Fogh, part owner of the fa- mous Dutch Miller copper mine in this county, was in Tacoma yester- day and gave many interesting de- taille of the new discovery, which feemas to open up @ vast field for mining enterprise, He was inter- in which he is quoted as follows: “The discovery,” said Mr. Fogh, “Hes in a wild portion of the coun- tey, nearly on the line between King ané Kittitas. It is nine miles from the nearest railroad, the Great Northern, and the connecting point Mes four miles east of Skykomish, the nearest town. The nine miles to the railroad is an impassable wilderness, and we are compelled to ao in by way of Roslyn, a distance of about eighty miles, going across the mountains. There ts a road or trait nearly all this distan “The mine was originally dis- covered by Indians, and was located by Tbutch Miller, a trapper, and my- self. There are a number of other * capper mining properties in the vic- inity which have shown great prom- ise, though none have proved as rich or as large as the Dutch Miller, A solid vein of ore has been uncov- ered, which is 18% feet wide, and seems inexhaustible. This ore runs 17.8 per cent. copper; 12.19 per cent. rilver, and t per cent. gold, a total value In assay of about $89 a ton, This is wonderfully rich ore and will be well worth exploiting at any cost. In handing it T expect to put in ® matting plant, probably on the Rosivn route, though it would be much better to have it between the mine and the railroad in the direc- Uon of Skykomish. “The location of this property te one of the most significant events tn the history of Washington. In the | vichcty of the new discovery for a section of the country nearly thirty miles square, the same rich indica- tlona have heen found “The Dutch Miller mine is in. a bread stip of mineral bearing coun- try running from the mountains through the Cle-Flum district, the Dutch Miller country, Miller river, Money creek and Index district. It in a big section and affords room for mining development which, with Jother mineral properties, will make Washington the leading mining state of the Union. What we need mort to Gevelon the region Is a wagon road. There is no way of getting the ore out now, but as soon as there ts, the boom will come. T hope he county will build the road, and efforta will be directed toward that end. The ten-mile road will cost a fow thousand dollars, I don’t know just how much, but not a great amount."
