CALAvERAs COUNTY.

The San Andreas Prospect says: In the
Live Oak quartz mine, near Pine Log, in
Madam Felix mining district, rich strike
was made last Saturday. Messrs. Geer and
Trensel, the owners of this property, were
engaged in sinking a shaft on the lead,
and at a depth of twenty-five feet struck
some rock which yielded $1,000 to the ton,
and at present writing over $1,000 has been
taken out. The whole lead averages about
two feet in width, but this extremely rich
rock was found TO be in q streak about Is
inches wide. The gouge on either side of
the walls will pay from 81 to So to the pan.
crystalized quartz. The strike has created
considerable excitement in that district.
Jenkins and Whelock have struck a fine
lead in their Eureka mine near Cave City,
says the San Andreas Citizen. The rock
prospects high, sometimes showing free
gold. An exceptionally good sign has
shown up in the shape of little chunks of
copper measuring about an eighth OF an
inch square. This, with the gold found, is
giving It's owners renewed vigor, and they
have commenced to make things hum in
the Eureka mine
James Shinn brought some fine rock in
from his mine near town Sunday, and he
intends to sink a shaft on the property in
the near future. He has hard ledge and
it prospects very well in free gold and
suIphurets.
Fred Winkler passed through town on
Tuesday with load of machinery for the
Thorpe mine near Fourth Crossing.
Several men were added to the working
force of the Leonard mine this week.

KERN COUNTY.

A correspondent of the Californian says
the new gold discovery is about two miles
and half from Havilah in a southwest
erly direction. 1t is in the midst of dense
growth of chaparral, and it is probably for
that reason that it remained undiscovered
so long. The parties interested in it, Ed
Shipsey, Gustav Miller and Marguerite
Russell, are having trail built from the
regular road to the mine. In few days
they will sink shaft and will then be able
to determine more fully what the mine
really is. In the horn spoon the prospect
is very fine indeed.
Miller and Ferris are working the Black
Jack anthony mine every day and are
shipping the ore to New York.
Jake Estelbaum has commenced work
on his gold mine, the Friday and the
O'Brien brothers are soon to open up the
Little Angel.
Havilah has been dull for long time
Other camps around here have been boom
ing, but the tide of prosperity is slowly but
surely creeping in upon the once metrop-
oils of Kern, and at some day not very
distant the mines that for so long have
been closed will be opened, and Havilah
will again be known as one of the liveliest
and most prosperous mining towns in the
whole State of California.

NrENDoCINo COUNTY.

The Mendocino Beacon says: Alfred
Johnston lately discovered a goldbearing
quartz ledge on the south fork of Big River.
He sent some of the pieces of rock to an
assay office some time ago, and, being en-
couraged by the result, he is now about to
ship half ton of the rock to San Fran
cisco. The formation along the coast in
the timber belt is mostly sandstone and
limestone, with indications of coal, petro-
leum-gas and quicksilver, while in the rear
of it, extending through Ukiah, Little Lake
and Sherwood valleys and through part of
the mountain ranges on the west thereof,
there is formation with quartz and mica,
slate and goldbearing debris. That there
must be goldbearing rock in that section
has been proven by the fact that miners,
with primitive appliances, have years ago
made as much as So day out of the gravel
in Gold Gulch, some few miles north of
Ukiah, at times in rainy season, when
there was plenty of water available.
Some twenty-five years ago some parties
got into a notion to find silver bearing
rock in that section, but most of the assays
they had made of rock showed it to con-
tain more or less gold. There is no reason
to discourage the revival of the inclination
to prospect for mines in these quartz-bear-
ing sections, as it may be the means of
eventually developing a new industry in

NEVADA COUNTY.

The Nevada Transcript says that Frank
Worthington, George Eagye and James
Young are at work upon the extension of
the quartz ledge which William Kirkham
is developing at his place near Cement
Hill. They have not been working long
and it will be some time yet before they
start to take out quartz. Kirkham has
taken out some very rich quartz from his
mine and the ledge is stfll looking we'll
The prospectors above named think they
will find good ledge where they are work
ing.
The mill has been started up at the Har-
mony mine. Good gravel is coming out
and fiattering results are expected by the
deserving owners. Another crew of men
will be put to work.

ANIADOR COUNTY.

The Jackson Dispatch has been informed
tibet an effort is being made to revive a
scheme which was attempted some years
ago, that of utilizing the celebrated Bar
rett water ditch as power for generating
electricity to work the well-known Wash
ington No. 8, Quartz Mountain and numer-
Gus other mines of the Quartzburg district
The water of this ditch is taken from the
MERGED River, near Horseshoe Bend, and
empties into Cotton. Greek in the neigh
borhood of Quartzburg At the junction
of the ditch and creek is very fine fall
which would generate power enough to
work all of these mines successfully and
cheaply. There are many rich veins in
that district which would at once be taken
hold of if this project were carried out.

The investigation of the United States

and the indications are that a sensational
denouement will be the result. 1t IS
stated that several important arrests Will
be made within a short time, and that
when the report of the inspectors is filed
some astonishing disclosures will be made.

Judge Culberson of Texas.

If a new international monetary confer
ence be called one of the delegates thereto
chosen by the late Congress will create
somewhat of a sensation in Paris, Berlin,
Brussels, or wherever the conference may
be held. Congressman Culberson of Texas
is a character. He has method of speech
and a manner of dress all his own He
buys his clothing ready made, and always
contrives to select garments which could
not by any possibility be made to fit him.
He wears turned-down collar ard:an old
fashioned black cravat. He loves to sit
with his ch:. N nesting in his shirt bosom,
and the latter, owing to an over-en-
ergetic tobacco-chewing habit, is not
always immaculate. In conversation
Judge Culberson is a true Southwesterner.
He has no scruples about saying ~ done"
and II seen it. "a heap" is one of his
favorite expressions, and he invariably
says ''catched'' instead of caught. He
loves to speak of "Injuns," and his dis
course is full of quaint and homely SMILES
and bywords. Notwithstanding these pecu-
liarities he is man of great ability,
though not of great energy. He is as lazy

The Chico Enterprise says that large

The Orange News says: J. D. Dunlap's
Blue Light Mine, in the Silverado Canyon,
is being re-opened. The trail to the mine
has been cleared and widened, and Mr..
cisco, where he purchased all the machinery
necessary to break, pulverize and con-
centrate the ere. A ditch is being con-
structed along the north side of the CANYON
where, in distance of half mile, over
one hundred and twenty-four feet fall can
be obtained. The water will be utilized as
power and will operate the machinery by
means of Pelton waterwheel. The ore
contains both gold and silver in paying
quantities.

and iron. These lodges only need develop
ment to make them productive to degree
that would not only enrich the owners but
the entire State, but through the demone-
tization of silver it has been impossible to
interest capital and the mines, especially
those carrying large percentage of silver,
have lain idle. The mining interest of the
State has thus languished
