Among the passengers to arrive yesterday on the steamer Colon from Guate- mala was Donna Josefa M. de Ezeta, wife of General Carlos Ezeta, ex-president of Salvador. and attend the marriage of her younger sister in Quezaltenango. will make her home in California, and will devote her time to educating her four little daughters, who are at present at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Oakland. She has been to Guatemala to settle some of her private affairs Mrs. Ezeta Possible Complications in Exempting Soldier- Miners From As- sessment. The Philippines May Become a Field for American Min- ing Energy—A Week’s Developments. There is little doubt that Congress will pass the pending bill exempting owners of mining claims who enlist in the army from doing the $100 worth of assessment work on their claims. When it becomes & law there will be room for much dis- cussion and many complications. If the soldier owns a half or a quarter Interest, how about the civilian partners? If the half-owner who stays at home must do $50 worth of work half the claim might be jumped if this half of the work was not done and the soldier would not know who his partner was until he got home. Could the jumper change the name of the mine and develop it without the soldler’s knowledge and consent? Varfous prob- lems would arise in connection with un- divided interests regulated by different rules. On the other hand if the soldier’s interest would exempt the whole claim half the army would soon have partner- ship interests in mining claims. The law will have to be carefully prepared. None will dispute the primary justice of it. Whilg the Stars and Stripes float over the Philippine Islands it is of interest to know something of their mining possi- bilities. A mining manager of that part of the world says of them: “As a min- ing country I have never seen its equal; there is gold everywhere. The littie streams are full of placer gold and the mountains a perfect network of small iedges, some of them running as much as from four to six ounces per ton; but the eople are at least one thousand years Behlnd the times; no work has yet been done here in a systematic manner, and for several reasons it is almost impossi- ble to prospect here. The Government does not give the proper protection to justify any man spending his time pros- pecting. Another reason is the interior of the islands, which, in my opinion, is the richest portion of them, are peopled with wild tribes of Indians that are al- most as ferocious as wild beasts, and no prospecting could be done in their terri- fory unless the prospectors went in large parties; and another reason is that the Yoliage, which is a regular jungle, is so thick that a man cannot get through it. If any other nation on earth except the Spaniards had this country, it would very Soon be the largest gold producing coun- try in the world, but evervthing is so handicapped that it is impossible to get ital to come in here, and it will take capl tal to make a success of it. The ore f-fl x:llnm‘h grade, but I am a little afraid NEWS OF THE MINES. it cannot be successfully worked by free milling process. I have all the machinery on hand for a 100-stamp mill, and, if it is a success, the company_ will at once in- crease their works. Thney have any amount of ore, and in_this country of cheap labor, they are bound to receive large profit Regarding the present status of the in- teresting scheme of the Utica Mining Company to drive an exploration tunnel under the town of Angels Camp in a search for new veins, the Mountain Echo says: “The Utica Company will un- doubtedly receive the consent of every property owner along the route selected by the company to explore. Those who | first objected to granting the privilege | have since taken a different view of the situation and have signed the petition. That is right; none of us can reach the ores, if there are any, at a depth of 500 feet from the surface of our lots, while the company can, with much ease, ex- plore at that depth for deeply hidden ores.” The Albany Flat and Storm_ King quartz mines have been bonded by Do- mingo Rolleri to the Nellle Mining Com- pany, having its headquarters in Stock- ton. The purchase price is $15,000, $1500 cash and the balance on or before Feb- ruary 8, 190. The Nellie Mining Com- pany is composed of several leading citi- zens of Stockton, among whom are Dis trict Attorney Nutter and Dr. Oli- vieri, and it is the intention of this com- ;;any to immediately commence opera- tions. It is reported that the California Ex- ploration Company (limited) has at last succeeded in purchasing the Thorpe mine in Calveras County. The purchase price is over $200,000. At the Gwin mine they have an eight- foot ledge in the face of the south drift on the 1400-foot level. At the south shaft they have the water vut down to the 1200-foot level. Free coarse gold has been drawn up by the pumps and the water is full of sulphurets. The water is run through a flume, in which riffles are placed to catch the free gold and hang up the sulphurets.—Calveras Chronicle. Several of our hydraulic mines are likely to remain idle this season on account of the scarcity of water. The owners will put in the time fixing up for next winter's supply of rain and snow, without making any attempt to turn In the scanty supply of water that may be afforded before the dry, hot days arrive. The San Francisco company operlllnE the Wright and Eastlick mines at Oro Fino are working them energeti- cally, with the Evans elevators and giants, which are operated with consider- able less water than the old elevators formerly used. The company has still a good supply of water in the ditch from almon Mountain, but the season will be shorter than usual. On Indian Creek in Scott Vn.llef, ‘water is very scarce ai- ready, hardly enough to supply the aras- tral.s or crushing purposes.—Yreka Jour- nal. Reports from Copper City are to the effect that a fuur-poflt ledge of native copper has been encounter: on Bull; Hill on the property owned by Sallee McDonnell. Ever since the conclusion of the Iron Mountain sale, in which these gentlemen were interested—one as . an owner, the other as a promoter—they have kept a force of men developing and prospecting on Bully Hill. Two long tun- nels have been run into the mountain, and several ledges and ore bodies have been cross-cut as the work een ex- | chant tended. Last Thursday, it s reported, | the ntiners operating under Superintend: ent Penrose struck a ledge of fabulously | rich copper ore—so ricn, m fact, that a | shot could not be put in_ with effect. | Chunks of native copper so heavy that | the men could hardly handle them were | taken out, and our iriformant saw several | specimens taken from the dump that looked like the refined product.—Redding | Searchlight. A rich strike in a ledge five feet wide is reported from near Whiskytown. Sh ta County. The indications at the old Mineral Hiil mine, which adjoins th Spanish in the Eureka district, are so favorable that in few days the construction of a five- Stamp mill will be commenced on the property and a large force of men put to | work in order to more systematically de- | velop the property. Eugene J. Hegarty | of San Francisco, who has a bond on the | mine, arrived recently. Mr. Hegarty is a real estate dealer, and is a son of | Charles Hegarty, the well-known mer- | of Moores Flat. In vears gone v the Mineral Hill paid well, and being | situated in a good locality, the outlook for good returns are very encouraging. Theré is a ledge formation of forty feet between the walls, from which good rock has been extracted. With a mill on the prop- erty, the ores can of course be worked to better advantage.—Grass Valley Union. Prospecting is rather dry, work or is becoming so. Pocket hunters who have been waliting for water are in nearly the same condition as the farmers. It takes water for the miners as well as the farmers, but there is one advantage the ocket miner has some show even when t is dry. Pocket mining {s a science and is acquired after years of experience. It is very common in our town for a pros- pector to bring in a rich specimen and often a_handful of them, and the news of the find is never heralded outside of the town limits. Many of these finds if in the vicinity of the north pole would load a Great Eastern with prospectors for that locality.—Mariposa Gazette. It was reported yesterday that James Waugaman was on a deal to sell his Greenhorn mountain mine from which so much gold has been taken in the past year. The price to be paid was said to be $45,000. The deal was claimed to be a sure go. The names of the proposed pur- chasers were not learned. The mine is a valuable one and ought to bring a good round price. There is some valuable ma- chinery to go with the trade.—Kern Coun- ty Echo. | The Centennial and other properties | bonded to T. B. Dillon and by him trans- ferred to the Columbia Gold Mining Com pany have reverted to the original own- ers, represented by A. Caminetti. The | company accomplished nothing except the ' expenditure of about $10,000, which, of course, is a dead loss to all concerned.— Amador Ledger. | The shaft in the Harrison mine, Jack- | sonville, is down 210 feet. Drifting and crosscutting are going on at that depth. The Alameda shaft has reached a depth of 650 feet. The ore contains much high- grade sulphurets. The mine is soon to be equipped with a twenty-stamp mill, work on which will be commenced on the 20th of the present month. At the Sell mine over 500 feet of the old tunnel has been straightened out and retimbered. leaving about the same length to be attended to. In the meantime a great deal of ore is being taken from the stopes.—Sonora Union-Democrat. The new mill on the joining the Utica on the West, was start- ed up the other day. Only five stamps | were put in motion in the beginning, but | we have learned that five more stamps | are now in operation, making in all ten. | This mill has a capacity of twenty | stamps, and is one of the finest mills ever | built in this county. The Lightner mine has a history. It was first located and Lightner mine, ad- | was not at that time | pick and pan and have gone into the po- worked nearly forty years ago, and was | then known to be a' valuable property. | Facilities for working ore at that time | were rather crude, and the parties who were attempting to work the mine had | but little money and very little knowledge | of how to reduce ore successfully. At that time there were no concentrators and no | means of saving the sulphurets, which contains the greater portion of the gold, other than by sluices rifled with gunny- sacks and blankets. Therefore, the mine dog that he put a_cowbell on and Pirned Soose.—Redding Freo Press. Five hundred dollars in gold dust and nuggets was brought into Ott’s offica yes- ferday by prospectors who had been working along the South Yuba Rlver. Some of the nuggets were qul_te coarse and went as high as $ and $5 aplece.— Grass Valley Tiding: a success. Under the present improved system of reducing | the ore and concentrating the rich sul- | phurets the mine is bound to be a suc- cess. The parties having the mine in hand at present have plenty of money and | every facility to extract the gold from the | ore, and, therefore, we may look for | grand developments in this mine in the hear future.—Mountain Echo. A fine ledge was encountered in the Potazuba mine in Amador County last week. Where discovered it was only two feet thick, but gives promise of widen- | ing. ~The regular monthly clean up at| the South Eureka mine last week showed | no decrease in the richness of the ore. Sinking in the north shaft is still going on, and a depth of nearly 1500 feet has been obtained.—Calaveras Citizen. The liveliest mining camps in the coun: ty at present are on the rivers, where work is crowded day and night in get- ting down to the pay channel. The sea- son, by reason of low water, is favorable for bottoming the channels with excel- lent success, and in a short time we ex- pect to hear of rich strikes in several claims.—Yreka Journal. PrePa.rallnns are being made to imme- diately commence development work at the Jupiter gravel mine above Iowa HIill. An incline will be run.to tap the channel. | Steam power will be used. Great activity prevails in river mlnln;l in the Honolulu "section of Klamath | River. The claims are being worked night and day. The Manzanita, Versey Creek and McConnell & Quinne and several others are hoisting pay gravel. Before very long the Pacific, Benz Bar and others will have their wingdams com- pleted so as to begin hoisting. It is ex- pected that large vields of coarse gold will be made in that section ere long.— Aetna Standard. H. Z. Osborne of the Los Angeles Ex- press is again in this district in the inter- est of his Coffee Creek property, the Ca- ton mine. He has just returned from New York, where he went to interest Eastern | capital. Mr. Osborne was recently ap-| pointed a United States Marshal for his | district, and must be home within a week to qualify. A miniature Coffee Creek rush is again taking place, although noth- ing to compare with what is expected be- fore the season is lairly over. George L. Carr has a ledge of copper ore sixty feet in width. He has done but little devel- opment work on the property, aithough it is admirably situated. The ledge shows plainly in the bed of the creek and ex- tends up the mountain side on each side for a distance of a mile—Redding Free Press. | The Milkmaid Mining Company of | French Gulch has resumed the shipment | of sulphurets. . | The richest ore ever seen in the memoryl of the oldest miners in French Gulch is now being taken oud of the old Deming property on the highland. The find was | made in an abandoned tunnel on the prop- erty. Most of our miners have dropped their tato raising business for a season. Messrs. Hubbell and Butler laid down their picks When the water got low and _went to clearing and fencing ground. Now they have a large patch of potatoes growing.
