250pp leather bound journal of an Oregon gold miner. It is an unusual diary of sorts, with daily entries on what was done and by whom, how many hours spent, etc. The journal was that of Charles Anderson, who stamped his name inside the front cover. Anderson had several partners, one prominent one being Albert W, and another "Hugh". More appear throughout the ledger diary. The diary starts in sept. 18912 with Charles and Albert cleaning and repairing an old "race" (sluice works) on an unnamed mining claim at Rock Point. Anderson also had a ranch nearby, which he and associates worked on thru time. Interesting quotes throughout, particularly their prospecting ventures... "worked on a pocket all day, got it all out" but doesn't discuss in writing the gold output. Anderson also uses humor often, with comments like "Hip Hip Hurrah" Rock Point was a gold mining camp on the Rogue River, now completely gone. This is an excellent record of a miner's life in the 1890s. Rock Point Oregon
