Handling Tailing s.

A good many mine-owners object to per-
hitting outside parties to work their tailings
under the false impression that il implies
careless work on the part of the mill for any
thing to be found in the waste; whereas,
the fact is there is an economic limit be-
yond which it does not pay to work. This
percentage is circumscrbed by the ques-
ton of dollars and cents. Even in elaborate
mills with Commentators, canvas tables
and all the usual appliances. the most
thorough workings cannot reach higher
than a certain percentage of the total
value. This is generally placed at about
81 per cent of the material to be saved, and
in many cases not that high. The drift
miners all over the country gave the other
fellows chance and let them work their
tailings. Chinese usually buy them or
work them on royalty. The quartz own
ers, however, often store tailings for years,
or let them pass off without working, fear
ing criticism of the original work if any,
body makes any money out of the waste.
AT some places the taiiings are sold to men
who work arastras, and treat over the old
stuff from the mill. In these days of more
perfect concentration, canvas tables. etc.,
the tailings are not SO rich as formerly,
there being less waste, but on all mills a
point is reached where it is not economic
cal to handle the pulp further. If others
can, after a time, handle the waste to a
small profit, it does not at all reflect on its
superintendent or millman.

has been repeatedly said of the district,
that it is one of the richest in the State OF

Desert Queen several new and rich dis
coYeries have been made. Quite number
of prospectors are making up teams to
visit the district within the next day or so.

Idle Prospects.

The evil of "grub-sIaked" miners who
get into country early, taking up and
holding for year at least thirty or forty
claims, thus keeping out others, is one that
has long been recognized. Colorado and
Montana now both have laws designed to
prevent this, and it is being urged that the
Northwest Miners Association ask for
similar laws in that region. The ground
is wanted for those willing and able to
prospect or develop It, As it is, man
with two or three dozen claims only does
assessment work on few, and the Others
lie idle for months. If the local or State
laws enforced a specified amount of work of
some value at once on each claim Iocators
would be confined to a few, instead of
taking them up by wholesale. AS it is
now, few partners can practically stake
off q whole mineral belt, and they keep
out others who would go to work. Hold
ing on to such undeveloped prospects by
the LOB lot" seldom pays A man will
do much better who has one or two that
he can attend to, and not only keep. up
his assessment work, but properly open.
The Mexican laws are better than ours in
keeping men at work on their claims. A
man can not hold dozen claims in that
country, but must work what he locates
or quit and let somebody else do it. Of
course, many prospectors maintain that
they ought to take up what they like and
work them or not. That sort of system
however, would not develop any mineral
section, and the prospector would be
worse off in the end.

An Unprosueeted Section.

The region about the eastern and north
eastern base of Mount Shasta is covered
with heavy flow of lava, Gaping almost
the entire surface. In places erosion has
occurred, leaving exposed spots where
gold has been found in early days, but no.
where in any specially noticeable quanti-
ties. This was in the days when hostile
Indians swarmed the region. and little, if
any, prospecting has been done there for
years, other more favored and accessible
sections having claimed attention. Many
miners, however, have long had an idea
that good mines could be found up there,
perhaps far under the lava cap, where
drifting could be done after shafts were
sunk or tunnels run. No extensive work
has ever been done in that rich field, which
is yet almost as unexplored as it was when
the Indians held sway. Recently some
parties of prospectors have started IN that
direction, expecting to do thorough work.
The Shasta Courier says: among the
parties who were at Battles last week, en-
route for the Pumice Stone Mountain and
Mendocina Lake country were Supervisor
William Conant of Delta, and along with
him were also Charley Hufford and two or
three other Shasta County people. They
had complete prospecting and camping
outfits, and propose to find gold If perse-
yerence and energy can lead to it.
"And from Bartles, two days after
Commits party passed that place, another
prospecting party outfitted and left for
nearly the same country, which lies to the
northeast of Mount Shasta. This party
consisted of the pioneer explorers and
miners, a, D. Bartle, George Watson, DR..
Pickin and Professor LeveJt, mineralogist
biologist and scientist. Bartie and Wal
SON are quite familiar with that wild,
weird land that sleeps in almost unbroken
solitude at the foot of the great butte. 1t
is to be hoped that these enterprising
prospectors may meet with reward COM

gold exists in the formation beneath the

UndeYeIoped Gravel Regions.

In the northwestern portion of Calltor-
MIA are large tracts of auriferous gravel
which are as yet undeveloped. This is
particularly the case in Siskiyou and
Trinity counties. These sections have no
large general water supply ditch system,
such as has been built up in the last forty
five years in the central mountain coun-
ties. Extensive ditch systems with large
reservoirs, etc., have been built in some OF
the counties, and from the companies or
individuals owning them miners may buy
water to work their gravel claims. In
Siskiyou and Trinity counties the large
claims have their own water supply, but
smaller claims have few opportunities of
obtaining water unless special bitches are
made.
This is one of the reasons why the re-
gion referred to has not had more of its
gravel beds opened and worked, and large
tracts are therefore yet undeveloped. The
gravel lands can be secured at reasonable
and ever cheap rates, but money must be
spent to supply the necessary water. 1t is
an inviting field for capital looking to the
possession of good-sized tracts of auriferous
land. There is no trouble about the de-
bris question. The Klamath River, into
which all the streams empty, has been
officially declared non-nayigable stream,
and the miners can all tail into the various
streams without fear of anti-debris associa-
tions or suits. The Caminetti law does not
apply up in that country, its provisions
only covering the territory drained by the
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. Capt.
talists who intend developing unopened
tracts of collaborating gravel in Siskiyou
and Trinity counties must count on arrang
ing for water supply, but this is done on
large claims, usually, in any event. 1t is
the smaller miners who are often unable
to obtain this 1t is for this reason,
mainly, that there is still so much unde-
yeloped territory, known to be valuable,
in the region referred TO.

D|TUM|NOUS ROCK SUIT,
Speedy Trial Expected in the
Action Delayed for Two
Years Past.
Accusations That Money Was Spent
Fraudulentiy In Lobbying and
Clam BakeS.

The sensational suit of A. G. Bassett and
the Consolidated Bituminous Rock Com
pany VS.. j. A. Fairchild, George M. Perine,
Austin Walrath, D. E. Miles and the Btu
men Consolidated Mining Company will
come up before Judge Seawell this morn
ing.
New and sensational Developments are
expected before the suit comes on for tlial
and during its progress. Ever since July,
1898, the attorneys for the plaintiffs, Messrs.
Gunnison. Booth & Bartnett, have been
striving assiduously to bring the suit to
trial, but up to the present time success
has not attended their efforts.
According to the original complaint.
stripped of its legal verbiage, the defendant
stockholders, owning and controlling the
majority of the stock, resorted to divers
schemes and com binations to defraud the
other stockholders. Their purpose was
alleged to have been carried out by paying
exorbitant salaries to themselves and d.
verting the funds of the company to adj
vance the interests of the paving concern
in the southern part of the State.
In addition to the original allegations
the attorneys for the plaintiffs intend to
show that thousands of dollars were used
in lobbying at Sacramento when the bond

child monthly, as vice-president and man
ager, he received other sums as follows:
October IL, 1892, $1,000; November IL, 1892,
$2650, and within the period of eight
months the sum of $12 500; that hundreds
of dollars were spent in entertaining Su-
pervisors and other officials at clam bakes,
incident to which will appear items of
whisky, wine, cigars, and hotel and travel
ing expenses, aggregating hundreds of dol
lars; also that thousands of dollars were
spent in defraying the cost of suit
brought by parties claiming stock of cor
poration in which the defendant and the
company had no interest.
The plaintiffs expect to prove, on the
head of new and strengthened evidence to
which reference has been made, that the
assumed fraudulent operations of the de-
PENDANTS cost the stockholders in the
plaintiff company, organized with a cap
of 100000, over $4,000. 1t is also ex-
pected that the delay of the last two years
will result in speedy trial.
