Official Survey of the Year in British Columb’a—Notes of the Field. Three mining counties have aiready taken definite steps toward seizing the. greatad- vertising opportunity presented by the Golden Jubilee Fair. Calaveras has shown the most promptitude. Its Supervisors have appro- priated $500 for a county mining exhibit and $500 more has been quickiy raised. This $1000 will likely be considerably increased. R. A. P rkar, expert and general menager for the California Exploration Company, which is 80 largeiy iuterested in Calaveras mines and mining developments, is one of the most active memb:rs of a committee in charze of the enterprise, and has already conferred with Superintendent Gilmour about space for the exhibit, which promises to bea large and | fine one. In Nevada County the Nevada City Board of Trade has eathusiastically taken ho!d of the matter, and recommended an appropriation by the Supervisors. This banner gold-pro- ducing county of the S:ate will undoubtedly make an exaibit worthy of itsrecord. It was in Nevada County that quartz mining began in Californis, and there the first crude stamp mill was erected. It has mines that nave pro- duced $15,000 000, aud it will be a great pro- ducer for generations. The Suvervisors ot El | Dorado County will hold a special meeting on Tuesday to see what the desire of the public is and to decide on makiug an appropriztion. | Julian Sonntag, secretary of the California Miners’ As-Ociation, who constitutes the com- miitee on correspondence for the jubilee and fair, has sent strong letters to the Supervisors | of all the minirg counties, :0 all the members | of the executive committee of the Califoruia | Miners’ Association and 1o many prominent mining men goueraily throurhout the State, urging that they give the enterprise the:r | coraial support. Most of the-e letiers were sent duriuz the past week, which has seen the first definite formulat:on of plans and pros- pects for the fair, so that repifes will not e received and a general start of preparation made until during the comisg week. Thera | is, however, every indication that the mining | interests of the whole State, under the spur of | the new mining prosperity and the growing Ppromises of the future, will turn to witha will and meke the fair the greatest miniug exposition ever heid No county will be | charged anyihing for space, but will be charged only for any expense of instaliation of the exhibit which may fall 04 the manage- ment of the fair. A Report on th: Mining Sitnation iIn British Columb a. A somewhat extended general review of the mining situation in British Columbia at the end of the year by W. A. Cariyle, the provin- clal mineralogist, is of interest as giving an intelligent view of the great gold fizld of our northern neighbor between the boraer and the Yukon country. Mr. Carlyle says in general terms that the search throughout the province for mines by prospectors. miners and capitalists 13 as ac- tive as ever and developmen. work is pro- ceeding everywhere. Last year there was much wildeat exploitation of British Colum- bia minesiu the London marker, but this is NOLSO @asy NOW =0 thaut thers is not so much boom and hurrah but more real develcpment. On this maiter the mineralogist says: This year there has not been that fusave rush to float minin: companies we saw last year, nor has there been that tnflux of would- be buyers anxious 10 get property of aimost any description to dis- NEWS OF THE MINES Pose of by means of startling and exaggerated Pprospectuses among their eager public at a dis- tauce, worked up to the desire to buy almost any- thing offered, imbued with the true gambling spirit. Nevertheless, there has been and is now a large number of influential ma: in the country. backed by ample capiial, who are careful.y exam- ming our mineral resources and maxzing many purchases, wi.h the resu:t that far more wors is DOW in progress and much more will Le yet under- taken. A large increase in the product for 1897 is estimaied as follows: In lode miniug the b-ginning da‘es to about ten yearsago, butin .eality ouly toabout five yearsand the rajid progress during the past few years is most sigaificant, as s seen in the following table of prodacilon o: the lode mines only: 1887...........

Notes From the Mines. The pocket mines of Tuolumne County have up to date ylelded over $4,000,000 in gold, of which amount the Jamous bonanzs has $1,250,000 to 115 credit. The Uncie Sam mine, near Arastraville, has been bonded for one year by T. R. McClure for $6000 to San Francisco parties. Machinery hus been ordered, consisting of steam boist and pump, and will be erected within tae next few weeks. This mine was worked ihirty years ago and proved good property. The old shaft, which wes sunk to a distance of ninety-three fect, having been fi led in, it 1s now being cieaned out, nud aiready seven.y ‘eet has becn accomplished —Tuolumne R- flex. The Baliol mine in Amador County is min- 1ng and milling at & ccst of 85 cents per ton. By increased milling facilities the owners ex- pect to reduce the cost to 50 cents ver ton. In the Strirger district, near Randsburg, there are fifty drv washers at work: in the Pumpkin Kolier district and Goler as many more sre tekingout pay dirt. In the Stringer couatry dry washers are averaging about 12 cents per run of fifiy shoveis each. Tiwenty to forty runs are made in a day. According to the Rsndsburg Miner tne officers of the Kramer-Randsburg Raiiroad are figuring cn putting up a 40-stamp mill, with concentrators, at Barstow, and that it is pro- posed to give & cheap rate for ores, so that it will be possible to haul and mill the oresata price not to exceed $4 per ton. Anew amalgam has been discovered which issaid to be n wondertul subsitute tor gold. It consists of 94 partsof copper to6 parts of antimony. The copver is melted aud the anti- mony is added, together with u little magne- sium and carbonsate of lime, toincreass tne i density. The preduct can be drawn, wrought and soldered like the precious metal, to which it bears a striking resembance when polished Tue cost of manufacture is about 25 centsa pound. The Pioneer in Piacer County has made a survey for & new tunnel un the 1500-footlevel. The foundation for the twenty additioral stamps h-s been ordered, and it isexpected & chlorination plant wilt be erected. The Seil mine, Tuolumne County, has been bonded to the Tuolumne County Mining and Development Company, a Fresno organization, and active work will e shor.ly commenced, as well as the erection of a fi e 10-stamp mill The Yreka Journal in speaking of the bright prospects of Siskiyou County for next year says: “In the Salmon River section several | | new mines are to be opened up on an exten- sive scale with new quaitz mills uader cou- struction for operaiion during the coming spring and summer. A number of these mines will employ as high as fiity and sixty hands, while numerous smaller mines will also help affurd empivyment for several huudred new comers, many of whom wi.l bring families.” Mostof the placer mines in Siskiyou are now start ng up, as the late storms have fur- nished plenty of water. The largest miues will probably be started up in January. Aloug the Klamath River most of the mines cxpect to be soon compelled to suspend work as the recent storms raised the river s-veral inches and anotaer heavy storm will probably cause their wheels to be cerried awsy unless they puil out. S)me of tme miners will take | chances and let the machinery go if notable to save it. These mines have had & long sea- son and most of them have paid well. The res:oration of the waler suppiy in the | flumes of the Tuolumne County Water Com- i pany was tue event of the week to the mining interests of Tuo.umne County. Lest year tte company’s storage dams in the | mountaius were washed out and duriug the | past three months there has been but the nai- uralsupply of the streams. For this reason many mines and mills have been closed down for two or three months. The dams have been reconstructed, the recent ra have given a water supp.y and water was turned fnto the flumes again on Wednesday. Itises- | timated tnat a shortage of water for power purposes this fall w il lessen the mother lode production $2,000,000. | The Altoons quicksilver mine at Cinnabar | will soon be in fuil operation after a long idle- | ness and a long and expensive labor in | pumpivg at tuemine. The or:-drying plant ivinoperation and the retorts will be going ina few days. A Porris correspondemt of the Riverside Press says thata party of Eastern capitaisis are coming 1o inspect the Jumbo and neigh- boring properties in that district. The Jumbo | had three veins, which, it is believed, unite at adepth of about 850 feet, where there is supposed to be an interesting auriferous phenomenon. The Gavilan mill will be in operation by Christmas. There is on foot in London a scheme, fath- ered by the Imperial Iustitute, to hold a great mining exposition in 1899, at the closs of the century. Two delegates are vising the British colonies to see what support would be apt 10 be given to tne plan taere. The Calaveras Prospect says that the Moun- tain K:ng, owned by Womble Bros., Big Seven, owned by W. J. Lewls, and Homestead, owned by McCarty & Womble, near Copperopolis, Mme. Felix mining district, have been bonded 10 a Chicago company. Itis estimated that the La Grauge Hydraulic Mining Company peopie have spent, or will have spent when the work is completea, $1,000,000 in development work and im- provements on their great properties in Trin- ity County. The newer work, such as the flume, siphon line, tutnel, erc, has cost in | the aeizhborhood of $300,000. The com- pany’s flume 1s eleven miles in leagth, re- quiring 8,000,000 feet of lumber for the con- struetion. The United States Marble Company has or- | | | | anized to exploit deposits of marble, ODYX, alabaster and slate in Stevens County, Wash., iles north of Spokane. "}Hsm:mimmed that tne State of Montana will produce 250,000,000 pounds of copper during 1897. At the late session of the Southern Orezon Miners’ Association Professer W. H. Hampron was elected president for the third time, L. L Jewell treasurer and E. C. Wade secretary. It is stated that numerous small cyanide plants are being establisned in tue sparsely settled districts of the West and operated secretly, like moonshiners’ stills, 10 avoid pay ing the royalty. A1 the Grant Bros. mine on the north fork of the John Day River, Oregon, one of the giants got loose and began 1hrowing an eight-inch stream in circles. B. F. Grant ran to stop the ‘machine and was hurled aside iike paper. A miner named Berry was struck by the siream and his arm broke: in two places. A boy sit- ting on a bowlder 100 feet distant was lhxm‘\ n ten feet in the air and was badly injured. Six men were thrown against tne bank and were badly bruised and cut,and another man had his shoulder dislocated. % The receipts of gold at the Denver mint, which is in fact at present but an assay office, show an enormous increase this year as com- pared with last. A fierce controversy is going on in Coloredo and Eastern mining and other journals over the mew ““Beam process” of reducing refrac- tory ores, which is being extensively boomed. Cripple Creek dividends wil smount 10 about §1,250,000 in 1897. This does notin- clude profits made by close corporations, oc properties owned by private individuais. These will doubtless amount to enough to mske $2,000,000, or about 16 per cent of the vear's total product of the camp. The combined coal ficids of the State of Washington now known to exist cover an ares of 1630 square miles. T. B. Corey, & recog- niz d authority on the coal interes:sof the State, says that at the present rate of con- sumption the State’s supply will last tor hun- dreds of years. A ORY FROM SAN QUENTI} Prisoners Express a Desire For Some New Music. The prisoners contined at Sun Qnentin are at present dep oring the fact that no new music finds its way within the walls of the solid old inclosure. There are at pre-ent confined theresome sixteen music ans, and in oraer to whle away the time which scmetimes hangs heavily on their hands, and to amuse visitors on show-off days, they have organ- zed a band. The band may bte a good one, but no band can proper'y exhibit itself unless it bas good music to spread upon. Secretary Davis of the local Musicians’ Union is in receipt of a letter from War- ren E. Price, disclosing the state of af- fairs. Mr. Price writes as follow “You can understand how badly off they are when I tell_vou that “See- walizes and “Down Went McG.” are still often played. They have a small collec- tion of better music, but when they have an opportunity to play before visitors they have not much to offer. They play almost every nicht for an hour or more, aud on Sundays, so you can see their small stock of music is pretty well known 10 themselves; as well as to tha 1400 men who are always their audience.” The letter concludes with a request that | some of the local musicians who managed 10 keep oulside the State’s boar.ling-house send on some of their discarded music, which will be new inside the prison, — e — — Stationary Englueers. £an Francisco No. 1 of tne National Asso-fa- tion of Stationary Engineers gav - its members an enjoyable smoker last I uesiay evering on occu- pying the Dew quarters, 20 Eddy street.
