MINING MENTION.


Large quantities of custom ores are daily
being delivered at the reduction works in
Eureka.
It is again reported that large body of
ore has been encountered in the Eberhardt
mine, at White Pine.
A rich gold find has been discovered in
the Pinal Mountains, Arizona. Assays
give 81, 700 to the ton.
The mining interests of West Point and
vicinity were never in such fiourishing
condition as they are at the present time.

Prospeceors are at work up Santa Fe can
yon. The canyon gives evidence of being
rich in minerals, and will some day doubt

Already some promising prospects have
been made. New Mexican News.
From reliable sources we learn that ore
of better quality than any yet found in
| the tunnel was struck yesterday, and there
is no longer any doubt but that the man.

Emmous & Jones, of Lovelock, on the
Central Pseifc, have an antimony mine
| about twenty.fou miles east OF that sta.
ton, on the eastern slope of the lower
Humboldt range. There is said to be large
quantities of the ore in sight, and San
Francisco men have been examining it,
with view of purchasing the property.

tunnel east of the Yellow Jacket shaft has
been drifted on north over 100 feet. An

vein and the development prospected both
downward and upward. 1t is thought what
has been found is the bottom of the ore
body.
NJ. G. Taylor and John Johnston own a
gold mine not far from Taylors iron mine,
about fifteen miles below Grass Valley,
which gives promise of developing into
fine property. Their incline is now down
forty five feet, and the ledge shows width
OF about four feet. The vein material is a
sort of conglomerate of quartz, galena and
tale. It shows no free gold, but plenty of
good sulphurets. Valley Union.
Extensive outcroppings of iron ore (red
hematite) have been developed on the ranch
of ]. Lancaster, about four miles in from
the coast, near Timber Cove. The mine
has been prcspected by G. Wilson, of San
Francisco, in the interest of San Francisco
capitalists, who, We believe, have opened
negotiations for the purchase of the same.
The main vein runs from east to west, and
is situated in range l3 west, Mt. Diablo
meridian. From present prospects it
would seem that Mr.. Lancaster has
"struck it rich. - [Sonoma Democrat.
The Downieville Messenger says: Sixty.
six ounces of nuggets were taken from the
Bald Mountain Extension mine at Forest
City last week, although but four men are
breasting on account of impure air. In
three weeks, when new air pipe is laid in
the main tunnel, Superintendent Lawry
says that he can put on at least fifty men.
The total yield Of the mine since the first
prospect, has been $1,000. The outlook is
now that no more assessments will be levied.
Up to Tuesday night, thirty.one ounces
were taken out.
On Tuesday last negotiations were con-
snmmated which resulted in the consolida-
tion of two of the most valuable and pro-
ductive mines in the Good Hope District,
and in fact in that portion of Eiko county.
The exterior lines of the Buckeye lode and
the Ohio were parallel, but the trend of
the vein of the Ohio was found to be ap-
preaching the Buckeye. The owners of
both claims were the same, but had une-
quail interests. They wisely concluded to
consolidate, aud the two claims, Ohio and
Buckeye, will now he known as the Con-
solidated 0hio.-[ Elko Independent.
During the last week work has been
prosecuted onthe shaft of the Diltz mine,
which, from the mouth of the shaft, is now
oko The hofknr,a of no
shaft has developed a larger body of ore
than was really looked for by Mr.. Diltz,
and the last blast made on Thursday even
ing of this week has developed bonanza
highly encouraging to everyone interested.
The last discovery shows most conclusively
that the main lead of ore which has been the
principal feeder for all this section lies in
the course of the shaft and level running
rortherly. Although Mr. DiItz works but
a limited force of men upon his mine, every
week as he progresses shows the perma-
nency and richness of the mine.-[ Mari |

As some wild and exaggerated reports |
have been going around lately concerning
alleged rich Developments in the tunnel |
now being run through Murphy's ridge, by |
James Morgan it may be well to state the |
facts as near as we can get them. The |
header has not encountered any large, well |
defined body Of quartz nothing that ap-
proximates to ledge. A number of small /!
stringers have been cut, which prospect |
well. Even at the depth frcm the surface |
at which the tunnel penetrates the ridge,
the formation is very much broken up.
The belief is unshaken that rich gold |
bearing ledge remains hidden in the ridge,
and with the present energetic manage
ment, the search will likely be continued |
until it is found. -[Amador Ledger.
