cided to pay all men what they were worth
the price to be in no case less than % cents
an hour. Many of the men continued at
work, as the price to good men was contin-
ued at 80 cents an hour by some Contractors.

Of these from so feet to $50 feet deep that
are becoming steady producers of bullion,
and during the past year the pronounced
success of one or two mines In this local.
ity (Which have yielded several thousand
dollars in gold) has caused a renewed ac-
tivity in prospecting in their vicinity, with
the greater facilities for cheap working and
better methods of extraction, many claims
which have remained idle for number Of
years will no doubt be opened up. but more
capital is urgently needed to thoroughly
develop the county. Prospectors are be-
ginning to realize that exorbitant prices
canot be obtained for mere prospects and
they are becoming every day more willing
to give capitalists a chance. Successful
mines will give employment to the right
class of men. Divid end paying properties
will assist owners of promising prospects
to come In contact with the man who has
a deep pocket, and who will put his hand
therein when he sees a reasonable chance
of doing business.
The same may said of many Of the out
lying districts, such as Havllah, Piute,
Caliente, Woody and Write River. Gold
mining in this county is getting on more
stable footing. In support of this state
ment we have only to investigate the ques-
ton of the increase in the number of stamp
mills. In Greenhorn within the past two
months two five-stamp mills have been
erected and are now in active operation..--

Activity at Hedges

County Assessor John p. Burt has re-
turned from Hedges mining camp in the
desert, where he went to attend the as
sessment Of the property of the Golden
Cross mines. Mr.. Burt says: when got
there l met so many San Diegans it seemed
as if I had struck part of San Diego
city. The 100-stamp mill is now run
ming twenty-four hours per day seven days
in the week.. and from 200 to 300 tons of
ore is being crushed daily. Mr.. Pauly
seems to me to have about as busy a life
as any one have seen in years. He has
made fine record there, and by his en-
ergy and good management he has succeed
ed in making the property not only pay
ing venture, but in the months he has been
there he has also succeeded in reducing
the company's Indebtedness $4,000.
"On account of the property being in the
hands of a receiver, and also being so heav-
lily encumbered and running behind, very
little money in taxes was realized by the
county last year. This year the net assess
ment is about 100000, on which the county
will collect taxes, and in future, with the
natural development of the camp, the out
look is good for some revenue to the county
and state."-San Diego Sun.

In the Piute Mountains

The Mayfiower, which has recently
passed into the hands of j. M. Day and D.
Barton, will start up on the 1st prox. with
force of men. The present workings on
the mine consist of two shafts aud 500
foot tunnel which cuts the former at the
bottom. The new management propose 10
run a tunnel several hundred feet lower
down on the side of the mountain and ex-
pect at 1000 feet to cut the vein at depth
of 400 feet. The Mayfiower is an old work.
ing and has produced considerable gold in
days gone by.
Shipsey & Duval have number of good
properties on which they will begin work
in a very short time. Most prominent
among these claims is the Black Point
which is opened by 150-foot tunnel. 1t
runs all the way through a six-foot ledge,
and from this samples assaying as high as
$3.50 have been obtained.
Work is shortly to be resumed on the
Bright Star mine, owned by Park & Lacy
of San Francisco. On this claim a 40O-foot
shaft has been sunk and from 1t several
drifts have been driven and stopped out. The
Bright Star is an old claim, and those in a
position to know say that over half mil
lion has been extracted from it.
Z. C. Mckay has been working all winter
on some claims on Sauer Kraut hill and
they are showing up in good shape.
The Piute country is an ideal place for
mining, wood and water abounding In
plenty, and as soon as mining men can be
made to realize that the mines are of
sufficient worth to invite investigation and
investment the district will rapidly come
to the front.-Bakersfield Mirror.

feet in the Golden Crown mine near Dry
town, Amadr county, by William Wey-
mouth.
The shaft of the Pocahontas mine, near
Drytown, Amador county, now down GOO
feet, will be sunk to 900 feet before they
begin to drift.
The old south shaft Of the Gwin mine
Calaveras county, is now opened for about
900 feet. AL the ore for the forty-stamr
mill comes out of the new or north shaft

cars of gravel daily from the tunnel of the
Hidedn Treasure mine, Forest Hill divide
tity removed from the drift mine when
horses were used on the cars. Another
locomotive and hundred more cars are to
be used the coming season.
Operations are to be commenced on the
magnesite mines at st. Helena, Napa
county. The entire magnesite product OF
the state--and the United States-now
+ 'mes from that valley, the producing mines
being near Chilies valley.
Unless more snow falls on the valley
Unless more snow falls on the mountains
numbers of mines without steam plants
will have to close down early this summer
for lack of water. The big dams and lakes
in the mountains are unusually low this
year.

Coinage mine of Barron & Shepherd or

has caused considerable local excitement

velously rich in free gold and proves that
the Free Coinage is one of the very richest

A Bureau Of Mines

In view of the fact that it has been
found impossible at this session of congress
to get through bill forming department
of mines and mining, with it's secretary a
cabinet officer, it is proposed to try and
establish a bureau of mines in the interior
department, with a commissioner of mines
and mining at its head The chairman of
the committee appointed at the Denver
Gold Mining convention, who is at Wash
ington, is working on this line, and the
committee of the California Miners con-
vention are expected to join forces.
We have had commissioner of mines
and mining in the United States, but after
an experience of some ten years the office
| was abolished and the work turned over tc
the mint bureau. ]. Ross Browne was the
first mining commissioner and published
two reports-in 1867 and 1865 Then Ross
tier W. Raymond, the present secretary
of the American Institute of Mining En-
gineers, was appointed and published
eight reports, his last one being in 1877.
Then there was lapse of a few years,
