tagonism between farmer and miner and
the mutual recognition of rights. This
organization of miners to obtain their
rights within the law was the first real
progress for reform throughout the State,
as demonstrating the value of unity in
action for common purpose" said
Charles Stepp, when interviewed a few
days ago in his Offices, at Is Geary street.
Mr.. Stepp is one of the principal owners
in the Cadr,us and Home Mining Com
pany, both OF whose mines are located in
Nevada County. He has paid especial
attention to mining in this State, having
opened and sold gold-mining properties in
this State, notably the Kirkham, which
was bought by New York syndicate.
Continuing, Mr.. Stepp said: ''The gold
mines of the State are being developed,
and much prospecting for such properties
is being done by Eastern capitalists. This
Inclination will be fostered, and California
will be the gamer by any favors shown

fornians will do we'll to let the monetary
preference for gold stand just as it is,

emily be silver man.
California, as the pioneer of the precious
metal producing States of the Pacific Coast,
and the State which has made the great
est aggregate yield, has very naturally
passed by its boom period, and its mining
affairs are conducted on legitimate busi-
ness basis. Hundreds of old mines are be-
ing reopened in these days and worked
profitably, and the methods of mining and
milling are being daily cheapened. In two
years from now many of the present pros
poets will be mines, and at work. In ten
years from that time some hundreds more
will be worth working. AS occupations
become crowded more people will go into
mining. Cheapening of power by trans
mission Of electricity from watercourses
is becoming an important factor. Cheaper
labor and supplies will also be available
In every mining county of this State are
hundreds OF undeveloped prospects, any
one of which might develop into rich
mine. 1t takes money to open mines, and
this has been lacking for mining invest
ments in California. 1t is coming now
from other States to help the. California
mines.
at is apparent to every one that the
people of the United States must produce
more gold, when you take into considera-
ton that the total indebtedness of the
United States to Europe is equal to all the
gold in the world, and by the present in
terest taken in gold mining the gold
product of this State can be easily doubled
in five years, when one considers the great
number of undeveloped properties which
will at that time doubtless be at work.
sNowhere in the State of California are
there more noticeable and more probable
prospects than In old Nevada County.

small percentage always accompanies gold
bullion. The number of ounces of this
metal produced in 1894 was nearly as great
as in 1893, but the low price reduced its
market value. The legal difficulties be-
tween the mining companies at Calico
having been settled, it is believed that this
and next years output will be consider
able in advance of last years. This is one
of the few States where it can be produced
at profit.
Soda in this State come principally from
Inyo County, from the evaporation Of the
waters of Owens Lake, which are con-
Quoted into shallow basins constructed for
the purpose, and from the lixiviation of
superficial strata of certain marshes"
No returns for 1893 and for this year.
Structural Materials - The quarrying
and working structural materials is one
OF the most tlourishing industries, and as
California has reached that stage where
more substantial buildings are demanded
the product of 1894, which foots up to
more than ST. 500, 900. will be exceeded this
year. Were the large amount of granite
quarried at Folsom and used for State
purposes included in the totals, they
would be materially increased. The
travertine quarry at Bridgeport, Mono
County, is being opened and a very fine
quality of stone for interior decoration is
being extracted.
As the length of this article has alread V
exceeded the allotted space, further details
will be omitted, although deserving
especial mention.
Electricity-This article would not be
complete without at least brief mention
of the power by which the miners on the
coast hope to still further reduce the cost
OF extracting and beneticiating their ores.
The success attending the installation of
the long.distance transmission at Bodie
and Sacramento has stimulated similar en-
terprises in the State. Among the more
notable ones, although there may be others
equally as important, but which have not
come under orr observation, may be men,
toned the following: That in Nevada
County, which is nearly completed, will
furnish the cities of Grass Valley and Me-
vada and surrounding mines with light
and power. In Placer County the South
Yuba Ditch Company is supplying the
towns OF Auburn, Loomis, Newcastle and
Sacramento, where it expects to compete
with the Folsom company for the business
of that city. In Ell Dorado County the
Grand Victory and also the Shaw mine
have completed the pre- liminaries for the
installation of a 500 horsepower plant
each. In Amador County all the mines
on the "mother lode'' will soon be
supplied with cheap electrical power
derived from the streams on the north
and south. In MERGED County the
MERGED Falls Electric Power Company will
utilize the water-power at the MERGED
Falls and supply the towns of Hor-
nitos. Coulterville. etc., in Mariposa
County, and the neighboring mines with
light and power, and the towns of MERGED
in MERGED County, Turlock in Stanis-
laus County, etc. From 1000 to
5000 is the estimated horsepower that
will be generated. The Rawhide Min
ing Company in Tuolumne County expects
to shortly install large plant for its own
use. As both Mariposa and Tuolumne

The word "mine" is here used indis-
criminately and may mean a large mine
or mere prospect" being developed.
Probably the largest enterprises are being
pushed in Amador, Calaveras, FL Dorado,
Mariposa, Shasta, Trinity and Tuolumne
counties. Newspapers report important
developments in Riverside, San Diego
and San Be-nardino counties, and some
of the lines are said to be fabuiously
rich.

IA. Eighteen have closed permanently,
partly because the expense would not JUS
tify the owners in enlarging their inn

The very small number of claims in
operation last month may be accounted
for by the lack of water, preparing the
claims for next seasons work, etc. 1t is
confidently expected that a hundred or
more will commence operations as soon as
the rainy season sets in. Thus it will be
seen that the gold output will be materi-
ally increased from this source.
The cyanide process has not made much
Roadway in this State for several reasons:
Cd Because the ores generally do not take
kindly to it; (2) because it is not thor
oughly understood by the miners, who are
averse to making changes in their reduc-
ton plants, and 60 because there are COM
paratively no "tailings' to apply the
process on. The close proximity of the
mills to the watercourses induced waste

which were rich in former years, they were
allowed to pass into the streams and be
carried away, Bodie fortunately retained
her tailings, and they are now being
worked at profit By three cyanide plants,
the largest of which has daily capacity of
$50 tons.
Gypsum occurs in many counties Of the
State, but is being mined only in Fresno,
Kern, Los Angeles, Riverside and San
Benito. The greater part is used as "land
plaster or fertilizer to counterfeit the
deleterious effect of the sodium carbonate
in the black alkali of number of the val
ley counties. The industry does not seem
to be thriving.
Hydraulic Cement-There was probably
some produced in 1898, but no returns were
made to the bureau. The only cement
now manufactured in this State comes
from Cotton, San. Bernardino County
Limestone suitable for making natural
cement occurs in Contra Costa County,
and small plant was erected for using it,
but is now idle. Cement is usually made
after a fixed formula by the admixture of
clay, lime and silica. It was formerly
manufactured so cheaply abroad and
brought here as "ballast," the local manu-

bors on the north this power will be the
direct cause of renewed activity in gold
mining there. A number are spoken of in
Kern, Los Angeles, Plumas and other
counties, but have not yet assumed definite
shape.

as nothing before has done. California
has heretofore labored under the dis
advantage OF high-priced fuel and there

those States more favored in this respect.
There is considerable rivalry between
the supporters of long-distance electrical
transmission and compressed air, each
claiming to be more economical than the
other. A long-distance compressed air
transmission plant has been devised for
the Pioneer mine in Placer County, and
after it has been in opera ton it is hoped
that sufficient data will be obtained for
comparison with electrical transmission.

The production seems to be diminishing,
probabiybecausel less mining by this process
is carried on each year. This is the only
State in the Union in which it is found in
commercial quantities.
Quicksilver ranked next to gold pre-
vious to 1894, and it now ranks third in
value OF the States mineral productions.
1t occurs in the counties of Alameda,
Colusa, Ell Dorado, Glenn, Lake, Monterey,
Naps, San Benito. San Francisco, San Luis
Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Sis
kiyou, Sonoma and Trinity. Only the
counties OF Lake, San Be nito, Santa Clara
and Sonoma produced any in 1894 or 1895.
The limited demand and competition with
Spain restricts the output, which may be
increased on short notice. This years
product is expected to be about the same
as last year.
Salt is produced in the counties Of
Alameda, Colusa, Riverside and San Ber-
nardino. By far the greater part comes
| from Alameda, where the waters OF the
! bay are conducted into shallow basins and
evaporated by the sun and breezes. A
fine quality of salt is made at Salton, Riv-
erside County, from deposit in the bed
of an old sea or gulf, several hundred feet
below the present sea level. A very pure
and almost transparent rock salt occurs in
a deposit of unknown depth some forty
miles south of Dandy station, San Ber-
nardino County. Steam wagons are en-
ployed to carry it to the railroad. The
| long railroad haul restricts the production
both at Salton and Dandy. We have no
statistics for this year, but it is supposed
that the DroductiOn will he abOut the sama
as last year.

Mining in Nevada
County.

"The conditions which prevail in the
mining regions OF this State to-day are en-
tirely different from those early periods
of gold mining" said J.. B. Fargo. the
wholesale liquor merchant of SIC Front
street, and one of the principal owners in
the Home gold minein Nevada County.
Mr.. Fargo continued: "For many years
after the discovery of gold in this State,
our immense gold yield was maintained
by very rude appliances and without sci
entifc knowledge of mining. They col
lected it in these places in quantities that
now seem marvellous. Gradually the area
available for this kind of mining began to
be narrowed, and attention had to be
turned to other sources for the gold of
which all were in search. After while it
was discovered that the great red hills in
the central and northern parts of CaIifor-
mia contained plenty of gold, though the
dirt was much poorer than the shallow
places, necessitatipg the handling of more
material. Then 1t was that hydraulic min
ing was resorted to. Then, too, they be-
gan to inquire as TO the source OF the gold,
and men began to hunt for and open quartz
lodges, the mother source of gold.
'The Home mine is located near Nevada
City. over Deer Creek, adjoining directly
west of the Providence and Champion
mines. The mine is equipped with fine
machinery. and splendid work is being
done. The company has three-foot
ledge on the 27o-foot level, showing free
gold through it, and the prospects are
very fiattering for big mine. A tunnel
has been sunk 800 feet, and we are still
sinking. The officers of the company are
Charles Goezinger, president; o. Z. john
son secretary, and Charles Kahl is super
intendent."

facturers were compelled to close their
works.
Infusorial earth is principally produced
from the vicinity of Carson, New, and in
the manufactured form is known as
"electro-silicon." This State produced
about 20 per cent of the total production
of the United States in 1894 and the bulk
came from Napa County.
Iron ore OF good quality exists in many
counties of the State, and often in extern
sive deposits. But the absence of a
suitable coal for blast-furnace work
prevents its being utilized. The de-
| mand for charcoal iron is limited, hence
charcoal furnaces have not been erected.
A small quantity only was shipped from
Shasta County in 94 to the iron works in
this City. None has been mined this year,
SO far as we can learn.
Lead, usually argentiferous or aurifer-
ous or both, occurs in several counties, but
is being mined only in Inyo and Mono.
The low price of silver affects this as welt
as silver mining. The output will be about
the same as last year.
Magnesite of good quality occurs in
Napa, Santa Clara and few other coun-
ties. The product of 1894 came from Napa
and was used for furnace Innings, and, in
the calcined state, for bleaching wood
paper pulp. 1t is also in demand for fur
nishing the carbon dioxide used in soda
water and like beverages. Heavy ship
ments would be made to the East were the
transportation charges not so high.
Manganese occurs in marketable guam
titles in Alameda, Marin, Napa, San
Joaquin. San Benito, San Luis Obispo,

total production of the United States. and
