REDDING, April 18.—A carload of seveny-eight miness and smeltermen was taken to Keswick this morning ana every one of that number is now at work for the Mountain Copper Company. A sig- | nificant fact in this connection is that out of the seventy-eight men sixty of them belong to the American Federation of Labor and carry union cards. | They were not met at the depot by strikers, but proceeded to the company’'s plant unmolested. As soon as they ar- rived et the smelter they marched in a body to the town of Keswick and inter- | viewed the merchants regarding the con- | ditions that exist in and about the com- ) pany’'s works. They then made a trip through the plant and talked to the men employed.

Plan to Dredge the Feather River Near Colfax ° for Gold. SRl el B0 The past week has been productive of events of more than common interest-to | the miners of California. The strike in | the mines of Amador County on the| mother lode has resulted in shutting down properties. By reason of the action of the Western Federation of Miners the Gwin mine in Calaveras County is also closed. A special dispatch to The Call has told of the practical end of the trou- | bles at the plant of the Mountain Copper | Company at Keswick. The Copper Com- pany is planning extensive enlargement of its work. A meeting of the California Mine Ope- rators’ Association will take place in this | city next Monday, when the strike in the mother lode mines will be considered fur- ther. Some idea of the prospects of proper- ties on the mother lode for future de- place may be gained from the local pa-| pers. The details furnished by these just before the strike was actually begun show that interest was manifested in ‘gold mine properties in the Amador County section | elsewhere on the mother lode, as| evinced by bargains for properties under | bond and by the work of development | that was projected. The closing of mines has had a very depressing effect all along the lode. The Tuolumne Independent says: MINE IS BONDED. S. W. Blakely of San Joaguin has bonded to Willlam L. Holmes of Detroit the John Royal quartz mine, situated on the Eugene C. | Day place, two and a half miles northeast of | Columbia, together with water and other rights; also the Stockton quartz mine, adjoin. ing. The purchase price is fixed at $50.000, te to he $8500 in cash before Octo ber 1, 1803, and the balance to be paid out of the ore extracted. The cash payment Is for the purpose of securing the Gelivery of a deed of the John al mine to 8. W. Blakely from E. C. Day, Jane A. Curtz, C. W. Troyer et al. | S. W.

FINDS THE CHANNEL. | The Redding Kree Press says that M. | | | riod of | | S. Hotchkiss of Trinity County has, after | five years of constant prospecting, struck | the main pay channel on Trinity River. The story of the strike is interesting as teld in the al papers, as follows: From the starting of a spring the whole gully was thoroughly mined. For two years after the guich had been worked out the miner stuck | to the loc with the true prospector's per- sistency his labor availed him no returns und Judgment of an_experienced | asoned that the de grevel in the- small and to find this source of another long period of fruitless search and prospecting. ¥ owever, his labors were rewarded by finding the large and ex- tensive chann m which the gully had been supplied. He could not do much work on the property on_account of the scarcl water, but when this last season’s rains commenced the development work started and the vast extent of the channel revealed itself. The channel or deposit of gravel lies in an Irreg- ular line running parallel’ with the course of the Trinity er. The gravel channel {s thirty-five and tops a queer formg- tion ‘whereon the richest deposit of gold lies, This under formation has the appearance of an fron formation, but it is decomposed and very ric The Sacramento Mining and Dredging Cempany has been incorporated to dredge on the Fowler and Gailagher claims on the Feather River near Colfax. The prop- v on which operations are to be con- ducted has been buried for many years beneath the tailings of the large hydraul- ic mines at Towa Hill and the Gold Run district, or from the date of.the begin- ning of hydraulic mining. Under this iting of tailings it is believed is much of the original gravel of the river bed. The Umon Blue Gravel mine above North Bloomfield is about to make addi- tions to its plant. The property now has ten-stamp mill on it and the stamps 1ave been dropping steadily for some time, according to the Nevada City Tran- script. The milling capacity will be en- larged owing to encountering good gravel in runningithe main gravel channel. The ground for the new mill. will be cleared at Fifty-five men have been employed. The Julian Miner reports that a rich placer has been found in the Ballena Movntains, near Baliena, by Sacramento ospectors on the land of J. C. Ferguson. THE SACRAMENTO WASH. Of (he discoveries in what is known as the Sacramento wash, in the broad drain- age running southeasferly from the New York Mountains to the Colorado River, in the eagtern portion of San Bernardino County, the Mining and Scientific Press, after investigation, says: The wash is dry, excepting In time of heavy rains, which are Infrequent. Tt drains an area several hundred square miles in a gold re- glon, and the announcement that dry placers have been found is not surprising.

Whatever may be the value of the newly reported discoveries, the claims are Jikely, as a whole, to be disappointing, though, as usual, a few may do well. The region is typically desert—coarse sand, with scattering cobbles, and an occasional bowlder, sparsely scattered sage brush and Spanish bayonet, with here and there a tuft of gamma grass. Water is scarce and only obtainable by sinking wells in favorable spots, as springs are few. In summer the heat is intense. In fact, it Is not & country to invite residence, and nothing but & “gold rush” would induce then and women to.gempt fate in going to such a place. Dry placers in the desert rcgion are much the same everywhere. The gold freed from its matrix in the vein by disintegration is moved downward on the siope of the hill together with the crumbling rocks. Heavy rains carry the detritus to the valley, leaving the rocks bare, an easy prey to further disintegration from extremes of heat and cold, tempestuous winds and torrents of rain. All of the drainage channels of the re- gion are torrential, and the large amount of water quickly collects during one of the. down- pours characteristic of the desert and moves great volumes of the accumulated debris on- INSOMNIA “'T have been using Oascarets for Insomnia, with which I have been afilicted for over twenty years and [ can say that Cascarets have given me more Telief than any other remedy J\have ever tried. 1 shall certainly recommend them to my friends az being all they are represented.” ‘Thos.

KESWICK, April 18.—The miners and prospectors of Shasta County on both sides of the Sacramento River are in a peck of trouble because the railroad com- pany has advertised its intention to apply for patents and odd numbered sections of its grant in this county. Sixty days' no- tice is given, during which time miners must file their interest§, establishing their rght to their locations because of the min- eral character of the land. Hundreds of miners now find that they must act at once in order to save their rights. This means a great deal of trouble and no little expense. Claims that have been mined since the earliest days, and which have never been patented, are in- volved with the rest. In order to file a legal protest they must establish the cor- ners to each claim, which necessitates the employment of a registered surveyor, the platting of the claim, and the further em- ployment of an attorney to draw up the legal documents necessary in establish- ing the rights to the claims. In order to minimize the expense, the miners in the several districts are com- bining and making a united protest, cov- ering all the claims In the distrcts. A great hardship {ncident to the railroad re- ceiving Its patent, lies in the fact that all future prospecting on odd numbered sec- tions will be cut off and no new mining claims can over b located. At the low- est calculation over 58 unpatented min- ing claims are involved in the issue in Shasta County. YOSEMITE ALL ABLOOM IN GLOWING SPRINGTIDE Famous Valley Presents a Beautiful Picture to the Arriving Sightseers. YOSEMITE, April 18.—Never, at this season of the year, has finer weather pre- vailed in the Yosemite Valley. The follage is beautiful, the trees showing the vari- ous green tints for which the Yosemite is famous, and the grass is growing rapidly. The weather has been sufficiently mild to cause the snow to melt and in conse- quence the falls and streams of the valley are running full. The snowfall ip the val- ley this year was of sufficient dépth to re- main on the ground for a long time even under the.warm rays of a spring sun. Al- ready visitors are entering the valley and a wonderful season is expected. Many Eastern sightseers are here and are de- lighted with the valley.
