It might be thought from mnewspaper reports that Southern California ~gold mines were showing up the highest “assay values” in these days, but now comes a mine on Wagner Creek, Oregon, where quartz samples assay $350,000 to the ton. This beats any of the desert mines— tor the present. Ittakes a mill to stamp out such nonsense. Southern Oregon is attracting great men than ever are to be founa there.

There is said to be an extensive deposit of magnesite on Pitt River, near Flat Creek, Shasta County, but it has not been | developed or utilized. The country in the vicinity of Trinity Center, Trinity County, is filled with pros- pectors. The Pheenix (Ariz.) Gazette says that the Union mine will resume work in two weeks and that a fifty-ton cyanide plant is being built.

Pos- | >im;\;)half the amount may be nearer the truth. . The lower portion of the Klamath River | in Siskiyou, Humboldt and Del Norte | counties isrich in river, bank and guich | mines, but a good deal of the region is des- titute of water, except what is in the river. Extensive ditches will have to be i built to develop many of the claims, and for this reason comparatively little has been done. _The Trevaskis mine on Red Hill, near lA\e‘flxdu City, has been sold to English nnld work will be commenced on the prop- erty. The Nevada Transcript predicts that in another year from 500 to 1000 more men will beemployed in the minesof that vicinity than at present. It bases the pre- diction on the fact that many mines have been bonded whicih will be ‘sold to men able to develop and equip them. French capitalists are buying a number of mines near Callahan’s ang the south fork of Scott River, Siskiyou County. The largest ledge in the new Murphy Creek district, B. C., has been named *‘Coin’s Financial School.” Opening and working a new claim in a new district is generally a pretty gooa school of experi- ence, if nothing else, and coin often hasa #ood deal to do with it.

All little personal differences should be forzotten and work done to the common end-—benefit to the mineral industry of California. The leasing system is proving the salva- tion of the Cripple Creek district, Colo., as it is in other places. Lessees are more often practical miners than are the mem- bers of mining companies. Whenever a lot of mine leasers make a ood thing out of a company and their ease expires,then the company declines to renew it, but the company seldom makes | as much as the lessees did. entering on a season of prosperity due to | the activity of mining operations. New | buildings are being erected and the in- crease of population is noticeable upon every hand. | Those who have assessment work to do | on their claims should start on it now and not wait until the snows come. Officers of the Miners’ Association. It is pretty certain that J. H. Neff, president of the California Miners’ Asso- ciation, and William C. Ralston, the sec- retary, will decline renominations to their respective positions at the forthcoming The same is true concerning convention. other members of the executive committee, | who have done hard work for the past three or four years. active members of some of the most im- porta committees. It is a matter of great importance that the vacancies should | be filled by the right kind of men. Thus | far, in the four or five years of the exist- ance of the association, the work has been done by unselfish men who have had no personal end to serve. They have simply worked, to their best judgment, for the advantage of the Gulitons. iaine and the mneral industry of the State. (It must be confessed that there has been a certain lack of appreciation | the part of those most benefited. Some members of the executive committee have been subjected to unpleasant criticism in the newspapers and their motives have been questioned. They prefer to retire and let others take the responsibility, and they will do so when the convention meets and their terms of office expire by limita- tion. It will be very difficult indeed to fill the presidential chair as it has been filled. Mr. Neff 15 a practical mining man, fair- minded and honest in ev way; re- spected highly by even thos: is opposed in th is an ideal secret connection. Mr. Ralston ary, active, energetic, in- | telligent and segressive. He has given great attention and time to the duties of convention a standing it could not other- wise have obtained. Thousands of min- ers remember his honored father—who |did more for California than any | other man—and believe what is true, that he is heart and soul with the California mines and laboring for the min- ing industry of the State in an unselfish spiri’. These men and otners have made t alifornia Miners’ Association what it {is. When they drop from leadership into | the ranks it is a question who will take their places. There are many who covet the position on the executive committee. | It remains for the delegates to the conven tion to select the proper ones. If mistakes { are made and men are chosen who have affiliations even the most remote with those who have interests opposed to the | miners of the State, then the good work of | the California Miners’ Association is at an | end and its influence will disappear. Agricultural Patents and Minerals. The question of mineral lands on rail- road grants is not the only one which | troubles the miner of California. There is also a conflict between agricultural and mineral development. All over the State there is more or less ground containing mineral elements. It has been patented legally, that is, without nrotest having been made, and has thus passed from the mineral domain. After the early days of | surface mining and before’ we knew very | well how to make quartz mining pay, | many persons_believed that the day of | profitable mining had passed, and large | tracts were practically abandoned by the miners. These were pre-empted as agri- cultural lands and finally patented. Un- less some miner had a direct interest in a mining claim no protest was made against the agricultural patent, even though in many cases people knew of the existence of mineral upon the tracts. It was not worth while to make a ‘“‘general principle” | protest in those days, such as the iners’ Association is now doing in | the csse of the railroads. The result is | that in all of the counties lands nowjex- ceedingly valuable for mineral are held under Government title by agricaltural owners. On such lands miners may not to the ‘‘rancher.” Prospectors find this | tions m the gold belt of the State to-day. On such land 1t is the farmer, not the Gov- ernment, who can give the right to pros- pect or to mine. Of course this state of affairs is bevond remedy, and the agricul- turist reaps the benefit.” The land intended for the miner has passed beyond any claim he can put upon it into the hands of oth- ers for whom it was never intended. The Miners’ Convention. It is not necessary to be a delegate at the State Miners’ Convention. which meets in this City next month, to be welcome. Any miner, or one interested in mining, who has any ideas to advance in the direction of the welfare of the mining industry of this State will doubtless receive respectful attention. There is no ‘‘close corporation” in the association in any way, and any man who can belp the miners’ cause they | will be glad to see and to listen to. The best advice and co-operation will be heart- ily received. If anybody hasa grievance, or is left out of a delegation through what he considers unfair measures, let him by all means come to the front at the conven- tion. If his cause is just he will be listened to. There musf be no ‘‘packing” of delegations ~at this convention. Those who come must come in the interest of the miners and the mining in- attention just at présent and more mining | The towns of Tuolumne County are all | dustry. Any false pretenses will soon be found out. There are all sorts of rumors about the delegations being selected for this or that purpose, but those who come under what may be suspicious circum- stances will find themselves on the worry box. The convention will be for miners and the mining industry. Those who have interests at stake, even though they may not be selected as delegates, should come to the City on October 14 and help in every way to make the conventiona success and prevent enemies of the mining industry from accomplishing their ends. One Big Producing Mine. Angels, Calaveras County, has just had an experience in which there is a moral for other mining camps or towns. The Utica mine, the biggest gold producer in the camp—and in Catifornia, and once in the United States and in the world—had a dis- astrous fire which caused a shut-down while the mine was flooded with water and then pumped out again. For weeks no ore was taken out and no ore was milled. The mine was the big one of the place, but many people could not see that it was any benelit to them or the town. TFor the past three years, during a financial depression all over the country, Angels was lively and prosperous, but few could see it was due to the presence of a large and prosperous mine. - But the enforced idleness of this ~property even for a short time _ brought -~ hard times to the usually prosperous camp because the usual fill" e payroll was cut off. 'The miners now see Smt the presence of a mine of this character is a more important factor in their prosperity than they had imagined. The resumption of work was hailed with delight and brass bands. The good accru- ing to the town from the Utica Company’s presence is now recognized. The fact is that the presence of one very large pro- ducing mine in active operation is of more importance to the average mining town than a dozen or more small companies which are trying to prove they have a mine. The lesson is a good one for miners in other places to learn and remember. The Miners and the Railroad. The comurittee on protection of mineral lands of the California Miners’ Association bas formulated its reply to the proposi- tions of MF. Mills of the Southern Pacific | Company, and it has been published in Tue Carn. This letter merits the careful attention of all the miners in the State. Moreover, it must be remembered that upon them devolves the responsibility and expense of carrying on this contest with the railroad companies. If the mineral lands are to be preserved for the miners the preservation rests with the miners themselves. If they are apathetic, cereless or economical, and the lands pass from the mineral domain to corporations' hands, they are themselves toblame. The Miners’ Association and its special committee with this matter in charge have, without fee or reward of any kind to any individual, attempted to pre- vent the alienation of the mineral lands, ana are still engaged in that work. But to succeed they must have the support of the miners themselves. Without this they can accomplish nothing. If there is a failure, it rests with the mining com- munity of the State.. The railroads are Among them arem on | to whom he | prospect or claim any mineral.

But the { ners, and not the association committee, will have to be responsible for fai The committee can bave no power to enforce compliance with its views unless the miners back them up. 1f the men whoare directly interested fail to actively interest themselves and support their committee, | then they will probahly see a gradual ab- sorption of the mineral domain by the rail- road corporations. Pumping for Hydraulicking. Some people in Juneau, Alaska, and | some in’ this City are trying to make ar- | rangements to bring pumps, etc., into the | Yukon River country to work high bars | along the river. Miners know of large bars |1ying above the high-water mark the gravel on which is rich, but the ordinary wheels, ete., have not sufficed to work them. It is thought steam pumps will solve the auestion, but the machinery must be transported to the headwaters of the river. If they take a_leaf from Cali- fornia’s book they may imitate the Espey & Hunter Company on Shasta River. There they are raising from 155 to 160 inches of water to the top of a hill 500 feet high. This water, dumped into a reser- voir at the head of the flume, keeps a steady stream of water flowing to the dig- ings north of Hawkinsville, operating a giant with two-inch nozzle, the water | goinz back into Shasta River by way of Yreka Creek. The water is pumped by | steam. The success of the enterprise should induce similar works of the same character in other places to develop rich | mining fields destitute of water privlleges, | except by pumping to a high elevation. By pumping the water can be delivered in ashort distance. If the Yukon high bars are as rich as reported the experience in Siskiyou County, California, furnishes a precedent of value. CRARLES G.
