A Phenomenal Discovery

One of the most phenomenal discoveries
made in this section is that of Burgess &
Murphey, which itself came in for consider
able exaggerated prominence last year. 1t
is located at the head of Hickory gulch and
was discovered almost year ago by B. F.
Burgess, who had come from Dunsmuir,
and John Murphey, young man employed
al the Nash mine. After tracing the find
for considerable distance up the mountain
side they encountered a dixie above which
could be found no gold. After more exploit
alton they found a favorable point to do
some sinking and were rewarded by the
discovery Of a large formation of ocherous
matter carrying extremely high values in
gold which could conveniently be washed
out by pan. Five or six hundred dollars, all
told, were removed from this incline before
fifteen feet depth had been attained, a
bunch of s249 from twenty-five pans being
taken out near the surface. This seam
which has since been traced for distance
Of 900 feet, has again penetrated several
hundred feet east of the original opening.
and an incline of sixteen feet there. with the
work that had been done on the former,
closed the encouraging developments o. last
season.-Redding Searchlight

Roundabout Yreka

The Blue Gravel mine at Greenhorn, about
mile south of Yreka, still continues to pay
handsomely, and the water supply by means
of pumping from bedrock holds out remark
ably WE'LL The company Is under an ex-
pense Of about s100 day for the hands en-
ployed and the material used, and the pro-
ceeds average from $500 to $4O0 day. In
addition to the first installment of $4,000 for
the property, the second installment of
$1,000 was paid few days since. and the
other two Of $1,000 each will be paid within
the next three and six months.
Bailey & Carrick have struck an exceed
ngly rich quartz ledge on the north fork
of Greenhorn below the Katie May mine,
which crosses the old Mountain Boomer
mine. The ledge is six to eight inches wide,
and bids fair to prove very valuable. They
have been taking out considerable quartz
and will soon haul it to mill for crushing.
The quartz so far obtained is estimated 10
yield $75 ton or more.
The Yreka company, prospecting 10 the
Humbug mountain west of Yreka, under
superintendent of Tim Austin, has the
tunnel run about 400 feet, and finds very
hard, base rock, mostly iron. This is con-
sidered a good indication of gold, and 1t is
hoped the company may be able to find an
iron mountain equal to the rich iron noun
tain at Keswick in Shasta county.-Yreka

MINES AND MINERS
! %.s,+s.a+++-%+%++&A+A+++++. + :.

Faith In California mining properties has
been rewarded this year by the discovery
in three Localities OF extensive deposits Of
high-grade ore. First came the news of the
remarkable developments at the Keystone
mine in Amador county, then Of the strike
of a million dollars worth and more of rich
rock of the Gwin mine in Calaveras. and
now a discovery of equal If not double i'm
portance is reported from the Black Oaks
mine of Tuolumne.
s The Black Oaks is an old mine, the fruit
full mother of many past disbursements,
owing to some of which the property went
to its present owners for a nominal sum as
sheriff's SALE An estimate Of 1870 tons of
ore is regarded as fair one for the find just
made, and some Of this assays S14S per ton.
Signs of another great ore body in the
Black Oaks have already appeared, but as
matters stand handsome fortunes for the
four proprietors are in sight
One probable effect of these strikes will
be to bring the total of the states gold pro-
duction for the year up to a point whicfs will
recall flush days; and another, TO attract
q proportion of the mining capital now tend
irg toward the Klondike back to its old
haunts. 1t takes but few such discoveries
to make investors realize that the saying
that California has so far been merely
scratched for gold and that there Is more
in its depths than was ever taken from lis
surface is a fact of science and not con-
lecture of enthusiasts.-San Francisco

To Work Low Grade Ores

On Thursday morning the Forest Hill
Gold Mining company started up its mill
on what was formerly called the Old Span
ish mine. To their mill has lately been
added a cyanide plant to control rebellious
ores. They are working about thirty tons
a day, that average from IS to so per ton
The mill is run by water power, and con-
sequently very cheaply. 1t is the inten-
tion of the company to enlarge its plant
to the capacity of the Mercur mine in Utah
The Mercur company, on a similar pro-
cess, works Sc ore at profit of s4 The

they struck the blue clay, which proved to
be exactly six inches in thickness. and un-

Washing Golden Sands

According to the Sacramento Record
Union there is talk again of washing the
sand in the channel of the American river.

The bed of the river just below the state
prison at Folsom is to be dredged for gold
by the American River Channel Mining
company, which has been Incorporated by
John B. Gonyeau, John l.. Cook. Nelson
Fife, Harry A. Cook and Louis A. Larsen.
Some rich deposits were worked on the
American river in early days, and the or

drfted gold in paying quantities may be
found in the gorge between the dam and

The Next Gold Rush

The next gold rush is likely to be to the
Philippines. 1t was two years after Cali
fornia was conquered by Americans when
not be surprising if within two months
after General Merritt lands at Manila we
should hear of miners leaving California
to ply their calling in that tropical coun-
try. Indeed, there is enough in the United
States consular report just issued to con-
stitute very respectable basis for a book.
and If the document comes into the hands
of some of our practical miners, we shall
expect to hear of companies being organ
ized.
The report is based on pamphlet sent
from London to the state department oy
Ambassador Hay. and which was written
by Frank Karuth, +. r. G. S., and pub
lished under the title, IA New Center of
Cold Production" Karuth is the president
of a Liverpool company called the Philip
pines Mineral syndicate. and is perhaps in :
terested in booming the mines: but the
stories he tells are certainly plausible not
to say exciting. If one may believe onIv
part of what he says all the kinds of
mines known elsewhere--quartz. gravel
and placer--exist in great abundance and
under circumstances favorable to working
though there are the drawbacks of the eli
mate and the total absence of roads, which
makes the transportation of machinery
and supplies very expensive.

ocean, ard therefore have the advantaso

Rich Copper Strike

A wonderfully rich and extensive copper
strike has been made on the Montgomery
lode, near Globe, by the Black Warrior
Copper company, of which James A.
Fleming of Phoenix is president. 1t is
said that there are already 10000 tons of
ore in sight of an average value of $40 a
ton. Mr.. Fleming believes, from indica-
tions, that when the amount in sight has
been exhausted, the removal of the ore
body will have only begun. Twenty tons
are daily sent to the Buffalo smelter at
Globe. The strike has created an inter-
est in Globe, amounting to an excitement.
