Messrs. McNams.a, Jamison q Co. have d
last struck the tide III their affairs which, N
hope, will lead on to fortune. The Sneozer Ii
prospect owned by the above named gentl}
and located Immediately north Of Cei|
~terville, most of which village is taken in b
the patent. The new shaft, sunk about q
feet south of discovery, attained a depth
few days ago Of 40 feet. Above that dept
the ore was free but of low grade. The ledgl
however, was wide and well defined, and til
owners Of the property were confident that /
would improve below water level-an expe3
tation which was verified a few days ago b
the discovery in the bottom of the shaft OF
streak Of exceedingly rich ore. 1t was fr
found in humps, which, on being brokeI
showed considerable ruby and wire silvs
Within the next few feet the ore assumed
compact form and is now eight inches wit
and samples $500. The streak is widenir
steadily, and the owners are confident of ha
ing struck a bonanza. They deserve the
good fortune.

A lady correspondent of the MINER, writ
ing from Custer City, Idaho, thus stirs up
the old bachelors of the Salmon River
country:
Some matrimonial surprises have taken
place here recently, and afforded much food
for gossip. Nothing causes so much talk in
a new mining camp as a wedding, for, gen
orally speaking, they are of rare occurrence.
Two young ladies, who but a short tim age
arrived in the place, have succeeded in life
by winning each a good husband. But 1t
must not be inferred from this that there is a
field here for unmarried ladies to oper-
ate in, for at least MIN out of every ten
of the male residents are old bachelors, who
either carry the ashes of a dead love in their
heart or are only waiting until they can re-
turn to the home of their youth and marry
the girl they left behind them.
A public school was opened last Monday,
the first in the district; so you see we are
making some forward strides.
The mines are all in excellent condition,
though a large number of miners have gone
to Salt Lake to spend the winter. This shows
that their work during the past season has not
been profitless.
The Custer 2O-stamp mill is completed and
will at once proceed to make a record for it
self.

The gold reported for California is from SO
counties and is believed to be 81 100000 less
than the actual yield. The silver reported
comes from "a counties and is probably COM
plete. The product for Nevada is the COM
bined yield of the productive mines Of ten
counties and is regarded as very accurate.
Seven counties in Oregon report as above,
but the yield for the state for that year was
probably not less than S 100000 in gold and
$10,0 600 in silver. Washington territory is all
that can be obtained from that source. The
mine owners of nine counties in Idaho give
their combined product as above. Six coun-
ties in Arizona report $1,4O1 SIS. The yield
of one mine that refused to give information,
is credited with having produced 100000 in
gold and $S0O,0 900 in silver, which makes the
total as above.
The returns from Utah, Montana, Colorado
and Dakota are to be added to make the
statistics complete. The information thus
briefly given in the above table is the result
of a large amount of labor and cor.espon-
dence. Private blanks were sent TO every
known mine in the states and territories
named. Many, Of course, had nothing to
report. A few declined. But the informa-
ton, nevertheless, is valuable, because it is
supposed 10 give the actual product of mines,
athing that has probably not been done before
on so large a scale.-San Francisco Bulletin.

Partial Bullion Product for the

1t is known that the mint bureau of the
treasury department has been collecting in
formation touching the gold and silver yield
Of the various mines in California, Nevada,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Arizona.
ewing to the incomplete returns, this infor-
nation was unavoidably omitted from the re-
port for the last fiscal year, which the direc-
tor has just submitted to congress. We there
fore made application to Superintendent
Dodge of the San Francisco mint for permits
sion to publish the gross results Of the infor-
nation collected. The matter was referred
to the director and his consent being obtained
the superintendent has furnished the Bulletin
with the aggregates of all the returns received
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1880, in
six states and territories as follows:

The Butte Workingmen's Union was
organized on June 10, 1878, for self pro-
lection and mutual assistance. At the
organization, a. G.. Witter was elected
president and J. B. Cameron secretary.
The society has always been a popular
one with the men to promote whose
interests it was instituted, and now has
a membership of 600, of which
number 400 are in good standing. On
each anniversary of it's organization,
the members of the Union have a pa
rade and a public meeting, which is
usually addressed by prominent citizens
besides the officers of the Association.
The parade of June last was a very i'm
posing one, showing that the Union
numbers some of the most progressive
and intelligent of our mining population.
The members occupy a hall in which
regular meetings are held to discuss any
business that may come up for transac-
ton and to afford assistance to those OF
the Union who may be sick or disabled,
The finances of the institution are in
healthy state, there being about $4,000
cash on hand besides a lot on upper
Main street, for which the sum of 81 ,0Ot
was recently paid. 1t is the intention as
500 as spring opens, to begin on this
lot the erection of two story brick
building, to be used for Union purposes
The cost of house and lot is estimated t.
reach $4,000.

The newspapers Of Tennessee note with
some degree OF alarm the continued depar-
ture Of small farmers and laborers from
that State. The Nashville american esti-
mates that the number OF emigrants from
that State during the year may aggregate
20 900, Of which number it thinks $1,000
will be whites, 1t says the emigration OF
white persons lisa serious matter, due sole
" to the additional pressure caused by
drought upon IN already hard-pushed pop
ulation, which has not been able to keep
pace with modern progress or to adapt
itself to changed conditions. The american
believes that Tennessee Is the best field in
the Union for thoroughly liveimen, while it
may be the worst for those who cannot
keep in the race, The emigrants are most
~ seeking Western homes.
