SKULL VALLEY STRIKE.
Body of Gold Ore Found Near the
kanaI1a Ranch That Assays Well.

<anaISa Ranch That Assays Well.
Within the past two or three months
considerable prospecting work has
been going on in the neighborhood of
what is known as Kanaka ranch in
Skull valley. and if all reports that
have been received from there OF late
are true. there is reason TO believe
that Skull valley is on the eve of quite
a mining boom.
A few days ago, so The Herald is
informed. W. J. Snyder of this city,
while pushing development work On
his claims in that locality, opened up
a fine body of ore at a depth of 80 feet
that assayed $3.50 in gold TO the ton.
and il is stated that the deposit gives
promise of being permanent one,
and as the mineral is a good teaching
ore and very similar in character TO
that found III the mines at Mercur
there is no reason 10 doubt but that it
can be worked by the cyanide process
Since making the discovery Mr.. Sny-
der has been keeping very still regard
ing the matter until he could get tests
made on the ore, and news of the find
was not given out until he left for
the valley Thursday afternoon for the
purpose of stalking out more claims in
the same locality.
Now that it is known, however. that
pay ere has been found near the
ranch. there is sure to be a rush TO the
scene of The new discovery, and it was
stated yesterday that already some of
the early birds had left for that region.
One or two old prospectors who have
looked the ground over. and who are
familiar with the formation at Phoebe,
New, say that. in their opinion, the

TAILINGs AND PLACERs.
w. II. Smith Ties Up Good Ground in
California;

California.
w H Smith of Milford, the well
known mining operator. who has been
in California for the past month look
ing up placer diggings and old gold
tailings, returned Thursday night, ana
now is in close consultation with the
owners of the Mitchell Acme Flour Gold
Amalgamator, as it is the intention to
operate these machines on properties
on the coast on which Mr.. Smith Sc
cured bonds and options during his alb
sence, among these being the old West
Point tailings dump in Amador county.
This pit so The Herald is informed,
carries values of from IS to Sl2 IN Tree
gold to the ton. an = it is claimed that
there are about 1000 tons of this KIND
of dirt in the dump. This pit OF tail
ings is all of So years old, being the
product Of a mill that was extremely
crude in its construction. and during
the long years that the tailings have
been in the pit civilization has taken
place, thus liberating the gold That
was not in a free state, and IT is es-
timated that with one of Mitchells
amalgamators installed on the ground
a very high percentage of the assay
values of the dirt can be saved.
Mr. Smith also tied up half mile
on both sides of Dry creek, about eight
miles from Jackson. in Amador county,
and this ground, he states, will pan in
the neighborhood of s1.25 in fine gold
to the cubic yard, and besides this the
gravel is charged with the tailings from
the old keystone mill that was worked
in the early SOS. and with the combi-
nation of the natural placers and the
rich tailings from the mill there is no
reason to doubt but that the ground
can be worked to good advantage the
gold on Dry creek has always been so
fine that it could not be saved by the
ordinary sluicing methods, but Mr.
Smith is confident that with the Mitch
ell machines he can save nearly every
color in the diggings. and it is the in
tention. together with his associates,
to install machines at once on the Dry
creek placers and also at the West
Point tailings, besides which he has
other tailings and placer fields in view
for which he is now negotiating, and if
he is successful in securing these he
proposes to work them also.

The south Swansea.

Tintic Miner: The Miner is reliably
informed that the South Swansea Min
ing company has plenty of money on
hand to pay a substantial dividend, in
fact, several of them, but that they do
not propose to commence the disburse-
ment until they are absolutely certain
of their ability TO make the payments
continuous. When the dividends COM
mence they can therefore be depended
upon to continue adding to the wealth
of the stockholders each month. In
the meantime the work at the mine is
continued as usual, the shaft is going
down, the ore body is being opened up
and the high grade ore is being RAPIDLY
hoisted and deposited in the ore house.
from which drafts are being regularly
made for the weekly shipments.
