when they closed down for the winter.
Until the late storm the winter has been
an open one in Bodie. One hundred men
are employed in the cyanide works. The
plants are owned mainly by John Kelly,
J. S. Cain, c. c. Radcliffe and Alexander
McCone. Mr.. Kelly is the live superin-
tendent of the Bodie, Mono, Bulwer and
six or seven other claims in Bodie.
"The miners get 81 per day and earn the
money. AS many as 285 were employed
the past year, ana about 255 are at work at
present. Mono is going ahead. The
travertine quarry, three-quarters of q
mile from Bridgeport, the county seat,
will be worked in the spring. 1t is the
only quarry of it's kind in the United
States. Times are good in Mono, and the
county debt is only $4,000.
"Inyo County is making steady but
slow growth. Some mining is still being
carried on. It is fine agricultural ard
stock county, but needs railroad connec-
ton from Keller, the terminus of the Car
son and Colorado Railroad Company,
to Mojaye in order to open a market for
its various products and have rapid trans-
portation. Fine grapes and fruits of all
kinds are grown there"
Mr.. Minor is here in connection with
mining cases before the United States
court. He will remain for couple of
weeks at least.

THE PRIDE OF SONORA.
A. Magnificent Christmas Present III ade
by W. A. Nevilis.

by w. A. Nevilis.
w. A. Nevills, the owner of the Rawhide
mine, at jamestown, and the most pro-
gressive business man in Tuolumne Coun-
", has been in this City for some days
past perfecting, or rather closing contracts,
calculated to push the historical town of
Sonora some few pegs upward in the
stellar constellation of this States great
cities.
Sonora, the most important station on
the way to Yosemite Valley, the heart of
Tuolumne County, and the distributing
point for the rich mines of three counties,
heretofore has had but the usual hotel
accomm odations found in the ordinary
mining camps. This has been very great
drawback for many years, and even COM
merciaI travellers, with every inducement
to travel over the mountainous stage
routes to reach there, have held back TO
very great extent.
Mr. Nevills, who is the proprietor
of the regular stage route between Sonora
and Milton, and who has means enough to
carry out his wish to push Sonora to the
'front.' decided he would give his town such
a modern hotel as TO equal any, IL not
outdo many in the State. He has pur-
chased nearly a half block on the main
thoroughfare OF the city, and already the
foundation of q three-story and basement
stone building is in course of construction.
The building will have magnificent lawns
on the south and east sides, and is to be
lighted by electricity and gas. Hot water
in every room and bathrooms galore On

GOLD MINING EXCHANGE,
An Organization That Will Aid
in the Development Of
Coast Mines.
New Life Will Be Infused Into an In.
dustry That Is Now Practically
Suspended.

The Gold Mining Exchange of California
will be formally organized on Saturday.
The main purpose of the proposed organi-
zation is to develop the gold-mining re-
sources of the Pacific Coast by lending as
sistance in the way of securing capital to
holders OF good property which now lies
idle solely because the owners are poor and
unable to mine their ore. Now and then
prospector is enabled to secure capital,
but the investors are in the main capital
lists living in the East and Europe.
The promoters OF the Gold Mining Ex-
change are anxious that the capitalists Of
California should reap the dividends now
derived by the foreign investors. They
argue that this can be done by placing
good properties into the market and
through the aid of the exchange raise
capital to develop them.
Waiter Turnbull, chairman of the COM
mittee, stated that an unusual number of
Eastern capitalists had their eyes upon
California and its gold mines. These were
seeking good properties in which to invest,
but owing to the fact that no reliable par
ticulars regarding undeveloped mines are
obtainable the investments could not be
made.
at is our Intention" said Mr.. Turnbull.
''to secure data concerning every gold
mine in California. A committee will be
appointed to visit all these properties and
make reports thereon. Investors will
then apply to us and receive def mite in
formation, which they now lack, and
which will aid them materially in making
their investments. In my opinion the Ex-
change will be of vast benefit to the State
of California. It will also be of benefit to
the owners of good-mining properties
which now lie idle because of lack of
money to develop them. 1t will attract
the eyes OF the world to California and
bring wealth into the State. Finally, it
will infuse new life into an industry which
is now practically dead, and every branch
of trade on the coast will be benefited
thereby"
Nearly all of the mining men in the City
are taking an active interest in the matter,
and when the exchange meets in the Mills
building Saturday the organization will be
made permanent. An effort will be made
to have the membership, now limited to
fifty, increased at the meeting. The roll
of charter members includes the following
names: John M. Daggett, Charles G. Yale,
Horace G. Ranlett, William K. Flint,
George r. Wells, S. P. Holden, Walter
Turnbull, Rudolph Herold Jr., julius

a Boston man who was i'll Antwerp
while the preparations were in progress
for the exposition. Representatives of
all nations were there preparing exhib
its from their respective countries. In
the evening all the visitors were in the
habit of gathering in large hall on
the grounds to listen to the band play.
Out Of compliment to the visitors the
national airs of the different countries
were played and received an ovation
from the group of that nationality in
the hail. The night that our Boston
friend attended the band performance
this playing of national airs was on the
programme. All were played, but not
a thing that could be twisted into an
air for the bird of freedom. A delega-
ton of the Americans went up to the
leader and told him that they felt
sighted; that their country bad not
been recognized. With profuse apollo
gies the leader said it was clearly All
oversight and promised to give them
the American air at once. He distribut
ed the music, and, waving his baton, the
band broke loose, not with any familiar
patriotic air, but ''The Man That Broke
