AMONG PACIFIC
COAST MINES.
IMPORTANT WORK OF THE MEN
WHO ARE DELVING FOR PRE-
CIOUS METALS.
RICH STRIKES REPORTED
FROM SAN BERNARDINo TO OREGON
PROSPECTORS ARE RUSHING TO
THE NEW DIGGINGS.

The people of this State are recognizing
more completely than for many years the
value of the gold mining possibilities of
California, and are making more invest
ments. At the same time many people
from neighboring States and from the
East are putting money into our gold
mines, and California is at last getting
what it has long desired-capital for min
ing investment. In this connection the
following from the Auburn Herald is
timely: The reader every day hears
some one give utterance to the expression:
"South Africa is the place to go; there are
so many rich mines there" The truth is,
there are very few rich mines in South
Africa, and it is very expensive business
working those that are there. But there
are plenty of good mines in California
quartz, gravel and placer. Mining capital
Placer, Ell Dorado and Nevada county
mines. There are hundreds of claims
which could be worked successfully if first
properly prospected and then opened up
and developed Systematically. Nevada
County has hundreds of acres of rich hy-
draulic claims, besides many rich quartz
mines which have been shown to be as
good as the best. Ell Dorado has what is
probably just now the best-paying quartz
mine in the world We refer to the Taylor
mine, Just across the American River from
Auburn. Placer County boasts of the
richest gravel mines and has many good
quartz and hydraulic claims. There is
plenty of gold yet in California estimated
at more than 81 ,000, 900, ,000-and it can be
taken out more cheaply than at any other
place in the world

OREGON.

The Baker City Democrat says: "There
is enough gold in a very small area OF
country east of Baker City to pay off the
national debt" )" said an old miner yester-
day IN the presence of a number of other
prospectors who were discussing the rich
gold strikes made within the past few days
in the Virtue and White Swan districts,
land all that is necessary to get out the
metal is the application of sufficient capital
to put the mines on working basis"
There was no dissenting from the opinion
expressed and all agreed that almost
within the gates of Baker City was min
eral belt that some day would outrival
Cripple Greek or any of the other Colorado
gold camps.
And this is true. If the Virtue and
White Swan districts were situated in Col
orado ten thousand men would find en-
ployment. There would be a hundred or
more mills like the Virtue and White
Swan turning out their $4,000 to $4,000
gold products each month.
These observations are brought about
by the continued and recent rich ore
bodies uncovered and the phenomenal
wealth that seems certain is buried in
natures treasure vaults in this section OF
country.
The news comes in daily of rich strikes
here and there and not confined to any
particular lead. The whole country seems
to be network of gold-carrying veins and
lodges that become richer and more per-
manent as depth is reached.
On the heels of the rich strikes on First
Creek in the Friday, Kearsarge, Tarantula,
columbian and others come the news that
IN the White Swan an ore body is being
worked that is as rich as the numerous
shutes found in the Virtue. Then we
hear of the long-ago abandoned lanes
Gordon mine yielding an ore-oody IN the
two miners are pounding out in a
mortar $40 per day.
Such wonderful developments are by no
means surprise to those acquainted with
the mineral character of the country, and
more frequent and permanent discoveries
will be made from this time on. The
country has not been half prospected. 1t
has Just been run over by barroom prospec-
tors. When muscle, energy and scientific
methods are applied then wonders will be-
gin to unveil themselves.

Following are the entries for to-day:
SPITZER COLLECTION.
A Gift to the Mark Hopkins Institut,
of Art From f. f. Searles.

A Gift to the Mark Hopkins Institute
of Art From f. F. Searles.
''The only thing new at the Mark Hop
kins Institute of Art" said Secretary
Martin of the San Francisco Art Associa-
tion yesterday, ''is handsome present
that has just been received from Edward
F. Searles, and the secretary took from a
case two large beautifully bound books. each
of which has on the title-page: LA Collec-
ton Splitter, Antique, Moyen-Age-Re-
naiSsance."
The two volumes are the world
Spitzer collection, which all art experts
say is the most complete that has ever
been placed within the covers of books.
They will prove of great value to the stu
dents at the art school, for they contain
some of the choicest views of work of the
old school, some of the subjects dating
back to the sixth century. The two vol
umes contain pictures of art gems in ivory,
OF elegant carvings, medallions, reproduc-
tions in miniature of the grand figures that
ornamented the draperies in the fourteenth
century, beautiful illustrations of the il
Illuminated manuscripts that were in vogue
IN the sixteenth century, copies of Jewels of
the middle ages, decorations in woo dwork
and many other treasures of like character.

LITTLE PROOF OF FRAUD.
Eight Precincts in the School Board
Recount Finished and No
Big Changes.
Director Carew Loses Thirteen Votes
During the Day-The Others
Vary but Little.

The recount for the positions of Carew
and Barrett in the school board con-
tinued through eight precincts yesterday
without very much affecting the result
The greatest change noticed during the
day was in Carew' vote in the Fourth Pre-
cinct of the Twenty-eighth District. He
lost thirteen votes, his figures dropping
from so to 81.
Very few of the ballots have been OBJ
iected to, there being only four or five in
the eight precincts counted. One of these
was thrown out because there were thir-
teen School Directors voted for, and the
other because it was evident one of the
crosses was put in after the others-it was
by different stamp, and appeared to be
in different ink.
The recount has now progressed as far as
the Eleventh Precinct of the Twenty
eighth District and as yet no big frauds
have been unearthed, unless the vote of
Carew in the Fourth Precinct could be SO
called. For the day the figures were as
follows: Ames lost g. gained 5; Barrett
lost 5, gained 5; Carew lost II, gained 4 ;
Hawley lost g. gained 2; Henderson lost 3,
gained IL; Maxwell lost 1, gained 4; Nc
Elroy lost u, gained 2; Murdock lost 4,
gained 3; Scott lost 7, gained 5; Symmes
lost 3, gained 8.

San Diego County.

Another strike is reported from the Rice
District, near Warner. says the San Diego
News. The shaft of the Yellow Hammer
is now down over eighty feet, exposing a
body of very high grade ore.
Messrs Harrison and Golbraith in the
same district have uncovered a sixteen-foot
ledge of free milling ore, which will aver
age IS per ton. They are now down
eighteen 1eet with a crosscut from wall to
wall, every foot of which prospects well as
compared with the vast body of ore un-
covered.
Every facility for the economical work.
ing of ores can be found in this district,
and with plenty of wood and water there
will be no question of handling to profit
the deposits of low-grade ore known to
abound in that vicinity.
Messrs. Begole, Hawkes. and Bruschl are
now down 25 feet on their Free Coinage
mine in Pine Valley and the vein shows as
strong and prospects as well as on the sur
face. The pay "shoot" is about 800 feet in
length and while the ledge averages only
from to ~ feet in width the average of
the ore will exceed 500 per ton by careful
sample. Such high-grade ore is seldom
encountered and is regarded as phenome-
nal.
Owing to the late storms, work has been
temporarily abandoned by Thomas Dalep
on his copper mine. Little mention has
been made in the papers of this fine prop
erty. The main shaft is now down IS feet
with a crosscuU of 80 feet all in ore from
wall to wall. AS the ledge will average 10
per cent copper its full width at the grass
roots, besides carrying some little silver and
gold, it is considered by competent ex-
perts to be one of the finest prospects for
amount of development done. in the State,
W. H. Ferry has couple of men at work
prospecting on his ranch near Lakeside
with encouraging results. He has sunk
forty feet in one vein and exposed a num-
Der of sulphuret bearing ledges by cuts and
prospect shafts.
l.. 3. Aubury, the assayer, reports more
activity in mining business in San Diego
than for some time past and the amount of
gold bullion which passes through his office
daily would seem to indicate that some of
the boys were striking it rich and that
mining was on the boom.
DR.. d. B. Northrup will soon put force
of men to work on his property recently
purchased in Pine Valley.
Mr.. Clark on an adjoining mine also ex-
poets to push his tunnel to connection
with the shaft as soon as the roads are in
condition to haul supplies.
