Is needed In the state. whore there
are few extensive properties in oper-
alton. Baker county continues to be
by far the most productive county of
the state. yielding annually fully S5
per cent of all the gold, The most
productive deep mine in Oregon in
1915, as also for the preceding two
years, was that OF the Commercial
Mining company, operating the Rain
bow mine In Cracker Creek district,
Baker county. This property Is
shortly to be turned back to Its ORR
ginal owners. Among other large
producers In the same county is the
Cornucopia Mining company. In Cor
|nucopia district. which in 1915 In
creased its output for the reason that
they encountered higher grade ore on
the lower levels than they had be-
fore. The Baker Mines company. in
the same district, has put In 500
ton mill. and has been operating most
of the year. In Cracker Creek dis
trict, also In Baker county. the Col
umbia Mines company made about
the same yield as In the previous
year, The output Of the Humboldt
property, In Mormon Basin district.
Malheur county, was not as high as
in 1914 The Ben Harrison mine.
in Granite district, Grant county. was
closed down most of the year 1915
and will not begin operations until
next spring or the placer mines in
Oregon. the most important enter.
prise Is that OF the Powder River
Dredge company, Cracker Creek dis
trict, Baker county This company,
which owned but one dredge In 1914.
put another one in operation in the
same field in 1915. and it is to the
work of this company that the In
crease in gold yield in the state for
the year is mainly due Other placer
mines are the Osgood, Waldo district,
Josephine county; the Layton. in APP
plegate district. Jackson county. and
the smaller mines around Grants
Pass, in Josephine county. The gold
yield from the dredging operations is
greatly in excess of that from all
other forms Of placer mining COM

OREGON MINERAL OUTPUT

A recently issued estimate from the
U. s. geological survey states that
there have been heavy increases in
the mineral output Of Oregon for
1915 over that of the previous year,
both Of gold and silver. The estimate
gives the following figures:
The gold yield for 1914 was ST.
591, ,461 and the estimate for 1915 Is
s1,771,61S, which is an increase Of
$1SO,157 for 1915. The silver out
put for 1914 was 142,552 ounces, and
the estimate for 1915 is 136,033
ounces, or 6,519 ounces less. The
yield of copper in 1914 was 39,248
pounds, while the estimate for 1915
is 910,104 pounds, an increase for
1915 OF S70,S56 pounds; and the
yield of lead was 16,436 pounds in
1914, as compared with $3.50 pounds
in 1915, or 9,7S6 pounds less. These
preliminary figures are compiled by
Charles G. Yale, OF the San Francisco
Office of the survey.
It is noteworthy that such material
increases IN output Of gold and cop
per should be apparent when the fact
is considered that the number Of pro-
ducing mines In Oregon has fallen
Off fully one-third in the past two
years. Those which have dropped
from the producing list, however,
have been mainly small placers Of
various kinds where the ground has
been worked out or has failed to pay.
The larger deep mines continue their
productive career, with few excep-
tions, but not many new properties Of
moment have Of late been opened
More capital for mine development
