worked nearly forty years ago, and was then known to be a valuable property. Facilities for working ore at that time were rather crude and the parties who were attempting to work the mine had but little money and very little knowledge of how to reduce ore successfully. At that time there were no concentratorS and no means of saving the sulphurets, which contains the greater portion of the gold, sacks and blankets. Therefore, the mine was not at that time a success. Under the present improved system of reducing the ore and concentrating the rich Sul- phurets the mine is bound to be suc- cess. The parties having the mine in hand
 at present have plenty of money and every facility to extract the gold from the ore, and, therefore, we may look for grand developments in this mine in the
 near future.-Mountain Echo.
 fine ledge was encountered in the
 Potazuba mine in Amador County last
 week. Where discovered it was only two | feet thick, but gives promise of widen l ing. The regular monthly clean up at 1 the South Eureka mine last week showed | no decrease in the richness of the ore.
 Sinking in the north shaft is still going | on and a depth of nearly 1500 feet has 1 been obtained.-Calaveras Citizen. i The liveliest mining camps in the coun- | ty at present are on the rivers, where 1 ting down to the pay channel. The sea l son, by reason of low water, is favorable l for bottoming the channels with excel i lent success, and in a short time we ex- l pect to hear of rich strikes in several | claimS.-Yreka Journal.
 | Preparations are being made to imme- 1 diately commence development work at 1 the Jupiter gravel mine above Iowa HILL l An incline will be run to tap the channel l Steam power will be used.
 1 Great activity prevails in river mining l in the Honolulu section of Klamath
 River. The claims are being worked night
 and day. The Manzanita, Versey Creek
 and Mcconnell x Quinne and several
 others are hoisting pay gravel. Before
 very long the Pacific, Benz Bar and l others will have their wingdams com | pleted so as to begin hoisting. It is ex- 1 pected that large yields of coarse gold | will be made in that section ere long, l Aetna Standard.
