up, averages from to 5 per cent
copper and about 50 in gold per ton.
1t is from this tunnel that the
two cars Of ore shipped last week
about Il per cent copper and approx
imately s. per ton in gold. Most of
the ore encountered in the tunnel
occurs in the form of copper carbon
ates with frequent pockets of sui
phides occurring in the form OF
glance. A 20-pound sample of the
latter recently brought to Parker
from the mine for display purposes
assayed better than As per cent
copper.
The formation on the surface at
this point shows shear zone from
40 to so feet in width. The ore
occurs in fssure veins and along the
contact of all intrusive porphyry and
an altered gneiss. Along this pOr-
phyry the outcrop of the ore chute
can be traced for about 800 feet.
Countless small iron stringers cut
greater or lesser amounts of high
grade copper ore and fair values in
gold. Even the leanest Of these
stringers, which show no copper at
all, carry gold, as was learned when
a recent assay of Is "blank" samples
gave an average gold return Ut
1920 per ton.
In addition to the ore chute men,
toned above, three others outcrop
along similar contacts, which can
be traced for an aggregate length
of about 400 feet. Two of these
ore chuts are similar in general ap-
pearance and values to the one de-
Scribed, but the third is much
wider and, on the surface at least,
contains much better ore. Three
carloads shipped from the sur
face float of this ore body averaged

MONEY TO BURN

1t is estimated that there are eigh.
teen billion feet Of merchantable tim
ber in the Siletz valley. 1t is a well
known fact that 1t costs six dollars,
or more, per thousand to take the
timber from the woods and manufac-
ture II into lumber. This means tina,
It will cost one hundred and eight mil.
lions of dollars 10 manufacture the
SiletZ timber. Half Of this money will
be spent In the logging operations,
which means that fifty.four millions
Of dollars will be spent in the Upper
and Lower Siletz and around the
Agency. In addition to this there In
the eighteen millions OF dollars that
will be received by the timber owners
for stumpage, even at the low estimate
of 81 per thousand. II the bar pro.
ject carries and the timber begins TO
move. Lincoln county will have more
money than 1t knows what to do with.
Instead of 1t being burden to pay our
taxes there will be nothing to IT, Vote
for the harbor Improvement and lower
taxes.
