Above this they place cobbles and bowlders, keeping the finer material down and anchoring it more securely than If the dredgers had not handled it. If the dredgers are found to be do- ing any damage they can easlly be walled in and so made harmless by causing all the material that has been dredged to be replaced on the spot from which it was raised. The floods of the last season, also says Mr. { Yale, brought down a large quantity of sand and other material from above Oroville. New deposits of white sand above Oroville have been observed {above the scene of the operations of the dredgers. The sand was of the sort that has recently been complained of by property-owners along the river banks, who attributed it to the dredg- ers. Mr. Yale is convinced that the owners of the old dredgers desire to give no offense and will certainly do all in their power to prevent damage to any one. EXTENT OF INDUSTRY. Some figures submitted are of inter- est. It is said that the product of the gold mfl‘ in the year 1904 will probal ount to more than $1,000,000." In three years the an- nual output of the dredgers will exceed in value the fruits of hydraulic and drift mining combined. The total value of gold and silver mined\in Call- fornia in 1902, the last year for which complete statistics are available, was $17,526,732. The quartz mines yielded $13,000,000 in round figures, the drift mines $900,000, the hydraulic mines the dredgers $801,000. Probably the product of the gold dredging in 1903 was double that of 1902. This conclusion is arrived at after considering the increased num- ber of dredgers and their augmented capacity. Some striking statements are made by the statistician in an interview pub- lished in the Sacramento Bee. He said: Dredge mining 1s one of the greatest and | most striking triumphs of human ingenuity in | the application of machinery. A miner work- ing with pick and shovel, and washing the material in any of the old ways by hand, dis- poses of two and a half cublc yards a day. One of the dredgers lirts and washes 1000 times as much in twenty-four hours, or 2500 cuble yards, The dredgers run night and day, three shifts of men being employed, each working eight hours. I am informed that the average yleld of the gravel dredged at Oroville is about 27 cents per cubic yard, and the cost of working it s given as 7 cents per yard. This allows of a profit of many thou- sands of dollars ver mcre. As high as $2500 an acre has been paid for good dredge min- ing ground. A singular fnstance is related at Oroville of a man who had an orange orchard of twelve acres, which he had advertised for sale at $100 an acre. He found the land was valuable for dredging purposes, and raised his price to $2000 an acre, which was recently pald by a dredge mining company that bought he orchard, The difference between the old price and the new was just $22 800. An was also sold for like high figures. T see no rea- son why such conversion of land to more profitable uses should be deplored by any- body. Certainly the owners of those orchards would never have got from the products of the trees in a lifetime as much profit as they realized from the sale of the land for min- Ing purposes, and the dredge owners will make a handsome profit. VIEWS OF DILLMAN. On the other hand, Mr. Dillman of the Sacramento Board of Supervisors, who went with a committee to visit the scene of dredging operations near Oroville, says in an interview that is published in the Bee: The committee went into the situation quite thoroughly, continued Mr. Dillman, not only at the point of dredge operations, but also above and below—above Where no dredging has beeh carried on, and below, where the and deposits exist. ' It was evident to the committee, and I think an examination will | convince any unprejudiced person, that the de- | posits complained of by the farmers are iden- tical in character with lodged by the dredges, and not with ground farther up, above Oroville, there are no boats In operation.

Billman of Sacramento Takes Other Side of Argument mittee, as I have sald, visited all three points, and scon satisfled ftself that the sand on the farms came from the dredger flelds. It 1s the same class of material in which the boats are working, and not the same as higher up and which some of the miners have #ald was washed down upon the lowlands. They also have sald that the question at issue was one of fact, capable of demonstration. 1 agree with them. Anyone who will exam- ine the situation honestly can easily satisfy himself of the fact that the deposits on the farming lands came from sand sent down the river by the ts. According to the Placerville Nugget, prospecting for gold dredger mining in El Dorado County is progressing. In substance the Nugget says: H. E. Picket was an arrival on last even- ing’s train. Mr. Picket is stopping near Fol- | som and for the last four weeks has been su- | perintending the prospecting with Keystone | drills of a tract of land that he contemplates mining by dredger process. Prospecting will also begip to-day on a tract of land neat the river at Coloma that Mr. Picket has under bond and should results prove favorable a_dredger will be put to work on the ground. The pros- pects of El Dorado having a hand in dredge mining eeem bright at the present time. The San Franclsco people who recently bonded the Williamson place on Webber Creek at Gay- | lords Bridge have inspected the tract and are making preparations to install a number of Keystone drills to prospect the ground. Thers | are about 135 acres in the tract. and the gravel denosit averagea from 18 to 25 feat over fhe | entira teane. GRAVEL IN CALAVERAS. An era.of gravel mining in Cala- veras County is dawning, so says the Calaveras Prospect: It is well known that along the trend of the | mother lode in this county are numerous buried | rivers, rich in aurifercus gravel, but for several reasons these deep channels have never been profitably worked on any large scale. | The lack of sufficient fall has prevented the | extensive opening of these mines by the hy- | draulic process, and the same reason has pre- | vented their drainage without long and expen- | sive tunnels. In many places the higher chan- nels have been worked and millions of dollars | have been taken out, but the deep channels In | the vicinity of San Andreas, along Central Hill | and in other localities have grn\‘ed a too ex- pensive proposition to be profitably handled. In_addition to being so low that they could | not be drained, most of the gravel is a hard cement that is not easily washed, and must either lie exposed to the air for a year before washing or else be run through a mill before yielding up its treasure. The delay for the purpose of letting the gravel slack is not profit- able, as it means the tying up of capital, which | cannot be well afforded, and the mill process | has proved expensive and unsatisfactory. | Continuous prospecting and exploration has pretty well defined these gravel channels, so that the course of the burled rivers and their numerous branches is well determined. Within & few years there has been great improvement | in the construction of gravel mills, and, best | of all, in the facilities for handiing water. It/ has now become possible to handle the water in | these deep channels by pumping without the great expense heretofore involved, and the | gravel mill of to-day can easily and economi- | cally handle the deposits from the mines. Several mines have been opened along the | channel in the vicinity of San Andreas recent- | ly, and have demonstrated that not only can the water be handled with ease and economy, but that there is a vast amount of gold in the gravel awaiting the investor of capital. Along the old channel from Calaveritas to Central Hill there are numerous mines, all of which have been more or less explored in years past, | that will doubtless socn be in operation, now that it has been demonstrated that the water can be handled and the gravel milled at small expense. VARIOUS OPERATIONS. It is reported that work will be re- | sumed on the Kensington mining prop- erty at Berners Bay, Alaska, by virtue | of an agreement reached by the man- | agement of the Treadwell mines and | the Nowells. Operations will soon begin at the Black Oak mine, in Calaveras County. A traction road between Ivanpah and the borax mines of the Pacific Coast | Borax Company, in Inyo County, has | been completed. The Three Stars mine in Placer County, at Ophir, is reported to be working sixty men and to be crushing ninety tons of ore per day. A new company has bought and will operate the East Orleans mine, on Gold Flat, Nevada County. J. C. Campbell, superintendent of the Mountaineer | mine, at Nevada City, is at the head of | the enterprise. At the Oneida mine, near Jackson, Amador County, 130 men are employed and the sixty-stamp mill is kept run- ning steadily. At the Kennedy mine the forty-stamp mill will be taken | down and added to the sixty-stamp mill, making 100 stamps to be operated on the mine. | The Calaveras Prospect sdys regard- ing the shutting down of the Red Gold, | near Murphys: The Red Gold mine near Murphys Is shut down, ostensibly at first through an over | abundance of water In the shaft and level Later developnfents would warrant the sumption that financial troubles are the real cause. Mr. Stone, the local superintendent, be- lieves that everything will soon be satisfactor- | ily adjusted and work resumed. The Calaveras Chronicle reports the | bonding of the Ready Bullion and Riv- erside mines, on the South Fork of the Tuolumne River, near Raflroad Flat by C. W. Higgins. The Alleghany Mining Compdny has bought the Telegraph mining claim in | Nevada County, from Bovee and King. | According to the Mother Lode Ban- ner, deals for mining properties in Tu- | olumne County have been made as fol- lows: A. C. Johneon of Carters has sold to H. M. Hall of Madera a one-half interest in the Mohlcan quartz mine, near Carters. C. A.| Holland and others have sold to W. T. Carter the New Era, Chilcoot Pass and Plateau quartz mines and a right to 500 inches of the water of Hunter Creek. The deed to the Rhods Island, Eureka and Mississippl quartz claims from ‘Sylvester Carlon, as administrator of the estate of J. F. Callahan, deceased, to the Santa Ana Manutacturing Company has been filed. Portland people believe that there will be attracted to their home city be- tween 4000 and 5000 visitors by the American Mining Congress, to be held | | | | in August. This will be the seventh | annual congress. The Bangor Consolidated Gravel Company has been incorporated to ope- rate in Butte County, about thirteen miles from Oroville. Those concerned in the scheme say that a tunnel three miles long will be necessary and that operations will be on a large scale. IMPORTANT DECISION. An interesting decision has been made by the Supreme” Court of the United States relative to the failure of copartners to contribute their propor- tion of assessment work, which is re- viewed by the Mining and Sclentific Press, as follows: The case was that of W. S. Elder, aa- ministrator of the estate of R. Wilsey &t ol vs. Horseshoe Mining Company et al. of South Dakota. Wilsey and one C. H. Havens lo- cated a claim in the Bald Mountain district, even miles south of Deadwood, S. D., in 1878, Shortly thereafter Wilsey died, but Havens continued to do assessment work for elght years, when he served notice on the heirs of Wilsey demanding their share of the expenses in performing the work—$400. They pald nothing and neglected to take advantage of this opportunity to secure their original half interest in the property, and subsequently, in 1880, Havens advertised them out. Later, methods of successfully treating the telluride ores of that section having been discovered, the claim_increased rapidly in value. In Decem- ber, 1903, the heirs of Wilsey offered to pay their share of annual assessment from the date of location of the claim, which offer was refused. Havens then sold the property and sued for an undivided the claim.

To-day over fifty people, including well-known business men of Butte, were scurrying northward, some on horseback, some in vehicles and others on foot. So far no sensational discover- | ies have been made, but the showings on the Bull Run claim have been suf- ficient to lead prospectors to believe that large copper deposits lle beneath the surface in that territory. The lo- cation of the find is at the top of a hill, | just across Bull Run, and is within a few hundred feet of the road. The leads are belleved to be an extension of the famous copper bodies of Butte. For years this district has been pros. pected for gold and silver and little at- | tention was pald to copper, and it was by the merest accident that the dis- covery was made. —_—————— Mine Foreman Is Killed by Cave-In. | REDDING, May 27.—As Cyrus Lan- yon Sr., foreman at the Evening Star | mine in the Old Diggins district in this county, was at work in a stope yesterday afternoon, rock and earth, estimated to weigh 100 tons, caved in upon him. Rube Wair, who was working in when the cave-in occurred, heard the earth giving way and stepped into a | small cleft in the side of the stope and was uninjured. —_———————— Accidentally Start a Forest Fire. SANTA CRUZ, May 27.—A party of | men and women from Santa Cruz on the way to the Yosemite Valley by | carriages, while making a side trip in the Hetchy Hetchy Valley, accidentally caused a forest fire. They successfully battled with the flames, but lost their entire camping outfit. They were in distress two days before asulslance; was secured. court décided in favor of plaintiffs, but the decision was reversed by the Supreme Court of South Dakota. The case being carried to the Supreme Court of the United States the judgment of the State Supreme Court was sus- tained. The fact that a tender was made in settlement after being dispossessed of their interest by legal process was given no con- sideration, and the claim of plaintiffs that no names were mentioned in the publication of the notice was declared by the court to have no force and that the names of thée heirs were not necessary. The notice was addressed to “Rufus Wilsey, his heirs, administrators and to whom it may concern.” The claim of plaintiff that at the time of publfcation of the notice there was no administrator of the estate. the former administrator having died and his successor not having been appointed, | was equally unavailing.
