SN Eastern mining journals belleve that the tr: fer of the controlling interest in the Southern Pacific Company to the Union Pacific w! result in good to the Coa!t: miners. is idea is based on the past| | policy of the Union Pacific. There are | | certainly many grievances of which the| miners of Callfornia have complained when dealing with the Southern Pacific Company. Claims have been abandoned because the owners thereof could not af- ford to pay the freights imposed upon them. This is an old story to Califor- nians, but may be new enough to the Un- fon Pacific management to carry to it & hint that the conditions of the past can be greatly improved and to the advan- tage of both the mining interest and the trensportation lines. Xor instance, the Engineering and Mining Journal, pub- lished in New York, taking a long dis tance view of the miners under the new | regime, says: | The Union Pacific people have usual shown & disposition to encourage the interes tributary to their road. It is to be hoped that the narrow policy of looking only to lm- mediate profit and exacting the highest pos- | sible rates—which the Southern Pacific Com- | pany hus persistently followed under the Hunt- ington management—will be abandoned for & mors liberal and far-sighted plan. In this wish there will be no exceptions among the miners of the Pacific Coast: On all sides the opinion is held that the | year 1901 ought to be exceptional in a min- ing way in California. There will be wat- | er enough in all sections. The drouth in | Southern California, which has lasted | | some years, has been effectually broken | | during the present winter. The miners | 0f the south are as happy over the out- |look as are those in the northern tler of | countles. It is true that there is so much | snow in certain places that mining has | come to a temporary standstill, but the | promise of the tuture is so good that there {is no tendency to grumble. It has been | really snowing $20 piecess In_ the high | mountains the snowfall has been very | heavy and as the weather has been cold | there are excellent chances that the snow | will pack finely and will not melt until | summer, which 1is the ideal condition. ‘The heavier the snow, as the interior pa- | pers are truthfully remarking, the longer the mills will be able to run. “Every | thing,” says the Stockton Independent, * | humming in mining circles.” This is the ral idea all along_the lin e figures of the United States Bureau | of Statistics reveal some striking facts | cuncerning the value of the mining indus- try of this country to tne world at large. enty-eight per cent of the total domes- tic exports of the United States last year originated beneath the surface of the earth In mines, or more than one-quarter of the entire volume. The Mohave Miner is reasoning that the »per belt of Arizona covers the entire | tory from the northern border to the | The evidence that is ter Gult of California. adduced to support this glittering theory {is as follows: | On the north side of the Colorado River are of the greatest copper mines in the and, following this are the United Verde Globe mines, and on_the international are the Ajo mines. To the west of the | several | West, | and { bor | gencral trend of the copper belt are the mines | of the Bill Willk fork, which are proving | to be good deposits. The Miner predicts that | Artizona is destined to become the greatest copper-producing territory on earth. | In the Superior Court in Shasta County | a decision w recently rendered by Judge Sweeney which involved the own- ership of placer property located by the | defendants, upon which the plaintiffs sub- | sequently flled a quartz location, claim- ing that discovery had been made of a vein or lode of sufficient extent and value to make the ground valuable for quarts | | mining purposes. Suit was brougnt to | | establish the title of the plaintifts’ con- tention as against the validity of the placer location. The Judge held in favor of the defendants, laying it down that, although a vein did exist, development | work had been insufficlent to warrant | any reasonable person in working it _for |2 profit as a quartz proposition. The P er location was, therefore, confirmed. | The ¢ had been in the court two years, | "¢, W. Riest of Red Bluff believes that | | he ‘has discovered the secret of saving | | fine gold. A machine that he has Invent- ed will do the work, he says. He will | | try some_experiments on the river north | of Red Bluff, using a steam engine for | | motive power. A ccrrespondent of the Amador Ledger, | who signs_himeelf “A Praogical Miner,”’ suggests that the mines which have been | considered to be west of the mother lode, | the Feerless and the Kirkwood, may be | on the real mother lode. His reasoning | is attracting some notice in the papers | published in the mining countles. His | communication is as follows: Thls section of country between the Jackson Creek and the Mokelumne River, although in neariy a direct line between two great gold producers, remains, with the exception of a few r;vmhls and prospect holes, almost virgin | imd The formation of the ground through which they have been sinking, strengthened by the fact that these mines are situated in a natural opening between eaid producers, is certainly evidence that they might be in the right chan- {nel. And again, for the Gwin ledge to paws east o ? this beit it would have to turn easterly and cut across a section of hard country rock. It Is not probable that a vein with a gouge o tural way would be it to run parallel with the hard rock; then | 1f such was the case the Gwin lode would run | up,_Black Gulch and through to the Kennedy. Should those Interested in these properties | | possess_the necessary pluck characteristic of | {an ough prospecting, they will undoubtedly | demonstrate that their judgment has not been | far from right. As to the Peerless and Kirk- wood there soan be no doubt that they are | | both on the same belt because there is only one slate running through this locality.

The sug- gested amendments have long been advo- cated by legitimate mining interests.” The bill introduced by Senator Stewart proposing changes in the United States mining laws and resulting criticism called out the foregoing. The Secretary of the Interlor has reversed a recent ruling of the Gen- eral Land Commissioner concerning locations of clalms _across claims previously patented. The latter had refused patent to a Gllpin County, Colo., company on the ground that some of 1ts location lines were laid within or upon other patented lode claims. The Sec- | retary holds that extralateral rights are often the most valuable rights obtained in a lode location, and that exterior lines of a location are not, in themselves, prop- y, but are mere boundaries or instru- s of description, and that the junior locator has the right, when necessary, to place end lines on other patented claims. John Hays Hammond, Jeff Doolittle and others have bonded 2000 acres of land nine miles east of Marysville on a continuation | of the old Smartsville channel and will there dredge for gold. The Marysville Democrat says: There are many places In the upper haif of Yuba County where gold can be had in paying quantities by the expenditure of a small amount This has been demonsirated in the past, particularly in New York and Northeust townships. Three years ago the editor of the Democrat was in the vicinity of Etrawberry Valley, and went to a spot of ground on the side of a ravine where a young man dug out a little more than $400 in nuggets, rangiug from §1 and §2 to §28 each. The surface worked over was not larger than an ordinary miner’s cabin, where later he found more gold. Near where L. W. Clark found a pocket of gold last Sunday at Racker- by there have been scveral notable and val- uable finds of the same class or similar. This writer saw about $%00 In gold that was taken sut of a pocket of decomposed rock near Han- sonvilie, some of it being in sheets not thicker than window glass, where it was found in the seams free of quartz. This discovery was by R. M. Johnson, an old_and respected citizen, who still resides near Rackerby.
