RICHNESS OF GOLD IN
ALlEGHANY DISTRICT

The mines in the Allegheny dis
triet in the southwestern part of
Sierra county, Calf, are of interest
not only on account of the extreme
richness of the ore, some of which
may contain as much as 100000
a ton in gold but also because of the
problems they offer in the study of
vein formation. The mines in this
section were visited by H.. G.. Fergu-
son oil the United States geological
survey and his report has been pub
lished by the survey as bulletin $50
[.
The Allegheny district lies within
the Tahoe national forest, but it's
more accessible parts, though once
heavily timbered, have been almost
completely denuded. Difficulty of
access has been a serious handicap
to the mining industry. Nevada City
the nearest railroad stations
% miles distant IL an air line but
about 40 miles by stage road.
The district was among those
first discovered in the early days of
California gold mining. At first the
rich river bars absorbed the at
tention of the miners. After the
bars were exhausted, work was
largely confined to the %gravels, and
hydraulic mining, followed by drift
mining, was at first the principal oc-
%cupation of the camps.
Lode mining was carried on mean
while in a desultory way and oc-
casionally masses Of rich ore were
taken from the veins. The history

Queer Logan in 1907 With the redis-
covery of the TightneI vein by n.
t.. Johnson.
1t is impossible to obtain any fig
ures showing the output from the
quartz veins of the district distinct
from the placers. An estimate has
been made that the yield up to 1909
from quartz mines in the entire Col
fax quadrangle has not exceeded
$4,000, 5000. Probably half of this
was derived from mines in the vi
entity of Allegheny. From 1908 to
1912 the production of the lode
mines of the district was more than
500, 600.

POTASH IN MUDS OF
COLUMBUS MARSH

In searching for a domestic source
of potash in the United States, the
geological survey has explored more
or less thoroughly a number of the
desert basins in the west. Among
the regions Investigated is the mud
flat known as Columbus marsh,
which lies midway between Reno and
Tonopah, New, and has an area OF
about 35 square miles. Nine shall
low wells have been sunk in this
marsh and the borings and waters
have been examined for potash.
Though commercial quantities of pot
ash were nOt found and no saline
beds encountered, the data obtained
in the exploration nave a scientific
value. A more extensive chemical
study has been made of the muds
from one of the wells by w. B. Hicks
and the results are given in a recent
survey publication, issued as profess
sional paper 95-A. This report
shows that the mu1s contain a high
Lercentage of potassium, only a
sInall part of which is soluble in wa
ter. The results of the chemical
study indicate further that a large
part of the potassium in the muds
has been absorbed from solution and
is held in a loosely combined form.
A copy of the publication, which
is technical in character, may be OBJ
tanned free on application to the di-
rector of the geological survey,

struction and owners OF railway

Mr.. Miller will give special atten

XMAS CHEER FOR GRANTS PASS

XMAS CHEER FOR GRANTS PASS.
The visit of Santa Claus to the
Rogue valley in 1915 will live long
in the memory Of our people. On
Christmas eve there came over the
wire the encouragement that the
directors of the Oregon-Utah Sugar
company had approved the contracts
for acreage. and that the contract
for the construction of the factory
would be let in January. For many
weeks the people Of this district have
been bending every energy toward
bringing the factory to the valley.
not because of the factory itself. but
because Of the great industry which
1t would develop. The planting Of
5000 acres OF beets means a great
deal to southern Oregon. 1t means
that market has been developed for
q product that will grow to perfec-
tion here, and that will escape the
freight rate handicap through being
made into sugar here on the ground.
Keeping pace with the sugar indus
try will be the upbuilding of the
livestock interests.
The news Of progress in railroad
building, the promise Of harbor de-
velopment, the activity that VIII oe
brought about in mining and lumber
ing through the building Of the rail
road, fill the Rogue valley stocking
to overfowing. 1t is indeed Merr!
Christmas, and 1t bespeaks a Happy
New Year.
