Cline Buttes
[edit]- ... that in 1904, gold was discovered on Cline Buttes in central Oregon, but when the ore was assayed it proved uneconomical to mine?
Source: In a High Desert Voices article dated February 2017 (article ref 20), it says: "Gold was discovered in a ledge outcrop on Cline Buttes … The assays were sent to two different assayer offices. The values of $1.86 and $1.05 to the ton gold and silver were received. This amount was determined to be inadequate to successfully pursue further development and mining never developed in the Bend area." This information appears to be drawn from local newspapers reports from 1904 including a "Crook County Journal" article dated 14 April 1904; and a Bend Bulletin article dated 10 June 1904.
