An exchange says that electricity has
made a great change in mining in Call
fornia, where there are 500 more mines
at work than in 1895, the number now
being 2,41l employing Is, 80 men. Only
few years ago no ore which assayed
less than $40 a ton could be worked with
profit; now 81 ore may be made TO pay
If water power is near ana abundant.
Electricity gives the greatest aid TO the
miner, for it permits nlm to carry power
over mountain cayons, and to work mines
which were formerly inaccessible.
Western Mining World A rich find was
made last week in the Emmett mine on
Willow creek, Idaho. This property has
shaft sunk on an incline 10 a depth of
107 feet. At this depth nothing showed
but small Str.nger. The footwall was
cut through and Inc main vein was dis
covered. The ledge measured four feet
eight inches of good ore all of which car
ries free gold and will pay handsome
profits and 80 inches of it is very rich
There have been no assays taken as yet
on the new strike, but all who have seen
prospects of the richer streaks agree that
mill returns will run well into the hun
dredS.

boilers, a double hosting engine with
rope, a Knowles pump and other ma
chinery, and at the time of the sale de-
PENDANT represented that he was the
agent of the st. Paul and Butte Mining

worth % cents a share. By reason of
these representa- tons plaintiff was in
duced to accept 10000 shares of the stock

ceive and the stock is of no value what
