CLIPPED AND CONDENSED.
Speaking OF the new mining district of
Coso, Inyo county, California. the Stock
Exchange says: There are two CON-
psnies incorporated in San Francisco,
which are now actively at work. First,
the New Coso Mining Company, owning
tho Lucky Jim and Christmas Gift
mines, and the Coso Consolidated Com
pany, owning the Bella Union, Raleigh,
and other locations. Work is now being
actively prosecuted on these mines. In
the former the lodges run from one foot
to six feet in width. of ore assaying from
$110 to $3.50 in silver, with 65 per cent.
of lead. The Bella Union has three
foot ledge Of ore, averaging $135 per ton,
while the Raleigh's average width is six
feet of lower grade ore. The New Coso
Company has erected two furnaces with
in easy reaching distance of its mines,
at cost of 5000 These furnaces will
start up with capacity OF 60 tons per
day. Experts who have examined the
district express the utmost confidence in
its permanency and great value. No
trouble is anticipated in smelling the
ores, and bullion returns will soon
prove the present value OF the district.
The Coso Consolidated Mining Company
ia pushing the work Of development ac-
lively forward, and at the proper time
will erect furnaces and other necessary
works. These companies mean bust
ness. and will be worked for the best in
terests OF the stockholders. Other mines
in the district have been bonded and
purchased by San Francisco capitalists,
and it will not be very long before OAR
win looms up az mining camp that will
rival Phoebe in its palmisst days.
The Grass Valley Union says: The
oldest mine in Grass Valley now working
is the Empire. 1t has had its ups and
downs. Sometimes the owners OF it want
ed to pull up the pumps and abandon
were issued to shut down, the mine would
begin to pay well. The result has been
that the Empire has been paying steadily
for years, bearing its own expenses. gen.
orally. and now is on the dividend pay
ing list. A cleanup was made last Sat-
urday after running twenty-one days by
the mill. and the result is about $23, 900
gold. This pay is largely PROFIT. The
underground appearances of the mine
are most excellent, and we believe that
the next months work will show a gain
over last. The Empire mine is not only
economically managed, but energy is dis
played in every department of the mine.
Therefore the old Empire is on paying
basis.
In the Wagontown, Idaho, mines, the
shaft on tho st. Clair is down As feet,
in the bottom of which the ledge is from
IS inches to two feet in width, showing
richer ore than was found on the surface,
which milled upwards of $40 per ton.
They are down nine feet on the veins OF
the Stoddard claim, showing ledge from
eight inches to foot in width OF fine
looking ore. The claim consists of five
parallel veins, a few feet apart, and it is
thought that these veins will form one
solid ledge at no great distance from the
surface. The Webfoot shaft is down 80
feet in solid ore OF excellent quality. the
width of which has not yet been ascer-
tanned, they having not yet cut across it.
