MINING MENTION.

A telephone line is to be constructed
between Grass Valley and Ophir Hill by
the Empire Mining Company.
Comstock prospectors have recently
visited the Walker river region and report
finding some very promising veins of gold.

The Grand Victory mine, Ell Dorado

Operations have commenced on the Jones
mine. Six or seven men are already at
work, and a number more will be required
in a short time. In grading off a place to
sink shaft, cold was discovered in the
croppings-a pretty good indication. An.

A recent crushing of twenty-five loads
of rock from the north drift of the 400
level OF the Centennial mine paid $40 per
load, not including sulphurets. This is a
better result than was anticipated, as the
good rock on that level has heretofore come
from the south drift. Grass Valley Union.
Capt. Smith, of the Monte Christie mine,
showed us some sixty or seventy dollars in
retorted gold the other day, the result of
washing a few carloads taken from the
tunnel. The prospects of the mine are
growing rapidly brighter, and it is thought
that the large powders which have troubled
them so much have been left behind, and
that they will have :" clear sailing in the
future. = Plumas National.
Mr.. Schoenberg. an old and well known
prospector in the Pioneer district, discov-
cred q very large vein of black sulphurets
of silver few days since, lying north of
Mineral creek, and about fourteen miles
southeast of Silver King. The vein is
very large and well-defined, and average
assays give $780, Quite number of pros
pectors from Globe are attracted there by
this new find. Il Arizona Journal.
The Scott Valley Ners of last week
says We were shown this week by A. B.
Csrlock the richest specimens of gold that
we ever gazed upon. They were from the
claim which is under the uperintendency
of G. W. Smith, situated near Scott bar
on Scott river There were two pieces,
the largest one weighing SOL ounces and
valued at 1925 the smaller turned the scale
at nine ounces and was worth $50.
NJ. S. Booth of Seattle, who has been
down to see the silver-bearing quartz on
Orcas Island, reports much local excite.
ment there over the supposed value of the
discovery. One claim sold, he says, for
$500, another is held by its owner at the
modest price of $40, 600, while third can
not be bought for love or money. Mr..
Booth says he does not doubt there is
plenty OF quartz on the island that will
pay to mill on account of the small cost
necessarily attending the working of it.
Operations have again been resumed on
the Rhubarb mine. Two years hard labor
has been expended in sinking the shaft,
which has now reached the depth of Il
inches. The vein is getting wider and
looking better. Several tons of ore from
this mine was crushed, and not trace Of
gold discovered but the faith of the own
ers has actually increased, and their blood
has gone up to fever heat, for they know
the gold is there, although they have not
seen it, Mountain Echo, Angels Camp.
The Rose Quartz Gold Mining Company
| have been running cross-cut on the l40
foot level, from the main hosting shaft
west, to cut body of ore that prospected
we'll on the surface. This week they
reached what is supposed to be the foot
wall, at distance of so feet from the
shaft. Before reaching the foot-wall they
passed through vein of ore that pros.
pected well in fine gold and is fully six
| feet wide. So far as can be determined
by the appearance of the vein as it lies
against the foot-wall, it is reasonably safe
to assume that the recent development
will place the Rose mine on substantial
basis for further operaticas.-[ Placervillt
