Plans Radical Departure in the Bulletins to Be Circulated. S _Slate Mineralogist Aubury says that he will try to make the State Mining Bureau of practical value to the miners. He has ideas that are original and says he ex- pects to make a radical change in the general character of the bulletins to be issued from the bureau, in comparison with what has been done heretofore. In the first place he will instruct the field deputies that reports must be made with- out technicalitles. “The information is intended for the miners. and not for technical societies,” sald Mr. Aubury vesterday. *“What the people wish to know is where they can find gold and other products. In this con- nection I may say that it is my intention to have the facts reported concerning the outlying counties that have not had their share of mention earlier. There are fine mineral prospects in the most northern tier of countjes, but the public has not been informed concerning them by the Mining Bureau. The mother lode has been very well €xploited, so far as publicity is concerned, but T will not lose sight of the are also other sections that promise Mr.” Aubury also declared that he would soon set about getting the facts together concerning copper and quicksilver in Cali- fornid® and making them public for the information of all concerned. Much had been done for gold and silver, etc. Now the copper and quicksiiver interests, among others, woulu have bulletins de- voted to th Any mineral substance would be considered of sufficient impor- tance to exploit if found to exist in_large commercial quantities in the State. Build- ing stone was worthy of mention. So with many other substances. New Copper Converter. General Manager Wright of the Moun- tain Copper Company confirms the report that a copper converting: plant of large cdpacity will be installed at Keswick and hereaftey the metal will be refined in Shasta County instead of New Jersey. This will be the second converter in the county. The San Luis Obispo Breeze reports that P. Gillis has brought in some nuggets | from his mine one of which was very rich. from Cambria. A & to the Amador Dispatch, Al- ward is about to put in a large trical plant on Dry Creek, just above the Centennial mine. He intends to di- vert the high pressure system above the marble quarry on the Oleta road and carry the water around to Dry CreeRy where he can get a great pressure and | be able to supply the northern part of | Amador County with power. A. J. Crain tells the Dispatch that he expects to be- work soon. The Dispatch also re- ports that a survey, preparatory to the beginning of active mining by the Con- solidated Jackson Company, is being made of the Zeila mine, both on the surface and underground. The survey is being made with the permission of the Zeila Company, and is made with a view of determining the exact location of the end - Ut in the Los Banos district, weighed two pounds and The district is reached wi R wi Jackson Company's ground, which adjoins the Zeila on the north. Upon the com- less be gome time next week, work will begin the Fleming property without further delay. Extending the Ditches. The Tuolumne Independent says: The Yosemite Gold Mining Company, owns several hundred acres of gravel mining land south of the county line in Mariposa, at what is known as the gravel range, Is con- templating_extending the ditch from the mine at Little Gap to the Donohue Diggings. The company gets water from the Merced Com- pany’s ditch, the water for which is taken out of the south fork of the Tuolumne. Last year the ditch was completed down as far as the gravel range, and about a month ago a slide occurred at the flume, stopping opera- tions at the Yosemite mine. which M of Shimado Sekko, One of the Celebrated Japanese artistic circles. best effort of the classical school of Ja- pan, for the better all the art of the Orient for the last quarter of a fish and flowers by thing more extraordinarily his fish pictures it would be imagine. of artistic material as it is used in Japan have opportunity during the coming week of seeing in one of the some examples of this modern Japanese master's marvelous art. the purpose of methods, and before the artist hopes to vi studied for twenty-nine years 34—beginning his ‘art studies at the age of 5 with his artist-father. of and from 12 to 15 illustrating in Japanese newspapers. 6 pamted his first picture for the Academy of Tokio, the Government exhi- The Park Band will render the following programme this afternoon Overture, Characteristic Slavonian march. ..

C. Brokaw is now rushing work in the old Campbell hydraulic mine at Quartz Valley, with prospects of the best season for many years, by reason of the great abundance of water available. He has made the ditches larger with an additional supply from recent connection with a good sized lake on the Sal- mon range, to insure a longer run of water. There is also another lake fifty feet higher up the mountain he may likely connect in the future, which would afford an almost perpet- ual supply of water, when not blocked by fce and snow in midwinter. All the Scott Valley diggings_at Oro_Fino, Mugginsville, Patterson Creek, Pinery, McAdams Creek and Indian Creek and other creeks and gulches, will be worked on a larger scale than usual, by rea- son of the prospects of a longer run of water than for many years, on account of the great quantity of rain and snow since New Year's The Spengler Brothers, at the mouth of Hum- bug Creek, are putting in full time ground slufcing the banks and washing up bedrock gravel in sluices with good success. Mining an Orch: The Stowell copper mine in Shasta Coun- ty, so says the Redding Free Press, may soon change owners and go to parties who will continue to develop the property. The administratrix _of the estate of John Stowell has filed a petition for sale. There have been ap- Stowell val- are nine claims which praised at $65,000 recently. ued the mines at $120,000. The fruit ranch of John H. Leggett, so says the Chico Record, has been leased to W. P. Hammon and others to be work- ed in dredger mining. This ranch, of about 160 acres, lies along the Feather | River, just above Oroville, in the center of a little valley. It has long been known f the most productive in the county, being planted to vines and fruit. The place Fas paid Mr. Leggett from $15,000 to $20,000 during the last few years. The greater part of the ranch has never been worked as a mine. The terms of the lease are that Leggett shall receive one-half of the proceeds and that time of duration of the agreement shall be thirty years. A_propecting party has been organized at Los Angeles to explore Inyo County and in the Providence Mountains of southwestern Nevada for valuable met- als. Traveling with a cook and a team- ster, the party, which embraces practi- cal miners and assayers, will start with an equipment that will enable them to stay in the fleld for months at a time. A start was recently made, going down the Antelope Valley with the intention of crossing Cajon Pass and going to Barstow | en route for Death Valley. Future opera- tions will depend upon what ledges they encounter. The Stockton Independent gives the following account of the troubles of the Stockton Grave] Mining Company, which operates the Philadelphia diggings in Tuolumne County: Frank J. Schoettgen has begun suit in Tu- olumne County in the Superior Court for dam- ages for digging up the soil and for running water over the land. company owns about 600 acres of placer di fifteen miles from Columbia. This land laid idle many years until the Stockton company took hold, and h their energetic and untiring efforts the foundation for a great and permanent industry n established. company found the mine rich in masnificent possibilties, but requiring the expenditure of vast sums of money and no end of labor and time before any return whatever could be ex- pected for their outlay. Undaunted, however, and with commendable grit. they set to work. Miles of ditch were dug, roads buflt and flumes constructed. A tunnel several hundred feet long Was run through adamantine rock, costing 325 per foot, to tap the channel at its lowest point. Dollars were spent by the thou- sand, giving employment to hundreds of men and proving of inestimable benefit to that sec- tion, and, in fact, to the entire county.
