Mining Notes

The Greenhorn Blue Gravel mine, south
of Yreka, continues to pay handsomely
with thirty-five men employed. and should
we have rain or snow soon to furnsh a
better supply of water for washing.
much larger force will be employed. The
company expecting to take charge of this
mine by the Goth, under agreement to
purchase may probably open it up on
still more extensive scale, as it is the
intention to organize a company with a
capital of $50,000.-Yreka Journal.
The Redding Free Press says that a Ger
man syndicate is about to develop an
other Keswick in Shasta county. They
are negotiating for group of copper
mines located between Saltwater and Pitt
river. The purchase of the property
means the erection of smelters and the
location of a new town similar to Kes-
wick.
The coal output of the Corral Hollow
mines at Tesla, Contra Costa county,
will soon reach HOO tons per day. The
first extensive and successful coal mine
of the state is now in full operation, and
will hereafter cut a large figure in both
the local market and in the record of Cali
fornia's mineral production.
The new adit tunnel at the Dunderberg
mine which will cut the ledge $50 feet
below the present tunnel, is now in 100
feet and progressing at the rate of about
forty feet week. Some very rich ore
has lately been discovered in a winze be-
low the tunnel level, assaying $3.50 per
ton 1t is reported that the English COM
pany owning the property is reorganizing,
with the object of raising larger capital
to thoroughly develop the property-Bodie
Miner-Index.
Superintendent Sleeves is feeling jubil-
liant over the prospects at the Redick
gravel mine. The owners have decided to
erect a new mill on the property to crush
the gravel which is rich and plentiful
At present the channel is over fifty feet
in width and onsthe increase. Hon. ]. F.
Kidder. George Fletcher and other Grass
Valleyans are the owners of the mine, and
1t looks very much as though their eff
forts will be rewarded.-Grass Valley

The Denver Industry and Review says:
$50 far as history tells, the largest produc-
tion of gold in any one year in any one
country was the state of California alone.
1t produced in one year over a, ZOO, 900 ounces
of gold, valued at over $S1 COO, 000 When the
Klondike equals that 1t can have just
claim to being the richest region ever dis
covered"
A 15-stamp mill is being put on the Slate
Range mine in San Bernardino county,
forty miles northeast of Randsburg. Two
shipments from this mine to the smelling
works showed 5000 to $3.50 per ton.
Development is especially active in the
mines located along the. Colorado desert
in the eastern part of San Diego county.
The Signal Hill group Cargo Muchacho
district, San Diego county, consists of
twenty-six claims, Eastern parties are
about to examine the property.
The United Yucca company organized
under the laws of West Virginia, is about
to begin mining in San Bernardino county.
A teamster is reported as having picked
up $500 nugget Of gold on a Tuolumne
county road recently. No one need go there
on that account, as the supply of team
sters exceeds that of nuggets.

Adjourned Court to FIGHT

Justice of the Peace Parr of Milan,
Mo-, is always willing to support his
legal opinions with his muscle. During
the progress of trial there a bench
warrant was issued for John M. Clapp,
an attorney, who was charged with con-
tempt. Justice Parr sentenced Clapp to
five hours in the county Jail, but later
modified the sentence to a fine, which
was paid.
Clapp, burning under the punishment
inflicted by the court, continued to make
irritating comments during the progress
Of the trial. Justice Parr ordered Clapp
to take seat. To this Clapp retorted
by requesting Parr to adjourn court for
two minutes, so that the judge and law
yer might be on the same footing.
To the surprise of the spectators, JUS
tice Parr Immediately adjourned court
and, selling an iron poker, assailed
Clapp. The two men exchanged blows,
but were separated before serious injury
could be inflicted by either
Clapp was led from the room, and
Justice Parr returned to the bench, called
the court to order and proceeded with
the trial.--Chicago Record.

NOVEL WINDOW DRAPERY
Simple in Construction and Cost but
Handsome in Appearance

A charming effect at window with
curtain that is at once a graceful
drape and mellows the tone of the room
by filtering the light beautifully, Is the
economical contrivance of New York
artist, Miss Alice Donbery, who took
the gold medal for tapestry at the worlds
fair.
A white lace curtain Of least eIpen-
sive make, but good and bold floral
design, had become the worse for wear
in the laundress' hands, and what to do
with it was a problem. 1t was mounted
on old gold yellow cheese cloth at cents
yard; tackled on quilting frame, and
the outlines were evenly but sketchily
run in with old gold yellow crewel
stitches. 1t was then whipped at the
edge, finished with brass rings, run on
mahl stick and passed through two
polettes, which served as window brack-
cts.
To make the light more grateful to
the eye, the lower part of the window was
lined with white tissue paper pasted in
without a crease, which when dry gives
faint gray light so needful to the artist
who at that angle must guard against
glare. The curtain was, however, one
of a pair for tiny drawing room. The
effect was rich, and only on close ex-
animation revealed it's simplicity of
method.-Chicago Times Herald

Possibilities of the San Carlos

A. F. Snyder of Tucson, owner of some
mining claims located on the San Carlos
reservation, is enthusiastic over the pos

miles of the coal fields The coal there is
the best have ever seen. 1t has not yet
been determined how extensive the deposit
is. but that which has been developed is
of the best quality. The coming of the
railroad will no doubt open up these fields
and also the gold, silver and copper re-
sources of the country"

Fred Eser has returned from Virginia
Dale, where he has been looking after the
Ingersoll and Esler mines in that district.
Mr.. Esler has in his possession 500 bar of
gold that was taken out by Isaac Reed in
one week with dry washer, without as
sistance. Reeds claim is just west of the
o X mines. The gold was taken from a
piece of ground fifteen by twenty feet sur

Shrewsbury. At their lodgings Mr.. Will
liams began to smoke. Sir Hardinge
protested. He said he never smoked"
and eventually his eminent junior had
to put on macintosh and smoke his
cigar in snowstorm. Mr.. Montagu
Williams did not have to wait long for
an opportunity to retaliate. Sir Hard
inge carried his habit of punctuality to
height that was only equaled by his
politeness. He would have breakfast
ready to moment, but would never
commence without his junior. That
morning Mr.. Montagu Williams tarried
so long over his toilet that he did not
enter the breakfast room until three
minutes before the hour at which the
court sat. He writes:

chair before an enormous fire. The

1t was my duty to be down in time and

without any breakfast at all. But I

Globe smelter Blown In

After almost years idleness the United
Globe smelter was blown in at Globe last
week. There is general rejoicing in that
section of country as a consequence. The
smelter employs 300 men, and there is ore
enough in the company's mines to keep
the smelter working steadily. There is
now large supply of coke at Geronimo

1t has always been maintained by the

no right to appropriate funds for the sup

association, which has been fighting the

now the courts have determined the matter
and upheld this view. The Yuba county
supervisors appropriated money for one of
them to attend the meeting of the Anti
Debris association, but his claim for the
money was held by the district attorney to
be illegal. Suit was brought in the superior
court and on an adverse decision appeal
was made to the supreme court This lat
