MINING MENTION.

John L. Davis has found a new ledge
near Cherokee, south side of the reservoir.
1t is three feet wide and prospects well.
He is running tunnel Oh it.
We learn from D. S. Rouse that a fine
vein Of coal has been struck in the Central
mine recently, after having worked through
a break or fault. The new engine is daily
running over the road, and az soon as the
bunkers are built, all will be in readiness
for shipping coal. i Antioch Ledger.
The Old Judge Gravel Mining Company

This mine is located near the old Bald
Head Mining Works Douglas Fiat was
in early days one of the richest mining
camps in the State, and the probabilities
are that it may again loom up as of DID,

Some parties in Douglass county, Or,
intend to prospect for coal on an extensive
scale on Pass creek, along the line of the
c.. & 0. Railroad. j. J. Comstock and
others ran several tunnels into the hills in
that section several years ago, finding an
excellent quality of coal in small quanti-
ties. 1t is now proposed to prospect on a
more extensive scale by sinking shafts.
The North San Juan Times tells of more
good quartz up in the gravel range: We

The most encouraging reports still arrive
from the various mining camps in Calico,
Grapevine and Alvord districts. It is
asserted that mill will shortly be erected
in the latter district by San Francisco
capitalists. In fact, with perhaps single
exception, we are looking for San Francisco
capital to assist in the development of this
region. If one-tenth Of what is heard may
be true, no greater remunerative field could
be found in the United States Old and
experienced miners say the mining deposit
is more wonderful and marvellous than the
great Comstock lode, and it is prevalent
impression that more populous city will
spring up there within two years than San
Bernardino is to-day.-[San Bernardino

A Grass Valley correspondent Of the Ne
vada Transcript says One Of the most
important mining enterprises ever inaugu-
rated In this neighborhood is that of the
Menlo Gold Quartz Company, New York
corporation. The capital stock Is 81. 000,-
Geo. 1t has bonded seven mines between
New York bill ard Allison ranch, among
which are the Homeward Bound, Wisccn-
sin, Illinois, White Oak, Bowery and
Pennsylvania. 1t proposes to run deep
drain tunnel one mile long to tap these
well known lodges. and will commence
work at once. Boutwell, and CLARK, the
well known New York mining operators.
are at the head of the concern. Joseph
Snyder, of Grass Valley, enc Of the best
mining men On the coast, will superin-
tend the work. The success of the
undertaking is assured, as several of the
bonded mines are known to be immensely
rich but under water It is fair prophesy
to say that this tunnel viii produce more
wealth than the far.famed Satro. The
ground through which it passes is a net
work OF lodges and right between the rich
est gold quartz ever discovered-thas is to
say, the Allison Ranch, North Star, New
| York Hill, Rocky Bar and Empire. There
is every chance that bonanza, compared
to which the Comstock will pale away, will
be developed by the Menlo Company.
There is no attempt to boom the enterprise.
There is no stock for sale, and no editorial
putting or blowing in the affair. Those who
know the ground to be opened up need no
assurance of lis success.
