ANGELS CAMP, CAL. Dec. 14.-Never
County has such interest been shown in
this industry as is being manifested here
at the present time Men with capital
and experience are coming in here daily in
quest of opportunities for investment.
The records show that hardly week
passes without some practically undevel-
oped property being bonded or sold to out
side parties. In nearly every instance
those who have put their money into these
enterprises are we'll satisfied with their in
vestments, and are vigorously pushing the
work of development, putting up the lat
est improved machinery for this purpose.
The new ten-stamp mill at the Iulloch
mine, which was recently purchased by
Eastern capitalists for $4,000, was started
UP last week. There are three Frue con-
centrators in the mill. 1t is predicted that
the ore in this mine will go at least So a
ton. An average of thirty-five men are
daily employed there, but the force will be
largely increased as development work
progresses. This company has purchased
and bonded several other claims, and has
the money to prospect them on an extern
SlNe SCALE. MI. OOuDe, d Wealthy leoiuciit
of Indiana, is at the head of the enter
prise.
The Utica company has about finished
grading for the addition to the chlorina-
ton works, and the erection of the. build
ing was begun this week. Only one fur
mace will be built at present, the other to
be added in the spring. These will make
eight furnaces in all, and will constitute
the largest chlorination plant in the world.
Several more concentrators have been
added to the com pany's Stickles mill. The
Madison mine, also owned by this COM
pany, is closed down, owing to the scarcity
of water ,and cannot be started up until
there is rain. There is snow in the maun-
tains, but the nights are so cold that the
water freezes. There is only about enough
water in storage to run the Utica and
Stickles mines the balance of this month,
and the people are becoming anxious.
Superintendent Howell went to San
Francisco recently and purchased quite a
number of concentrators for the Jones
mine. This property is yielding splen-
didly; IN fact, it is generally understood
| that rich strike, which promises per-
manency, was recently made there. The
company contemplates putting up chlosi-
nation works next spring.
Negotiations for the sale of the Birney
mine are pending, and should the con-
templated transfer be consummated, as
seems likely. the property will be opened
Immediately. The shaft is down $50 feet.
The State Mining Bureau is authority for
the statement that eleven veins of quartz
| are known to exist on the surface of this
property, and that two blind veins have
| been discovered beneath. These veins will
come within zone 200 feet wide. Several
| of the veins yield well. The two veins that
have been prospected contain from three
to four per cent of auriferous sulphurets,
and the general features of the mine re-
semble those of the Utica.
| Otto Dolling who owns the Claude mine
at Albany Flat, has received a cablegram
! from European parties, who have been
negotiating for the purchase of the prop
erty, asking for an extension of sixty days
time to permit the capitalists to get to-
gether and fully discuss the proposition.
Denver parties have bonded the Oneida
claim for SIC, 900, and are preparing to do
sinking work.
1t is said that Colonel Nevill of the Raw
! hide, which is located across the river in
Tuolumne County, has contracted to have
an electric operating plant put in not later
than February.
Work at the Hardy mine, located on the
outskirts of town and now owned by Mr..
Butts, is being vigorously prosecuted. New
hosting works were completed lately. Mr..
Butts has purchased and bonded several
other properties, and seems to have the
money and enterprise to extensively de-
velop them.
Drifts are being run north and southeast
at the Pure Quill mine, which, at distance
of 100 feet, will crosscut the vein. There
are about $50 tons of rock on the dump,
which assays high. Superintendent Harry
Routledge, as we'll as all who have in
spected the property, believes that the
Pure Quill is to become valuable mine.
