PLACER AND QUARTZ.
Yreka Journal Angle & Brown found
an exceedingly rich pocket of quartz
on Mount Sterling about IA miles west
| of Coles in the Siskiyou foothills, last
week. They brought down about 46
pounds of the quartz, full of gold, a
! solid nugget of gold in the bunch
weighing over 80 ounces. At the foot
of the mountain, there are some very
| good placer claims, but water is scarce
at present to do much development
work. These mines are between the
] head of Main Beaver and the West
| Fork of Beaver, north of Hungry
] Creek.
! George Tompkins showed us fine
specimen of quartz of the onyx variety,
which he called glade, used for jewelry
purposes, as it takes a beautiful polish
| of green with light streaks. 1t is als1
| used to grind up for paint in decoration
| of chinaware and earthenware, and
| would be of value at commercial CEN
| ters, or in China, where the women
| have a fancy for such kind of orna-
mental stone made into bracelets, rings,
pins, etc. This stone or quartz is found
in the Happy Camp section. and nc
| doubt exists in other localities.
| w. A. Bantz, manager of the Siski-
| you Gold Mining Company of Boston,
has made purchase of the Little Tiger
or old Cape Mine on Greenhorn, this
| week. Adams bought it some time age
| from Florian LeMay. The new company
intend developing the mine on an ex-
tensive scale, and claim to have struck
a big ledge.
