This week we intend to close out what remains of our summer stock, and we will close it out in our own particular way. That way is putting such a price on the balances that people readily see their values. One price, and that a snap—for cash. of another season, to look back to when we started in “Frisco.” We like just now, when we stand on the threshold We started in our own way, didn't we? We didn’t have any copyable store to follow; we blazed our own path, and it has led us into a way of success. We said spot cash and kept our word; we closed at 6 o'clock Saturday and gained the good will of the working people; we did not have time for sensationalism, nor the disposition; we just wanted to sell what the people wanted, at the time they wanted it and at the price they could afford to pay.

The time will come when California slate quarries will add an important item to the yearly record of the State’s mine- ral production. Its slate deposits have been but little prospected or expioited, but it is known that there are immense deposits of the flnest guality for roofing. They are generally away from means of economical transportation, the local de- mand is not great and the competition from Eastern quarries leaves but a small chance for profit to quarries favorably situated. The only locality in which slate has been quarrfed in a commercial scale so far is in El Dorado County, where within a few years four quarries have been worked on a not very extensive scale, but more regularly or permanently. In 1885 the total value of the product was about $9009. Now, with the early coming of the busi- ness and mining revival the slate business steps to the front again with the reopen- ing of the biggest quarry which has been developed so far. The Placerville Nugget says: “The Strahley slate quarry at Kelsey, which has been closed for the past four years, will be opened up again in a few days. This is one of the largest and richest quarries in the State, but on ac- ceunt of lack of harmony has not been worked lately. A number of San Fran- cisco capitalists and Thomas Alderson have been negotlatlng for some time past for the resumption of work on it, and the final papers were signed yesterday. The quarry will open ur under the manage- ment of Mr. Strahley, and about thirty men will be employed. It is backed by ample capital, so there is no doubt that it will be successful.” This ought to be good news. The value of the slate interests of this county can hardiy be estimated. This active de- velopment means just as much to the county as the development of our gold mining interests, and it is to be hoped !l;st the Strahley” property willboom right along. The encouraging mining situation Butte County s thus reviewed by Oroville Register: ““Although the season has been a ve dry one and many miners doing a small business have been unable to wash their ravel for want of sufficlent water, {at t is a fact that Oroville is daily visited by many new men who are in search of mines. From everg part of the county we learn that the business is being car- ried on with as much vigor and as good Tesults as at any time during the past three years. “The Banner mine, which has been idle a part of the summer, hag now put on a in the River, new mining claims have been opened up, many of which paid their owners handsome profits. As a whole mining in Butte County this year will not fall behind that of any preceding year. The Yellow Aster Mining Company, by its recent record with its rich Randsburg properties, s doing much to advertise that desert district, and the permanence of its values. The developments of the ast few months in the Yeliow Aster ave made Pat Reddy, the well known San Francisco attorney, sorry he had trouble with his partners and forced them to buy him out. Concerning this and the latest showing of the mine the Randsburg Miner says: “The Yellow Aster Mining Company at their monthly meeting in August made their July dividend $35,000 instead of $25,- 000 as was at first contemplated. Their expenses were less than expected, so their dividend was larger. “Since December, 1897, the company has declared and paid $85,000 in dividends, of which Reddy’s share, had he elected to stay in and work amicably with the oth- ers for the development of the Rand mines, would have been 321,250, an amount within $3760 of the whole amount he recelved for his interest. In addition to that there is a surplus now on hand in the company’s funds sufficient to run up his interest in the dividend since De- cember last, and in this surplus, to an amount at least $000 more than he re- celved, and he would still own his one- fourth interest In one of the best paying mining properties in the State.” The mining enterprise for the develop- ment of the North Fork of Feather River, says the Oroville Mercury, is now in a very promising condition. It was thought at first impossible to transport the neces- sary machinery to make the work suc- cessful, as the difficulties were seemingly insurmountable. In fact, because of 51!5 the North Fork has never been worked except upon the benches and bars and the bed of the river i{s known to be virgin ground. Already all the machinery neces- sary for the work is on the ground, hav- ing been taken over gulches difficult to even climb. These genuemen control eight miles or more of the river bed, and if results are what they have every rea- son to anticipate the North Fork will Ssoon be a scene of active operations on a large scale. Last week new machinery was taken 1 - team to Strawberry Valley for the Be quartz mine, near that place. In April last a two-stamp mili was put on the claim, and since that time it has been continually crushing quartz.
