MINING MENTION.

Some marvelously rich specimens of gold
ore have been found in the Gold Flat Eu-
rska mine of this district. Nevada Trans
cript.
The development in Albion, says the
Eureka Sentinel of Tuesday, mentioned
in Sundays issue, continues to hold it's
own, and work upon it progresses. From
the company's office we learn that at last
advices the drift had penetrated the ore
several feet, and it presented the appear
ance of holding out, though the theory
prevails that there is cave near by, but
in what direction could not be ascertained.
Mining in the vicinity of the lava beds
at Oroville is being carried on to much
greater extent this winter than for num-
Der of years past. The ground has to be
stripped to depth of from five to fifteen
feet, and usually these holes are so full of
water that the Cinnamon are forced to
leave them. This winter the case is differ
ent, for, there being but little rain, they
are not molested, and are taking out a
large amount of gold dust. Mercury.
The O'Connor or East Eureka mine, 10.
Gated at Union Hill, about two miles east
of Grass Valley, has been bonded by
Grass Valley company, with Gao. Fletcher
at the head. This property has been in
litigation for some time, and has recently
fallen into the hands of the Pacific Iron
Works Company, of San Francisco, which
company had claim against the 0 Conner
company for machinery, etc. The O'Con-
nor is east of the Idaho, and is no doubt an
extension of that famous ledge.-[Grass

Yesterday the workmen at the Cold
Spring mine struck the gravel channel, and
the prospects are very encouraging. The
owners feel somewhat jubilant, and antici-
pate soon making some rich developments
IN their mine. We hope they will, as they
have been very energetic and have kept up
work for long time. The present tunnel
is in 1850 feet, and three years time has
been consumed in running it. The stock
holders have expended considerable money,
and it is now time they were getting some
return. Nevada Transcript, February I'd.
Wednesday morning an upraise forty feet
from the breast of the Cold Spring tunnel
opened into the pay channel after being
carried up distance of twenty four feet.
The deposit is broken quartz and prospects
well in gold. The owners will Immediately
proceed with the systematic developments
Of their NINE The Cold Spring claim is
about two and half miles east of the city,
on the Washington ridge, and is owned by
we'll known business men and miners resid-
ing here. They have been working there
over twelve years, expanding in the neigh
borhood of $40. 900; they have sunk inclines
and tunneled at various points, discovering
in the ridge two parallel channels-one of
washed gravel and the other of broken
quartz The latter was worked for awhile
through an incline, and about SIC. 600 taken
out but this method of operating was so
expensive as to leave no margin. Having
become satisfied that they had at least
800 feet on the channel, which is go feet
wide, they began little more than three
years ago to run into the ridge from the
south side, going in northeasterly direc-
ton. The tunnel has been extended /, 420
feet, half OF it being through very hard
rock, aud is straight as an arrow. The
stockholders have displayed commendabis
tenacity, and they are now evidently on
the eve of realizing substantial and de-
served returns. ST. Nevada City Transcript.
