NEWS FROM THE MINES. The Jubilee Fair Will Proclaim the State’s Mineral Greatness. Glances at the New Life Given to Shasta and Fresno Counties. The first active and efficient advertising of the gold resources of California since the be- glaning of the revival will be that afforded by the great Golden Jubiiee and the fair to bs started at about the same time, January 24 next. So far the growtn and prosperity of the min- ing industry in this State that have marked the Past two or three years have owed nothing to any particular effort, public or private, 10 boom the industry, call attention to its possi- bilities at hume or abroad, or to induce men or capital to come this way, as has been o 1ib- erally done in British Columbia, Colorado, Australia and elsewnere, where Government agencies, raiiroads, newspapers, chambers of commerce, etc., have been persistently and cffectively proclaiming the extent, li'e and possibilities of the industry. Advertising is never more effective than when applied toa mineral region—a fact of which there is con- stant evidence. The whole world is seeking gold, and men and money turn to regions about which they easily form favorable im- pressions. Californiais the most inviting and profitable region in the worid, and this is so evident that men may easily be convinced of it. Iis record is so vast and is legitimate production and Drosperity at the present time nre so great that iteannot suffer by being regurded as a *boom’ reglon outof which the bottom may fall. A great denl of Eastern and foreign cayital is now flowing into the State for investmentin miniig, but the amount would be greatly in- creased by a wider knowledse of the une- qualed opportunities to be found here. The Klondike rush of mext spring is the thing whicn has maialy impelled the mining and business men to get up the mining expo- sition which is planned. All authorities agree that the spring Klondike rush will be phe- nomenal. Estimates of the number of people who will soon be moving on Alaska range from 50,000 to 300,000. Espccial efforts are to be made in many ways to draw this travel and the trade accompanying it to Saa Fran- cisco, as the point of outfitting and departure. A very large percentage of it will be secured and without doubt many thousands of gold- seekers will stop in San Francisco nextspring. All will see the Golden Jubilee Fair, which will contain a great display of Yukon mining metnods, outfits and all that may attract the interest of those bound for the Yukon. But in connection with it will be an expo- sition of California mining methods, mining greatness and resources, etc. This wiil teach the Klondikers sometbing about California mining, snd it may teach many that the chances in favor of themseives and their money are on the aversge far greater here than oz the Yukon. Thousands will realize the present mining attractions of California for the first ume. Some will go no further. No matter what riches the Yukon develops it will be the old story of every gold rush the | world has seen—a few will get rich and the mass will get tailure and disappointment. Many of these will decide to try California gold. In many ways, direct and indirect, this great advertisement would become effective. But the effectiveness of this advertisement will depend on whatit is. Tt is the inchoate plan of the managers to make this California display a great and varied one. There will be & great deal to catch the populnr eye. All processes from panning to milling will be shown in operation. There may be some- thing like the '49 mining camp at the Mid- winter Fair. There will be plenty of big mining machinery and as large a display of ores, etc., as it is possible to make. The extent and worth of the California por- tion of the exposition will depend largely on the cc-operation of the mining regions and mining interests throughout tie State and the mining counties have here a great oppor- tunity. The display of Calilornia products at the rooms of the State Board of Traae and the advertising efforts of that institution have been of incalculable value to the agricultural and horticultural interests and the mining interest may be as effectively served in a similar way. The San Francisco Miners’ Association proposes to do for mining what the State Board ot Trade has peen doing in fts field and the Golden Jubilee in which itis the most active force is ¥n evideuce of its inten- tions. There should be & permanentand large display in San Francisco devoted to the mines and minerals of the State and the Golden Jubilee Fair may result in one. The dispiny gathered there might also be a great help toward the proposed California mining display at the Omaha and Paris expositions. All this with en abundance of published in- formation may be made to greatly accelerate the California mining boom, as well ss the gan Francisco Alaskan trade, and it should be taken hold of with a vim throughout the State. Nomining region in the world could get up so great, varied and attractive mining display or do it so easily. A Glance at the Growing Mining Boom in Shasta County. The large region of Northern California, embracing the western portions of Siskiyou and Shasta Counties and the northesn half of Trinity county, is yet & virgin field as far as quariz mining is concerned. It is alive with prospectors, and repcris of finds are con- stant. Even placer mining in the shape of large hydraulic operations is undergoing what may be termed & resurrection. The following communication from Redding gives a general view of the cordition of the industry in Shasta County: REDDING, Nov. 17.—The most remarkable period in the mining history of Shasta County has been the years 1896-97. During this time the Mountain Copper Company, hmited, an English corporation with head offices in London, kas expended in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. This company works frcm 800 to 1000 men at Keswick, six miles from Redding, where the smelters of the corporation are located. The Iron Mountain Railrosd, built by the company, connects mine and smelter, and flourishing towns have sprung up at both terminals. in addition to the roasters, in which the fires never go out, 86,000 tons of ore in one pile was fired the other day. Many men and teams find employment in furmishing siliea or flux ores to the smelters, and numbers of big barren ledges, valueless unil new, are becoming lucrative properties. Pretentiousmines, whose ores are bare and whose owners have not the means to put in plants for themseives, are being made to pay handsomeiy by selling ores to the smelters. All of this activity, due to the operations of the Mountain Copper Com- pany. limited, has greatly benefited Redding, which has improved more in the past two years than it did in the four years preceding. The Mountain Copper Compeny’s mine and plantare on the west side of the Sacramento River, and on the east side, in the territory known as the Old Diggings, & number of big properties are being worked at & profit. The Texas Consolidated, the Central and the Gar- fleld Mammoth mines have cable ropeways across the river by which they can land ores directly on the cars of the Southern Pacific Company. Three large quariz mills in this district are operated by electrical power sup- plied by wire from the Garlich-Paul power station on the opposite side of the river several miles away. The mines in the Old Diggings territory are in a flourisning conditlon. Development work on a large scale is pro- ceeding at Copper City, which at several dif- ferent periods was a famous camp in this county. The ore bodies are abundant, but re- fractory, and failure in the past was due 1o lack of knowledge of the proper methods of treatment. Anotiher such camp is the Fur- naceville properties, on ihe extreme eastern edge of the great bare reef. A smelter has been erccted there and large quantities of | H | 1 coke are now being delivered preparatory to starting up. Another extenive section of the cousty that is showing cousiderable aciivity is the Igo | and Clear Creek districts, southwest and west of Relding. The Muletown and Centerville districts are also nctively in evidence. A new mill has been erected on the Forbes mine in 0:d Diggings, one on the Milkmaid at French Gulch, another by Welch & Monahan, and still another by W. J. Hunt ona free- milling proposition near the Tower House. There was never a tme in this county when more confidence was felt in the future of the ‘mines than now, and the min:ng towss of the county were never in a more flourishing and prosperous conaition. Beginnings of a Great Mining Future in Fresno County. Fresno County serves well to iliustrate the smail amount of mining development yet at- tained in many minerai regions of California This county has promising o1l resources in i eastern part, and the Sierra Nevada range, ssing its western part, is rich in goid-bear- ing veins, which have nardly been pros- pected for, let alone being developed, and it has besides rich iron, copper and other de- posits. In 1896 Fresno was credited with mineral products amounting to only $85,885, of which $28,235 was for gold and $56,760 1or petroleum. But the mining revival has brought to Fresno County & beginning Tor its | development, as is shown in the following special correspondence: FRESNO, Nov. 17.—Mining for gold is being carried on extensively in the Sierra Nevada Mountains si:uated in Fresno County, but it is all on a small scale, there being no big de- velopments of properties invoiving much cap- ital. Placer mining is particularly active, more 80 than it has been for a numberof years past. All along the principal watercourses in the mountains the miner may pe scen with his pan weshing oug the yellow metal, But gold mining in Fresno County has never beon carried below the suriace to any extent, and the quartz wealth has never been explored sufficiently to justify an opinion as to what prospects might be. Capital has never been interested in a satisfectory man- ner. At present there are only one or two small stamp-mills running. When the spring opens 1t is believed tnat there will be great activity in the Dinkey district, where considerable excitement was caused iast summer by the discovery of some fine prospects. Many locations have been filed there. Many fortune-seekers will also invede the country around Mount Goddard, where there are excellent indications. Tieonly mine of any consequence that is now being oferated is the Copper King, in the foothills near Kings River, and people who ought to know say that tnis will prove to be one of the richest mines California has ever produced. Thero is & ledge of copver tweny- six feet in widih, and the gold in it runs $26 to the ton. The ore is exceptionally rich in copper. This mine was discovered by Hugh Kuepper several years ago, and about a year ago he s0ld it to Los Augeles capitalists for $15,000. They have been engaged during the past few months in opening up the property prepara- tory to operation on a big scale. They are maintaining setrecy about their work, but it is known that they have great anticipations as to the resuit of their investment. The company has had & contest over the claim to a section of its mine, and at the hea: ing in Stockton a few days ago Deputy United States Mineral Surveyor Linderman testitied that he considered the Copper King as giving indications of becoming ths greatest mine ever developed in the State of California. The Fresno County oil aistrict, near Huron, on the west side, 1s developing very satisfac torily. There are now six wetts flowing good streams of petroleum, and several earloads of the crude otl are being shipped out daily. Two companies, in waich Esstern capitalists are largely interested, are boring wells, and some big developments are expected. e Winter Activity in the Desert Dis- tricts Has Already Begun. The Los Angetes Mining News gives the fol- lowing concerning the activity in Southern Californin: Th: past week of the Mining change was a true reflection of the increasing interest in the miniug industry in this sity. x: Prospectors are pouring out on the desert | from San Bernardino and other points, and work is going on with armies of men where one year ago a pick had no: been turned to any extent. Randsburg, the magic city of the desert, presses on its way, producing iarger qusn- tities of gold than ever, with occasional new strikes< that bring joy to the hearts of owners and benefit to tne camp and investors, but of such frequent occurrence as 1o become an oft- t0ld tale which does not bear repeating. This fall the Virginia Dale and Acton districts are putting on a great show of activity. New stamp-mills are going up in all directions. and the mining business is engaging the at- tention of men in all lines of commercial pur- suits in this city. A new cyanide plant will be erected at the Sauta Rosa mine, Riverside County, at once. A force of men is,in fuct, at work now pre- paring the ground for the piant, which is ex- pected to be ready tfor operation in a few weeks. There is reported to be & big mining craze in the mountain region surrounding Kernvile, | and all the ground between that town and Havilah has been staked off and located. The rush of prospectors and investors into Sonora, Mexico, is something remarkable, and it has but just begun. All the hotels are crowded with Americans, and boarders have to wait their «urns at the tables, wnich have to be set three or four times to accommodate all who come. Tioe Virginia Dale District will be one of the scenes of activity. Nearly every day large loads of supplies leave this city for thatplace, and great results are expected this year, Notes From the Field. The trustees of the Los Augeles Oil Pro- ducers’ Association are considering a shut- down of the wells on account of the lack of storage capacity and the overproduction due to probibitive freight rates. The daily pro- duction is now about 4000 barrelsand the net consumption 2500 bar:eis. The Champion Mining Company has de- clared a dividend of 15 cents per share, amounting to $8300. Atthe Gwin mine, Calaveras County, the new shaft is down 1461 feet, and the 1200, [*1300 and 1400 levels are being opened uv. The vein is trom 10 to 25 feet wide. The 40- stamp mill is running atits full capacity and rich returns are being received. A 500-horse- power air compressing plant to be run by the waste water of the mill and hoist is being in- stalled. The various assay and refining houses of the city report that more prospectors are pre- paring to go out into the mining sections of Southern California and Arizona this season than ever before in the history of local min- ing. The eariy rains have made the water supply on the desert certain, and this has greatly aided the early starting of prospect- ors.—Los Angeles Record. Probably nothing more strikingly illustrates the great increase in the number of men who have made mining an avocation than the nu- merocs inquiries weekly received at this office rezarding points on which the mining worid is generally supposed to be well posted—the rudimentary requirements of mining knowl- edge. The qucstions are all evidently asked in good faith, and are as faithfully answered.— Mining and Scientific Press. The new railroad to Randsburg from Kramer is graded for fourteen miles, and the track has been laid for nearly five miles. At the Providenes mine, Nevada County, sinking on the shaft and opening up new levels continue steadily, and new machinery in the 1700 level was started last week. Ex-Governor Markham has purchased a number of mining vroperties in San Diego County, including the American Girl. A correspondent of the Mining and Scien- ttfic Press writes from Calaveras Count: “There remains -for the investor & large field ou the mother lode. Undeveloped river chan- nels cross the county in every direction. Where opened they have paid to work. From Murpnys north extends a contact vein that can be traced for over fifteen miles. No work has been done on it. It lies between porphyry and limestone and is capped with limonite that assays well in places. While good mines | do not grow on the bushes in Calaveras, there are siill a number of promising locations awaiting capital to develop.” . A new company proposes to develop a mining property at Centerviile, Butte County, which consists of fifty acres of ground. Dams will be constructed and the gravel hydraulicked. The Utica Company is operating 60 sitamps qn the Utica, 60 on the Stickle, 40 on the Mat- tisou and 20 on the Gold CLff in Calaverss Couniy. The Stickle shaft is to be sunk to 1500 feet. The Thorpe mine, Calaveras County, is about to pass into the hunds of ihe Californis Ex- ploration Company. The shaft is now down | 700 feet. The Gottschalk and Gold Hill mines, | near San Andreas, are among the properties | being sctively developed by this company. i Anew 10-stamp mill is Leing erected st Jo- hannesburg. The Schroeder Consolidated Mining Com- pany, nine miles southwest of Yreka, whose 10-stamp mill was destroyed by fire about & yearago, is erecting a 20-stamp mill. On the 1200 level the ore body is over 100 feet wide, which bears sulphurets in value throughout of from $3 to $4.and a four-foot ledge that yields $132 per ton in free gold. WRECKAGE. BY HOWARD V. SUTHERLAND. It is to be regretted that the judiciary is not in a position to administer e stinging rebuke to those lawyers who are wiliing to hire themselves out to criminals for the sake of what there may be in it. Thanks to our elec- toral system and the fact thatin a few years they may be grubbing for a living themselves the majority of our Judges find it more con- veuient to keep on friendly terms with the lawyers than to risk encountering tneir en- mity by humbling them with dignified cen- sure. It is also to be regretted that the San Francisco Bar (Baa) Association is not power- ful and independent enough to exp:1 from its fold the bluck sheep that bring it into dis- repute. What between puppet judges and Iawyers who are éither the caispaws of bosses or iuwbreakers the conviction that the ad- ministration of justice in California is a hol- low farce is not to be wondered at, nor en- tirely without foundation. Iam opposed to making comparisons be- tween conditions in this country and in Great Britain as is so commonly done, holding as I do tnat we are a law unto ourselves, and that in time we shall satisfactorily regulate the evils from which we at present suffer. It takes time for an appreciation of the differ- ence between liberty and license to be dif- fused throughout a young nation; freedom is often made an excuse for folly, and evils are tolerated because dissatisfaction is usually an attribute of age and progress. Pk We are, however, growing olaer and are be- coming dissatisfied, and before long will de- muand thatour lawyers, ere they may label themselves as leaders, shall pe men of finer grain than they are at present. A certain amount of dignity will even be required of a Police Judge and the men who are elected to the higher courts will be such as are without stein and above the very suspicion of influ- ence or corruption. And, unless I err, many of our most prominent legal luminaries, who ride at present like corks upon the frothy waves of prosperity, will ere many years be cast upon the sands and serve as object-les- s nsto their successors, who will consider the people’s interests rather than their own, And when that dzy comes—when our lawyers fight corruption insteed of furthering it, when they protect the community instead of the criminal who has outraged it—felons will not continue to go unpunished nor the hanggen- tleman’s hands be manacled as they are at present. Ts there no one in this city willing to take up the cudgel in defense of the underworked | teiephone girl? She 1s still in the heyday of glorions young womanhood, is given 10 chew- ing gum and reading thrilling stories wherein | the Hon. Altermarle Montfitzpalm eloves with Miss Hortensia de Hortense, and lives contentedly off her princessly income. She | has it a girl’s longing for romance, and yet | she leaves her home to help prosaic telephone magnates out of their difficulties and get other people into them. She knows that she | is & thing of beauty, something beyond the | reach of the people she deals with (which is not unfortunate for her), and thatshe is in many respec's even more powerful than those to whom she condescends 1o lend her services. If she prefers to read the latest novel in the telephone-ioom it is probably because there is a babe at home whose yowling would disturb her thoughts: if she seesfit to hold the line herself and converse for twenty minutes with her friend in the Mission, it shows that it is ber disposition to be sociable, and that she takes a healthy interest in the weliare of her | acquaintances—gentiemen in particular. I have often requested one of these beings to connect me with a party,and have been se- vereiy rebuked for so doing. At first such treatment would meake me angry, but now I know that the telephoue lady probably knew what was best for me, and acted up to that be- lief. If reforms are to be broughtabout in tnis matter the city should pension the girls off with $2500 a vear and run the business itself, tetting men attend to the switching. But the giris must be comfortably provided for first, because it was to benefit them that the tele- phone system was organized. i I believe in every dog having its day, but | the numver of those days should be num- bered, even as are those of man. Owing, I suppose, to the unsettled condition of local | politics, San Francisco is at present withouta Poundgentleman and pedestrians receive hourly object lessons in the numerous dis- eases unto which the canine family is beir. This is not ss it should be and some agile person should be immediately appointed to fill the posiion and chase the stray dogs from our thoroughfares. * - . New York is undoubtedly a progressive city and is blocks ahead of San Francisco in num- erous respects. I see, for instance, that the authorities are insisting that all houses shall | be numbered with white figures on a black | border not less than two inches high. The numbers will not be placed on the doors themselves, but on the walls of the houses, between the door aud the nearest window. Considering the conspicuousness of the loca- tion, wight it not be well for us, or for a goodly number of us, to adopt the same measures with regard to keyholes ? TR Mr. Phil Francis of the Stockton Mail, in com- menting on the Society of American Assassins, while praising it, states that in his opinfon it might be better to kill off ireak journalists in- stend of the freaks themselves, as I advised. There is much truth 1 Mr. Francis’ sugges- tion, but as reforms are brought about so slowly nowadays I fear we must be sitisfied for the present with my own little scheme. It will ot attract so much aitention and at the | same time will give our yellow brothers a | chauce to reform. The country press, which is a cleanly press, can help whip them into line if 50 minded. . The young couple of Boston who were mar- ried in a cage containing two ferocious lions the other day were not as witless as many people imagined. They probably wanted to become accustomed to fighting as soon as pos- sible and expected the royal beasts to give them an inkling as to what married life wou!d be like. The tragcdy began when the minister who united them was rebuked by the Minis- terial Association and cxpelled from its ranks. In reality he should have been promoted for bravery. - + THE PHILOSOPHICAL LAMS. Mary had a little lamb That loved to eat and sleop; A It fell into a butcher’'s hands And, as the animal’s soul said to the soul of a sister lamb that had preceded it by a few minutes, ““We have the extreme satisfaction of knowing, my dear, that neither of us has ever been a shee?,” > Not the least penalty of old age is that one of its accompanying features is a complete loss of the sense of humor. To ourselves this may not be so apparent, but it is diagreeably 80 lo our younger associates, and they are not always to be blamed for wondering at our long postponed hencetaking. Sir Edwin Ar- nold is a shining example of what a man ma become when this most cherished o the senses leaves him. Had he o been a humorist in his younger day he wonld never have survived bi poetry-writing period; had he not become commonplacedly serious in his old age he| would never had wedded an olive-hued doll of a woman with a leaning toward blue !i]k{ decollete dresses. It is not for marrying t h Jepanese musme that this «Light'’ of ms% world is to be blamed, for misfortune may overtake the very best of us, and hasa pare ticularly keen tooth for versifiers. What has everiastingly banned him from the. ranks of the elect is his permitting his better quarter to violate all the canons of beauty and good taste. Mr. Arnold is now surely ripe for an editorial position on Punch. ik Emile Zola, whose lack of oratorical ability is said to prevent him from entering French | politics, si.ould coma to San Francisco, where he wiil be able to gratify his ambition. Neither Martin Kelly, Phil Crimmins, Chris Buckley nor Sam Rainey are talkers in any sense of the word, yet even a Zola could learn from them in matters appertaining to mu- nicipal politics. The chief requisite of the successful cily statesman 1s at all times to be able to keep his mouth shut and his hands open. Breaking ,a Record. Iam not a crackajack. It is not my ambition to become either a Ziegler or a Zimmerman, nevertheless I believe 1 hold the world’s unpaced downhill record. 1t happened that 1 was a member of a cveling party that was on a day’s outing among the Berkeley hills. For miles we had been ascending, winding 1n and around the mountains, until at last, after toiling up a long grade, we came upon a steep incline that appalled even the stout- est ot the group. In fact the place was used for coasting by boys who had their braver developed at theexpense of their rensulw& ability. The whole party had dismounted and were leading their bikes when, with that total disregard for personal danger which I always exhibit in the pre:ence of young ladies, I determined to ride, and started out on what terminated in the greatest road run ever made by any living rider. Of course the Coroner’s books may re- veal the names of men who made much quicker time downhill than Idid. Some steep mountainside may be strewn with the remains of the man who made a more remarkable record. The be- reaved family of some speedier rider may still be burying him on the in- stallment plan according as they find his remains. But 1 do not fear contradiction when 1 claim that I am the fastest down- hill rider of any man who is not ex inct. Furthermore, the race was made without any previous training, thus coming under the head of an impromptu, extempora- neous ride. The moment I started on my downward path I realized that I had made a mistake. Other young men may have fallen from grace, but never beiore had the downward career of a respectable citizen been so rapid. The overhanging branches tore off my hat and neckuie. At every yard my velociiy increased and my wardrobe de- creased, nntil at last “Paul Revere’s Ride” or Sheridan’s mad gallop to Winchester were as nothing compared with my awiul anxiety to rcach level ground. By this time my wheel had acquired the velocity of askyrocket. I began to feel that I was entered in a great relay race to eternity. I felt too scared to pray, and too near death to swear. My heart had almost stopped 'beatine—my tloating ribs had almost ceased to float. Suddenly my wheel struck a bowlder and paused abruptiy. But I didn’t. I kept right on for about twenty feet further, until, finding myself without any visible means of support, T made a flying finish, landing in a clump of blackberry vines,through wh'cn I sifted. When I had finally disentangled myself | from the clinging embrace of botanical surroundings, I realized that I had be:n punctured. As I limved back to the place where in my hurry to get there I baa seceded from my bike 1 did not look like a man who had just made a world’s record. My hat, necktie and collar were left on the hilside, my coat was hanging at half-mast from one shoulder, even my presence of mind deserted me, and I felt the need of a guardian as I never before had in my life. I looked like a man who bad been granted belligerent rights, and was sorry for It. We now went over to hold a post. mortem examination on the shattered fragments of the wheel. We found that it had suffered a compound iracture of the handle-bars, a concussion of the forks, a contortion of the pedals, a dislocation of the srokes, a dislodgment of the seat, and a rupiure of the tires. Iconcluded to walk home. Buthow to walk home and escape the young ladies of the party was a ques- tion that puzzled my intellect. The mora I looked down at my abbreviated gar- ments the more I longed for an overcoat. But the thought that I had broken a record as well as other miscellancous things gave me courace to face any lady— be she blushing bloomer-girl or postponed bride. At first the ladies were inclined to look upon my accident as a calamity, but when I exolained to them that I had probably made the world's unpaced downhili record they forgot even the emptiness of my wardrobe in the fullness of their joy. Every member of the club wanted me to ride home on his or her wheel, while many of the ladies went back te get pieces of my bike as souvenirs. As for myself [ am still giving away souvenir blackberry thorns as fast as I can extract them, and from presen: indications the supply seems to be inextaustible. Nowpe: NEW TO-DAY.
