Mining at Colville, Stevens County, Washington, 1s more active than 1t has been for the past six years. Prospectors in the Yukon country, Alaska, the region will be found to be rich in coal as well as in gold. A number of miners are working the pars on the Illinois River, Josephine County, Oregon. g Soldier Creek, Josephine County, Oregon, is said to bave many very good quartz prospects. s 2 The latest curiosity in Southern Califor- nia gold mines is one in the heart of the desert, thirty-five miles southeast of Salton, where they have water-power for the miil, and have ordered a Bryan roller-mill, to cost $10,000. As Bryan mills do not cost anything like that, and water is supposed 1o be scarce in that region, the story seems a little “‘off.” The Angels Echo says that the Lamprey mine is paying handsomely with the new srocess of working. : There are 2745 stamps at work in the Jitwatersrand district, South Africa. it seems odd for Californians to go away off to Korea to work gold mines when there are so many here at home which only need capital to be made profitable. Yet Californians are going into partner- ship with the King of Korea to work the Khusan gold fields in tuat country. Como, Bilver Star, Silver Peak and some other goid camps of Nevada have had in- vestments of capital of late, but there are ceveral other districts which need develop- ment and which present good openings for investment. Returning miners from the Yukon River, Alaska, may be expected from this time on. Nothing very startling in the way of new discoveries has happened up there this season. The Ashland mine, Oregon, has had {wenty-three tons of ord worked by the by Smelting Company, which netted $133 per ton. This has renewed confidence in the property and work has been actively commenced. S Kerby, Or., wants some experienced gravel-miners with capital to work its old channels in a systematic manner. Ener- getic, active men are wanted. : Charles Law, who has been inspecting the Cariboo country, British Columbia, and it is probable that its | . Lowden has taken | y, but the | the way of developing | Cottonwood Creek, Utah. They | Mines & Mining NFORMATION CONCERNING THIS IMPORTANT INDUSTRY,) says there is a large field yet unprospected. The country stretching between Quesnelle and Kixon Creek is auriferous, and the land north of the bend of the Fraser River has never been carefully examined. A practical California_miner is tobe placed in charge of a drift mine near the mouth of the Quesnelle River, British Co- lumbia, where there is an extensive chan- nel. Work will be commenced next month, and the owners expect to expend $50,000 in opening the property. A new gold discovery has been made near Stetekin, Wash., on the north fork of Company Creek. The ore isfree milling but low grade, and the ledges large. The new camp isseven miles from Lake Chelan, and is known as McDonald’s camK. The mining recorders in the Kootenay district are required by the Canadian ‘ Minister of Mines to £l11 out blanks giving elaborate details of all new claims recorded. | Mining development in the Kootenay | country, B. C., is being done on a large “sculeA In the main districts, the Slocan, that around Nelson near the Trail River | Rossland country, there are many well- developed promising mines that have passed the ‘“‘prospect” stage. The Nall mine wiil soon have a smelter to work 100 tons a day, and has 7000 tons of ore ready | for it. With the smelter in operation, | other gold producing claims will be able to | get their ore treated at home. | The mines at DeeF Creek, twenty-five | miles north of Colville, Wash., are showing | some very encouraging deposits of copper ore. | Capitalists are examining the group of copper claims twelve miles north of Aztec, | Ariz., and if everything is satisfactory | they will take a $200,000 working bond upon | them. The mines are good,but are at | some distance from water. | The closing down of the Poorman mine at Burke, Idaho, threw 125 men out of work; but it is hoped there will be a re- | sumption under the management of the | Consolidated Tiger and Poorman. Neces- | sary changes in machinery, etc., incident | to operating both mines under one man- | agement may, however, keep both mines | closed until next spring. The Frisco mine at Gem, Canyon Creek, llmfl'o' is spending $250,000 in new ma- chinery and buildings, and will not be ready to start new plant for two months. | . The Iatest “lost mine’’ to be found again |is on the north fork of Company Creek, | seven miles from Lake Chelan, Wash. There is the usual Jegend about the miners | being killed by Indians, etc., but now the | claim has been found and acamp estab- lished. The Mineral Hill copper mine, Ariz., is delivering fifty tons of ore a week to its | smelter. There are forty-five people in the | camp and the leads are being developed into profitable properties. The United Verde Copper Company, | Ariz., has 550 men on the payroll, and as the works are being developed it is expected | that 700 men will be employed ina short | time. People with dry-washer machines are | trying the sands at Silver Creek, San Fran- | cisco district, Arizona. | _There are more chloriders at work in | Wallapai district, Ariz., than atany time { within the past three years, and most of } them are said to be making money. The Kingman Miner says that Rob- |ert Patterson is trying the experiment of working a dry concentrator in Gold | Basin that if successful will be a boon to , the whole region. The Tacoma melter is receiving large | amounts of concentrates from the Alaska quartz mines. The Nevada Reduction Company has been organized at Elko to buy and sell mines, reduce ores,etc. The capital stock | is $30,000, and the directors are Wiiliam { Willis, John B. Fitzgerald, W. T. Smith, | T. A. McBride and M. H. Miller. { The mill at Silver Lake, Nev., has just been cleaned up for the first time, and a | $13,000 bar of bullion shipped as the result. | The payroll for the mines at Wardner, Ceeur d’Alene, Idaho, for October, is ex- pected to reach $45,000. Bonanza, Curtis County, Idaho, is not now the dead camp it has been for some ! years. The Custer Company has resumed operations on its Lucky Boy with sixty | men, and a new ten-dump mill is to be built by Myron Crafts. Some good gold finds are reported in | the vicinity of Osceola, Nev. |~ The American Mining Exchange of Bos- | ton, Mass., is advertising in_the Colorado papers that it wants mines for cash pur- k. | chasers, and agrees to furnish money to ¥ | develop prospects. Some rich gold ore has been found on nyon Creek in Slate Creek district, ash. yon Creek is a branch of Ruby | Creek, which empties into Skagit River. The vein is thirty inches wide. he mines are some ninety miles from a railroad, | and there are as yet no facilities for work- | ing the ore. The Star group of claims near Silver | City, Idaho, is to be operated by Salt Lake | men under the management of O. H. | Hardy, and shipments of ore will be made | to the Omaha and valley smelters. | At American Fork Canyon district, Utah, | only a few of the mines are being operated, and these will close when the heavy snows | come. Those mines which are being worked are domng well. The mines at Deep Creek, Utah, are under a disadvantage from lack of water, and a ten-mile pipe line with pumping station is being considered. The mines in the Blue Mountains, San Juan and Grand counties, Utah, are doing well. These mountains are noted for the richness of the float picked up by prospec- | tors, but the number of rich mines discov- | ered is few. | At the Yosemite mine, Bingham, Utah, | the long tunnel is sending out plenty of good ore. * The Moso mining district has been or- ganized in Little Salt Creek Canyon, eight miles from Juab, Utah. Thirty-five claims have been located by the fifty-five men in the camp. Colonel M. Shaughnessy has bonded the Maytlower and Laches Drum group, in | Woodside Canyon, near the Silver King, Park City, Utah, and commences work on October 1. A new leading plant is being put up in Hardesville Canyon, Morgan County, Utah, to work the ores of the Morgan | Company._ The old Idaho camp at Gibbonsville, first worked in 1867 for placers, is taking on new life as & quartz claim. A wagon- road has been built from Salmon City, forty miles. A number of mines are now being worked, ana there is a thirly-stamp mill working ores from the mines of the American Development Comvpany. The “Cyanide Company” also has a ten-stamp miil. Some placers are being worked as well as the quartz mines. A correspondent writes that Austin Burcham has struck a big thing in his mines at Goler, Kern County. Several assays have been made and the rock runs between $100 and $200 per ton. Some of the assays were as high as $1400. Mr. Burcham is building a road to his mine so as to more readily transport the ore. He has taken out a carload of rich rock ready to sack and ship to San Francisco. Electrical Processes for Ores. If there is any one thing more attractive than another to mining men itis an elec- trical process for treating ores, It is also one of the things they know least about. Possibly some such process may be in- vented which will eventually stand a practical test in the mining regions in charge of practical millmen, but thus far most of these things are such as are ‘going to do something’’ when other pedple put up $50,000 or 80 to test them. Bcarcely a THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1895. year passes that half a dozen electrical processes for treating ore are not invented. One of these machines has been working for a time on the tailings of a big m.1l at Park City, Utab, and large quantities of uicksilver, etc., were to be saved, although the tailings show only a value of §2 per ton. The machine is said to have saved two pounds of quicksilver and nothing else in two and a balf days’ run, which does not seem reasonable, especially as the mill is said to lose a little less than two pounds of uicksilver to each ton of ore worked. The Ttah papers say that in connection with this work the electric current was turned off one entire night without the knowl- edge of the inventor, but the plates seemed to work as well ‘without as with the elec- tricity, which is supposed to be the means of saving the metal. The saving seemed to be as heavy withoutas with the current. This may be an exaggeration, but the fact remains that the electrical machine made no marked success. To orcinary mortals with no technical knowledge of electricity or electrical appliances the mere connec- tion of the current with a piece of machin- ery is supposed to exercise some benefi- cial but occult influence. And balf the time the men who undertake to work such machines know little more than those who are expected to buy them. CHARLES G. YALE. MR, MILLS GAINS TIME. His Response to the Agreement Submitted by the ¢ Miners. W. H. Mills, land agent of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, yesterday sent the following communication to the Cali- fornia Miners’ Association: A. H. Ricketts Esq., Chairman Mineral Lands Committee, California State Miners’ Association— MY DEAR SiR: I have just returned to the office after an absence of eight days, and in the accumulated mail open yours of September 17. In the opening of the communication you say that your committee has unanimously ac- cepted the proposition conteined in the letter of mine dated August 20, and addressed to John M. Wright Esq., provided 1t be modified by the incorporation of provisions which are fully set im’[g. 1 have not read these pro- visions as presented in your communication bevond the first paragraph, in which I find & definition of the parties to the agreement. In the first instance you say that upon one part the party to the pmposed agreement shall be the California Miners’ Association, and you further advise that “the said association acts in the premises by this its committee for the protection of mineral lands.” On the other part, you declare that the parties shall be sey- eral railroad companies, which you enumerate as follows: The Southern Pacific Company, the Central Pacific Railroad, Company, the Western Pacific Railroad Company, the South- ern Pacific Railroad Company and the Califor- niaand Oregon Railroad Company. I beg respectfully to call your attention to the fact that I do not represent the Southern Pacific Company, the Western Pacific Railroad Company nor the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The Southern Pacific Company has no land agent that 1 am aware of, and does not come within the category of ‘“railroad compa- nies owning or controlling what are knowu as Congressional grants of land situated within the State of California.” The Western Pacific Railroad Company has never been represented in this department The lands granted to that corporation did not become the property of the Central Pacific Railroad Company by the consolidation of the companies. The naked legal title to the land has remained_in the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and certain pro forma duties have been discharged relating to it: but the admin- istration of the landed interests of the Western Pacific Railroad Company has remained in the original incorporators of thatcorporation and their successors. I sustain no official relation with the landed interests of that corporation and am not authorized to speak on its behalf. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company is very ably represented by its land agent, Mr. Jerome Madden. I have no official relation whatever with that corporation. From tf pu will perceive that the Central Pacific Raiiroad Company, and the California and Oregon Railroad Company, to which the Central Pacific Railroad COmpany is successor by consolidation, are the only’ corporations whose landed interests are represented by my- self. Isuppose it is well understood, as in fact it should have been, that in the inception of these megotiations, the Central Pacific Rail: rond Company, which, by reason of its con- solidation includes the Caiifornia and Oregon Railroad Company, was the only corporation contemplated me. The presentation of these tacts will make the amendment to your definition of the parties so obvious that no further amplification will be necessary. I eanuot proceed with a negotia- tion upon the theory that parties I do mnot represent are bound by it, nor ao I'believe this would be expected at my hands. In returning your communication for amend- ment in respect of the matters herein pre- sented, I beg to call your attention to the fact that my former cominunication remained un- answered for twenty-seven days, to wit, from the 20th of August, the date of my communi. cation, to the 17th of September, the date of vyour communication. I will esteem it & very great favor if the indispensable amendment suggested in this communication can have im- mediate consideration at your hands. Yours very truly, W. H. Mrus, Land Agent Central Pacific Railroad Company. The answer of the mineral lands com- mittee to this is prompt and to the point. It met during the afternoon in Chairman Ricketts’ office, and sent back its formn- lated agreement to Mr. Mills, with a letter telling him to make whatever amend- ments he thinks proper. Following is the answer the committee made without any loss of time: W. H. Mills Esq., Land Agent C. P. R. R. Co., San Francisco—DEAR SIR: Your letter under date of 24th inst., addressed to this committee, has been received and duly considered by the committee. If you will kindly take the trouble to re-read the letter addressed to you by this committee under date of 17th ini ou will therein rediscover the reasons which caused the necessary delay in the answer made by this committee to your communication under date of the 20th ult.; and your attention is now called to the fact that Houn. Jacob H. Neft, president of the California Miners’ Association, acting with this committee, returned to the State of California, after a long absence, on the 16th dey of September, 1895, and that the said answer of this committee was transmitted to you on the 17th day of September, 1895. This committee hias the honor to return to you its communication under date of Septem- ber 17, 1895, with the suggestion to youn that if you desire to suggest amendments to the proposition contained therein, any amend- ments so suggested by sou will be promptly considered and acted upon by this committee. In this connection, this committee assures you that you will not be asked or -expected to- set for any railroad company which you do not in fact represent. Inasmuch as you are anxious to expedite these negotiations, this commmittee assures vou that the readiest means of accomplishing that result will be to put in all your amend- ments at one and the same time. ‘Yours, very truly, A. H. RICKETTS, Chairman of the California Miners’ Associa- tion’s committee for the protection of min- eral lands. “The logician is bound to win ultimate- ly,” remarked a member of the committee. Mr. Mills cannot now avoid committing himself to some definite course of action.” ———————— His Last Summer Excursion. The big tug Fearless will make her last ex- cursion for the summer season, under the man- agement of Al Palmer of the Tivoli Opera- house. She will leave Folsom-street wharf at 10 A.

The host promises that the toothsome Spenish beans shall not run short, as heretofore, if he has to corner the market. . The American Railway Union. At & meeting of the American Railway Union No. 345 last evening, & resolution was passed thanking President Sutro and Superintendent Van Frank of the Sutro Railway Company for giving Harry Knox, the leader of the recent railroad strike, & position en their road.

Stanton Wanted the Railroad Offi- cials to Be Hauled Up and Punished for Contempt. The Railroad Commission met yesterday afternoon and heard read to them by the secretary the protest of the Southern Pa- cific Railroad Company against their re- cently adopted resolution reducing the freight rates of that company, which com- munication has been published. La Rue objected to placing the commu- nication on the records, declaring that it started out by making statements that are not true, and, therefore, not entitled to that consideration which a truthful and plain statement of the facts would be. “It says,” he said, “I am one of the largest land-owners and shivpers in the State. I have an interest in some 2000 acres of land and I own individually 120 acres. Com- pared to the holdings of the really large land-owners this is a bagatelle. It istrue I have tried to make my lands as produc- tive as possible, and for many, years they have had uninterrupted benefit of what I have shipped from it. “I am certainly as well qualified to do justice to the people and to the railroad company in the matter of fixing rates as are the high saiaried officials of the rail- road company, delegated by that company to perform that service, Iam in favor of returning the communication to the com- pany. “l)'look upon that communication asan insult to the members of this board. They came to us asking for fairand impartial treatment. That we have given them. They have had every opportunity to pre- sent their case; we have listened to them patiently and they have failed miserabl to sustaln their right to exact their higl rates, and so we have made a fair and im- partial reduction. “As to tbe pledge which, it is claimed, prevented us from fulfilling our oath of office, I have to say that I took the pledge subject to the requirements of the oath of office. Isaid atthe time that if I found the pledge interfered with the requirements of that oath upon hearing the evidence I would retire from the board. It did not do so. The reduction is according to the evidence. I consider this letter an act of intimidation and a threat. I do not see the necessity of returning it to the com- pany—simply ignore it.” “The order of the board will be to deny consideration of the letter,” said Chair- man La Rue, “I think we should bring the author and those responsible for it before us and punish them for contempt,” said Stanton. This was not seconded. A number of communications were read, among them the following: . o the Homorable Board of Railroad Commis- sioners for the Stateof California, San Francisco— GENTLEMEN: We the undersigned, partially representing the cattle and livestock industries of this portion of the State, Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties, beg to draw your atten- tion to the ex g freight rates on livestock on the Coast Division of the Southern Pacific Railroad Compeny, more particularly referring to rates from stitions between Soledad, San Luis Obispo and San Franciseo, in comparison 10 rates charged from _similarly distant points in San Joaquin Valley.

General_Freight Agent Smurr of the Southern Pacific made a lengthy reply re- garding John Northrup’s letter regarding green fruit rates from Wallace to San Fran- cisco, via Lodi, in which be claims that the rate is 40 cents a car less tban North- rup stated was agreeable. This was on carload lots, however, and Northrup’s pe- tition was in behalf of smaller shipments. Another letter touching the point was received from Northrup as follows: Mr. La Rue—DEAR SIR: I received a visit from E. H. Prentice, district freight agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, yesterday. We discussed the rates on green fruit. He con- ceaed that, in his judement, we were entitled to $2 reduction, and said he 'would so state to the company. He also read tome the answer to my letter he hassentto you. Now, the statement he makes that the company. fur- nish a special car at Wallace or at Lodi to ac- commodate us alone is not true. They have a way car always attached to their train, as you well know. Of course, you xnow their ways as well as1 do. He tried (o get me to consent that at least two-ton lots should be shipped each time, which I would not agree to. 1 ga.ve writ- ten to him to¥lay & letter saying that all the fruit-growers of this locality wfll be satisfied with the rate reduced from %640 to $4 40. The fares on the road need lmk.ing after, also. If youshouid deem it necessary, I can appear before the board any time on short notice. Yours, ete., JOHN NORTHRUP. P. 8.—I could see they were very much con- cerned about my writing to youri’mu:ad of to them, &sking have rates reduced. They lhflughl it was not showing due respect, all of which mede me feel very sad. J.N. The reading of the letter created some amusement. 2 A communication from citizens of Clov- erdale was read commending the action of the board in reducing the freight rates, and hoping they would continue to in- vestigate the discrimination in rates throughout the State. The sectetary was instructed to arrange these communications on the file, and tggv will be considered in detail and in order. The board will hold an executive session on Wednesday afternoon next to consider another cut in special rates. MUST RETURN TO CHINA. Judge Morrow Passes On the Cases of the Chinamen Lee Yee and Moh Shue. A Chinese who tried to pass himself off as Lee Yee must go back to China. His real name is unknown. A short time ago he came down from Alaska with Lee Yee’s certificate of registration, The certificate was a misfit, though. The unterfeit Lee Yee was shorter ti-n the original and had a smooth skin, while the man who got the certificate was badl pockmarked ; and while the certificate nig that Lee Yee was an operator on sewing maghines, the prisoner protested that he ll;'-dl i;zevex- worked a sewing machine in is life. {222 11232 Trave 1| Tula e o S = Commissioner Heacock decided against | Lee Yee, who made no contest before Judge Morrow, and was ordered deported. Moh Shue was also remanded itto custo- -dy-to await an'examination before Commis- sioner Heacock. He was released from Folsom prison a few days ago only to be taken into charge by a United States Dep- uty Marshal as a subject for deportation. Moh Bhue is a very intelligent man who has been in this State forty years. He has spent twenty-five years of this time serv- ing terms in various prisons. TIN CAN INDUSTRY. Plant to Be Established in San Fran- cisco With Capacity of Ono Mii- lion Cans Per Week. A new plant, with capacity of making one million tin cans per week, will soon be established in 8gn Francisco. Lastyear California used fofty-two million cans, and the demand' will increase in the future. The new plant will be equipped with machinery of resent invention, which greatly simplifies the process of converting the tin plates into cans, and materially diminishes the costof the factory products. The invention is a remarkable triumph of mechanical skill and inventive genius, and what it may accomplish in the way of gmmoting the industrial advancement of alifornia can hardly be estimated now. Many practical men of wide experience and conservative judgment express the belief that it will mark a_revolution in the canning industry of the United States and Europe. Briefly stated, the machine takes the tin- plate and delivers the completed can, fitted, headed at the top and bottom, and soldered throughout, without the touch of the human hand. Time and money have been employed to bring the machine to practieal perfection. Until patents were duly obtained and every possible step taken under the law to secure the rights of the inventor and his associates against infringement, profound secrecy was maintained. Since the proper records bave been made in the Patent Office leading capitalists have been allowed to ob- serve the process. Within a few days arti- cles incorporating the new company, with capital of $300,000, will be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. The leading promoters of the enterprise are the inventor, Mr. Johnson, Charles Josselyn and E. F. Preston. HALE & NORCROSS APPEAL The Respondents Will Try To- Day to Stultify the Stay Bond. Additlonal Damages for Frivolous Appeal Also to Be De- manded. An effort will be made in the Supreme Court to-day to stulify the “‘stay bond” in the celebrated case of M. W. Fox vs. the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Company. W. T, Baggett will be on hand when court convenes, prepared with eyidence calculated to prove that the sureties on the aforesaid bond—W. J. Dingee of Oakland and W. 8. Hobart, son of one of the de- fendants in the case—are not qualified to serve on the bond, by reason of the fact that they are notworth the amount of money requisite, and to the possession of which they took oath. The second appeal is taken on the ground that the original judgment of $210,000 and interest, aggregating about $260,000, was not intended to be paid until the court had passed on the other count of damages, approximating $789,000, awarded by the lower court for the “imperfect and frandulent milling.”’ When that appeal was taken after the execution had been filed in the first judg- ment of $210,000 and interest, con- firmed by the Supreme Court, the de- fendant company had to file the stay bond in twice the sum of the judgment, $520,000. That means that each surety qualified in the sum of $520,000. Attorney Baggett said yesterday afternoon that he was pre- pnrex to prove that Dingee *‘is not worth 500 cents.’”” He used the expression by way of illustration merely, though he ex- pects to show that Mr. Dingee’s assets are | several miles and mills distant from the $500,000 mark. : The court gave ndtice that the hearing on the $789,000 branch of the case would be had on the 21st of October. Forty days are allowed in which to perfect the appeal, and on the forty-first day Mr. Baggett says he will be on band and ask that the matter be immediately called and that additional damages be awarded (as allowed b{ law) for frivelous appeal. He will ask that 25 r cent be added to the original judgment. }fis discretionary with the court in such cases to award damages varying from 5 to 50 per cent. 1f the demand is acceded it will tack $60,000 more onto the e’udgment against the Hale & Norcross Company. The plaintiff and respondent ciaims that the appeal is merely a subterfuge to put off the paying of the $260,000 and that the court had no jdea in_its confirmation of the lower court of deferring the payment on the first count until the second had been settled.
