MINES OF SOUTHERN OREGON
Two Counties Alone Have Produced Over

"Southern Oregon Is today the best gold-
v " 'mining region In the United States. Jack
son and Josephine counties produced last
year nearly $1,000,000 , and there la no reason
on earth why the output should not bo Rvo
or oven ten times that amount this year , "
says an experienced miner In the columns of
the Portland Oregonlan. "Theso two counties
contain moro mirlferous gravel ot an accessi
ble nature than any other known section of
the mineral world. The country Is not only
supplied with what is called 'old channels , '
but contains moro ledges and ledges crop-
pings than any other section of equal area
In the world. During the past forty years
these two counties have produced over $40-
000,000 worth of placer gold , and yet the
source of that wealth Is comparatively un-
'touchod. If this ground wcro located in
South Africa or up around the North polo ,
where hardship or expense was Incident ,
people would flock In there by the thousands ,
but because It can bo reached by a Pullman
car It Is looked upon with suspicion. I know
ot 20 000 acres of ground In those two coun
ties that will prospect and pay from $1.000
to $10 000 per acre , with water on It. And
the beauty of the thing Is that the water Is
there In abundance. All it requires Is capi
tal to develop It. In proof of the assertion
I make that southern Oregon Is the best
placer mining region In the world , I need
only refer to the fact that C.V. . Ayres of
Slsklyou county , California , who Is the in n-
iiiB commissioner from Oregon at the Mid
winter fair. Is securing his gravel for exhi
bition mining purposes from southern Oro-
uon to work under a California banner. This
Is the old story of placing Oregon products
under a California label. His mlno Is In
California , but his pay dirt Is In Oregon.
Southern Oregon. In addition to living un-
llihlted 'pay dirt , ' has a debris outlet In the
Rogue river which will never bo hampered
by legislation , such as the California minor
as to contend with. One thing that 1ms
retarded mining development In southern
more than any other Is Its access.

Snd Vincent Cook , who clean up from $10,000

I'ass from $ C.OOO to $10,000 n season ; William

lessor note. These mines are all paying well ,
simply because they are well managed. Be

eral largo enterprises under way. John C.
Lewis of Portland has 50 men at work on
a ditch In Josephine county. Captain J. A.
Drown of this city has another nearly as
large , whllo a Chicago company has just
completed the largest pumping outfit In the
world for the same purpose. "
1JIG STIUKE IN THE EMMA < 3.
There has been another big mining strike
and , according to the news received , It Is
by all odds the greatest discovery over made
In this section of the west , says the Laramle
Boomerang.
The strike referred to has Just been made
In the Emma O. mine , twenty miles west of
Laramlo. This lead was discovered last sum
mer and there was a great rush to the loca
tion. The ere was very rich then , but , after
sinking a short distance , the original discov
ery ran out and the vein was lost. Then
they went down the hill and began a tunnel ,
expecting to strlko the lead after going In.
They have been at work > ere all winter ,
and the tunnel Is now In 135 feet. It Is at
this distance that they encountered the lat
est strlko. They have gene through' the
vein , which proves to bo twenty feet wide ,
with perfect walls on cither sldo. Oeorgo
Morgan and Thomas Morgan brought some
of the ere from fourteen different places
across the vein and this number of assays
Is being made at the university. J. II.
Watklns mada a test of the ere and secured
a rcsul of ? 'H ' ncr ton of gold. All the
ere Is not so rich as this , but Tom Morgan ,
who Is an experienced minor , says they
have It sure , and plenty of It. The ere Is
supposed to run from $40 to $400 per ton.
Some 'oro that they had been throwing
on the dump and which was at ono tlnio
considered worthless has boon assayed and
found to run from $40 to $53 per ton. The
135-foot tunnel has been cut In through
almost solid rock.
The body of ore where they have struck
It Is about sixty feet from the surface. The
walls are said to bo as flno as ever seen.
There Is a clay-llko substance between the
era and the walls on cither sldo , and the
rock fulls away from the walls and leaves
them as straight and smooth as possible.
In a short distance further they will strlko
the chimney , from which they think the
first discovery was made , and around this
It Is expected they will llnd some very rich
ore.
HOW AIUZONA WAS NAMED ,
"Tho name 'Arizona' Is from a beautiful
old Aztec tradlfpn , which teaches that the
earth Is the offspring of the sky ; that long
prior to the present race of men the earth
was peopled by a race of giants , who In time
died off , leaving the earth uninhabited , " says
ox-Governor Zulick of Arizona. "After a
long time a celestial virgin , a child of ono of
the thirteen great dlctles who rule all things ,
came down to the earth , and , being well
pleased , remained for a lung tlmo Its solo
occupant. Once when In deep sleep a drop
of dow from heaven fell upon her and she
bore two children , a son and a daughter ,
from whom have sprung all tha people of
the earth. The name of this celestial virgin
was Arlzunna , 'the beautiful or son-beloved
maiden. ' As early as 1540 a Spanish expe
dition visited Arizona and carried with It
buck to Mexico wonderful accounts of the
country. Other expeditions succeeded , and
In 15GO a Sp.inlsh explorer and Jesuit fathers
made a settlement at Tucson , this town now
being the second oldest In the United States ,
being settled only live years after St. Augus
tine , Flu. The mission church of Han Xavler
del Dae Is tha pride of Arizona. It was com
menced In 176S on the slto of ono of the
samU name which had long been In decay
and which Is supposed to have been built
about 159S. Tbo present structure Is a com
mingling of the ancient Moorish and Dyzan-
tlno styles of architecture , the outside being
castellated and surrounded by a dome and
two minarets. When Inside the church the
beholder Is forcibly struck with the display
of skill In Its structure , Its beauty and
grandeur and the taste displayed in Its
adornment. The Interior has the form of
the Latin cross and the walls and ceilings
are tastefully frescoed and decorated. Four
largo fresco paintings are executed with
rare skill. The four evangelists In sculpture
adorn the main altar and the scroll work Is
covered with gold loaf , which In Its early
days when fresh and bright must have pre
sented a beautiful , grand and gorgeous sight
to the wild Indians , who had never seen any
thing of like character. In former days
there were large quantities of gold and silver
ornaments In the church , some of which
have been lost and stolen ; among the valu
ables left , however , are ono full sot of
priest's vestments , two gold cruets , a silver
cross , several silver candlesticks and a
Douay blblo of the date 1C92. When It Is
remembered that this old , venerable and
wonderful church was commenced 123 years
ago in a wild Indian country , over half a
century before Indianapolis was first settled ,
admiration must be accorded the great energy -
orgy , perseverance and indomitable will of
the old Jesuit and Franciscan fathers who
planned , carried out and so successfully ac
complished this great work. It Is the only
remaining cdlllco left by a former century
and age. "
A RICH VEIN.
The strlko made In the Banner tunnel a
short time ago Is proving to bo the greatest
that this county has known for many years ,
If over , says the Anaconda Standard. This
tunnel has been running nearly three years
for the Banner mine , and Is now In 3,000
feet. The vein that promises to be such a
.bonanza was discovered two or three weeks
ago , and Is ono that does not show any ere
to speak of on the surface. The find was
entirely unexpected , and Is a cross vein.
Its course is northwest and southeast , whllo
all of the mines In that country opened up
run In the contrary direction.
The vein , which the tunnel Is now follow
ing , Is from live to eighteen Inches wide ,
and the ere BO rich that the truth would
not bo believed. ' The assays show It to go
from 400 to 2,000 ounces per ton. This Is
much richer than the famous Banner , which
milled all the way from 200 to 315 ounces
per ton.
When the tunnel reaches the Banner the
Elmlra company will have two great mines
opened up at depths of over 600 feet and will
put on a largo force of minors and start
up the mill. When working the full quota
of men moro than 100 are kept In tha mines.
All of the lumber for the building of the '
South Africa mill Is now on the ground
and the work of erection has been resumed.
Placer miners are waiting very anxiously
for the season to open. The longer spring Is
delayed the shorter will bo the season.
A DAMAGED DAM.
The Cache La Poudre reservoir , two miles
northeast of Tlmnath , suffered considerable
damage from high winds. The drifting Ice
was forced against the head gate , crushing
In the stone abutments of the dam and
pushing the steel screw plates of the gate
out of shape ; also clogging the gates with
drift Ice so as to Interfere with their work-
Ing.Tho
The reservoir covers 480 acres of land ,
contains twenty-six feet of water and feeds
No. 2 canal , under which Is the best farming
district in that section of Colorado , and If
by this accident Is should bo necessary to
draw off the water to make the necessary
repairs It would result In a loss to crops
under the ditch amounting to between $75-
000 and $100,000 , But the dam la being
strengthened , and it Is thought that with the
assistance of a diver the debris can be
cleared and the damage repaired without
entailing this loss.
THIRTY MILES OF COAL FIELD.
Don Carlos Conant , a wealthy resident of
the state of Sonora , Mcx. , Is visiting his
family in this city at their flno residence on
Front and Elm streets , says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Having been born and
xralscd In Sonora ho Is thoroughly familiar
\\lth the coal fields of that region , and spoke
enthusiastically of their extent and quality.
The coal fields are about 100 miles from
Guaymas , where a largo area has been and
Is now being prospected with diamond drills ,
The reports of the engineers on anthracite
deposits formerly stated that they were near
the surface , but not long ago while the own
ers of the Taramara silver mlno were sinking
to get under the old works they found at a
depth of 430 feet a twelve-foot vein of the
Illicit coal In the state , which subsequent
prospecting with diamond drills Indicates
covers an area fully thirty miles In diameter ,
Los Bronces being the center. The best
deposit , however. Is at Las Barrancas.
The San Marclal fields are the ones at first
reported , dnd they are extensive. A Cali
fornia company is now prospecting there.
