Quite an extensive cave occurred in the

Fortunately there was no personal injury
done to any Of the miners, further than the
temporary loss OF their time.
According to the 3Yeaverville Journal,
some of the richest quartz in the State is
now being found in Trinity county. One
day last week Fred Denier pounded up a
pound and half of rock from the Monte
Cristo mine at Deadwood and obtained two
ounces OF gold, lacking only one dollar.
This is at the rate of $4,000 to the ton.
The Enterprise Mining Company, located
in the canyon of Kern river, have taken
out considerable geld the past few months,

go to the expense of taking water from
some other source.
A number of miners have located quartz
leads IN the old Mono diggings, says the
Homer Mining Iadee, and some work is
being done on them. The lodges are of
good size, and crop out strongly in places
The ores are free milling and carry consid-
cradle gold. We understand that some
parties are going to build an arastra
there to test the ore. The Mono diggings
! are easy of access, water is abundant and
any quantity Of wood close at hand.
The Winnemucea ,Sitcer ,State learns that
a general stampede has taken place from
/, Spring City in the direction OF Bnckskin
Mountain, not far from the idaho road,
where very rich mining discoveries have
recently been made Two old prospectors
brought some ore to Spring City and
had it assayed. 1t went from $3.50 to S5l5
to the ton. The assays were made from
float rock, and the prospeetors went back
TO find the ledge and were successful.
The Quincy (Plumas county, National
says: First-class miners can find employ
inent in the Greenviile Mining District.
Green Mountain particularly IS short OF

ing crew, and several other enterprises
are expected to start up soon. The Indian
Valley mine alone will give employment to
a large number Of men when the opera
tons are fully commenced, as intended,
and several mining operations in this
neighborhood viii increase the demand.
1t Is reported on good authority, says the
Grass Valley Union, that the Bell Consoli-
dated mine, formerly known as the O'Con-
nor Sydney mine, located about two miles
east of town, is soon to be revived under
the auspices of a new company. The mine
has been standing idle from ten to twelve
years, and of course is in some
what dilapidated condition on account
of the caving of the underground work.
There is twenty stamp mill ON the prop
erty, which when built, was one of the
best in the State, and is said to be yet in
good condition. Those best acquainted
with this mine have faith in its value when
the proper developments are made.
