The average value of the gravel is good and the total amount of gold contained h been estimated by experts at $19,000,0X During past years a_miilion or more has been taken out and work on a small scale has been going on profitably dur- property has been ing recent times. The Uting for capital to establish the costly plant and large scale of operations need- ed. This will now be done. The present water supply o inches, brought eight miles from Bwift Creek and delivered at 200 feet, will be trebled. A new flume planned will cost $15000. Contracts for 400,000 feet of lumber have been let. New siants, Dipe lines, sluices, etc., and a gravel elevator for the lower channel are among the improvements planned. A large number of men will be employed and there will be busy scenes at Trinity Center which is destined to move one of these days and see its every lot washed away to bed rock, for the town site is a good hydraulicking proposition. It is a | common practice there for the loafers to scoop up & panful of the street when ten- derfeet come along, pan it out in the wat- ering trough and show by colors what a rich country that is. A new and progressive feature is noted in the neighborhood of Oroville, one of the most important regions of the State, in which capital is interesting itself in the problem of working, mainly with dredgers, large tracts of dry, low-grade gravel, as well as the river banks, bars and beds. Of course, prospecting a bed of gravel to determine its average rich- ness at various depths is the first thing necessary. Heretofore sinking shafts to bed rock has been the method pursued. The other day W. H. Mammon and others associated with him received at Oroville a steam drill, which is expected to rap- | 1dly bore to bed rock a six-inch hole tak- | ing out sufficlent gravel for assays at a fraction of the usual cost. The prospect- ing will be comparatively speedy and shesp. and so more prospecting will be one. | There are a number of new dredger projects being got Into shape or planned along the Feather River, and In a very | few years this method of gold mining [ will "be a big feature of the industry | along the Feather and elsewhere. Among the dredgers now in process of building on the Feather are two near Biggs, a few miles below Orovillle. Their cost will be about $§25,000 each -and each will handle about 200 yards of material a day. In many dredger operations now going on elsewhere the gravel is worked at a cost of about 3 cents a cubic yard, or about the cost of hydraulic mining under fa- | vorable conditions. If a machine can | handle enough material very low-grade | deposits can be profitably worked, and | there are almost limitless quantities of | gravel in this State, averaging a few. !cenls a cubic yard in gold, which can | | never be worked by the uydraulic pro- cess. The possibility of closely determin- ing the average values of a gravel de- ! posit, or, in other words, the amount of | 8old “in sight,” takes the element of speculation largely out of the enterprise, ‘?.nld smaller profits are tempting to capi- al. J‘ One of the new dredgers mentioned is | being built by J. W. Farris of Sacra- | mento and George F. Ditzler of Biggs, | and will be named the “Plutus.” Its mas- | slve machinery comes from Marion, Ohio, | though it ought to come from San'Fran- | cisco. The other is a San Franclsco prod- { uct and is being buut tgoA. 8. Cartwright | of Oakland and the Goiden State Iron | Works of this city. Both these dredgers | will use big steam shovels instead of the | more common chain buckets, each shovel | handling one and one-half cubic yards of | gravel. | The Anaconda Mining Company has added a new feature to the staff of men who care for its great copper operations lat Butte, Mont. It has hired a regular “‘geologist” in the person of Horace B. ‘Winchell, who for some years has been | the able assistant of the State Geologist | of Michigan. He receives a fine raise of salary. Heretofore mining companies have | expected their hl{h-snlmed mining en- | gineers to attend to their geology. | ” Butte is just now, by the way. probabfy | the most prosperous mining camp on th | sontinent, and its own %eaem census o | 1 the year 1%08 1s about 100,000 population. 1 Its great copper and silver mines and the present boom in copper mining are re- sponsible. All the mining companies are operating at their fullest capacity, hoist- ing 11,000 tons of ore a day. The develop- | ment ‘work now being pushed promises a | daily output of 15,000 tons a year hence. One shaft of the Anaconda Company is rapidly approaching the depth of 5000 feet planned for it. A story something like this will be told some day of the great, now undeveloped copper belt of Bhasta County in this State. | | James H. Tibblitts, the mining engineer | of San Francisco and Redding, has been | for some time busy examining gold prop- | erties for a Canadian syndicate at the head of which is Hon. A. G. Blalr, | Canadian Minister of Railways “and | Canals. It was for these people that he experted the Mountain mine in Slerra County some weeks ago when he found his mine samples salted. This syndicate is considering some mother lode proper- ties. Mr. Tibbitts is now examining some Sigkiyou County mines for them. Colonel von Leight, formerly superin- tendent of the Alameda and Quicksilver mines, now owns and superintends the Kellogg Creek quartz mine In southern Plumas County. He has fifteen men at work putting up crushing rolls and a small cyanide plant to treat the rebellious ore, which assays high In gold and silver. A large gasoline engine will furnish the motive power. About 500 flasks of quicksilver are being Rhl{[wd monthly from the Altoona mine at Cinnabar. ost of it goes to Castella by pack train, but often 200 flasks a month reach the rallroad at Redding by freighting team. According to the Mountain Democrat of Placerville, Poverty Point, north of that town, is one of the rica spots of El Dorado | County. It says; *“Low down on the north side of it John Melton is running a tunnel 600 feet below the shaft on the old Jo White mine, which from recent and re- liable tests is known to be one of the rich- est mines in the county. By going 500 feet further down and running a tunnel under the whole group of mines on Poverty Point, including the Gentle Annie, he can drain and work therg all. That this is the ultimate object of his enterprise we are well assured. Whiie the undertaking is great, the bonanza In sight is greater.” The Placerville Nugget gives briefly an- other of those abandoned mine storfes as follows: *In the Sonnet mine, near the Riverside, a rich chute of ore has recently been uncovered. This mine was formerly worked by Geo. A. Koch & Co., who op- erated it for a few seasons and took out gold to the value of $76,000. They lost the chute and the mine was abandoned. Messrs. Davis & Lane located it a number of years ago, have worked perseveringly, and their efforts have been rewarded with success. The rock mills from $80 to $100 a ton and over, the estimated value of eight tons now on the dump being $300.” Judging from the activi t{ among the owners and attorneys of the Argonaut Company it {s making extensive prepa- rations for the trial of its sult against the Kennedy Company, which is set for the 15th inst in the Superior Court of San Andreas, Judge Nicol of Tuolumne presiding.—Amador Ledger. The mines 1in the vicinity of Angels Camp, with the exception of the Drake mine, have closed. During the period the water will be shut off, five or six hun- dred miners will be thrown out of work. The mill men are busy making a general clean-up of plates and batteries.—Cala~ veras Prospect. Burgston & Bigelow are putting in a large pump at the Gamblin mine in the Fairplay uistrict, preparatory to sink- ing 500 feet. The mine is one of the Bl\;\p Gulch up, and is the property of N. B.

IMPORTANT TO MINERS. A New Apparatus That Will Revolu- tionize Hydraulic Mining. The canal being constructed in front of the water-pumping works in Golden Gate Park will be completed within the next six weeks. It will be 18 feet deep, 450 feet long and will supply all the water neces- sary for use in the park. It was at first thought that it would require months of time to dig the trench, but by the use of the Krogh dredging pump, a new device for this character of work and manu- factured by the Krogh Manufacturing Company, at 9 to 17 Stevenson street, this city. a great saving in time, labor and money was made possible. The Krogh dredging pump is compact and portable. It 1s worth the time of any one interested In machinery to visit the park and see the dredger in operation. While only an eight-inch pumg. yet it raises over 12609 cubic feet per hour, and over 25 per cent of the mixture is sand and gravel. An idea of the work performed by the dredger can best be formed when it is stated that it requires the combined and nnth-mgl efforts of elght men to clear awdy the sand and gravel from the dis- charge sluice. In fact, the dredger piles up the wet sand so fast that at times. it 18 necessary to close it down in order to get the sluice cleared. The dredger not alone carries up sand while in usc at the park, but it has been shown to be par- ticularly adaptable for mining purposes. Some of the workmen disputed yesterday as to the suction power of the dredger. To settle the question a plece of rock as large as a man’s fist was thrown into the canal. An instant later it was drawn up and thrown out on the discharge sluice. The machtne is particularly adapted to elevating gravel and working hydraulic monitors by electrical power. ‘Lhe dredger is being operated bg the Pelton water wheel, manufactured by the Main street. “The Pelton wheel,” said Engineer H. D. Saville, who is in charge of the work of conmstructing tine canal, “Is a \;mst valuable adjunct. It does the work required with little labor or cost; in fact, it does more work than a thirty- horse power engine and is easily moved from place to place. I was looking for a 8ood motive power,” said he, “‘and after close investigation I concluded that the Pelton wheel was what was needed. That I was correct in that and also the selec- tion of the Krogh dredger has been shown by the expeditious manner in which the work so far has been accom- rlished. ‘Without them I doub. very much f we would have more than one-quarter of the canal excavated at the present time. The Pelton wheel is.a California inven- | 1597. —now down about fifty feet—which has | resigned the | Pelton Water Wheel Company, at 121-123. tion, and of all of the coast inventions none approacheit in value and importance in thefr relation to the mining and manu- facturing interests of the country. It has found its way into all parts of the world, orders being received from Japan, India, the Strait Settlements, Central and South America and Australia. % —_——— NATIONAL GUARDSMEN. Division Headéuarters Waiting for the Commander-in-Chief to Move as to Reorganization. At division headquarters the ' reply to the question, “What steps are being taken to reorganize the National Guard?” is, “We are waiting for Governor Budd, the commander-in-chief, to move in the mat- ter, that and nothing more.” As the commander-in-chief is not yet ready to move in the matter, all affairs of the guard remain as they have been for the past two months. No one stems to know when anything will be done. Colonel Frank H. Powers of the Cali- fornia University (retired), who had been detailed as aid on the staff of the com- mander-in-chief, has been relieved from that duty. Colonel W. E. Hopkins, surgeon general Colonel Gallwey and Colonel W. R, Smed- berg have been appointed a board to ex- amine into the merits of the Merriam field pack as a proper equipment for sol- dlers in actlve service. The board is to examine into this with a view, if the re- port is favorable, to adopt it for the Na- tlonal Guard of the State in case the guard, when It Is re-established, should be called into active servi _What there remains in this city of the National Guard, rank and file, {s taking an active interest in the movement to get up a testimonial for the benefit of the widow of brave Captain Reinhold Rich- ter, who fell before Manila. The United States naval recruiting office has called upon the naval militia at this port for an apothecary, machinists, fire- men and seamen to enlist in the United States navy for the purpose of sending such to Dewey at Manila. The matter will be laid before the men who were re- cently dismissed from the auxiliary navy. Captain L. H. Turner, who commanded the rg&uols of the auxiliary navy, has returned to this city, and is now engaged in the business he followed before he en- listed. He has not yet announced if he will return to his former command in the militia. All the men who were mustered out of the naval militla were under the impres- sion that they were to come under the Frovislons granting all volunters a year's eave of absence, but they discovered their mistake a few days since, w.en they were ordered to return to their respective commands without delay. If they do not within a specified time do so they will be dlschnr%ed from the service of the State. Last Tuesday night a large number of the men who were discharged from the auxillary navy met on board of the Marion and had high jinks. They made merry, and the veterans of the auxiliary told of their adventures while in the serv- ice of Uncle Sam, and how it feels to be mustered out with only a few cents to your credit, or being in debt to the Gov- ernment. —_———— To-Day’s Music at the fark. 3 PART 1.

For several days the officers of the So- clety for the Preventlon of Cruelty to Animals have been investigating a num- ber of cases of shocking cruelty to ani- mals in Hayes Valley. Half a dozen valuable dogs have been poisoned to death and as many cats have had their eyes de- stroyed by acids. Among those who have lost valuable canines are M. Greer Kid- der of 123 Oak street, whose fine Irish setter was killed with poison. James Dockum of 128 Oak street is also the loser of a dog in thé same way. Francis Hagan of 1211 Oak street, and four others on the block below, are mourning the loss of their pets. In fact the slaughter of these animals assumed a wholesale nature that caused consternation among all in the valley who have these faithful beasts for pets and to guard their property. About the time the dogs were kilied the cats in the neighborhood were shockingly mutilated. Mrs. M. Dowell of 111 Oak street owned two valuable felines, and one might she was awakened by their cries, which were pitiful in the extreme. She opened the door and the two poor brutes staggered in, their eves burned by some kind of acid. The next day found them sightless. Mrs. Clark of 109 Oak street had a similar experience. Her fav- orite cat came home so badly burned that the skin came off, and the cat died soon after. Officer Walton, of the society. made a ‘careful investigation and found that the suspicions of all who had lost animals and the people in general in the nelghborhood were directed to an old woman who was sald to have an aversion for such pets. Their suspicions were based upon complaints recently made by her to the police and others that the barking of the dogs and the noise made by the cats disturbed her so that she could not sleep. Several days before the polsoning and acid throwing began Mrs. Green, of 117 Oak street, requested the police officer on the beat to stop the dis- turbance. Officer Walton found a number of peo- ple who had heard her say that if the nuisance was not stopped she would use poison. One of these {s Mrs. Wightman, of 24 Lily avenue, upon whom Mrs. Green called with the request that she take care of her cats or they would be poisoned. Officer Walton visited Mrs. Green, who is between 65 and 70 years of age, but she denied that she had poisoned the dogs or thrown acid on the cat ——— RETURN OF LONGSTREET.
