matte organ; knows all about g, horse
and can give the editor Of Moore's
Rural New Yorker pointers on a Jersey
cow or a short-horn steer.
Besides this he is a man who knows
a whole lot about mining and the in
formal ton herein contained anent the
mines in the vicinity is the result of a
vocal effort on his part, superinduced
by several series of adroit questions
on the part of the writer.
Tinpay canyon is the great center
Of mining interest in that locality. 1t
is ten miles from the town proper, and
is easy of access, If one can get team
and is a good walker. 1t is not unlike
other mining regions. and when the
town gets a line of railroad, ore can
be hauled to the track as easy as from
any place where ore is hauled.
The May group which was incor-
porated some months ago, with cap
ital stock of $1,000, goo, divided into
100000 shares of the par value of 81

The Free Coinage Mining and Mill

group, runs in silver and lead, while

and shows up well. The whole country

Up in Mining canyon in the same dis
trict, there is the Bonanza, which is
owned by Hudson, Stephenson and
Willis. This is a low grade mine and
runs very high in lead. There are
bodies Of ore in sight and when war
breaks out the Bonanza can keep an
army supplied with bullets.
Judge Vanderhoof, John Peterson
and F. Knowlton have a bond on the
Carbonate for $4,000, and are going to
take it at once. This property is
showing up finely.
In Little Mountain, four miles from
town, John DeLamar has ten claims,
cyanide ore which runs as high as
50 in gold, and there is plenty there to
work on.
One mile distant from there Frank
Knox of the National Bank Of the Re-
public has twenty-three claims upon
which he is working small force of
men.
Robert Butterworth Of this city, also
has some claims there and is working
g small force thereon.
THE THIRD TERN.
Thomas Jennings of this city owns
the Third Term mine, but has leased
the same to David James, who is
working twelve men. Two four-horse
teams are employed in hauling
ore This mine has been in bad
shape, owing to poor management in
early days 1t had to be reGnodeled
and timbered. One car Of ore has been
shipped recently and two more will be
sent away soon. If a railroad should
be built there this mine will ship two
cars per day. The ore runs from At to
so per cent in lead. 1t is low grade Of
course, but there is an immense
amount of ii in sight.
Frank Gootch, S. l.. Worthington,
Robert Orr and c.. W.. Dull, own the
Wildcat, southwest of the Kanaka
ranch, which runs from 20 to 900 ounces
in silver. IA to 80 per cent copper and
S. in gold. It too is waiting for a
railroad.
Coming around the point of the
mountain above Grantsville, a load Of
days when ii was hauled from point
east Of the Kanaka ranch to Stockton
for fuXing purposes, attracted atten-
ton from the fact that there was a
location notice thereon. On looking at
it the name of J. NJ. Hamilton, attor-
ney-at-law of this city. David Judd
and Jesse Stephenson appeared. AS
the stuff is in the valley with a thous-

would infer that either innocence or
mischeviousness prompted the location
