The Ora and Julia mines we're locst
ed in 1892 by John Lyle of Orc Blencc
This property was sold to people o
Rochester, New York, three years ago
A ten stamp mill was erected on th'
| nine and good ore run through, result
ing in encouragement to the stock
holders. This management was KEEP
up until s. 81. Gould was put in al
superintendent. Mr. Gould has proven
to the owners that the ore is good by
spce 10 the treasury.
Heretofore the values went down the
Canyon in the tsilings II is said of tbs
late perintendept, Wm. a Hartt that
be sold hts interest believing the mines
| cbout worked out, but this property is
one of the bullion producers and viii
continue to be for many years.
The Ora is situated seven miles south
! Of Orc Bianc0, at an elevation of four
| thousand feet, and two miles and 8
half from the Sonora line. When the
present management went there but
three families were in the camp and
now you can count st least forty.
About two miles above and below the
Canyon can be seen tent under the
shadow of the Oak trees. At every
watering place can be seen a settler
Visitors from the outside are frequent,
last week Rev Father j Gheldof of
No8aias was in camp and christened
ten children and married ten couples.
1t rsquires nearly one hundred bur-
ros to keep the mill supplied with
wood. Hundreds of Oak trees are laid
low By the woodmen's az, but in their
place will spring up new shoots from
eroud the old truok that will make bet
ter trees than the old ones. The hills
are almost covered with wild flowers
filling the air with their peculiar fra
GRANGE. The Oak trees promise to give
good harvest OF scorns. In this sec
ton there are many rough lodges ofrock
that are covered with pretty figured
ferns. The roaring OF the mill, with
ITS crown OF steam, always brings hap
piness to a camp. When the mill is
idle there are no pleasant faces to be
seen, while the camp hts dull look.
The camp has fine water and splendid
climate.
Superintendent Gould's baby boy.

admired for his brightness and pluck
The greatest depth in the Julia is 13O
feet. kt this point the ore has been
worked out to depth OF some 40 feet,
and in length about 60 feet. AS depth
OF ninety feet the ore body is about II
feet wide and is said to value S35 per
ton. The indications are that the ore
body is psrm8nent and the values will
grow in depth. Other parts OF the mine
is being worked by tunnels and cuts
with good results.
