ESTERLY FINDS
OLD CHANNEL
BIH
The original "old channel,” or bed
of the ancient river, the dream of
which has caused many a weary pros
pector to renew the search, has been
discovered in the George Max Esterly
mine at Waldo, Ore., and one giant
is now operating in gravel carrying a
plentiful supply of coarse gold.
Last week a pit was piped to a
depth of twenty-two feet below the
level of former workings, at a point
between two benches of bedrock which
had previously been uncovered. This
pit opened up a bed of gravel entirely
different in character from the clay
banks which have proved immensely
profitable during the past fifty years
of active operation of the mine. The
depth of this gravel has not yet been
determined, as no testing has been
done in this particular spot, although
a hundred prospect shafts had been
sunk during the preliminary investi
gation of the property. No clean-up
has yet been made upon which to base
an estimate of the values carried, but
enough panning has been done to show
high values.
Heretofore the gold secured at this
mine has been fine and flour gold,
and was evenly distributed through
the clay banks, which ranged from
fifteen to thirty-five feet.
This property, formerly known as
the Logan mine and the Simmons
mine, has been a profitable producer
for more than fifty years. It now
consists of 4,200 acres, practically all
Mrhinh l u nov AXTItk <4 1 <-» n
water right of 14,000 inches. Water
for mining is supplied by a system of
ditches totaling twenty-five miles in
length.
This property was purchased in
September, 1910, at a cost of $140,000
from James Logan, who had success
fully operated it for many years.
The lack of sufficient grade for the
dumping of tailings led to the instal
lation of a hydraulic elevator system,
the tailings being carried up seventy
three feet by two elevators. The in
stallation of a third elevator carries
the tailings a total distance of eighty
nine feet above the pit just opened.
All the standard placer gold-saving
devices are in use, yet owing to the
fineness of the gold much of it fir car
ried over in the tailings. Mr. Esterly
proposes to install during the coming
season an invention of his own called
a water classifier, and which he is con
fident will recover 90 per cent of the
values. It is proposed to do away
with the elevator ^system by opening
a race to the west fork of the Illinois
river. This race will require a 700
foot tunnel through serpentine. The
elimination of the hydraulic elevator
system will release for actual mining
a volume of water several times that
now used. The expense of these im
provements is estimated at from $40,
000 to $50,000.
The daily capacity of the mine is
1,000 cubic yards, at an average cost
of less than 6 cents, but when the
contemplated improvements are made
the capacity will be much greater, with
a reduction of operation cost to about
one-half cent per yard.
The mine is in operation day and
night for eight months in the year, a
battery of nine 2,000-candle power
searchlights and many 1,000-candle
power tower lights making night work
possible.

COWBOYS REFUSE TO
FAJ1 FOR FAKE MOVIES
EL PASO, Texas, April 9.—Motion
pictures have spoiled the cowman’s
lesire to Bee roping, riding and other’
’orms of "wild West” exhibitions. This
svas demonstrated here during the
Panhandle Southwestern Stockmen's
Association convention. The rodeo
ind round-up was a failure, while the
iheaters, tea rooms and cabarets did
i rushing business.
One cattleman explained it in a
characteristic statement: “We’ve seen
:oo many of these hair pants heroes
:rom Hoboken in the movies to want
Lo go out and watch them do indif
ferent riding and roping. Besides,
we see all that we want at home.
When we are in town we like the
theaters, the dances and other city
life of which we are deprived out on
the range.”
INVALIDED NINE Y RS
TAKES FIRST AUTO RIDE
YUMA, Ariz., April 9.—Nine years
without ever having left his own door
step was the experience of Charles
Ingalls of this city, till his friends
broke the monotonous round of *the
rheumatic invalid’s life and took him
for his first trip in an automobile.
Last week this Yuma pioneer’s as
sociates placed Ingalls in an invalid’s
chair, put the chair on a borrowed
auto truck and gave him his first trip
around his own city in 108 months.
