menced crushing rock. They have
finished up a run of 43 tons of rock
from which was taken out So ounces
OF gold which, before melted,
| understand, is worth SIS go per
ounce. Mr.. Thurman has now another
batch Of IS tons roasted, which is ID
the mill and will be crushed as soon
as the stamps are started again.
Our old friend Henry Clifton is at
work at the new furnace, where all
the ore will be roasted as it is hauled
from the mine. Mr.. Thurman has al
ready got one two-horse team and one
four-horse team hauling rock, and has
about 100 tons on the dump. There
are three men stopping out rock and
Tour looking on, which altogether,
don't make very strong force.
Messrs. John and j. L. Brown, Presi-
dent and Superintendent of the Elmira
Silver Mining Company, were here a
few days recently, looking at our
mines, but | don't know whether thew
will invest or not. The Rising Sun

took a trip over to the Rattle
Snake and Mount Sofa mines. owned
by AL Marston, Peter Linsey and two
other gentlemen. The Rattle Snake
has tunnel run in the mountain 60
feet on the ledge, which is from two
and a-half to four feet wide, and eight
TONS that was put through their aras-
ira went little over $25 per ton.
They realized 1920 from the 8 tons.
The Mount Sofa has never had any
rock crushed from it yet, but think |
can safely say that it will go SIS per
ton with common free gold mill, and
the ledge varies in width from two to
six and seven feet. They have out at
this mine about 60 tons of rock, and
about 80 tons at the Rattlesnake.
The Mount Sofa has tunnel in on
the ledge 80 feet. There has also been
new ledge struck lately, from which
two tons of ore produced $67 or $3.50
per ton.
Weather warm and pleasant.

the statesman gives the depths that
have been attained on the priincipal
mines Of Sawtooth and Wood river
districts as follows: The Vienna II
sawtooth, is down 600 feet, the Pill
grim nearly 100, the Smiley property
l25, and others nearly the same depth
and an Improvement in all Of them as
depth is attained. In Galena district
are the Eunice, the Gladiator, the
White Cloud and others down from
70 to 200 feet, with the same result
In Warm Spring district the North
Star on the East Fork and number
OF others are developed from a depth
OF from so to $50 feet. In Greenhorn
guich are several which are down
from 30 to 1876 feet, while around
Bellevue the Mayfower, the jay
Gould, the Idahoan and several others
have sufficient ore in sight t., be adj
mitted by the most fastidious to be
very valuable properties. Near ia
cobs City and around Bellevue there
are numerous lodges that have been
tapped at a sufficient depth to require
years to work out the ore that has al
ready been exposed.
The Herald estimates the value Of
the Charles Dickens mine at 81. OOO.-
600, and as that paper never magni-
lies IN its mining reports, this estimate
can be put down as about correct.
The ore in the face of the drift is SO
rich that gold can be plainly seen in
the face of the drift. The mine is also
very rich in silver. The Herald states
that the richest pay streak goes up
into the hundreds, and is from five to
eight feet in width, and estimating
tits at five feet average width, and
counting the ore at 500 per ton, there
is $6,OO0,OO0 in sight, but thinks this
estimate is too low.
The Wood river prospects are 60
ing into the hands of capitalists at a
rapid rate, and the discoveries are re-
ceiving handsome sums for their finds
The mines there, instead of "petering
out, as was feared they would do,
continue to show up better as they
are gone down Oh, and the develop
ments that have been made are suffi.
Gent to prove their permanency al
moet beyond a doubt.
PROF. GILBERT BUTLER, County Su-
perlntendent, started out yesterday to
visit the different schools in the coun-

Centervile and Pioneer. He will go
to Placerville and Quartzburg today,
to Star Ranch tomorrow, Horseshoe
Bend and Jerusalem Thursday, Upper
Squaw creek, on Friday, and will be
home on Saturday.
SAM HALLETT has discovered ledge
at the head of Deer creek, in the Wood
river country. Sam has not went
down on his find, and don't know
whether he is bonanza King or not.
The vein is of good width, and gives
good prospects on the surface, and the
chances are, with development, it will
proves big thing.
THE Robinson Bros. saw mill, on
Wood river is turning out lumber. 1t
is the only mill that is running there
now, but two or three more will be
ready to start up in a few days. All
these mills will do big business, as
the lumber can be disposed of as fast
as sawed and at good prices.
WV ANKRAM arrived at Banner
from Wood river few days ago. He

The Forest King mine shows no
signs of decreasing either in richness
or width of the vein. The boys are
at work taking out ore and cross-cut-
