GOLD BRICK FROM
HIGGINS WEIGHS S7O3

A gold brick weighing s703.10 is
on exhibition at the Josephine County
hank, the metal coming from Higgins
mine, the Golden Dream. This brick
represents gold from output of the
mine by one man for 80 hours work.
J. T. Logan, who, with the Schmitt
brothers, hold an option on the prop
erty, superintended the work of the
miner, and Mr.. Logan himself melted
down the product.
The brick is handsome specimen
and is ocular demonstration of the
richness of the product of the claim.
The property is yet an enigma, ge-
ologically speaking. Whether 1t is a
permanent ledge or not has not
been determined. Mr.. Logan today
said that if he could he would turn a
giant on 1t and this would soon tear
away all of the overburden, which
would expose solid formation. Then
II ledge also exists It would clearly
show. Water in abundance is avail.
able, but the life of the deal, a to-
tai of only 80 days all told, was not
sufficient for the holders of the op.
ton to rig up giant. The option
has only few more days to live
when, If Logan and the Schmitts buy
they must make payment of SIS,
600 cash. The total purchase price Il
to. be $4,000. One reason why DR.
J. F. Reddy, of Medford, did not tak'
the property was that he would hav'
had to pay $4,000 for it. the holders
of the option asking the Medfort
capitalist $4,000 advance on thei
option of $4,000. The purchas
price, however, was not the snag II
the way of trade, but DR.. Redd,
wanted longer time than an option o
80 days in which to prove the prop
erty. He was willing to pay $500
II he found the property worth tha
sum. AS it was, he would have ha
less than 80 days for several days Q
the life of the option had already ez
pired.
Whether Logan and the Schmitt
will make the payment Of $4,000
not known. They have until June Il
IL days, in which to decide, If the
have not done so already.
