Encouraging’ information concerning California mining regions has been re- ceived during the last few days. Accord- ing to good authority, great interest iIs manifested in the mining outlook along the Klamath River. Kvery bar and| bench along that stream is reported to, have been taken up. Next season, it} is locally predicted,.the mining activity on the Klamath will exceed anything be- | fore known in that section, from the crossing of the Southern Pacific Com- pany’s line at Hornbrook for 100 miles through Siskiyou County and Into Del Norte and Humboldt counties. The Tuolumne New KEra reports con- cerning interest and the outlook in Tuol- umne County: That portion of the great and famous east belt within the boundaries of Tuolumne County is advancing rapidly into an era that wiil stand prominently at the head of all bright and prosperous periods in its history beyond the possibility of a doubt. There are more ¢apitalists looking this way for investment now than at any time in many years past. In support of this statement several important deals consummated within the last few months are pointed out and if this is not sufficient | a few more months, perhaps only weeks, will | bring about changes'that will help wonderfully. Concerning Sierra County mining the Mountain Messenger says: - Advices are to {he effect that the storm of Thanksgiving week has not brought very | much rellef to the districts affected by the lack of power from the drought. Here and there a mill or two has been started up, but the shutdowns continue generally along the mother lode, and to some extent in Nevada County, The sifuation is practically unchanged in Sierra County. The mines affected are running on reduced forces, but otherwise the status of mining in both branches is in a very satisfactory state. Underground develop- ment has not been interfered with, and judg- ing from the amount of supplies that are be- ing sent out on pack animais from Downle- ville to outiying mines operations are on the increase. Most of the mines have got their winter, supplies in, but there are yet many which are hoping that the clear weather Will con- tinue a week or go longer in order that they may be able to get what they lack before being snowed up for the balance of the win- ter. Prospectors in many parts of the dis- tricts are pushing assessment work on_thelr clatms. Cheerful news-comtinues to come in | from the southern belt, particularly from Forest, American Hill, Alleghany and Chipps Flat. The South Fork gravel mine in Forest is showing up better all the time. The drifts being run on the gravel indicate a blg de- posit, and wherever tested by panning show 00d values. #°Nothing has done so much for Forest In| many years as the big strike in this mine. | It has put fresh courage into miners owning | or developing other properties on the Big | Blue lead in the Forest and contiguous dis- tricts. Outside money is coming in more freely, both for purchase and development. Several deals are on the carpet and a num- ber of new companles are being formed on the outside to take hold of old propertics and resurrect them. At Alleghany the Tight- ner is still in bonanza and the Rainbow 1s opening more good ground for action. At Sherra “City the new forty-stamp mill of the | Sierra Buttes, or at least half of it, will T evirything Tooks. lovely for this time of year. SMELTER IS PROPOSED. | Inyo County is anticipating a large benefit from the smelter that is proposed for Keeler. The Los Angeles Times says: | In Owens River Valley, in Inyo Countd, whither are turned the eyes of all of Los Angeles to the source of the clty’s future water supply, many Angelenos and others have been attractéd by the mining fever and are seeking the mineral wealth that lies in the mountain range for miles around Owens Lake. ‘While the discoveries of Harris and nt- gomery in the Panamint have started & boom, heralded far and near, that s reopening old mines and starting the development of pros- pects on all sides, the region around Keeler and along the line of the Carson and Colorado Rallroad is the seat of active development. So far there have been few wildcat proper- ties announced in this region. Most of the companies now working are close corporations. In years gone by considerable development was carried on. Some good mines were ope- rated for silver and lead principally, although the ores carry some gold; then came the period of widespread depression in mining and the owners shut down to await better times. One of the leading properties is the Cerrg Gordo, formerly owned by D. O. Mills of the Southern Pacific. It was the first to.attract outside attention, owing to Its great output, it being credited with over $20.000,000, al- though, ' as_with other mines, thousands of tons were left on the dumps’ on account of being too low grade to be handled by the methods formerly used. The cavitalists who have purchased the mine are preparing again to operate it. The new owners, under the name of the Great Western Purchasing and Reduction Company, are buiflding a 100-ton smelter for custom trade. From last reports this is likely to be completed during the early part of the com- ing_year. The product of this region Is an ideal smelt- Ing ore. It is a silver-lead carbonate, running very low in silicon and very high in'iron and lime—just the kind that smelters are crying for and which they must have in order to work such highly siliclous ores as those of Tonopah, thousands of tons of which are being refused ' treatment by the Balt Lake City smelters for lack of sufficient flux, and are piling up on the dumps while a market is be- ing sought. Under the ejrcumstances it is likely that the operators of Tonopah will have to look to the mines of the Owens River Val- ley for relief. MINING YUBA GRAVELS. The State Mining Bureau has issued a map and register of the mines and min- erals of Yuba County, one of a valuable series. Some general information given by the bureau about Yuba in the register is as follows: Yuba County has an area of 625 square miles, extending from the Feather River on the West to Slerra County. It is bounded on the north by Butte County and on the south by Placer County, It had a population in 1900 of 8620, and for’ 1904 the assessed valuation was $3,005,087. About 50 per cent of the county s valley land bordering on the Yuba anG Feather rivers. The topography is diversi fled and elevations range from 60 feet on the Feather River to 4800 feet above sea level in the extreme northeast corner of the county, with corresponding climatic conditions. Marys- ville, the county seat, is a town of about 3500 inhabitants, situated ‘at the confluence of the Feather and Yuba rivers and at the head of shoal water navigation. In the palmy days of the hydraulic miner Yuba County was a_sceme of great activity, particularly in_the Smartsville and Campton= ville districts; but now the hydraulic giant has glven way to the quartz gnome in_the explol- tation of Yuba's mineral wealth. Pocket min- ing is carried on to some extent and the river bars are worked in the summer, while numer- ous placer claims afford employment to the miner during the winter months. A large area of auriferous gravel on the Yuba River near Marysville is being worked: by the dredge process. Two large dredges are now at work and elght mere are under construction and nearing completion. All of these dredges are expected 1o be in operation by January 1, 1906, The dredges are supplied with electrio power | and lighted by the Bay Counties Power Com- n pany. There are abundant opportunities for the de- velopment of water power, and plenty of wood for steam purposes, besides the power lHnes of the Bay Counties Power Company traversing the county can furnish electric power for mines, mills, etc, The Bay Counties Power Company divert the waters of the North Yuba River elght miles above Colgate, where their power-house is located. Bauxite and a pottery clay are found in the county; the bauxite is undeveloped. Occa- slonal shipments of the pottery from Wheatland to Lincoln. glay -':; made| r depooi and large ledges of marble and ;’?‘:fllu exist in the county, but are undeveloped, According to the Blue e " Advocate the Orleans Bar Gold Mining Company is the largest placer mining company in Humboldt County. It owns about 1400 acres of patented mining lamds in and about Orleans Bar, on the Klamath River. It has been in the county about six years, of which five years have been used up in prospecting and developing, and it is only within the last year that paying operations have been carried on. BIG BLUE PRO] TY. The Big Blue mine, in ville, Kern County, may soon be reopened, if the reports received by the Bakersfleld Bcho are verified. The Big Blue mine was one of the first of the mining prop- erties of Kern County to be developed. It was equipped with a 100-stamp mill. Great quantities of ore were taken out. The mine is not far from the Kern River. When the workings were carried down to the river level the water became | a serious impediment. It was then diffi- cult to get the proper pumps to keep | the water down. The owners did not| use the concentrators and a large part| of the value was lost. It is estimated that at least $00,000 worth of concen- trates went down the Kern River from this mine. For about twenty. years the property has remained unworked. Nego- tlations are reported to be in progress for a sale. The Lady Bell mine may also be sold. - The Amador Record reports that the shortage of water has compelled the mines of Amador County to shut down and that this involved throwing 300 to 400 men out of work. Regarding the sale of the old Gold Ball mine in Siskiyou County, the Yreka Journal reports: The Yreka Mining and Milling Company, owner of the old Gold Ball group of quartz | ledges in Liberty district, Salmon River, near | the Black Bear mine, compromised with Thom- as and Joseph Stephens in settlement for a §56,000 judgment rendered in the Superior Court some time ago. The Stephens brothers accept- ed $40,000 for their clalm and gave up their mine adjolning the Yreka Mining and Milling Company, including buildings, etc., when the latter turned the entife property over to the Californfa Consolidated Company, a corpora- tion organized under the laws of the State of Maine, with capital furnished by a Massachu- setts syndicate. The new company in charge will s00n commence operattons on an extensive scale by putting in electrical works and all the latest up-to-date machinery for saving gold. The property comprises the Mountain Laurel and Gold Ball mines of-the Yreka Mining and Milling Company and the Stephens group of mines,” all paying claims when worked. The first deed made in the transaction was f{rom Thomas and_Joseph Stephens to the Yreka Mining and Miiling Com and the second was to the California Consolidated Mining Company for the consideration of $160,000. The Placerville Nugget publishes the following regarding mining properties in El Dorado County: The North Weber Land and Mining Company, of which S. H. Maginess is president and George E. Plerce ia secrotary, have bonded the Golden Hatchet mine on North Weber Creek, near the Sportsman’s Hall, to Thomas G. Pat: ton of Placerville for $30,000 for some San Francisco people who have had it examined by John E. Sexton. At the Pacific House, where a drill has been in’ operation for several months, it Is sald a fine deposit of gravel has been located. At the Snow mine at Newtown, which has recently been bonded to some New Jersey people, an in- cline several hundred feet long is being run into the channel, which In that vicinity has al- ways been good: The mines referred to here are all in the zone that has received the attention of the TUnited States Geological Survey, the report of its engineers indicating the existence of a gold producing gravel channel &t the Pacific House and running from thege in a west southwest direction past the Golden Hatchet mine to Newtown, At the time of the makjng of the report in 1502 there was not an opéning in the channel between Pacific House and Newtown to aid the cngincers In arriving at the conclusions they have indicated in their report. REV. DR. NIETO LECTURES ON FESTIVAL OF HANUKAH Noted Rabbi Takes for His Theme “Lighting the Fires of Liberty.” The Rev. Dr. Jacob Nieto delivered a lecture last evening at Temple Israel on “Lighting the Fires of Liberty.” It being the Jewish festival of Hanukah, or dedication, when lights are kindled on an eight-branched candlestick to commemorate the vic- tory of the Maccabees and the re- dedication of the temple, Dr. Nieto made each separate light symbolize the progressive step of humanity to- ward the ideal goal—Iliberty. During the course of his remarks Dr. Nieto stated that but for the Mac- cabees both Christianity and Christian civilization had been an impossibility. —_——— Drunken Man Flourishes Revolver.

PORTLAND, Dec. 22.—Because her mother would not allow her to wear a new dress to school, twelve-year-old Genevieve Stinson jumped from the slip of the Albina ferry into the Willamette River this afternoon in a deliberate at- tempt to commit suicide. She was res- cued after she had gone down twice by Lefe Rapers, a sailor on a French sall- ing ship now in port. The girl had asked her mother, Mrs. Ida Bush, to wear a new dress, and when refused permission went to the ferry slip, wait- | ed till the ferry had started, and then, gathering her skirts about her, plunged head first into the river. Passengers on the!ferry raised the alarm, and Rapers dived off his ship to the rescue. The girl was revived in the captain’s cabin and returned to her home displeased at her lack of success.

Development Work in Kern River Distriet Explodes Theory Held by Experts £ 565 W WELL DOWNXN 3148 FEET Efforts to Locate Finer Grade of Petrolenm Meet With Successive Failures 2 BAKERSFIELD, Dec. —The theory long <ince advanced that a stratum of light ofl exists beneath the stratum of heavy oil in the Kern River fields has been practically exploded by development work on the Grace Oil Company’s lease. For many months this company has been engaged in sinking a deep well for the purpose of securing the lighter oil which it was believed existed.
