The Copper- opolils mines are on what is known among miners as the east copper belt, while the pay- ing mine at Campo Seco is on the west cop- per beit. The west belt mines carry consider- able gold and “silver, which pay for the work- ing of the ore and leave the copper product clear profit. Progress of Dredgers. The progress of the dredgers in the north is reported by the Yreka Journal as being satisfactory. Preparations are making for the construction of a_ huge dredger ‘at South Fork of Scott River, the lumber for which will be hauled in from Gazelle. The dredger at Hawkins- ville, on Yreka Creek, has started up again and is cleaning up bed rock gravel. The water has been pumped out of the basin to permit of this. Several hydraulic claims on Klamath River are idle be- cause there have recently been cold nights that prevented the melting of the snow. There i{s an abundance of water when the snow is melted. The Etna Advange says that the Orcutt brothers are run- ning a tunnel on their ledge at Graham Gulch, near Yocumville. The Colfax Sentinel reports that a car- load of machinery was moved to the Mountain Maid mine across the Bear Riv- er and about four miles from Colfax. The mine is owned by harles Pusheck. The Calaveras Chronicle says that the Red Cloud mine has been bonded by the Charity Gold Mining Company from T. T. Porteus. It is between the Carey and Porteus farms. A quartz strike is reported by the Moun- tain Messenger, which, it says, promises greatly for the future of Sierra City. The strike was on a ledge about two miles rfi?rtheast of Sierra City, on the Yuba ver. I The Randsburg Miner says that work is about to be started up on the Ary Butte mine on the Argus range. 'his property belongs to John Rosenfeld’s Sons of this city and has been in charge of George Lewis. There is a mill on the property and wood and water, but the ore is refractory, and it has been deter- mined that it will not pay to run it sent to a smelter. Work has been sus- pended since last December. The Sonora (Tuolumne County) papers report that the Riverside mine, located on the Stanislaus River, has been closed. The bonders desired an extension of time, but this the owners refused to allow. SixX men are placer mining in a lot on Wash- ington street, Sonora, and are taking out gold. Operations will soon begin at the Mapes mine at Yankee Hill. Properties Are Sold. Standard Electric employes are running lines to the Baliol mines at Sutter Creek and also the Keystone mine at Amador City, so reports the Amador Dispatch. Both properties will be operated with electric power. Two considerable sales of mining prop- erty on the coast are reported. The ‘White Horse Copper Company, with head- quarters in Vancouver, B. C., has sold six- teen claims on the White Horse River to an English syndicate for $160,000, all of which are contiguous, The other sale was made in Utah, where a half interest on the Surprise group was turned over for $100.000 by S. L. Adams to John McComb of Denver. The machinery for a_smelter has been shipped from Denver. The Dixie mines were recently sold for $200,000, and the Salt Lake Tribune says that the price put upon part of the Surprise property makes the whole the value of the Dixle. ;‘::’e‘:-e are nine claims in the 'Surprise D.

Mrs. Kincaid was assisted in ‘receiving some 200 guests by Miss Jeffers, who aid the honors at the tea-table charmingly. Directors Mark and Denman were present and the affair was a marked success.

PREPHRING SITE FOR BIG GO During the latter part of 1900 a board of engineers of the United States army lo- cated sites for the extensive system of fortifications which .the Government had decided to construct at Point Bonita. Forts and bomb proof pits are to be erect- ed, upon which a large number of twelve- inch breech-loading guns and thirteen- inch mortars are to be placed. These for- tifications, from an elevation of 300 feet, will command an enormous range and will make an entrance into the harbor of San Francisco by an enemy’s fleet prac- tically lmposslb13 % Work on these forts is expected to com- mence about the first of June, when 175 mea will be employed. As soon as the new wharfy now nearly completed, is fin- ished so as to allow the handling of ma- terial, extensive buildings for the ac- commodation of the men will be erected. Bunk and eating houses, besides offices and storage buildings are planned and a considerable settlement -on the barren hills at Point Bodita will spring up. The wharf and tramway which the Gov- ernment is erecting is a work of great im- portance and presented serious engineer- ing difficulties to surmcunt. The wharf is located on the north side of Point Bo- nita on the lee side of the precipitous rock which forms the point, and which here rises to an .elevation.of 255 feet. Many engineers expressed the opinion that a wharf built at this place would be swept. away by the furious storms that are supposed to rage ahout the locality, but Major C. E. L. B. Davis, who has the direction of the work, persisted and inclined tramway 575 feet in length and 255 feet at its highest point, where a sta- tionary engine will be placed for hauling the trucks. No particular difficulties were met with until the contractors attempted to drive piles under section two, where rock bot- tom was found in unexpected localities, but a system of bracing with steel rods overcame that trouble. The new wharf was commenced in De- cember of last year and work has been unremitting except for a few stormy days. It will be finished on May 25. his opinion was vindicated, as none of the stor;xps of the past winter had the slight- est effect on the new structure. The new wharf has a total length of 381 feet and is built in three sections. The first is the pler head, 100 by 50 feet, built on piles and in the most substantial man- ner. The platform is fifteen feet above mean low water. Section two is 77 by 26 feet and is also built on piles. Section three is built on trestles and is 204 feet long by eighteen feet wide, with an in- cline of one in_ten. Extending beyond section three and directly connected is the Smoked Glasses: 20 Styles---All at 50 Cents: Why not have a pair and Save your Eyes from Dust, Wind and Bright Sun? BERTELING OPTICAL CO.
