THE BARNES MINE.-IEo Barnes
mine, situated a short distance west OF
Hope Valley, has been worked during
the. Winter months, although many
! feet of snow surrounded the hosting
works. The company intends, once
the snow will admit, of hauling ore to
a mill, some seventeen miles distant,
for treatment. and if satisfactory re-
suits are obtained to warrant, the mill
will be taken down and rebuilt at the
mine. The mill vas originally built
bv another company, at a cost OF Sbo,-
600, but was recently purchased by
the Barnes Company at a much less
price. Mr.. E. Barnes, superintendent
of the mine, arrived i'll town on thurs
day evening, and last night started
for San Francisco, where he Will re
main for about a month, or until the
snow has sufficiently melted to admit
of bringing III supplies over the olu
Placerville road. Mr.. Barnes says the
snow is fast disappearing in Hope VAL
lev-the lower end being entirely
bare, while the upper end has but
about fifteen inches left on the ground.

say so, and they are all truthful.
