PROSPECTING sAORAMRNTANs

Hunting for Mineral Wealth Near Our
Home.
A large number of Sacramentans, and
good many people of other valley
points. are just now interesting them
selves in quartz mining property and
prospecting in the vicinity of Grass VAL
ley, Nevada County. There are some
fourteen old and new mines in the Grass
Valley district in which Sacramento citi-
zens are more or less interested.
Most OF these are old or only partly
prospected gold quartz claims. Some of
them are undoubtedly good property.
and the new workings show very hand
somely. Others are purely prospecting
schemes, where no work had been done
and may or may not develop valuable
property.
Some of the old mines, worked but in
differently in the early mining era, and
since then unused. are giving evidence of
proving as valuable, in all probability, as
they are known 10 have once been.
The citizens OF Grass Valley say
frankly that some Of the activities in that
district are wild cat, but III the main they
look upon their section as altogether
likely to witness genuine mining re-
vlval, with honest, profitable results to
investors. They welcome the input Of
outside capital 10 prospect the mineral
wealth Of the district, but with great
wisdom they are careful to make no fiat
tering statements, or 10 advise enthusi
astically. They have great confidence in
the major portion OF the new research
and work going on; believe it will be re-
warded and point TO number of pro-
nounced successes already.
Certainly the activity now manifest in
the Grass Valley district will quite early
demonstrate how far the faith of the
people there in their quartz mining
grounds is justified, and the many Sacra-
mentans interested in the Nevada County
quartz promises will be able to know
within comparatively short time what
their properties are really worth. There
is nothing of the boom or fever spirit in
the movement, but very cool and
cautious investment in prospecting for
mineral wealth near home.

surdlty Of compelling whole car-full of
people to listen TO a sonorous somnam bu-
listic serenade from couple of old gray
heads, when If their kindly intentions
had not been frustrated, only bali of the
car-full would have been disturbed.
And then again, as a member OF a
moral community, | feel it my duty to
discourage preyarication and deception,
whether found in low or high places. II
that agent in the office of the great [. Nj.
