NEVADA CITY STRIKE.
The Nevada City Transcript" says
| that some of the richest ore ever found
| in the county is being extracted at the
Reward mine. The bonanza is in the
bottom of the shaft at depth of TO
feet. The quartz shows both free gold
| and galena in marvellous quantities.
and it is valued at the rate of thous-
| ands of dollars to the ton. The Re-
ward is located within the town limits
and has been worked for years by a
San Francisco company, nearly all
members of the Union League Club.
Among the principal owners are Colo
mel George Stone, General S. w.
Backus, Paris Kilburn and Daniel T.
Cole. 1t has already paid some divi-
dends.
THE BELLEVUE.
Placer Republican,: The Bellevue
mine, located in the Ophir district, has
for some time past been a paying
mine, but it's owners have drawn their
dividends and have neglected the bet
terments, and were compelled to send
their ore out to be milled. Now, how
ever, new blood and new capital have
been infused into the project, and ar
ticles of Incorporation have been filed
with the County Clerk under the name
of the Bellevue Consolidated Gold Min
ing Company. The directors are: F.
E. Brye A. l.. Smith and S. Bartlett of
Auburn, P. S. Lozano Of Ophir and E.
L. Hawk of Sacramento. Besides the
above there are two other incorpora
tors, viz: Victor Blot and Albert Mar
ing There are 100000 shares at 81
per share. 1t is the intention of the
new company to erect a 10-stamp mill
at the Bellevue and otherwise push
and improve this excellent mine.
SOUTHERN, MINES.
San Diego Union: Mining affairs in
Lower California are livelier than ever
| BEFORE in the history of the peninsula.
| From the big Boleo copper mines at
| Santa Rosalia clear up to Juarez, near
| the line, miners, American and Mexi-
| cans, are at work opening out new
| leads and developing old ones. Heavier
| shipments of supplies are being made
on the steamer st. Denis than ever
| before, showing that the movement is
| based on solid grounds and is not a
mere placer rush, with an afterclap
| twice as vigorous as the rush.
| From Alamo come reports of activity
| that indicate that famous camp to be
on it's second wind in a long race for
| first place as a gold producer. The
| Princesa mines the group recently
| operated by the Alamo syndicate, linn
tied, have been sold bag and baggage
| to a Pittsburg syndicate, represented
| by George P. Brown. Mr. Brown is
now in possession of the mines and is
opening them out as rapidly as pos
| sible, especially the ST. David which
| is the deepest mine in Alamo and one
/ of the most promising. The Princesa
group includes the Princesa, st. David,
Indio, Telemaco, Penelope, Gold Tree.
| Grande, Grandisimo and other well
| known claims.
| RANDSBURG NEWS.
Randsburg Miner: Louis Tiegen of
Salmeta, Esmeraldo County, Nevada,
| has sold his Buster mine in the upper
Death Valley to a Los Angeles man
named Mccarthy. Consideration $780,
600 cash. The purchaser will at once
erect mill and proceed to develop it.
1t is said to be a very rich property.
Both parties TOT the deal were in Rands-
burg this week.
| cry and Maginnes, is proving very
valuable property. AT 100 feet a large
body of good ore was struck some
time ago, which improves all the time.
They have something like 100 tons now
| on the dump which they will soon mill.
The vein is from three to five feet.
Mr.. Brown is also in charge of the
| work at the Viznaga mine, Mexican
| ~ r11n a no orfx "
| from Messrs David and Hartzell, the
owners, who developed the mine from
a mere prospect. A ten-staInp mill is
grinding away on good ore there night
and day In all probability the bond
will be taken UP and the mine pur-
chased by Mr. Brown and his associ-
ates.
At La Huerta, the Republican mine is
being steadily developed by a long tun-
mel that, when it strikes the ledge, will
| have opened one of the best properties
on the peninsula. A ten-stamp MILL
| with boiler and engine capacity for ten
more stamps, is now ready to work
| In running the tunnel several lodges
running as wide as three feet were
found, some of them of sufficient rich
ness to justify independent exploita-
L
and American miners in that locality
is that the Republica will be a paying
mine for at least twenty years, on a
basis of twenty or even forty stamps.
At Socorro, further down the PENN
sula, Harry Johnson is steadily taking
out gold from his monster hydraulic
proposition. He has none too much
water, even though his ditch runs
/ ;,,fo fta hno nf
the San Pedro Martir. Yet. as he
owns the whole placer country there
and is sure of an independent fortune,
he can afford to wait until winter for
more active operation.
Only fifteen stamps are dropping at
the leila and not all of these on rock
from the mine. Rock is being hauled
from the Potazuba mine. near Suffer
Creek. to the Zeila mill. About 200
tons will be brought over. The Pota-
zuba is otherwise known as the Me-
chanics mine and adjoins the Ballot.
AT COLLIERVILLE.
Calaveras Prospect: Doctor Hadsell.
sSn old prospector who has been Oper-
ating for some time past in the Stanis-
laus district, a bout a mile above Col
lierville, has found some very encour-
aging prospects. In tunnel he has
driven to tap the quartz ledge he has
found a large body of ore which car
ries from Z to 10 per cent. of sulphur
cts. Two assays were made of these
sulphurets. The first showed a yield of
500 to the ton and the second $135.
