A MINING BOOM COMING.
The San Francisco Call Predicts
Lively Times This Season.

The San Francisco Call Predicts
Lively Times This Season.
The man who ownes the Rawhide, the
App, the Heslep, the Hitchcock and the
Valparaiso mines says that the industry
which first attracted the world to Cal
ifornia is on the eve of great awaken
ing that is not appreciated even in so
interested a commercial center as San
Francisco.
There is going to be terrible boom
this summer in gold mining, said Colo
mel w. Nevis at his apartment in the
Palace yesterday afternoon. 1T will re-
vive as the great industry of the state.
For thirty years 1 have been in that
country under which the mother lode
stretches, and l have owned at different
times the best mines in the counties of
Toulumne and Calaveras. The Utica
mine, now so well known for its en-
ormous output, was my property before
it was purchased by the present own
erS.
Amador, Toulumne and Calaveras are
the principal mining counties, and l
know every hole in them. I have
tramped all over that country for twen-
ty years, and packed my blankets; that
is why [ feel that / know something
of the mines and OF the prospects of a
boom.
There is a little old place in Tuo-
lumne county called Jamestown. 1t is
40 mining town, and like a good
many others of the same class, it be-
came only an evidence of bygone pros
perity and of men departed for other
diggings. Two or three years ago you
could have bought that whole town for
$40.
But it has taken on new life A fine
large foundry has just been completed
there by Demarest u Fuller The works
are now running and giving employ
ment to forty men. Saloons, stores
and other money gathering enterprises
have started up round the new center.
1t is midway between the App and the
Rawhide mines, which will furnish the
main source of revenue to the foundry.
In the Rawhide we are opening two
new levels, the 800 and 900. But the
most important Improvement is the es-
Establishment OF an electric plant, now al
most perfected. 1t will cost $4,000, and
will be used not only to light the whole
works, but to run all the machinery.
The power is obtained from springs
above Columbia, about seven miles dis
tant, and the water, conveyed through
an 11-inch pipe, furnishes a pressure of
LOO feet at the mine.
One hundred men are employed in
the Rawhide, which is virtually our
headquarters. The App, the Heslep and
the Hitchcock are three miles away and
are all on the mother lode
about three miles east from the
Rawhide we have had men prospecting
Tor six months in the Valparaiso. 1t
is on a vein outside the lode. They have
run tunnel in about 400 feet and have
reached good ore
1T is a mistake to think that a min
ing camp is necessarily a crude, uncom-
Portable place. The little community
at the Rawhide is very comfortably
housed amid picturesque surroundings
Mrs. Nevis and / spend a good deal
of our time there. We are going up to-
morrow for another visit

PARK record Mining Notes.

James T. Game left Thursday after
noon for Tintic mining district to close
up his option on the Independent-Ante-
sora mine near Diamond. He completed
the organization of his company with
out trouble and is prepared to pay the
cash bonus demanded and at the same
time have funds enough left 10 begin
active developments on the property,
which he expects to put on paying basis
within a few months. Several Parkites
are interested with him.
new departure in the handling Of
Anchor ores is now under consideration
and a decision is expected to be reached
in a few days that may change the whole
method of the company in relation to it's
low grade product. T. r. Jones, the
Salt Lake banker, is convinced mat ne
has found a cheap and effective method
of the company without resorting to
concentration, and a thorouhg test of
the process is now being made. Mr..
Jones made trip to the Park last week
in the interest of his new scheme and is
diligently investigating the chances for
success. The officers of the Anchor COM
pany are impressed with Mr. Jones' idea,
and if it should prove to be a success
mouth of the tunnel will be abandoned
and a plant erected in its stead accord
ing to the requirements of the new pro-
cess. The company had decided to erect
a new mill but work will be held back I'M
til the merits of Mr.. Jones idea are
proven up. and if successful the old mill
will be repaired and made to do duty
until the new plant can be erected and PUT
in operation. On the other hand, if the
scheme fails, the new mill will be started
at once and rushed to completion, as the
plant will be needed badly. The inten-
ton is to handle the crude ore just as it
comes from the mine, but the principle
involved and the form in which the ore
is reduced by it's APPLICATION is yet a
secret SO far as the public is concerned,
and will probably not be made public for
some time to come.

There is reported to be a steady i'm

Gable and Capt. Ryan naturally is quite
elated. He states to the Miner that he
has no doubt they are getting in close
proximity to the ore body.
Shipments from the district for the
past week are reported as follows: From
the Bullion Beck mine 20 carloads ore,
from the Bullion-Beck mill 10 carloads
concentrates, from the Centennial-Eu-
reka 3 carloads ore, from the Godiva /

A carload lot of about twenty-five tons
of first grade ore was shipped from the
Godiva this week and the ore body in

day. The erection of a steam hoist has
been definitely decided upon and when
this Improvement has been made the

THE GOLD QUEEN WINE.
Large Bodies of Pay Orc Blocked
Out in This Promising Property.

Out in This Promising Property.
j. R. Hickman, secretary and director
of the Gold mining company, accompa-
MED by Henry A. Mccormick, of this
city, and Tom D. Pitt, of Corinne, re-
turned yesterday from a visit to the
Queen mine in the Blue mountains,
San Juan county, bringing with him a
lot of ore samples from this promising
property.
The mine has been quite extensively
developed during the past two years,
and Mr.. Hickman reports that at the
present time they have a body of mill
ing ore blocked out, 63xS1X90 feet in di-
mansions, that will run all the way
from $15 to $40 in gold to the ton, while
some of it will make a showing way
UP into the thousands.
The company is now negotiating for
a mill, and it is expected that a plant
will be up and in operation sometime
in May. when the nervy stockholders of
the association will begin to receive
good returns for their capital invested.
The boys have had a long and tire
some trip, and report that up in the
mountains there was plenty of snow,
and that the temperature was anything
but tropical. Leaving their horses at
the foot OF the mountain, they made
the rest of the way to the mine on
foot. and after this experience are sat
isfied that they can give snow plow
spades and cards, and then make the
most Roadway, for they are experts in
snow navigation.
Mr.. Hickman, who is nothing if not
energetic and enterprising, has made
this tedious trip to the mine once every
month since he acquired an interest in
the property, and by so doing he keeps
in perfect touch with its development
and progress.
A force Of nine men is now employed
at the mine, besides the cook, all of
whom are under the direction of Su-
perintendent Haywood, who has I'M
bounded faith in the future Of the prop
erty.
Not far from the Gold Queen is the
Viking mine, owned by Leslie Taylor
and others. This property is looking
we'll, with good ore bodies in sight, and
it is the intention to erect a mill on
the ground this year.
From all indications the Blue noun
tain region will come to the front this
season in great shape. as the country
abounds in strong lodges, and wood and
water is plentiful

The Winamuck Mine.

At the Winamuck the force has been
steadily increased since the day the
new company began operations, until
there are now about forty men en-
ployed. Everything seems to move like
clockwork, says the Bingham Bulletin,
and certainly much has been accom-
plished. Two carloads OF crude ore
were sent out Tuesday, and there are
about $50 tons more broken and ready
for loading. A chute is completed, by
which ore is dumped directly into cars
on the Winamuck switch, and nothing
could be more handy. The building for
the mill is expected to be up within ten
days, and there will be little delay in
putting in the machinery, or in get
ting the hoist in place at the incline
the boilers in connection being now at
the mouth of the main tunnel.
a popularity noted at the Wilma
muck is that the water in the mine has
from some unknown cause receded

made when the property was last
working, and is now down to within
