mo, B. c., are preparing to open their new
mine, situate about mile and a half be-
yond the Chase river working. A shaft of
eighty feet has been sunk and the seam

to the shaft.
W. a. Nevills recently struck pocket
OF extraordinary richness in operating his
gravel claim at Red Hill, near Butte City,
says the Amador Ledger Out of very
small space he took 81, 900. Large chunks
of gold were met with, one worth S53,
another $40, while pieces from $40 to 500
were very numerous. But the largest
nugget taken from the claim-and indeed
the largest obtained in Amador county in
gravel mining for years-was picked up by
Mrs. Nevills. 1t weighed "a ounces, and
is valued at Sl42.
The Quincy Plumas county, National
says: First-class miners can find EN-
ployment in the GreenvilIe Mining Dis
trict. Green Mountain, particularly, is
short of men, while Cherokee will soon be
organizing a crew, and several other enter
prises are expected to start up shortly.
The Indian Valley mine alone will give
when operations are fully commenced, rs
intended, and several mining operations in
this neighborhood will increase the de-
mand.
The Prescott Democrat thus blows its
own bugle: No other portion of the
American Union contains so vast and
varied an amount of mineral wealth as Ar
izona. From one end of our Territory to
the other is one vast field of ore. Each
and every county can show its rich veins
of gold, silver, copper and lead and in
combination with these can be found every
specimen known to mineralogy. 1t is
questionable whether any country on the
globe can show so rich and varied a store of
metallic wealth.
The latest bonanza has been found in the
Northern Light mine at Copper City, says
the Shasta Courier, a cave of earth between
the tunnels having revealed an immense
body of silver ore, which assays from $50
to $40 to the ton. Specimens of the ore
brought into town has attracted much at
tention, native silver being visible all
through the rock. This discovery will
have good effect on the Situation" at Cop
per City, and is opportune. The silver

by accident, and perhaps the cave of the
Northern Light will lead to great results.
California and Eastern capitalists have
recently invested in mines in Sonora and
chihuahua to the value of over million
dollars. The title deeds and descriptions
Of the property are now being translated
by the most competent experts in San
Francisco. No particulars of the transac-
tons will be given to the press until abso-
lutte possession of the mines are taken a
Mexican journal states that the ex-Gov-
ernor Pesquiera of Sonora has sold his
mining property for s250.OQ0 to a party
of American capitalists, but this sale does
not include the purchases previously men,
toned. There are at present quite num-
Der of American prospectors, agents and
principals in the northern States of Mexico
hunting for mines.
