Good News.

MI Turner of Marietta was in

learn that there is likely to be a
resumption of activity in that camn
Inc Eagle mine, the property of
Messrs. Paxson, Phipps and Turner,
Is SAID to be very valuable. The
ledge is three feet wide and the ora
averages $50, which is said to be a
low estimate. The owners have al
ready 100 tons on the dunn. and the
work so far done demonstrates that
the ledge is permanent.
While in town Mr.. Turner mr.
chased the Endowment mill (which
Is four miles from the Eagle mine,
and as soon as the mill can be mt in
shape hve stamps will be started on
the hrSt crushing. Mr.. Turner is
now in Mason Valley to buy a team
and wagons with which to haul the
ore from the mine.
Inc owners are going to work in a
business like and systematic manner
and there is no doubt that they will
show up fine property.

The Mt. Diablo.

Following is Superintendent Shock
ley weekly report of operations at
the Mount Diablo:
We are following narrow ledge of $50
ore IN the west drift from the north cross
cut from the hanging stope on the sixth
east, and have six inches of ore in the face
to-day. The hanging stope on the sixth
east looks better than it did last week /;
some of the ore is very good grade. We
have several men taking ore from the
north crosscut from this stope; the ore is
irregular here but now we are taking out
a good deal of ore assaying from $40 to as
high as $3.50. We have small stope west
of this hanging stope that is giving some
$50 ore. We are still doing little work
on what is left of the main stope between
the fifth and sixth levels and little ore
has come in here during the last week A
small quantity of $40 ore is being taken
from the east drift on the fifth level The
foot stope on the sixth level shows few
inches of 500 ore. The fourth east gives II
little SAD ore. The Slopes above the third
west are not giving so much ore, the ore
having given out in the east end of the
stope. The intermediate above the third
east shows feet of S35 ore, but it is
almost too low grade for us to take out
now; there is also small amount Of Sc D
ore in this stope. We have stopped work
in the stope on the second east and are
doing little work on some small seams
but If they do not improve will aban-
don this part of the mine within a few
days. The second west is yielding II few
tons OF $50 ore per week. The first east
gives small quantity of SD ore. The
first west is turning out some So quartz
The mill has been running as usual
during the week.

The replacing at tSheerness of theNorth-
ampton-the ''lame duck of the British
navy''-by the Thunderer is something
more than a mere change of ships. Some
while back the naval barracks at Sheer
ness were practically emptied, those serv-
ing there being sent ON to Chatham,
where the old convict prison is being
turned into O barracks. Sheerness in fu-
ture is to be the home of the gunnery
men, and the Thunderer, as an ironclad
carrying the latest thing in modern guns,
Is practically the floating part of the
establishment.
The Thunderer is not a new vessel, but
she has recently been almost rebuilt,
breechloaders being substituted for the
old armament, new engines, which, by
the way, have proved very unsatisfac-
tory, being put into her, and numerous
other alterations effected which have
made great change in her appearance.
She now carries four 10-inch cotton
B. L. guns in her turrets, ID quick firing
guns and four Nordenfelts on her super
structure. In addition to being employed
in connection. with the gunnery school,
the Thunderer will also be known as
