MINING MITES.

At the Florence mine at Sierra City q
new ledge was found recently that prospects
exceedingly well in the groupings.
The Santa Barbara Press reports that q
vein of rich rock in chloride Of silver has
been struck on r. I. Buelrs ranch.
The Klamath river miners, from present
indications, promise better returns than
ever before realized, says the Yreka journal.
A quartz mill owned by L. Fasking, and
located at Canada Hill, Placer county, was
destroyed by fire on the 10th of this month.
Work is about to be commenced on the
Sickle mine in the way of grading for the
site OF the new mill TO be erected at Angels
Camp.
The workmen have got down eight feet
| in the bed of the Sacramento river at the
Shasta Bar Company's tunnel, and have
already struck rich dirt.
The Kanaka mine at Klamath river is
POW paying handsomely, and bids fair to
| Weld the old-time returns of three or four
hundred ounces week
Fully 500 men are given employment in
| the immediate vicinity of Sierra City at
present. The outlook is that this number
will be largely increased next season.
a large dam is to be constructed near the
| confluence of two streams in Coltrin can
yon, Napa county, and mill is to be
erected near by to work ore from the mine
in King canyon.
Articles OF incorporation of the Phoenix
Mining Company have been filed in the
Secretary of States office. The company
has capital of $500, 900 in 1900 shares,
and proposes to work gold mine in Gala
| veras county.
DIR. Aug G. Kinney writes to the Oregon
AStoriaa that there is probably the most
| extensive bed of coal in the Northwest in
the Nehalem valley. r. d. Cole has
measured the vein, which is 6 feet inches
| in thickness.
We understand that there is movement
on foot in this county, says the Sonora
Democrat, TO reduce the rate of miners
| wages. Miners now receive 50 per day, but
it is proposed to cut this down to - 90. So
far none OF the mining companies have
made any move toward the reduction.
1t is reported says the Carson Tribune,
on what seems to be good authority, that
the mines in the Mountain House neigh
| borhood are showing very rich lodges. The
| Red Canyon and Pinenut lodges are show
ing rich in gold, and nothing but a proper
method of reducing the ore is necessary to
make the output extremely remunerative.
Purdy Flint, of Yakima, w. T., has
| shipped to Swansea, Wales, 400 pounds OF
high-grade silver-copper ore from the Cop
per Bullion mine, in the Cle-elum district
The ore of the Copper Bullion averages so
per cent. copper, $25 silver, and traces OF
gold, nickel and bismuth. A block of the
ore has been sent to Portland for exhibit
ton at the Mechanics Fair.
The mines of Granite Mountain, Pine
Creek district, Or, are in the hands of their
DISCOVERIES. Not single prospect - has
changed hands. Three or four mines have
been bonded and for large sums, but so far
as can be learned the parties are not re-
sponsible and have left no pledges which
viii bind them to their bargains. Pros
pectors hold their properties at tremendous
figures.
The Nevada City Transcript says Opera
tons at the iron mine on Bear river will
probably be resumed next January The
| bed OF ore discovered in shaft No. will Of
| itself warrant the resumption of work, but
the company are DESTROYS of locating still
larger supply from which they may draw,
and they have every reason to believe that
| the demand for Hotaling iron will be at
] least equal to the quantity they can pro-
