A correspondent of the San Diegan
writes as follows to his paper:


LAooNA MOUNTAINS, June 17.--An ex-
tended trip in the mountains and to the
desert discloses some very interesting
facts. Julian, to all appearances, is
quiet and lonely. There appears to be
quite an indifference manifested among
the mining classes relative to this in
dustry, aud there are few prepertiss
worked. A little prospecting Is being
done on the High Peak mine, and some
work on the Eagle. Recently some high
grade ore was struck in this mine, the
value OF which l am unable to state.
The parties driving the tunnel are rary
& johnson.
Judge Gardner has resumed opera
tions on the Blue Hill mine. 1t is need
less to say that this property was at one
time real bonanza, and it is evidently
expected that ere long it will pan out as
rich as'ever.
This little burg excites the curiosity
of visitors on account Of its quiet ap-
pearance. Visitors usually arrive at
the conclusion that the people here
have hard times scratching for grub,
butlin this they are mistaken, for to nay
knowledge there is peace and plenty.
Banner is possessed OF thrifty, loyal
and industrious people, meddling with
no one, but attending strictly to their own
business. The following will show that
Banner is in the lead in this mineral
belt.
CINCINNATI BELLE.
This property is owned by the King
Mining company, and is one Of the rich
est little mines in the county. There
has been fabulously rich rock taken out
of it. l can safely say that some of the
richest ore ever exhibited came from
this mine, and specimens can be seen at
the chamber of commerce which will
verify the truth of the statement. The
recent crushing from this mine will
stagger the, senses OF great many peo.
pie who were wont to say there is no
mine at Banner. Just imagine that for
free milling ore the cleanup went $125
to the ton on two weeks run, with as
good ten-stamp mill as is required.
READY RELIEF.
This property is owned by the Baily
Bros, and is regarded as being the boss
OF the camp. A great deal OF work has
been perfected and to all intents and
purposes the Ready Relief is an act ual
mine. Its labyrinth of tunnels, cross
cuts, slopes and shafts, together with it's
railway tracks, give the Ready Relief
the appearance of an underground town.
There has not been az much ore as peo-
pie suspected taken from the mine. The
owners cunningly keyt on developing it's
resources, and it now turns out that
Banner has daisy mine. If 4 was to
tell the quantity Of rock that stands in
view people would say was little off.
However, they can come. and see for
themselves. The new water power
works to q charm, as recent crushing
proved. In fact it is preferable to steam,
as it handles the stamps with more reg.
ularisy.
Lately eighty tons were run through
from the Hubbard mine, whichI am in
formed turned out we'll. Also large
quantity from the Wilcox contract, the
value of which am uninformed. The
finest and most valuable of the late
crushings came out of the Hidden Treas
ure. It milled $50 to the ton. This
also belongs to Baily Bros.
DEER PARK.
Very little work is being done in this
district. A couple of men are sinking
shaft on the Black Marie to tap ledge
which don't think is there. Stewards
mill is shut down, but there are four or
five men working on the Big and Little
Emeline. The Noble Bros, so it is re-
ported, have found the lost ledge of the
Eureka mine. Bos WEYMs.
SAN JOAQUIN xfNEs.
Sheriff Hensley returned last night,
, says the Fresno Expositor, from an ex-
tensive journey through the country
north of the San Joaquin, and was met
this morning by representative OF the
Expositor who asked him what the peO-
pie are doing in the mining districts at
present.
HWell," said the sheriff, 81 found all
the miners in good hopes and the most
OF them in good luck.
'sI visited the Zebra mine, on Fine
Gold river. It is under the manage
ment of William Ferrington, and twelve
men are employed. The outlook is very
good, and the men think the mine will
be q regular bonanza when fully devel-
-s.Tbe Waterloo mine, at the head of
Fine Gold river, is showing up fine.
John Bean is superintendent. For the
present it is temporarily closed down on
account Of lack OF machinery, but it will
start soon.
"The Lily mine, near O'Neaps, run
by the Mcdonald brothers, has eight
men at work and everything encourag-
ing; ~ c,.,-.,, u. -. !, ,ss
feet long, and the ore 10 excellent. The
proprietors, Duncan McClelland and
Charles Melvin, think they have for
tune in sight.
"Mr. POOLS water arrastra, near the
mouth Of Grub gulch, is piece Of prop
.erty that pays well these days."
When asked how politics were rum
ming in that part of the county, Sheriff
Henseley said that he had gone there on
matters Of business, and had not talked
politics, except where people had come
to him to talk, which nearly everybody
did, for that is the sheriff's old home,
and he is very popular there.
BIG STRIKE AT THE SUNRISE.
A letter received today from the fore
man OF the Sunrise mine in Arizona.
contains the gratifying intelligence that
a rich strike has been made on the prop
erty OF very fine and rich ore, the vein
measuring three feet in width. The ore
averages $4,000 per ton. This is the
property examined by correspondent
OF the HERALD last week, for which the
owner, Mai. L. @. Moreland, refused the
sum OF 100000 From the encouraging
reports received it is very probable that
he will erect stamp mill immediately
