MINING NOTES.

cabin at McClanesburg for the No. 2
Company for the use OF its employees.
The Hutchinson Company will put up
a cabin at McClanesburg for headquar-
ters for it's mines. McClanesburg will
be a town pretty soon if this continues.
New tents and new buildings give it a
village appearance.
Some 10 tons Of Fair Stock gravel
have been sacked and are ready for
working.
The Oregon machine is now in opera
ting on gravel from a claim owned by
Mrs. Grotten. We understand the ma
chine does good work and We will t,ke a
look at it today.
Proctor & Norris are in search of an
engine with which to run their mill and
gold washer.
Several of the mine owners have out
ore and will make working tests OF it.
Day & Marks stage was loaded for
and aft Monday with passengers and
freight.
We are of the opinion that a little dill
igence on the part of p~rospectors they
will discover much more placer ground.
The working of the placer claims will
tend to show up new lodges. Such has
been the case with the Griner since the
Hutchinson Co. took hold OF it.
If gold was not hard to get it void not
be so valuable.
The four or five big rocks in the mid
die OF the road to the mines are u men,
ace to the limbs and the property OF those
who drive single rigs. 1t is dangerous to
make the drive after dark as we found
cut the other night. Complaints have
been numerous and as it would only
take a few days work to remove the
rocks. Itshould be done at once.
We understand that ~Torreyson& Sum-
merfeld have been retained by the
plaintiffs, Williams, Dodge & Pike, in
the suit for the Ora against Norris &
Proctor. Thec.sse comes up some time
next month.
Tom Crotch sold a one-third interest
in the Toll Gate placer claim for 500
last week. The parties who bought are
trying to sell it.
We opine the output of gold from
Olinghouse will increase from 0 on.
A shaft is being sunk on the Mountain
Boy on the ledge. The ore is not 50 rich
as it was ON the surface but still OF good
grade.
The Hutchinson tunnel is being push
ed by a day and night force and is a sue
cession Of surprises pleasing to the own
ers. Milling ore of good quality and
promise of considerable quality is being
encountered and as the tunnel advances
more information will be given out. 1t
ia a question of time.
Assayer w. D. Linton melted the
gold taken from the run made by the
Hutchinson Company Saturday into an
ingot that commended much attention
in town. 1t was of good color and vent
$l5.44 per ounce. We are convinced that
Mr.. Linton Thoroughly understands his
business and we had to admire the ease
and rapidity with which he worked. We
feel under many obligations to him for
valuable information given to US by him
and his labors to advance our home
mining interests, are appreciated by the
many prospectors whom he has encour-
aged and aided. His knowledge and
experience has helped us over some
rocky places and the general interests
lie manifests is to be highly commended
by our people who would like to see

He BROKE THE TWENTY.
Asked to Change a Gold Piece james
Bennett Took the Occasion to
Collect a Bill.

James Bennett a conductor on the
Howard-street line, was rested yester-
day afternoon on a charge of petty
larceny, at the instance of j. 6. Whittier
contractor. The theft was n matter of
SIS, which, according to Bennett, has stood
between the two for many months. From.
his cell in the California-street station
where he was taxing the situation very
phiiosoph ically, Bennett told the story:
He SAID that he had worked for Whit
tier, and that the latter failed TO pay him
an inde btedness in the sum named. He
had, time and again, requested payment
but had always been refused. On Wednes-
day the Two met in the Washington
restaurant on Mason street, opposite the
pOwer-house. When Whittier came to paw
his score he handed the cashier a double
eagle. He could not make the change
Whittier turned to Bennett, who sat at
nearby table, and asked him If he could
break a twenty. Bennett said he could,
placed the gold piece in his pocket and
handed back a five, remarkIng, Now we
are square" Whittier made fuss. of
course, but Bennett could not be prevailed
upon to give mp the money which he
claimed Whittier had owed him for so
long time. The result was the charge
of petty larceny.

rest will be easy, to use turf expression.
One of the prime movers in the new
ventur said yesterday that the plans and
specifications for the grounds and grand
stand we're already drawn up and that
the lease for the tract of land selected
will probably be filed within the next three
days. The grand stand, which will be
capable of seating 1000 persons, will be of
a modest type of architecture, costing in
the neighborhood OF $4,000. The grad
ing for the track, which will be six fur
longs in circumference with a ''shoot"
cutting across the inner field from the far
turn to the wire, will be done by Warren q
Malley. Good and comfortable stabling
room will be provided for horsemen and
their charges. 1t will be opened to the
public on August 1.
The stock will be no drug on the market,
as 1t is said TO be in good demand. Among
those mentioned as pro obable shareholders
are George Rose, the well-known book
maker; Senator Mahoney, Charles Fair
and Joe Harvey, owner of the speedy
Wheel OF Fortune and other horses.
Regarding the cost of transportation to
San Clement, the site of the new course, il
is quite likely that 80 cents will take race
goers 10 and from the track as we'll as

YOSEMITE RATE CUT,
The Valley Road Announces
an Important Reduc-
ton.
Fare for the Round Trip From San
Francisco Is Down to
S24.5o

The managers of the Valley Railroad
yesterday made an imp mportant reduction
in the rates OF fare to the Yosemite Valley.
The charge for the round trip was reduced
from $29 80 to $24 80. Tourists 30 by boat
from this City to Stockton, thence by rail
to Merced ana thence by stages of the
CoultervilIe road to the valley. Tickets
may he had at the Office of McLaughlin &
Burke 634 Market street, from the Valley
road Office, 321 Market street, or from the
California Navigation and improvement
Company's office at Washington. street
wharf.
The stages of the line are new, having
been built last winter specially for this
travel. In riding in the carryalIs or
wagonettes it seems like making the trip
in ones own private carriage. The roads
are in good condition, the scenery on the
route is magnificent and the service at the
eating sta tions is good.
Now that the season of vacation is at
hand, with Christians and schooltesch rs
on the wing, the tide of travel TO the
valley may be largely increased.
