Sonoma County is awakening 10 the fact
that Its hills rich in treasures of gold, sill
yer, copper, quicksilver, coal, BILE, etc. A
vein OF manganese is supposed to lie near the
base of st. Helena Mountain, and its course is
said to have been traced by float for several
miles A black sand on the coast yields parti-
Giles OF gold. 1t was worked some time ago at
the mouth Of Bodega Bay with small success.
In the Santa Rosa Republican William NJ Got
waldt has an article, in the course of which he
says: "The mineral deposits of Sonoma
County, as evidenced by recent discoveries
seem principally to lie along line drawn
from English Hill to Occidental, thence north
erly to Cloyerdale, and then DETECTING to the
east at an angle of 80 deg.
Beginning at the lower extremity of the
line there is an extensive ledge of quartz, as
saying 81 in gold and 60 cents in silver. Pros
pect shafts have been sunk on the ledge and
assays made from a number of places Barren
rock has never been found lying between its
walls. Johnson & Stillwen of Bloomfield have
recently been doing considerable development
on the ledge, but have as yet treated none of
the ore. Around Occidental some excellent
float has been found lately.
ION Dutch Bill Hill, several miles from the
town, is located the Garibaldi gold mine,
which has been worked for several years.
Three assays recently obtained from different
laboratories average $12 Oh ton. This indi-
Gates rich strike, as the ledge is very extern
sive and has been growing better as develop
mentwork progressed. The ore body has been
tapped by drift over 200 feet long and a
shaft sunk sixty feet deep at the face of the
tunnel. II is expected to have a stamp mill at
work before the end of the year. The prin-
cipal stockholders in the mine are John Co
betti, Pedrini Bros, Gamella Bros. and Fran
cisco & Co.
LESS than a month ago valuable cinnabar
deposit was unearthed within the village of
Occidental by James Brian, who was digging
we'll on his property. The sulphate of quick
silver is embodied in vein of quartz 80 feet
wide. The einnsbar shows in tiny red streaks,
and is supposed to comprise 2 per cent of the
ledge matter where it is richest. Notwith-
standing the low price of quicksilver, the claim
looks like a paying property, at least worth
investigating.
an. c. Meeker has cut many thousands of
dollars worth of timber on his land, but he

ore, graphite ana pure ochre on many of his
