Gold Ridge Mine
To Incorporate

From tho Gold Ridge mine, In the
famous Willow Springs district, mil
lions of dollars in placer and quartz
have been obtained in years gone by
The Gold Ridge mine was discovered
several years ago by pocket hunter
who sold il to Clark and Chiders
about a year ago for $4,000. These
gentlemen sold some interest In the
property to other parties in Medford,
and they have developed 1t to the
status of real mine.
The mine is located on the high
point of ridge some 1900 feet above
the surrounding country accessible
to the main road from Jacksonville
to Gold Hill and about three miles
from the latter place. There have
been five tunnels run on the prop
erty, the first being near the top
Of the point and the last about 400
feet below the apex of the point
where the ore shute begins. This
Is from three to six feet across the
face, and prospects from paintings
and assays from $40 to $4,000 ton,
according to the engineers report.
The property is equipped with
modern flye-stamp amalgamating
mill with Whitley concentrating ta-
BILE, q small compressor and general
outfit OF ordinary miners equip
ment. A tramway has been con-
structed and cars carry the ore down
to the mill FROM the No. level,
where the main working tunnel now
cuts the ore shute.
It is estimated that when the tun-
mel on the mill level is run to cut
the ore shute, there will be $4,000
tons of thirty dollar ore in sight,
and an equal amount Of low grade
$40 per ton-in the
loot walls.

If southern Oregon are adjacent to
his property, and the old China
iulch placers and the Kansas Creek
,lacers, both OF which were phen0-
nenally rich In early days, head
lgainst the two sides of the Gold
Ridge mine.
The company has just been auth
,rlzed to incorporate under the blue
ky" law of Oregon. and the original
have taken 100000
hares OF the stock on basis OF 25
ents a share, or so per cent of the
,ar value. This leaves 100000 shares
o be sold before incorporation can
70 completed.
The development OF this mine will
mean the establishment OF industry
hat may be a rival OF the Tomb
tone mine which sold for millions.
