MINING ITEMS.

The property OF the Ca''iornia
Borax Company in Lake county has
been conveyed to the Sulphur Banks
Quicksilver Mining Company in or
5., that the name IF the company
may be known by that Of the iocai'ty
in which they are located.
The Belmont "Courier" says; "Ihe
Ell Dorado Company are pushing
their work o. development with a
good deal Of energy and determlna-
ton. The shaft work is being pushed
forward TO a depth of 400 ieet' when
will soon be accomplished The new
machinery works spendidiy and IS
about ready for service. THIS IS the
only company looking for bonanza
in the district
Geo. F. Dinsmore, in conjunction
with other parties, owns the Fhp-
nician lode, situated in Bunker Hill
district, for which proceedings to OBJ
tain patent are now pending. Last
week lot of rock from this ode was
brought in and tested at the assay Of
fee of the Manhattan Mill, which
gave the following results: First
class-silyer per ton, 81, ,413 9s, gold
per ton, 500 SO; total, <l,614 81.
Second class silver per ton, $50 30 I,
gold per ton, $62 70; total, $132 90.
The ledge is four feet in width and
the ore is free milling ore, III view OF
which it is big mine if the ore
would not average over 800 per
ton
The Idaho Avalanche" says: I'VE
learn that the suits of Alexander
Forbes and others against the Ma
hogany Gold and Silver Mining Com
pany have been dismissed, which
paves the way for an adjustment of
the company's affairs, and is expected
to lead to an early resumption OF ac-
tive operations at the mine. 1t is to
hoped that this desirable consum-
nation will soon be brought about
as it seems pity that mine with so
much good ore in sight, as has the
Mahogany, should be allowed to re-
main idle 30 long.
The Owhee Qdaho) "Avalanchee"
thus refers to the management Of
mines in that section: sin view OF
the disastrous results to the general
business of our camp during the past
few months, which, in our opinion,
are in a great measure due to the ne
fanous swindling and ruinOus mis-
management practiced by those who
have hitherto controlled majority
of our mines, we suggest that the
merchants, teamsters, mechanics and
other men of Silver City and Fair
view hold meeting to devise some
means for mutual protection in the
future. We have good mines, and,
with proper management, our camp
would, with perhaps one exception,
be nearer a self-sustsiniug one than
any other ON the Pacific coast. But
there has got to be change Some
thing must be done t. stop the sui
cidal course pursued in regard to our
mines, which, If continued, will in
evitably result in ruin to business
men Of our camp. Merchants had
better have the goods in their stores
than to sell them to mining compa-
MES and never get pay for them !;
teamsters had better allow their
stock to Craze in the valleys than to
be under the expense of Keeping them
up and working them wit out re-
muaeration; lumbermen had better
Keep their lumber on hand rather
than dispose of it for checks certain
to he protested; miners had better
'eaVe the country rather than work
tor nothing and board themselves,
ana so on to the end of the chapter.
we throw out these hints in hopes
that our people may consider the mat
yer and take some action in the prem
'ses without delay. Pursue proper
course and all will be we'll.
