gold properties around Yuma, according
to the Times. 1t the Cargo Muchaco dis
trict the Paymaster mill will start up
again soon and the Golden Cross mill is
steadily pounding on a mountain OF low
grade ore. The Blossom mill OF 10
stamps and a Huntington mill in this
district are still idle. The placers are
paying. George Kelly and Judge Lin
coin OF Missouri are expected out next
month, and the Monitor at Gila City
may be started up again. An expert is
going to examine the Marvnitts mine.
A rich strike was made in the Mt.
George mine recently, says the Nevada
City Transcript. Specimens of the
quartz were brought to town and shown
to many OF our citizens. The rock is
filed with rich sulphurets and shows
considerable free gold. The Mt. George
is located on Rush creek, about three
miles west OF this city. The mine has
been prospected for the past year or two,
the indications met with encouraging
the owners to keep on with the work.
Mining men regard this strike as very
i'm mportant one, for the reason that the
Rush creek section was for long time
regarded as poor quartz section. The
results at the Mt. George 80 far will tend
to revive prospecting throughout that
locality, as a number OF ledges are
known to exist there. The ledge at the
Mt. George is 211a feet in width.
Some very rich prospects have been
struck by the miners in the Young
America mining district in the Bruneau
country. There are about % claims al
ready located which show up coarse gold
IN paying quantities. Water is very
plentiful. About 500 inches run down
the Bruneau river with big fall. A
bowlder weighing 25 pounds was found
and showed gold all over it. The miners
working with pick and shovel average
about $l.25 an hour to the man. As
soon as the pipe and machinery are
brought in, which will be soon, with
plenty OF water with big fall, the dis
trict will surely become big gold pro.
ducer.

prospector named Taylor Of Idah
thinks he has solved thu flour gold
problem, 30 vexatious to placer miners
He has invented an appliance, consist
ing chiefly of sluice box. in the bot
tom of which ia a row of overlapping
boards. These boards, prior to bein
placed in the slulce, are smeared will
white lead and then sprinkled will
sand. Over this surface the water run
in slow stream. The gravel reache
the sluice through grizzly. The gol'
and sand settle to the bottom and ar
caught on the sanded boards. After tn
sand and gold has accumulated it
taken up and amalgamated in quick
silver bath. This device, it is said, ca
be worked at a cost of about $40 pc
day, and while not perfect, it is credite
with the best work yet done on tn
Snake river placers, where the amour
OF -four gold is very large. 1t is sal
that Taylor's machine has been in US
all summer and cleaned up from $50 t.
$50 day.
