a will


while some old ones that were at one time
abandoned are now being eXamin ed with
view to work them. At Forbestown the
most extensive and costly quartz develop
ments are being made. The mines there
were worked at one time aud then aban-
dOned, as the rock contained SulphuretS "a
such an extent that the rock could not be
proftably worked under the processes then
IN use.
A few years ago these mines were re-
opened. and extensive developments have
been made during the past two years by
W. W. Stow and Alvinza Hayward. The
former has fortv-stamp MILL which is
considered one of the finest on the coast.
The most modern scientific appliances
are used for saving the sulnhurets. and the
rock Is paying we'll. The mine has been
so extensively orened that it is claimed
there is ore enough in sight to last for ten
years. A large force of men is employed,
and the rock is paying so we'll that it is
said the mill will again be enlarged. though
twenty additional stamps were put in this
season. The mill aud mine are lighted by
electricity, and the machinery is run by
water-power. Il. p. Stow is the manager,
and has shown remarkable capacity in
bringing the mine into the high state 1t
now occupies
Mr.. Hayward has erected a splendid
mill and the largest reduction works in
the northern part Of the State. These
works are now ready to begin operations.
The lode has been sunk upon to depth of
500 feet and the rock constantly increases
in richness.
The famous Plumas Eureka Company
that owns the Plumas Eureka mine in
Plumas County. the Sierra Butte mine in
Sierra and the Uncle Sam mine in Shasta
has bonded the Reasoner mine at Forbes
town and set twelve mensat work devel-
opng the lode. If the rock proves salts
factory when the ledge is opened to a
depth of 500 feet the mine will be purchased
and large mill erected.
The Williams mine is another valuable
property near For5estown, but no ore is
as yet being crushed. The Carlisle lode
is one of the largest and finest in the State,
but 1t has been IN litigation for some years
and suit is now in progress to quiet the
title. ForbestOwn is making rapid devel.
ments and twenty-five new building have
been erected during the past two weeks.

Halves Will Have to Serve a Life
Long Sentence.

oision in the appeal of HAYES against a

Court.
HAYES was convicted OF murder In the

TINS name was Wagner. HAYES appealed
from the sentence on several grounds. The
first was that the court erred in admitting
the evidence of DR.. Wright, one OF the
witnesses for the prosecution, who lesti-
fed a. an expert as to the distance which

Smith & Wesson, would carry in order to
produce powder marks on the skim
