MINING NOTES.

There are over 200 prospectors in the
Wood river country, Idaho.
Times are dull in the Julian mine, San
Diego county, and only a few men are at
work.
It is stated that an offer of 500, coo was
recently made for the Providence quartz
mining property, on Deer Creek, Grass
Valley, and was refused. !
Considerable work is being done in the
mines in and around Albany Fiat, Gala
veras county, and according to reports,
the prospects are fattering.
The new mining law, requiring financial
statements to be posted every month, we
are informed is being totally disregarded
by some companies, says the San Francisco
Bulletin. Those whose business it is to
look after delinquents will do well to give
the law practical. application in these
cases,
Everything is lovely in the way Of gravel
mining says the Angels Camp Echo. The
claims are all in full operation, and the
chances are extremely favorable that they
will remain so the balance OF the season.
We shall be able to report the biggest
clean ups ever made IN Calaveras county
within the next month. +
A silver mine has been discovered re-
Gently near Shrobel ranch, ON Bear Noun
tain, and some five or six miles from
Angels, Calaveras county. The lead is
about fifteen feet in width, the cropping
from which assay over SIS per ton in silver
and about 81 in gold. The ore increases in
richness as they go down. The shaft is
now about thirty feet deep.
AS to the mining outlook on the Com
stock, the Gold Hill Meas says st
would be very wrong at this time to hold
out inducements to men to invest In stocks
in expectation of an immediate rise in
values based on important developments in
the main mines of the Comstock. Such
developments will undoubtedly be made,
but the time is not quite yet.
From an all but abandoned camp in Nye
county (Ophir Canyon), says the Virginia
Enterprise, A. Lognoz recently shipped to
Austin five tons of ore that yielded at the
mill at the rate of $500 per ton. There
are dozens OF deserted districts in Eastern
Nevada where small companies of miners
could make big wages by taking out and
shipping the ores lying near the surface.
The ledge recently discovered on the
Hassayampa, by Hussey, Reese and Wick
| Ter, promises to become valuable prop
erty, says the Prescott "a. IT, Democrat.
Assays just had go s66S per ton in silver.
The vein is conveniently situated for work
ing-water being close at hand, and wood
in abundance. Work on the new find will
begin at once and the vein will be thor.
oughly opened.
Day before yesterday, says the Eureka
Leader of Thursday, ON the 200 level of
the Richmond, drift which was being
run in the direction where Superintendent
Bickard believed that an ore body would
be found, suddenly broke into large cave.
The cave, on measurement, is found to be
so feet long, 40 wide and 80 high. This
development is a sure indication of the
near existence of large body of ore.
Out of 900 miles of gold fields in the
Black Hills, it is claimed by the Pioneer
that the developments that hitherto have
| given distinction to the section as q bullion
producer have been almost entirely within
district of some three or four square
miles, near Deadwood, at the northern ex-
tremity of the field. This small section,
within the third year of its systematic
operations, shows monthly yield of some
$500, 900.
