Apparently this is the 36th year of the - ScholarsArchive at Oregon ...

The vein was never uncovered,. After years of heavy beck breaking
labor, work was abandoned, on the mine around 1.91.2 or 191J4. The little
cabin by the mine was gradually reclaimed by the forest. Al]. that
r.aain now are the holes in the creek bottom and. hillside.
Scattered through the hills of Tillamook County are the remains
of severs], such mining endeavors, most make in search of cinnabar.
Legend has it that hidden deep in mountainous forest folds lies a
secret tin mine. Uncovered many years ago and known only by a few,
that treasure waits to be discovered again.

THE LOST LODE
A rumor here has gone the round
That near Mt. Hebo once was found
A mine of wealth, rich and rare
Which Siana the assayer claimed was cinnabar
One of Oregon's pioneers
Mad. this discovery it appears
But was lost, by some 'tie said,
When he the rich discovery mad.
He'd many times these mountains crossed
Yet nsver dreamed of getting lost,
But this time did, the story goes,
And wandered. where, God only knows
And in his wanderings found the place,
Somewhere near Mt. Hebo's base,
Ther. in a canyon found th. ore
But, alas could find, the place no more
To find himself was no light task,
Yet this he did, then loudly &sked,
"Where is my mine of cinnabar?"
An echo answered "Tionas Caw
Time and gold he spent in vain,
In hopes to find the lode agains
Yet nst.r. found an easy task.
To keep it from the old man's grasp
Then mountains high and. gulches deep.
With rocky spurs, sharp and steep,
Were found to guard for ought we know
The wealth surrounding Mt. }iebo.
