H. Mattern is over from his mines
in Siskiyou county, spending a week
or more at his home in Ashland. He
is operating two mines and the work
at present is several hundred feet
into the earth. He says occasionally
they have samples of ore equal to a
magnificent specimen exhibited by
him some years ago. This came
from northern California. 1t was
white quartz about the size and
shape of two hands with the palms
placed together, and the free gold
stuck out in chunks all over it, max
ing up perhaps a fifth or more OF
more of the entire surface. 1t was
shown at the old Bank of Ashland
and subsequently sent to Portland
and put on display in one of the big
jewelry store windows.
