  • Notes on the Bohemia Mining District, Oregon
    NOTES ON THE BOHEMIA MINING DISTRICT, OREGON. By DONALD FRANCIS MACDONALD. INTRODUCTION. The Bohemia mining district is in Lane and Douglas counties, west-central Oregon. It lies on Calapooya Mountain, in the western foothills of the Cascade Range. The district is about 30 miles south­ east of Cottage Grove, a small town on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The Oregon and Southeastern Railroad runs from Cottage Grove to Disston, within 12 miles of the mines, which are reached by stage. In August, 1908, the writer made a short stay in this district and incidentally to otl}er work visited some of the larger mineral proper­ ties. For some of the data presented• herein he is indebted to Mr. J. S. Diller, of the United States Geological Survey, who made a reconnaissance of the region in 1898,a and for many courtesies to Messrs. L. D. Ryan, F. J. Hard, W. W. Warner, and other mining men of the district. PHYSIOGRAPHY AND GENERAL GEOLOGY. The relief of the district is pronounced. Several peaks are more than 6,000 feet high, and the elevation of the lowest valleys is less than 2,000 feet. This bold relief is the result of mountain glaciation and stream ero&ion. The luxuriant vegetation due to the humid climate has somewhat masked the geologic features of the region. Great forests clothe the mountain slopes and the region is notable for its timber value. The rocks of the district are andesitic lavas and tuft's of Tertiary age, which are cut by dacite porphyry and probably by basalt.

  • Appendix a Slope Stability Assessment
    Appendix A Slope Stability Assessment Sharps Creek Landslide Inventory and Slope Stability Assessment The landslide history of Sharps Creek was developed using a series of 1:24000 air photographs to identify observable landslide features (primarily debris slides) in a time sequence. Due to the mixed ownership, the photo record includes Umpqua Forest coverage as well as Eugene BLM photos. Three flight years were evaluated to develop an understanding of the historical landslide occurrence, relative to disturbance in Sharps Creek. The 1946 photos were used for historic perspective on the National Forest, however 1950 photos were the earliest available for the BLM. The period of early management activity was observed using the 1966 flight for the forest and 1968 for the BLM. The third series included 1988 forest coverage and 1990 photos for the BLM. While it is well accepted that landslide analysis using air photos without field verification has limited applicability, it does provide a broad scale understanding of the frequency and magnitude of landslides, particularly shallow rapid ones. During the interpretation phase, an attempt was made to identify the type or associated disturbance with each feature. Each landslide was assigned an attribute, either natural, timber or road, based on proximal location to observable characteristics. In addition to the development of a comprehensive landslide layer in a GIS format, an attempt was made to incorporate a modeling approach to predict potential mass wasting hazards. In cooperation with the Eugene District of the BLM, in particular Barry Williams, we utilized a cohesionless, infinite slope stability model developed by Montgomery and Deitrich (1994) to portray areas subject to mass wasting potential.

Anyone taking this field trip is warned of the dan­ gers of entering abandoned mines, caves, open pits, and quarries. Remember, you enter any mine at your own risk, and the greatest dangers are those that you cannot see until it is too late. Mines that look safe to you may instead be extremely dangerous.

It is the largest mineral- producing area in the western Cascade Range of Oregon, although mining districts in eastern and southern Oregon have singly produced more gold. Historically, Bohemia is credited with over one and a half million dollars in gold--certainly much more at today's prices. Bohemia is one of the best preserved historic mining districts in the Northwest. Although damaged by vandalism and harsh weather conditions, it contains the remains of buildings, machinery, and trails from the early mining days. Bohemia also possesses evidence of the remains of Indian cultures which occupied this area before the miners came in search of gold. LLL I (3 1 .-'-------r 1 p o , 1 r HI S V Location of the Bohemia Mining District BOHEMIA BEFORE THE MINERS Anthropologists who have studied the Bohemia Mining District have 'found that Indians were here before the miners arrived. The way of life of Indians in this area is not well known, because there is no written information, nor have there been archaeological excavations.Anthro- pologists suggest how the Indians might have lived in the Bohemia region based upon information known about other cultural areas that might be similar to Bohemia in climate, terrain, and resources.
