located the Leola claims.
Mr. Worley started for the district
last week with a force of six men, ana
it is the intention to thoroughly pros
pect and develop the claims. A tunnel
may be run through and it may also
be decided to sink shaft. This WIN
be decided later. Mr.. Worley was en-
gagged by the company early in the

Mr.. Evans had several assays made.
The surface groupings ran from Sl1 10

ANOTHER DISCOVERY,
Spokane Chronicle: few days ago
the superintendent of the Gold Noun
tain mine on Nine Mile Creek, south
half of the Colville reservation, sent to
the officers of the company in this city
a sack of fine looking galena ore that
faly ia a
the mine. In a smaller sack there were
a few samples of some peculiar looking
whitish rock which the superintendent
stated was found in considerable guam
titles in the ledge. He advised that an
assay be made, although he did not
think it would show much value, if any.
The galena sample gave total value
of So 20 in lead and silver and the
other S15S.91 in lead and silver. The
ledge from which the samples We're
taken is reported to be very wide and
is only short distance from the shaft
in which the recent discovery OF 94UO
gold ore was made.
PALMER MOUNTAIN.
Portland Oregonian: John I. Boage
writes from Loomis giving resume OF
the work being done in the Loomiston
or Palmer mountain district. He says:
For three and one-half years claim
owners have been watching and walt
ing for the Palmer Mountain Gold Min
ing and Tunnel Company to demon
strate what every man with money to
invest in mining property always asks
DO the veins go down? Does the min
eral hold equally as good at depth as
on the surface? Will it be found in
paying quantities"
THE past months work has fully an
swered each of these important ques-
tions At 1000 feet depth this company
has cut a 45-foot vein containing 30
feet of high grade ore. the lowest assay
had being S37 in gold. On the surface
this vein was several feet wide and the
ore assayed S11."
This of itself is an answer to al
three queries. However. eleven other
veins had been encountered and cross
cut at from 200 to $50 feet depth before
this last one was reached, and in no
instance was the value less than on the
surface and usually much higher, and
the veins have widened in every in
stance.
Palmer Mountain Gold Mining and
Tunnel Company is in 1000 feet. Depth
gained LOCO feet and twelve veins cut,
ranging in width from > to 421a feet,
containing pay streaks from to 80
feet. The mine is equipped with an atP
compressor, steam driven with blower
attached for furnishing and exhaust
ing air. The company is now develop
ing and bringing into the mine a wa
ter power of 800 horse power. Thirty
men are employed and the force is be,
ing gradually increased"
THE MOTHER LODE.
Sonora Union Democrat: Scarcely 4
week passes by without the report be-
ing circulated of rich strike in some
one or more of the very many West
ern mines. At present there is Wild
scramble for copper, with an occa-
sional reaching out for more silver,
but there is no gainsaying the fact
that gold is and always will be the
principal incentive to mining on the
Pacific Coast. With it as the standard
of value there is not even the remotest
possibility of even a slight fiuctuatlon
in price, while with the other metals
q single day may see the markets drop
to. a figure that will mean sweeping
disaster to every mine, and financial
ruin to all connected with it who have
not fortunes laid by or otherwise in
vested 1t is but a reiteration of a
known truth to state that money spent
in developing gold mines is about as
safe as it can be placed and statistics
support this contention. Numerous in
stances exist of mining stock paying
from 30 to 500 and up per cent. per
month on the original or par value,
and hundreds of claims bought for
small consideration have afterward
yielded millions to their fortunate own
ers. Right here in Tuolumne has this
been done, and the mines Of the county
to-day are greater both in number and
value than ever before. Also on both
the Mother Lode and East belt has 1t
more paying claims than any other
county in the State or on the Coast,
while the territory still open to pros
pectors stretches away for miles in all
directions, virgin ground netted with
pold-bearing veins along which can be
opened up claims as good or better
than the richest yet discovered.
THE MOORE MINE.
Amador Republican: About 1000 feet
west of the old Moore mine is the
claim belonging to Moon Brothers. The
owners have been prospecting here in
termittently for several years. They
believe they have the apex OF the true
fissure vein. The great obstacle &c
their work has been an excess OF wat
