At the Keystone mine Superintendent
W. A. Pritchard has been making a
number of changes for the purpose of
working the plant more economically
and systematically. The Keystone like
the other Mother Lode mines is prepar-
ing for the profitable working of the
immense bodies of low grade ore, long
known to exist. The superintendent
has added men, expert in this special
work to the Office and mill and num-
Der of new men to the mine. the latter
to shorten and cheaper the methods of
getting the ore from the mine and to
supply the increasing capacity of the
mill. The mine at present is without a
foreman. The most experienced timber
men are at the head of the largest
Slopes and the underground work is
directly in charge of the superintend-
ent. An air compressor is being built
to supply waste for filling the large
Slopes and for STOPPING. The rumor
that nene but married men will be en-
plpyed is without foundation.

The ice-cream season has begun and
those wishing cool refreshing drink
should go to Gains Superior. Candy
Factory. Why? Because it is the
neatest and most convenient place in
town. Its affable proprietor will soon
have eight handsomely furnished
booths for the accommodation of his
patrons. The crushed fruit he uses in
his tlavors, and he has great variety,
is of the freshest obtainable. His ice
cream sodas are pronounced the best in
town. His confectionery is fresh and
of a superior quality. Hot tomales

TuoLuMNE COUNTY.

Independent: The new mill at the
Mt. jefferson is now making sweet
music for the Grovelandites, moving
along without break or stop, with ore
enough in sight to keep ten more
stamps-ten working now-busy for
two years. Mr.. Meighan contemplates
putting down new three-compart-
ment shaft, which will be sunk 1000
feet before stopping.
Work atthe Four Oaks is progressing
finely. At the depth of ITO feet cross
cutting has been done fifty-eight feet
all in slate, assaying from So to s29. Sc
per ton. The shaft is down 12O feet.
A drift has been run 100 feet on the
main ledgeand seventy-fve feet of cross
cutting has been made, all in ore with
the above results. 1t is only question
of a short time when this mine will
furnish ore for a ten or twenty stamp
mill. Eight men are at present en-
ployed, which force will soon be in
creased.
The Amazon mining claim, north of
Deer Flat, owned by Paynter & Gray,
is showing up very good now and all
indications point to valuable deposit.
At the Longfellow they are drifting
on the 400 level, both east and west,
the east drift being run to connect with
the Mack mine for the purpose of ven-
tilation and also of safety.
Prof. E. A. e. Human, owner of the
famous Old Eagle mine, above Ameri-
can Camp, resumed operations on that
property this week: gain,
E. P. Mcleod of the Marguerite
mine, situated On the Big Hill near
Blue Pitch, visited friends here Sum
day. He reports work in the main
tunnel of said property as being discon-
tinued for the present, but the sinking
of shaft on the vein further to the
north, is steadily going on-the same
having attained depth Of thirty feet
with very encouraging outlook.
7. NJ. Lane Of knights Ferry was
here Monday and closed q deal on the
Vine Spring mine, which he has bond
ed. He will return again in a few days
and make preparations for beginning
active operations on the same. From
development work done so far, the
mine has made an excellent showing
and the property stands high in the
opinion of mining men.
AT the Dondero mine at Yankee Hill,
the giant with 400 inches Of water is
steadily playing away on the gravel.
A derrick for hosting rock and bot
toming sinks is also in use. Seven men
are employed.
New Era: In sinking the main shaft
from the 700-foot level at the Grizzly
last week the famous Old Grizzly vein,
which c9sntaaiinrls thirteea feet Of solid
quartz, was discovered, and indications
are very favorable for brighter future
than was ever expected. The seventh
station will be completed in day or
two, after which drift will be run
south. The 2O-stamp mill is kept
crushing by day, while nearly 5000 gal
Ions OF water are hofsted every eiv5; twenty
four hours. In two or three weeks the
working force will be greatly increased.
This property is under the able super
Iintendency of W. r. Hall.

near El Dorado, where they will do
some cleaning up and extend an old
tunnel cl osscutting the vcin.
L. II. Carver, Of the Table Mountain
mine, better known as the Martin,
went below last Friday and returned
on Monday, accompanied by Mrs. Mar
tin. He expressed great confidence in
the property of which he has posses
sion and he believes that he is in the
true blue gravel and the indications
are that this old property will soon
again be large producer. 1t is said
this property belongs to George W.
McNear, the great wheat man, who is
amply able to work it.
Adjoining property owners having
declined to sell them needed lands,
save what they consider as extravagant
rates, A. B. Thompson, of the Jupiter
(the San DomingO mine, and Mr.. Pur-
ington, of the Jack Rabbit and Carl
baldi, OF DogtOwn, have determined to
jointly run tunnel to tap their proper
ties. They will thus obviate any fur
ther necessity of buying S5-an-acre land
at fancy figures. The development
made on these mines justify these heavy
expenditures.
The Demarest with its rattle trap
five-stamp mill has just made a clean
up of thirty days run, netting about
$4,000 in natural gold, and ten tons of
sulphurets, valued at from 500 to S125
a ton. Not bad. The Demarest needs
greater development and 20-stamp
mill.
Mr.. Gutmann the other day brought
down from the Sheep Ranch mine
some very fine quartz, that is very
rich and typical of this rich and singu-
lar mine. 1t is blue black in color and
heavy in gold. A few tons of such rock
would make comfortable fortune.
The new owners are naturally elated
over this find on the 11OO-foot level and
they expect equally good rock on the
l200-foot level.
Chronicles: The Gypsie Queen owned
by F. A. Hanke, has a three-foot vein
and the ore is promising. Work is be-
ing prosecuted vigorously and the tun-
mel has reached a depth of fifty feet.
At the Santa Rita gold mine, owned
by San Francisco parties, the tunnel
has reached depth of fifty feet and it
Is the intention to sink 125 feet deeper,
to tap the vein which is seven feet in
width. Five men have been working
night and day. From the present
showing there is no doubt but that this
property will soon be on a dividend
paying basis. John Knox is superin-
tendent.
At the Giuffra mine west of town. the
sinking of winze was commenced this
week. The ore is of high grade and
the results are very satisfactory. From
a recent run of twenty hours, six
ounces of gold were cleaned up from
the outside plates.

Mountain Ech9I The Albany Flat
mines are coming to the front. There
is prospect of the Big Spring mine at
Marble Springs being sold to an eastern
syndicate before long. The st. Law
renoe mine is being handled in manner
that promises to make it mine of great
value. The Romaggi mine has been
bonded for S35, 900 and operations will
shortly begin on it. The Santa Anna
mine is being opened up and will receive
a thorough test. The Tulloch mine,
althh99ugh being pr9speetad now, will
eventually come to the front and be one
OF our leading gold producers. This is
a good mine and the time is coming
when the fact will be proven to the full
satisfaction of everybody in this local
ity.
