amount Of money. and then shut the

stshrv feet wide. and the ore is mined and
nIllet for 81. 81 per ton. By careful and prac-
tcaI management the owners are making IL a
profitable property.
big strike has been made in the Good Hope
mine. Riverside county. where the workmen
have run into an ore body fifty feet wide at a
dapth Of tnU feet. The ore Is low grade. but
rich enough to be crushed at a profit. while the
great extent Of it guarantees that IL can be
work I'd for a lonS time. This mine was sold a
few years ago 20 an English syndicate for $780,
nnO. and everything went well until the ore
body began 70 pinch. and then the share
holders. instead OF exploring further. brought
suit 20 get back their money. on the ground
that the property had been misrepresented.
In Shasta county a great amount OF develop
nsptwork IS IN progress, especially in the Mule
town district. where more work is being done
than a. any previous time. Great quantities OF
ore are being hauled 70 the Keswick smelter.
and men who until recently were about to lose
their ranches under mortgages have turned TO

smel,er making Il possible for them TO market
low grade rock at a profit. The ore Of the Davis
copper mine carries 80 per cent. Upper from

$50 in gold.
new strike is reported from the Brown
Bear mine at Deadwood. Trinity county. which

Five claims in the Bull Run district, Elko
