Ell DORADO QUARTZ MINES.
A Boom All Along the Line-New Nils
Rinh Strikes. Etc.

Rich Strikes, Etc.
The quartz mines in the neighborhood OF
Single Springs are looking fine and some
are paying quite handsomely. The Wanda
liza mine, recently, was sold 70 Kelly Ives
& Co. of San Francisco. for $4,000, who
are planning the erection of a new mill.
This mine is situated five miles south OF
Single Springs, near the Big Canyon gold
mine. formerly known as the 0rofno. The
latter is having erected q twenty-stamp
mill. a carload of the machinery OF which
went up from this city yesterday. Ihose
mines have been sufficiently ~prospected
and developed to show a large quanuiy OF
| pay ore, and their yield IS no uncertainty.
The Barnes mine, three miles east OF
! Single Springs. on what is known as the
a. Blue Stone ridge has again started up
! after living idle for several months. This
is one of the most regular paying mines in
the State, is easily and cheaply worked, and
has proved g ~yeritable bonanza to us own
ers. L is showing better ore now than on
any of the upper levels. -,
J. W. Hodgkin & Co, OF the Pyramid
mine, have bonded the celebrated Gray
mine on Gray's Flat, four miles northwest
of Single Springs, and have commenced
operations on a large scale. This is Il Of
the most celebrated mines in the section.
Several fortunes have been taken out Of it.
and the mine never has been Systematically
worked. The miners seem TO have only
coyoted out the rich pockets, and left he
main body OF ore. Some of the pockets,
or rich spots in the ledge, paid as high as
$4,000 to the ton. 1t Will now be worked
for the first time Systematically, and no
doubt viii pay handsomely.
The Springfield mine and the Springfield
extension, near Mud Springs, are being
vigorously prosecuted, the former paying
handsomely, the latter showing well, and
promises to be equally as good, If not bet
ter, than the former. Several mines are
being worked with profit III the vicinity Of
Log Town.
y. S. Miller, from less than a ton of ore
from his mine. some four miles north of
Mud Springs, some days since, with a hand
mortar. took ont 81, 496. All of the ore is
not so rich as that, yet one Of il is barren.
All pays well for milling.
Frank Miller has a mine near Missouri
Flat which be has sunk a shaft upon some
fifty feet. The ledge is three feet in width,
has well defined walls, and all the rock,
from the surface to the bottom, which is
easily mined and milled, averages S11 80
per ton. Several mines in that section, also
in the neighborhood of Sugar Loaf, are
paying well.
The old Pacific, in the time of Placer
vile, one of the best pieces Of mining
property in the State, which has been idle
for some time, owing to a g game of freeze
out that has been going on in the direc-
torate, will start up in a few days. This
mine employs upwards of one hundred
men, and when it is running adds much to
the life of the county seat.
Tommy Davidson has q mill running on
a mine between Mud Springs and Single
Springs and is said to be turning out bars
of bullion regularly.
There is quite a boom in quartz mining
at Grizzly Fiat. 1t is not a recent boom,
but a continuation of a boom that
commenced there some five years ago.
Grizzly Flat has become a large and pros
porous town, and the numerous quartz
mines, her main support, seem; to be per-
manent and in~exhaustible. The mines at
Uniontown and Coloma are paying well,
the old Peterson mine at the latter place,
owned by Sacramento citizens, declaring
handsome monthly dividends.
The mines on the Georgetown Divide are
equally as promising. New companies
have gone into Greenwood, Garden Valley,
Spanish Dry Diggings, Mt. Gregory,
Georgetown, Georgia Slide and Upton Hill
districts, and the most flattering reports are
heard from all.
