and W. R. Nipper are working Joint
ly another quartz property nearby
and will use a five stamp MILL To-
Gated short distance up the creek.
This property was opened many years
ago but abandoned, with rich rock
left on the dump.
In Placer Fields.
OF placer mines, no country on the
globe can boast of such extensive
areas of rich gravel, not even the far
heralded Alsakas or Altar fields Of
western Mexico. 1t has been esti-
mated by w. ]. Winner, himself a
placer operator In Josephine county
for 80 or 35 years, that gold to the
total value Of $1S5, 100000 has been
recovered from the big and little dig
gings in this county since 1852.
The Waldo Consolidated property
at Waldo, consists Of nearly 5000
acres and is considered the largest
in western America or the world.
This corporation has an abundant
water flow and continues operations
the year through.
Other placer operators are making
preparations to resume their winter
work as soon as rains begin; and
there will be more of this class of
mining In Josephine this winter than
for some years. The total output in
gold will be large.
One Of the properties which will
resume at an early day is one on
Briggs creek, owned by r. F. Miller.
Mr.. Miller was In Grants Pass Thurs
day Of last week and states that the
has been leased out for sew
eral seasons and that ne VIII do the
same this year. II lies IA miles from
the mouth Of Taylor creek at the H.
L, Lewis place. The holdings consist
Of 140 acres and Mr.. Miller has own
ed and operated the mine for 10
years. The property is equipped with
900 feet Of 11-inch pipe with ITS
foot pressure and two No. giants.
The giants will work this winter on
a bank 20 or 25 feet in thickness.
Much coarse gold Is washed from
this gravel and the property is one
that pays handsomely. On account OF
Ill health Mr.. Miller adopted the
leasing policy instead OF working the
mine himself.

A valuable property ON Slate creek,
owned by w. H. Ramsey, is liable to
change hands during the next go
days. A deal is pending and the fig
ure reads somewhat near $4,000.
This property has not been opened
extensively but where the ledge has
been exposed, 1t is all ore of a grade
running from $25 to SIS per ton.
Ramsey has been operating an aras-
ira on this ore for about Is months,
and with even this crude machine
has been recovering goodly run of
bullion. Adolph Maier is negotiat-
ing the sale for the Ramsey.
On the opposite hill from the Ram
sey mine, is a wide ledge which has
been located for distance of 900 feet
by Ramsey, Howard Andes and sew
eral Grants Pass men, and this ledge
can be opened by a tunnel on the
vein, which will give depth of L.
900 to 100 feet.

Another mine, idle for several
years, to resume September /. is the
Mountain Lion, located on the Apple
gate 16 miles south of Grants Pass.
The Courier, few days ago, gave
details Of this deal, which is lease
taken by Councilman c. G. Daniels
from l.. L. Jewell. The property
has been in litigation for several
years but the title now rest with Mr..
Jewell. Mr.. Daniels will overhaul a
five stamp mill on the property, also
two concentrating tables, put tunnels
In shape and will have the mill drop
ping on paying rock.

v, NJ. Woodwork, OF Merlin, is in
Grants Pass to get assays on ore he
has taken from newly located claims
on Briggs creek, In the region OF the
Big Yank ledge, Mr.. Woodwork has
located property which carries a
handsome ribbon OF rhodonite, the
gem stone. Rhodonite, mineralogi-
cally speaking, Is a manganese spar,
or silicate Of manganese, occurring
crystalized and in rose-red masses.
Some handsome specimens OF this
stone, polished and unpublished, were
on exhibition at the recent mining
congress In Grants Pass. These
specimens came from another por-
tlon of Josephine county. Mr.. Wood
worth finds by tests that his prod
uct carries platinum, and is now de.
termining which will return the

A review that would cover all the
active mining in Josephine county
would require far more space than
can be given at the present time; It
is enough to say that the industry
grows greater constantly and that
when concentrators are placed on the
many ore bodies that can be handled
at a pleasing profit In this county,
more stamp mills or other methods
Of crushing are installed on free mill
Ing rock, more smelters Of the AL
media type or other types erected, and
when the expected railroad transpor-
tation is fact, then Josephine cour-
ty will be one Of the most lively
fields In the west and one OF the
most profitable for both small and
large capital.

The big developed mines Of the
county are busy. The Almeda Is
turning out a high grade matte from
the new smelter.
The Oriole Is blocking out for
tunes In ore and is soon to be put on
a treatment plant.
Other properties are soon to Join
the big class. Adolph Maier, who
has charge Of the Michigan mine,
states that the secretary OF the
Oregon Strong Ledge Mining COM
pany, which owns the property, has
telegraphed him that the company
will soon instruct him to begin work.
Mr. Maier states that the first thing
he desires to do Is to start work to

In the rich telluride district of
Canyon creek and Fiddlers gulch are
many men busy opening prospects.
From that country, some day not far
In the future, 1t is expected that cor
rect news will come of one of the
richest gold finds made in the west
In years Samuel Bowden has valu-
able holdings there, also a placer
property which only needs the water
to return the stuff that makes prim-
rose paths.
Mr.. Bowden also Is manager and
one OF the owners Of the Vanguard
ledge located seven miles west Of
Kerby. This is the Vanguard Gold
and Copper Mining company, off
GERS Of which are, Samuel Bowden,
Geo. 8. Calhoun, w. F. Horn, II. G.
Dixon, and Charles Phillips. The
owners have sent a tunnel In on the
ledge for distance Of so feet, and
the breast is all ore. 1t is the inten-
tion to continue the tunnel a further
distance of 800 feet. This will give
1900 feet Of backs as the hill is a
steep one. The ore is a copper sui
phide with generous gold values and
is identical with the Almeda, and
when treated will return high
grade matte. This is one OF the
most valuable OF the undeveloped
properties in the county.
