trict, and by spring they will undoabtedly go over there. This
electric corporation has two large plants in the county, the combined horse-power of which is twenty-seven hundred. Thirty
thousand additional horse-power can be had by utilizing the horseshoe bend of the Klamath River, near the location of their largest
plant,—the one on Fall Creek.
To give you an idea of the wonderful water power to be had
in the county, the company utilizing the water power of Fall Creek
had to dig but forty-seven hundred feet of ditch to get a vertical
drop of seven hundred and fifteen feet.
Copper deposits are distributed all over our County, the
largest belt being in the Siskiyou mountains, extending sixty
miles from east to west and twenty miles from north to south,
the latter distance taking in the country from the Klamath River
to the Oregon boundary line. The most extensive deposits are in
the country north of Seiad and Horse creeks,—the Joe Creek
country as it is called, where two hundred locations have been
made. Much development work is being done there, the Blue
Ledge Company alone have two or three million in ore blocked

annoy or injure no one, The mines are high enough to allow of
drainage of two thousand feet,

Cragey on Ash and Indian creeks, and in other parts of the
sounty, copper properties are being exploited, and in some instances extensive deposits found,
