INNING NOTES.

A rich strike is reported in the Kennedy
mine, Amador county.
Petrifed pine pitch has been found in a
gravel mine in Sierra county.
A company of London capitalists have
taken hold of the University placers, Sierra
county.
It is said that gravel claim near Butter
fly, Plumas county, is paying $50 per day
to the man.
Parties in Siskiyou county, on Grizzly
| Gulch, have found rich quartz ledge just
above placer mines which used to pay 500
per day to the hand.
J. H. Loring, Elizabethtown. Plumas
county, took out $500 from one set of tim
bers in his fume, and one day uncovered
% ounces of gold at one pick-stroke.
The hydraulic miners are now getting
ready for the winter. Dams have to be
frightened, bitches repaired and cleaned,
blocks cut and laid away ready for the
boxes.
Four million and quarter tons of hot
water, averaging 1876 Fahrenheit, are an
nually pumped from the Comstock mines.
The water in the deepest shafts, 5000 feet,
has temperature of l57' Fahrenheit.
The Blue Jack quartz mine, Sierra coun-
ty, which has been closed down for
co1ple of weeks past, has started up again
with a force of twenty men. Preparations
are being made for working all winter.
In Orc Blanco, Arizona, there is quite an
excitement in placer digging. Men are
engaged with sluices and other means il
taking out gold dust. The placers are said
to be rich. Long toms are also at work.
The Forest City Free Press, Sierra coun-
ty. says ; Brandy City is at present
good specimen of the California mining
camp at this time of the year. Everything
is rather quiet about the town. The miners
at this place and the Greek claims are pre-
pairing for the coming winter. Powder
drifts are being run, and powders blasted
and broken up.
Says the Auburn Herald d: We mentioned
last week that the Conrad mine was turn
ing out rock that fairly glittered with gold.
This week, we understand from those who
have seen it, they are taking out gold that
has little quartz among it. It is said
really that some of the pieces taken out are
fully half gold. Another party tells US
that no less than 81, 800 was taken out in
two tubfuls last Monday.
A quartz ledge was discovered on Pine
Greek Mountain, in Union county, Or, on
the ID of September. There have been
already six claims located OF 800 feet
each. It is well defined ledge, cropping
out OF a solid granite mountain, and con-
tains galena, silver and gold. Some of the
rock has been taken to Baker City, and
assayed $40 to the ton, and some to Union,
which turned out $780, The greatest ex-
citement prevails over the discovery.
The Arizona Miner says Silver noun
tain is situated about fifty-five miles south
of Prescott and twelve miles south of the
Tiger. Running directly through the
center of the mountain from north to south
is the Mammoth, the largest mineral bear
ing ledge yet discovered in Arizona. This
vein crops out for distance of more than
three miles, and measures from fifty to
three hundred feet in width, bearing both
gold and silver throughout its entire
length and breadth. Assays have been
obtained from the groupings ranging all
along from S25 TO 81, 500 per ton.
Two thousand pounds of rock recently
taken from the Ford, Mcdonald & Mullen
mine at Grass Valley, at depth of 10
feet, is estimated to be worth from S2j, coo
to S30. 600. Some pieces of a few pounds
weight are of the value of $500 and $500
The Union says that more Of the like char
acter will be taken out at the next strip
ping Of the ledge. 1t is intended to put the
rock through the batteries in short time,
but there are several hundred pounds of it
which is more valuable to sell for jewelry
than to reduce for bullion. There has
been sufficient development in the claim to
prove that it is the richest spot OF ground
in California, as no piece of quartz ground
has ever yielded as much gold from the
same space, and there are no indications
that the bonanza is near exhaustion. On
the contrary, the latest developments are
the richest that have been made.
