Oregon Mining Journal: Mr. Enos Mallory of Grants Pass, who has been prospecting near Dry Diggings since 1864, has at last been rewarded by findg ing a ledge four feet five inches wide, and he is now" pushing development work on the ledge as rapidly as his limited facilities will warrant. The ledge is highly mineralized its entire width, and assays from $6 to $300 per ton. The vein shows only a limited amount of free gold, but the rock can be easily concentrated by the usual methods. The tunnel is within 300 feet of the railroad track and three miles from this city. Water power for milling purposes is on Rogue river, 1000 streak that will run $1000 a ton.

The Castner Coal and Coke company has just completed plans whereby its extensive system for making coke will be increased in the very near future. The pay-ro- ll at the San Coulee coal mines for the last month amounted to $45,000. This was for fifteen days, and the output of coal for the same period was 30,000 tons. The Finch syndicate has secured a half interest in the Friday quartz claim in the Yahk district, and negotiations are now pending in the same district for other properties. For the month of February the output of the Drum Lummon mine at Marysville was 5880 tons of ore, which mp feet south of the ledge. South Geyser Mining Company.

They drove 20 feet east from the tunnel that cut the vein at the depth of 40 feet, and then sunk 50 feet. In the crosscut and also in the winze the vein of rich ore averages 18 inches in width, with considerable second class ore that will pay handsomely to mill. It assays $63 per ton. From the bottom of the winze they drifted 10 feet west and 30 feet east. The ore from this drift will mill at least $100 per ton. In the top of this lower winze the ore vein is three feet wide, and at the bottom six feet, which is very encouraging for a monster mine, as it lays against a porphyry vein four feet wide that will mill at least $80 per ton. Some of the ore in the wrest drift assays as high as $125 per ton. Taking all the ledge, as far as developed (to a depth of 100 feet), they figure on it milling an average of $25 per ton. In doing this work they have taken out as small amount of ore as possible, but have 50 tons that will mill about $80, and 40 tons that will yield $30 per ton. ore-produc- ers Assessment No. 2 of cent was share to levied per prosecute further development work.
