MINING NOTES.

Since February $50 quartz locations have
been made in Madison county, Montana
Territory.
The shipments through Wells Fargo &
Co. of bullion from Calico since January l,
1884, are 81 $50, Boil
The gold-bearing gravel near Alpine, Los
Angeles county, has been assayed and gives
only about 2! drachms to the ton.
A quarrel over the Red Rover mine, in
Soledad Canyon, has stopped the work
there. Until this unfortunate occurrence
the mine was paying exceedingly we'll
AT Mendon, Costumes township, Ell
Dorado county, the mines are proving sue
cessful. The late rains did not favor min
ing to any considerable extent. The indie
pendence is still running to its full limit.
| Quite large force of men are employed
at present in the vicinity of the Horse
Shoe Bend, on the Carson river, in Douglas
county, Nevada, in placer mining. Very
rich developments have lately been made,
| causing rush for these diggings.
The old Greenhorn district in Kern
county, famous in early days for its rich
placer and gold-bearing quartz, finds many
believers IN future fruitful in richness.
The surface mining done in that section is
but proof that rich and strong viens lie

Information has reached Candelaria of
two very promising discoveries of excellent
mines south of that place. The prospects
are located in the White mountain range,
southwest of Fish Lake valley, from twelve
to eighteen miles distant The ore from
both OF them bears gold and silver, the for
mer metal predominating.
great mining scheme is proposed to
extend tunnel from the Utah and North
ern depot through the great lodges of the
Butte, M. T., district, and onward past
Walkerv1lle. The tunnel is to be two miles
long, and to tap all the lodges which lace
the granite hill upon which the greatest
mines OF the camp are located.
In digging well on the Cooke place
here in town a vein of coal was struck at a
depth of a few feet. Messrs. Kneller and
Hall, the well-diggers, both pronounce it
good burning coal, but of course this can
not be determined until it has been tested.
coal mine in Cloverdale would prove
bonanza Cloverdale Sentinel.
A couple of Mexicans have made rich
discovery of gold about sixteen miles south
of Independence, Inyo county, at the end
of Old Dads mountains. The ore ASSAYS
at about $3.50 to 5000 in gold, carrying CON
siderable silver. The find is attracting
number of old prospectors, and no doubt
more will be heard Of it ere long.
The usual rate of wages for miners
throughout the Eastern Oregon mineral
district is 81 per day, and employers have
no difficulty in making up their gangs at
this rate. The Cinnamon receive the same
pay as the white men, and in all cases
where regular wages are paid the men find
their own board. About 1000 men are now
at work at these wages
The Lost Prize mine and foisting works
were attached recently by Under Sheriff
Dryden, of Pinal county, A. T., in suit
brought against that company by Perry
Wildman, of Silver King, for 81, 1893 so and
costs. A large portion of this amount is
Tor the wages of the men employed by the
company while working, and which has
been assigned to Mr.. Wildman.
AT the keynote mine there is a large
dump of ore that had been cast aside as too
low grade to work A miner recently
screened out two tons of this waste and
worked it, it yielding $25 a ton. Mike
Lasky and John Anton will screen out the
remainder of the pile and mill the screen
ings. There is estimated to be thousand
tons of ore in the dump.-[Inyo Independ-

The man who sells a worthless mine
brings trouble upon district, and so does
the man who buys it, whether by fraud, or
from stupidity. More honesty on the part
of the buyer and seller is what we need As
matters stand now, "honors are easy" and
the buyer is no better than the seller or
middleman, for the trail of the serpent is
over them all, and the middleman thinks
he is fooling both buyer and seller.-[Tu-
olumne Independent.
Beach mining has taken boom in Coos
county, Or. The Coquille Herald reports
that A. Pershbaker, Abe Rose, r. H Rose
and J. L. Ferry have sold six black-sand
claims, including the Joshua Wright claim,
back of Randolph, for $4,000. Great ex-
element exists, from the fact that COM
pany has bought the Eagle mine in addi-
ton to the above, and intend to start up
with 100 men. Several other rich compa-
MES have their agents securing that part of
the country, and locations are being made.
