THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1895. C In Pioneer District, Amador County, a Jarge amount of gold has been obtained by comparatively listle real development work. Most of the prospectors there lack means to extensively work or equip their claims. 1. D.

The Kise Brothers are going to work the claim with adredger, now being built. The Altoona quicksilver mine, Trinity County, is employing from sixty-five to seventy-five men and making steady sbip- ments. It is stated that the ‘lost vein” in the J a mine, Shasta County, has been found—a three-foot vein of high-grade ore. A great many new locations have been made this season in the northern portion of Trinity County, and those which have been ut all developed show up well. This is a section of the State which has prosper- ity in store for it.

These ‘men are as anxious as the companies for the lode to good many Colorado men have been looking up gold properties in Arizona this | summer. Prescott, Ariz., is experiencing a rapid revival in improvements owing to the successful operations in the surrounding mining districts. The Thomas group of mines in the old Gila City range of mountains, Arizona, has been bonaed to California men for $150,000. It has been supposed that the rich Crown Point mine, Trail Creek, B. C., was on a ledge running east and west, but some men who claim to have discovered that it runs north and south have bought up all the locations north and south of it and or- ganized a big company in Spokane to work them. The Crown Point has an immense mass of ore where opened. Over 150 men are prospecting the coun- try at the foot of Slocan Lake, B. C. The new mill recently erected by the Juneau Mining Company on the Silver Bow basin, Alaska, is now at work crush- ing 110 tons per day. The Berners Bay Mining Company, Alaska, has started up its extra twenty stamps and now has forty stamps crushing ore. The Alaska Mining Record says that §400,000 in gold and silver was shipped from Junean for the month of June. In Southeastern Alaska there are eight mills dropping 395 stamps. The Alaska-Mexican ) & San Francisco company operating in Alaska, took out $204,042 last year. They milled 73,141 tons of ore worth $279fper ton. The cost of mining, milling, sup- plies, etc.,, was $1 79 per ton, leaving a profit of 81.57 cents per ton. The mill has sixty stamps. Miners should remember that a claim is not a mine, and unless they open their prospects sufficiently they cannot expect mine prices for a hole in the ground. They are not expected to work 500-foot shafts, but they can sink them deeg enough to make some kind of a decent showing. All of the mines in the Mogollon Moun- LATEST INFORMATION ONCERNING THIS IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.; ining Company, ! tains, N.

Perhaps some of these days a few “‘rustlers” from TLos Angeles will come into that section and open up a great oil field. Capital and enterprise are both needed in that section. Rumors are again in_circulation that the Spokane smeiter 1s really to start. But as to this there have always been more rumors than starts. The old Pierce City district, in thenorth- ern part of Shoshone County, Idabo, until recently only operated by Chiramen, is filling up with white miners. A great many men have gone to work on the old placers. Four years ago the now flourishing gold camp of Cripple Creek, Colo., was a cattle ranch. All the ground isnow taken up for mining purposes. If the Gold Bank tunnel scheme, Nevada County, goes through as proposed, it will start on the Yuba River, run under the mines on Deer Creek and eventually reach Grass Valley. The distance is about four miles, and the depth to be attained is 2000 feet. The tunnel would drain many mines, and ore could be run out through it to the Yuba, where there are cheap mill- ing facilities. A line of railroad from Elsinore or Wi demar station, Riverside County, to the coal mines is projected by a combination of the Elsinore Coal and Clay companies, the Southern California Railway and the land interests of C. H. Albun. - There are 278 oil wells in operation in Los Angeles and 40 more are being bored. Itis estimated that an expenditure of from $80,000 to $100,000 would place 40C0 { good pressure on all the gravel benches from New River to South Fork, Trinity | County. There are many high benches | open for location along both sides of the Trinity River down to the South Fork, but there are no ditches to furnish water to work them. At mostof these places the dump is from 100 to 125 feet right into the river, with no anti-debris | it. Capital is badly needed in that section of Trinity County. There is considerable excitement at Camp Creek in the Cochetopa gold belt, forty miles north of Creede, Colo., between Spring and Goose creeks. The ore is mainly gold bearing, with some silver. It is reported that Colonel Egan of Colo- rado, who is interested in the Alice mine at Perris, has purchased the Ranchito mine, at Banner, San Diego County. It is reported that a 60-foot gasoline lzunch is to be placed on the Colorado River about September 1 next, to run be- tween The Needles and El Dorado Canyon, 150 miles north, to open up some mining | country that is inaccessible except by way of the river. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has | decided that representations by a vender | of mining stock that the purchaser could | not lose on the investment and that the mine would pay dividends in the near future, being a mere expression of opinion | or a promise of a future condition of things, | will not form a ground of recovery by the | purchaser on the ground of false repre- | sentation. | The Land Department has decided that taluminum is not such a mineral as will except the land containing it from settle ment and entry as agricultural land or warrant the allowance of a mineral entry thereof. In mining mica the mineral is blasted, sorted, split to the correct thickness and then trimmed and packed for the market.

A preliminary meeting has been held at Spokane, Wash., at which it was agreed to form a Northwest Miners’ Association, to | take in miners of Oregon, Washington and ldaho. The encroachment of the railroad corporations on the mineral lands in all the States of the Pacific Northwest, under the pretense that they are more suitable for agricultural purposes, formed the basis for discussion at the meeting. The senti- ment was expressed that prior locations as mineral claims should take precedence over corporation selections under lien land | grants. Other subjects affecting the inter- | ests of miners were also considered. A committee was appointed to arrange for a personal meeting at Spokane in Septem- ber with a view to organizing an associ- ation similar to the California Miners’ As- sociation for mutual protection. This should make a strong organization taking in so large an area as 1t does, and | should make itself felt before the Land | Department and in Congress. In due time all the mining States and Territories will { have to form -one association, or-have closeraffiliation between the different ones, in order that matters affecting the mining industries shall have suitable advocates in | Congress. Ali the States are having the | same trouble that we are here in California. | The longer the railroads can put off the final issue the better they will be off, be- cause they are monthly getting more and | more land to which the miners say they { have no right. In the future they will have more difficnlty in getting this land than has heretofore been the case. Magnesite. While magnesite occurs in several States, it is only mined in California. Several Eastern States have deposits of it and it is abundant in Arizona, but is not utilized. The localities where it occurs in California | are numerous, but it has never been mined except in Alameda and Napa counties. In Santa Clara county thete are several known deposits. the best being too far trom railroad facilities. At Cedar Mountain, Alameda County, there is a deposit which was worked for a time in 1886, There are heavy beds in Mariposa County and there isa large deposit in Fresno County. At Arroyo Seco, Monterey County, a vein two feet wide has been found and it has also been discovered at Mansfield. About fifty miles southeast of Visalia, Tulare County, isa large deposit, near Mineral King dis- trict; also, near Visalia, below Four Creeks, and on the gouth side of Tule River, ten miles from Porterville. In Placer County magnesite occurs in large quantities at Gold Run, Towa Hill and Damascus. Tt has been discovered at Port Harford, S8an Luis Obispo County, and near Los Alamos, Santa Barbara County. It oceurs in several places in Humboldt and Napa counties and in iso- lated instances in San Mateo, Lake, Tuol- umne, Sonoma, Solano, Contra Costa, San Bernardino and Calaveras counties. But in none of these places is the substance mined. The only deposits in the State which have been utilized to any extent on a commercial basis are ten miles from Rutherford, Chiles Valley, Napa County. There, at the Snow Flake mine, the min- eral occurs on & lode four to seven feet inches of water all the year round witha | aws to prevent | The princi- | thick standing out at an angle of 70 de- grees and having regular walls. Most of the deposits found elsewhere occur in beds from ten to one feet wide. The lode con- sists of white carbonate of magnesia, the mineral being broken out in slabs several inches thick and from ten to twenty feetin wicth. The ontput from the mines is em- ployed in the manufacturing and the arts to some extent. The many nses to which it is put at pres- ent are for furnace-linings at the rolling- mills and for paper manufacture. Small lots are used in making artificial stone, paint. etc. Most of the ore is calcined and sold to the Oregon paper-mills. At pres- ent Chicago and Pittsburg get their sup- lies irom European countries. In Pitts- urg und other large manufacturing cen- ters dolomitic limestone is employed in making basic steel. For this stone mag- nesite wonld be substituted if it could be obtained at prices somewhat. lower than now have to be paid for the imported cal- cined article, on which there is a duty of 20 per cent, the raw ore coming in free. There is an abundance of this ore in Cali-¢ fornia, as may be seen from the number of Jocations mentioned, but distance from large manufacturing centers prevents ship- ment from the only mines worked, under present conditions. It takes nearly two t()nsdof raw ore tc make one ton of cal- cined, Deeper Quartz Mining. It is a healthy sign for the future of gold mining of this State that the men now investing in this industry realize the fact that to make a big mine ont of a little one they must go deep. It takes money to sink deep shafts and put up the hoists and pumps to equip them, and it is for this reason we see so large a proportion of shallow mines. But the men now invest- ing, profiting by the experience of others, see that the best way to work a mine is “go to the deen” at once. The larger companies are all doing this, for it is the deeply developed mines which are paying the best profits to their owners. The day has passed when scratching on its surface, or sinking 100-foot shafts, is called quartz mining. Since deeper mining has become the custom more paying mines have resulted than ever before. The mine once opened by a shaft of proper depth many miners can be kept at work and the miils be kept running regularly. The trouble has been in the past, owners want- ed to get out the ore in sight at once and not expend money in advance of its sup- posed necessity. Now, however, a big company, pro‘)erly managed, wants it more thoroughly opened at once, so they can know what they have got on the bot- tom as well as at the top. Then they can count pretty well on what other expenses are warranted. Crarres G. YaLe. Southern California Mining Notes. San Bernardino County is coming rapidly to the front in the mining world, espe- cially in gold mining. New discoveries are being made every day and the richest kind of ore brought to light. If the Super- visors should deem fit to do as they have been petitioned to do, and that is to make a map designating the water-places of the desert, mining on the desert would be greatly facilitated, as prospectors would feel much more secure in going on to the desert in search of the hidden treasures which it is known to have. ; A mive that is at present attracting con- siderable attention is one owned by Judge Otis & Co. There are several ciaims or ledges called the Altura Gola Mill and Mining Company, situated in the Morongo District. This mine is situated about three miles from the celebrated Rose mine. Some rich ore has been taken from the mine which assays between $150 and $200 to the ton. The mill site is so located that the ore can be shot right into the mill, thus doing away with any hoisting vrocess. Work will be commenced on milling the ore about October 1. Another group of rich mines is nbout 160 miles to the southeast of San Bernardino, being just over the line in San Diego County, and is the property of L. C. More- land of San Bernardino. There are three claims, the Black Bird, Bonanza and Ana- conda, besides about 420 acres of placer ground, all situated about six miles north of the Southern Pacific Railroad. 8o far as worked the Black Bird and Anaconda show $6 and §7 rock, while the Bonanza sho $25 rock. The ledge is seventy-six feet in width, while the Black Bird is 100 feet wide and the Anaconda 125 feet. A large force is employed in the mines. McHaney Brothers’ mine, the Desert Queen, is a bank in itself for its owners, it being estimated that the five-stamp mill now in operation is turning out an average of $100 per hour, and ore enough on the dump to run the mill for a month. Advice comes from Calico that the borax mines are echpsing evetything in the way of mines on the desert. It is said on good authority that the mine is paying 10 per cent clear. ‘While there are quite a number of mines in Kern and Riverside counties they seem to be in a belt around the San Bernardino County line. Consequently San Bernar- dino City derives more benefit than the counties in which the mines are actually located. L. C. Moreland, who has quite a number | of rich claims about 150 miles southeast of San Bernardino, has got from 50 to 100 men at work, the men making ail the way from §1 to $9 per day. The mines are in the same belt as the famous Gold Cross mine. It is the intention of Mr. Moreland and other owners in that section to de- velop water for mining purposes by run- ning a pipe line from the Colorado River, a distance of twenty miles. Up to the present time the manner of working the ore has been by beating up the rock with heavy sticks. C. A. Burcham’s big find in Kern County, about eighteen miles from Goler, is said to be the richest strike in that sec- tion. When down about fifteen feet on a ledge, which was followed and shows for a quarter of a mile, ore was taken out, which went $180 in gold and $3 16 in silver. The mine is named the *“Olympus” and is situated in the Summit muning distriet. ‘Water has to be hauled eight miles, but as alkali spots are quite numerous in the vicinity of the. mine wells will be bored. At present the dry-washer is being used and about $1 per hour to the man is taken out, there being three men at work, but they can only work a few hours a day on account of the excessive heat. Miners at work in the big shaft at Goler, when down to the depth of 300 feet, struck water. At first it oozed out in small streams, but after excavating a few feet the water rushed in much faster than it could be bailed out, consequently the men had to stop work. It is thought a big subterra- nean stream has been struck and pumps will be put down to bring the water up for sluicing purposes. The ore that is being taken from the Rose mine runs about $250 to the ton— high-grade ore. The parties from Los Angeles who bought a half interest in the Eagle Cliff mine, in Pinone District, have sent a large load of supplies and eight or ten men to work on the mine. The claim shows an abundance of free gold dre. The Dome mine, which is located about seven miles south of the McHaney mine, Desert Queen, is showing up in fine shape, as ore is being taken out which runs as high as ?500 per ton in gold. %he olcomb Valley mines are coming to the front. Messrs. Archie Cowan and Phil Meyers have left for the mines in that section to put up a Kendall mill, which has been in use at the famous Rose mine. It has a capacity of ten tons per day and will be started up in about two weeks. On the dumps at present there is 400 tons of $15 rock. _As soon as this ore is cleaned up work will be commenced on the $50 ore, which is now being taken from the mine. Up to date over $12,000 has been expended in developing the mine, but it is expected to get back thegreater portion on the first clean-up. A large force of men are at work on the Morongo King mine, putting up the new ten-stamp mifi. The owners of the new mine, Mexa Do- lora, situated a short distance from the Desert Queen, are loading uv with sup- lies, so as to push work right ahead on {he new find. HuserT.

There is considerable activity in mining on Moccasin Creek, Tuolumne County. The Wheeler-Hill Company has ordered the construction of a stamp mill and has completed a good road from the mine to the mill site on the creek. The Grant gold mine people are steadily at work opening up their property located on the mother lode, Two shafts have been sunk to a depth of 50 feet each and two tunnels have been driven, one 80 feetand the other 110 feet. They are now drifting north and south on the ledge, which is about 25 feet wide at that point, and are reported to be taking out ore assaying $50 to $500 per ton. The Grant Company will probably erect a mill in the near future. The Criss-Cross mine recently took nearly $1000 out of a shaft only 30 feet deep, and several companies have been organized to develop claimsin the vicinity.
