Pacific Coast
Mining News.

Those interested in mines and mining
news will find much to interest them in
the following references to the min
efal resources of the Pacific Coast:
GOLD FOR THE GATHERING.
: Shasta. Courier: Our neighbor, the
Mountain Miner at Keswick, just
over the hill, ascertains and states that
r'the old town of Shasta" famed for
ITS days of old, and gold, and days of
AZ, is about to- be bonded for II, 00O,00O
by syndicate, torn to pieces by by
draulics and converted into great
gold mine. The Miner adds, however,
that the old town maybe can't be
bought for million. Right you are,
Mr.. Miner. We are too rich for any
cheap mans million. Shasta has gold
galore. Our streets, if not paved with
gold, are half soled with it anyhow
When a man gets broke here, he just
breaks on old brick up in chunks to get
small change nuggets out of it..
Why a fellow had a mining claim
down in Gamblers Gulch, below the
graveyard, that he had worked out,
and was intending to salt it and sell
it to some tenderfoot from Oregon.
w Gil. OhC lll6Al lily NV
was blowing down Main street little
extra heavy, and sailed the old claim
for him so blamed rich that the ten
derfoot paid him $4,000 with six Web
foot ranches thrown in.
If there is any such scheme on foot
the residents of Shasta are unaware
of it, We believe that the fake bonding
report had it's only foundation in a par
', in he stCOnripr'' nnfiPinQ
the fact that a couple of veins of rich
gold quartz had been newly discovered
in the town limits. Shasta is the CEN
ter of numerous gold quartz Lodges,
but it is not necessary to bond the
town or tear down buildings to mine
them.
AMADOR PROSPECTS.
According to the Amador Ledger"
the mining industry between the leila
and the Mokelumne River has a better
outlook than ever before. At the ANA
dor Queen No. /, the property of the
Jackson Exploration and Development
Company, limited, of London. milling ore
has been encountered at the l.lOo-foot
level, and preparations are now beng
made to resume sinking, while the mil
Is being repaired so that milling may
De cOUlIlSIlG6Q DIS SOOI ~ all
At the Amador Queen No. 2, owned
by an Ohio company, four shoots of ore,
partly metal, have been encountered
and passed through in sinking the shalt
The metal is similar to that taken out
of the Valparaiso mine, which is south OF
1t. The find is between 400 and 500 feet
below the level Of the tunnel from winch
the shaft begins-the tunnel being about
sgskn ,..fa Of a
in which the ledge crops. All men ia
miliar with the country believed there
must be pay chimneys between the
Zeila and the Gwin, and there is rea-
son now to believe that the TWO Queens
have struck them.
NEVADA MINES.
Carson Appeal: From all indications
this section of Nevada is about to see
a reversal of form and good times are
not far off.
Some sixty miles south of here two
big mining companies are making ar
engagements TO erect mill and mining
machinery on properties which have
been thoroughly prospected and war
rant the expenditure proposed.
About eight miles east of this city
Major Gardner and sons have nearly
finished the building of a ditch to a
small mill they have erected near the
river and the beauty of the scheme is
they have mine that will keep the
mill going indefinitely. Their property
consists of a big gold ledge of low
grade ore, but there is all kinds OF ore
in sight.
The Gardner property is not on the
market as there is 81 mighty good
thing in sight and in a few weeks the
mill will be running and turning out
cash for the owners.
The copper claims east of here are
looking we'll and are attracting con-
siderable attention, and it is but
matter Of time when they will be pro-
ducing copper for further orders.
Yesterday mining location was
filed by a Carson lady, whe has been
doing some prospecting and If reports
are to be relied upon the claim is rich.
On every side of this city prospecting
Is going on and in number of in
stances mines are already developed
and will soon be on the bullion list.
This section of Nevada is now coming
to the front and when the old Com
stock is relieved of the water that
floods the lower levels, this portion OF
the State win again take the lead as
the bullion end of the State.
GOLD FROM PERKS.
Perris Era: From the first day of
January last to the ODD Of April
Messrs Hook Bros. shipped gold bricks
to Los Angeles and other places val
ued at $4,000 This is remarkably
good showing, considering that that
amount has happ absfracted from tall
ings from the Good Hope and Santa
Rosa mines. The tailngs, which at
one time We're considered of no value,
are now put through the cyanide pro-
cess, and up to Monday the amount OF
gold obtained is as above stated. At
each of the above mines there are thou
sands of tons of tailings still to be
put through the process, and 1t is esti-
