The 1912 mine report shows Oregon gold output at 770 041 dollars with a substantial rise to 1 393 322 dollars in 1913 per Yale of the U S Geological Survey.

The rise in Oregon gold for 1913 is led by deep mines, with 50 to 60 of 100 producing. The Columbia at Sumpter in Baker county is the most productive, followed by Highland Development Co. at Baker, Commercial Mining Co. at Rye Valley, and West Coast Mines Co. at Champion. Baker county accounts for a large share of deep mine ore, while Josephine leads in placer output. Most ore is milled locally rather than shipped to smelters.
