The California farmers are the hap
piest tillers of the soil in the Union this
year, says the Chicago Herald. The
Golden state has never had such a
money making year since her mining
days were past. Every form of farm
products in California has been in won

prices.

San Bernardino Mines.

A party of Denver capitalists passed
through here recently on their way to
the mountains in the northern part of
the county. They were accompanied by
party of surveyors and the chief engi-
neer of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad.
They brought with them carload of
mules and bountiful supply of provis-
ions, sufficient to last them for months
to come. These capitalists have pur-
chased number of mines in the region
mentioned and will proceed to develop
them. simultaneously with the work
on the mines they will begin to build q
broad gauge railroad from Gofi's to the
heart of the mineral district, over which
they will transport their ore en- route to
the Needles for reduction. This road
will be 35 miles long. This enterprise
should inspire our mining interests with
renewed life. OF the great value and
extent of our rich ore deposits the pros
pector demonstrated long ago. They
only require the helpful hand of capital
to release them and bring about an al
most unparalleled era in mineral pro-
ductiveness.-[Ti Times Index.

MINES AND MINING.
WORK COMMENCED ON. PROMISING
BAKERSFIELD MINES.
Gold Mines Which Give Indications of
Being BOnanzas-San Bernar-
dino Mines-The Cy-
anide Process.

The Bakersfield Californian SAYS work
has commenced at the group of mines
situated on Piute mountain. The prop.
erty is owned by st. Louis and San
Francisco parties, and the intention ie
to reopen the Bright Star mine which,
in its time, has yielded many hundreds
OF thousands in gold. The main shaft
is 40 feet deep, and when pumping
commenced was full OF water to within
81 feet of the surface. The water has
already been lowered 100 feet and the
shaft ls being retimbered az the water
lowers. This was found necessary as
the old timbers are in very poor condi-
tlon although the ground back of them
stands pretty we'll.
The timbers are cut out at the COM
pany's sawmill about mile down the
gulch from the mine. Last week the
sawmill caught fire in the middle of the
night and burned to the ground together
with some 1000 feet of lumber adjacent.
The machinery, however, was but little
injured and in five days the sawmill was
repaired and in full running order
again.
In addition to work upon the mine
the company has force of men at work
building tanks, in which several thou
sand tons of tailings will be treated by
the Macarthur cyanide process. Last
summer several tons of these tailings,
as nearly as possible an average sample
OF the whole lot, were sent to Denver
and there treated with very satisfactory
results, all but trace of the gold hav-
ing been extracted. And better yet,
y, .%<,,, =
have been very satisfactory, establish
ing the fact that there is large SUM of
money in the great banks of tailings
which lie below the mill. When the
mine and mill were formerly in opera
tion all the water used in the mill had
to'be hoisted from the mine. Conse.
quently great settling tanks were built
in which the tailings were allowed to
settle and the clear water drawn there
from to be used again in the mill. For
that reason none of the tailings nor the
value that is in them have escaped, as
would have been the case if water had
been plentiful.
For the purpose of treating these tail
lngs by the cyanide process, seven cir
cular tanks are being built, ranging
from seven to fourteen feet in diameter.
The tailings will be loaded into these
tanks and subjected to bath Of water
containing 2 per centor less OF cyanide
OF potassium in solution. The cyanide
di solves the gold, and after II to 15
hours the liquid is drawn off and made
to flow through zinc sponge or shavings
OF zinc, upon which the gold precipitates
in the shape of black powder. The
bath liquor is used over and over again,
80 what gold remains unprecipitated at
first will all eventually be gathered.
Fifteen men are at present employed
at the mine and sawmill, under the su-
perintendence of Jos. Klein. The Bright
Star mine yielded handsomely in the
past, and there is every reason to hope
that it will again step to the front as one
OF the leading and most profitable gold
mines in Callfornia.-[Bakersfeld Cour-

The Macarthur Cyanide Process.

Ino MAcArCnur Cyanlue Hrocesss
Messrs. Porter & Stebbins have made
very careful, extensive and thorough
tests of this process at the Reese mill,
situated on Clear creek two miles below
Havllah, and have had most remarkably
good results. They extracted over SO per
cent of the gold from the tailings that
were left at the mill. Their most remark
able result, however, was obtained
from very refractory ore taken from
Charles Heldman's mine on Erskine
creek. This ore is heavily loaded with
antimony and assays about $40 in gold
and from $50 to 500 in silver. 1t has
always been unavoidable except by
smelling and is considered the most
refractory ore in Kern county. Never
theless the cyanide solution extracted
all but trace of the gold and over 80
per cent of the silver. Verify if the
cyanide process continues to work as
we'll as this, there is great hope for the
mining interest of Kern.-[ Bakersfield

HOTEL ROcKLEDGE.
An Excellent Place to Spend the
Summer Months.

Hotel Rockledge! Even the name has
cooling, quieting effect on these hot
days and awakes within ones soul an
irresistible desire to leave care and
trouble behind and spend few delight
full hours in the beautiful hosiery at
the top of Mill Mountain. And a beau
tiful place it is, too. Nesting among
the trees on the very top of this males
tic mountain the cozy house presents a
very attractive appearance. For a
magnificent view and delicious cool
breezes it has no equal in this section
of the country.
a coach runs to the hotel on schedule
time. The trip from Hotel Roanoke to
the base of Mill Mountain is a very
pleasant one and the new coach rides as
easy as a cradle. AS the vehicle be-
gins to wind around the side of the
mountain a magnificent view of the
surrounding country is obtained. Every
turn of the road presents 10 the eye new
beauties of nature. The strong guard
rail that has been placed along the side
of the road makes trip to the top of
the mountain perfectly safe and a
feeling of security adds to the enjoy
ment of the ride.
When the top is reached the traveller
is prepared for a beautiful scene, but
the view that bursts upon his gaze sur
passes any anticipation. On every side
can be seen the blue. capped. tops OF the
Alleghenies or Blue Ridge. Seemingly
at the foot of the mountain, but stretch
ing out for miles, lies Roanoke, while
off in the distance, plainly visible to the
naked eye. is Salem. In the other d.
rection the Peaks OF Otter rise up with
startling distinctness, and objects for
miles and miles are plainly observable.
There are two sights of unsurpassing
beauty ana grandeur which can be seen
from Hotel Rockledge, and these are the
furnaces at night and the sunrise in the
morning. AS tho pail of dark settles
over the mountain and objects fade
from sight the bright glare OF the fur
naces commands the attention of every

resembles much more forcibly than any
