ing been recently bonded to the
Ramshorn M. & S. Co. for $45,-

carried on to fully develop the
mine.
The Bayhorse M. & S. Co.,
which constructed the original
smelling plant in Bayhorse, in
188O-operating the same until
May, 1883-reduced G, 745 tons of
ore, mainly from Bayhorse dis
trict, yielding 1862, 1876 ounces in
silver, or on an average of 1913
ounces per ton. This showing
and it's subsequent record, to-
gether with the history of indi-
vidual mines, must carry convic-
ton to the minds of mining men
as to the worth and stability of
the mineral resources of Bay
horse district.
In 1880 the Salmon River M.
&c S. Co. began the erection of a
25-ton smelter, and operated it,
under the management of G. B.
Rustin, during sc days in the
Summer of 1881 and 90 days in
1882. The works are built on an
advantageous site at Clayton.
With a daily capacity of 90 tons
of ore, it produced in 1881 220
tons of base bullion, containing
100, 900 ounces of silver, and in
1882 the production is estimated
at o~ne-fourth this amount. At
the beginning of 1884 the smell
ter and several mines were sold
to A. J. Crook & Co., with Mr.
Crook as manage, who at once
put the works in shape for a
summers run. From June to
October the smelter had reduced
1910 tons of ore, containing 1885,
841 ounces silver. Another run
in November closes operations
for this season. Among the
prominent mines owned by the
new company + the Ella, Over

They are situated near the smell
ter. On Poverty Flat, A miles
distant, this company owns the
Silver Bell, Youknow and Re-
demption, all of them well devel-
oped. The last named has pro-
duced about $50 tons of ore, CON
tanning about 800, 900 in silver.
The Silver Bell in 1881 produced
$50, 900.
-Four miles above Clayton is
situated the Redbird, owned by
the same company. Not only
can the ledge groupings be trac-
ed 600 feet in length, and 10 to
40 feet in width, but ashaft sunk
100 feet, and so feet of levels
therefrom, are all in ore varying
in value from low to high grade.
The average of ore shipments
made this past Summer is 35
ounces silver per ton, with 35
per cent lead. The Kirk Bros.
own the Cinnabar mine. An in
cline $50 feet long is in good ore,
and the production has been full
ly 200 tons, averaging 80 ounces
in silver and 40 per cent lead.
At the East Fork district the
Germania and Attic were located
in 1879, and owned by J. d.
Wood. He has shipped from
them 600 tons of ore, averaging
-
$50 ounces silver, $40 gold, and

THE oPBRA-HOUSB FIRE,

ALAMEDA, CAL, May 10.-There are
no new Developments with regard to the
opera-house fire. The cause remains as
much mystery as ever. 1t is thought
leaky gas Jet may have had something to
do with starting the flames, and it is also
suggested that lot of greasy rags used
for cleaning wheels in the cyclery may
have played a part in the origin of the
tlre. But i will be difficult to learn The
exact cause the destruction was so COM
pete. 1t now appears that the delay in
getting water on the flames at first was
caused by disarrangement of the hydrant
from attaching hose to it at first and then
removing 1t 10 give place TO the engine.

was driving and showering all m amer of
abuse on him, while some of her friends
applauded and some of Berneps took his
part and all seemed anxious Ior q mix.up.
The arrest # the lady, however, restored
order. She at once pleaded not guilty,
and after short trial was acquitted.
While the trial was in progress GaIlegos,
the prosecuting witness, was having
trouble with Joe Bernel, who is also in
terested in the case. The two men were
making all kinds of dire threats, and the
bystanders expected to see tragedy, but
the Marshal came along, Gallegos secured
Bernel's arrest, they were all march ed
into court, Bernel pleaded guilty of dis
,urbing Gallegos' peace and paid mis- fine.
AS he walked out OF court he declared he
would have revenge. Galegos also de-
clares he is out 10 be revenged or all his
enemies. Mrs. Amador has indicated the
manner in which her revcngefui spirit
manifests itself. Antoine Bernel also wants
satisfaction, and as Pleasanton is small
place and some Of the opposing factions
are bound to rub shoulder. with each other
a few times a day the Marshal has pre-
pared himself for the worst.
A feeling OF intense bitterness exists be-
tween the two factions, and on account Of
the numerous arrests and the felony
charge hanging over Mrs. Amador an out
break is hourly expected.

there Is a murder or two at Pleasanton.
TIE Amadors and the Gallegos have
fallen out and declared war, and as they
are both of belligerent nature blood is
likely to flow.
Mrs. Amador recently, 1t is alleged,
ouarreled with her neighbor, Frank Gal
legos. and soon after the quarrel Gallegos
was shot, but not badly, by some one on
Mrs. Amador's premises. As near as
could be ascertained, the shot came
through a knothole in a big fence between
the two properties. Mrs. Amador, of
course. could not be seen by Gallegos, but
witnesses asserted that she was near her
side OF the knothole when the shot was
fired. In court the case against the
woman was considered strong enough to
hold her over to answer for an attem pt to
murder.
Since the examination war has twice
broken out again. The witnesses in the
case met and had an excitable time on
the street. Hostile action was only pre-
vented by the arrest of Mrs. Amador.
Antoine II. Bernel, witness opposed to
her. caused her arrest and charged her
with disturbing the peace. Mrs. Amador

On New Years day, 1885, Justus Gading
was born at Bremen, and for a few years
he worked as printer; afterward went to
sea for year or two along the coast of
Europe and served for a short time on a
German man-of-war.
When he was but 90 years of age he
came with his parents around Cape Horn
to California. They arrived here in 1856,
and after very short stay in San Fran
cisco they settled at Mount Eden, ac-
quired a moderate-sized ranch, and the
family has lived there ever since. Many
years ago young Justus became i'm bued
with the gold fever, but very short ex-
perience at the mines convinced him that
there was more in farming than in min
ing, and after two months experience he
returned to the Alameda County ranch.
Anxious to start in business on his own
account, he located on farm III San
Lorenzo, but one year was sufficient to
convince him that he could do better on
the old homestead, SO ne returned to the
Gading ranch and has made his home
there ever since.
Several years ago he married Miss
Catherine Foste, and their two children
are now living on the ranch.
A few months ago Gading began to feel
the effects of old age and was stricken
down with sickness. He gradually be-
came worse and for several weeks his
death has been expected.
Nine years ago, in company with his
wife, he visited the scene of HIS boyhood,
and feeling that he was breaking up, he
repeated the visit three years ago, on
which occasion he was accompanied by
his daughter. His estate is large and in
good shape, and his son is thoroughly
qualified to carry on the old homestead,
which has now been the abode of three
generations. The estimated value OF the
property is about 5000, 600.
