Luscious Grapes.

Mr.. H. Griffin of Pine Grove, one of
the most successful fruit growers in this
part of Of the State, presented the
LEDGER force with a box of choice
grapes one day this week, consisting of
the Flaming Tokay, Purple Damascus
and other varieties. Mr.. Griffin saws
the red soil of this county is especially
adapted to fruit growing without irri-
CATION and predicts that q few years
hence hundreds Of acres now unoccu.
pied and yielding no revenue will be.
come as valuable as his own land. All
that is required is intelligent endeavor,
but very little capital being absolutely
necessary.
This season Nj. Griffin has marketed
$500 baskets of raspberries, 70 boxes of
Early Crawford peaches, and grapes,
apples and other fruit in large quanti-
ties. He says that he could find mar
ket here for three times the amount he
can raise. "All we need is industry, :"
says that gentleman, ito make Amador
county bne OF the best fruit producing
counties in California.

down to a depth of 500 feet.

Democrat: AT the South Slope mine
a boarding house is being erected and
other preparations being made for
Fall and Winter work.
At the Mt Hope things are reported
to be moving quite satisfactorily. Supt.
Pearson has been doing considerable
development work OF late, and the
deeper workings are said to look ex-
ceedlngly encouraging. The mill has
been recently overhauled and an air
compressor installed preparatory to
the resumption of operations.
Active operations are noticeable in
and around the Mt. Pleasant. The
mill is being repaired and new machin-
cry installed as rapidly as possible. In
the deeper workings new drift is to
be started from the $50 foot level to
ascertain the extent of the new ore
body on the 800.
With the rehabilitation of the Mt.
Pleasant and the general renewal of
confidence in the mining outlook of the
district, Grizzly Flats certainly has
bright days ahead.
From an official source IL is stated
that the number of miners employed in
California in 1899 was "a, 991. For this
year the number probably exceeds
80, 600, despite the fact that many have
gone to Alaska.
Supt. w. A. Winsboro, of the Eu-
reka Slate Company, returned from
Oakland the irst of the week. A new
and powerful hoist has just been placed
at the quarries which will greatly fa-
cilitate the handling of the slate and
enable them to increase their working
force. They have recently uncovered
large body of gray slate, which with
their almost unlimited supply Of brill
liant black roofing slate, places the
company in a position to Ell any de-
msnd at short notice with as fine an
article as the best quarries of the world
can produce w. A. Winsboro, the
very live manager for the company, is
an expert who understands every detail
of the business he has in charge, and
more than that, has the ability and
hustle to create ready market for the
slate. This promises to be the leading
industry of Ell Dorado county.

The Lucky Boy mine situated on the
middle belt OF the great Mother Lode,
in direct line between the great Utica
on the southeast and the equally fam
Gus Gwiu on the northwest, about
equally distant from each. The claim
is full government location Of 100
feet along the lode, with ample mill
sites 1t has been worked for many
years by arastra process with saLisfac-
tory results to its owners. Though at
no place has the work been continued
to a greater depth than 30 feet, the
rock has yielded from 81 TO s. per ton
in free gold. The vein matter is about
forty feet in width between well defined
walls, aud throughout the whole width
free gold can be seen in all the rock.
All the characteristics OF the Mother
Lode mines are present. promising rich
developments as depth is attained.
Everything looks favorable at the
California Ophir Mine at Carson. The
shaft is 250 feet and crosscuttiug has
begun. Very rich rock is being taken
out and a mill is soon to be erected.
This promises to be one OF the best
mines in the county.
Citizen:- Captain Hpssey of Boston,
general manager of the Lucky Boy
mine on Dry Greek, recently purchased
from James Waters by Boston capital
lists, was in San Andreas few days ago
on business connected with the mine.
He says extensive operations will soon
be carried on al the mine, and in the
course of six weeks some twenty men
will be employed on the property in
developing. The Captain conducted q
party of surveyors to the mine on
Monday last, and they will commence
Immediately to survey and level OFF
ground for the erection of hosting
works and will locate the positions of
the shafts to be sunk on the vein. The
Lucky Boy is one of the best prospects
in this vicinity and before a great while

will divert the waters to be used for
power in operating the mine and the
120 stamp mill. The concrete bedrock
foundation for the dam is now being
laid and the work will be rushed to
completion before the arrival of the
fall rains. 1t is said THAT this company
has ore enough in sight to keep full

The mill at the Jumper mine closed
down last Sunday, the scarcity Of
water being the cause, and close onto
fifty men have been laid off as result.
Timbering and development work will
continue.
At the App mine the ore bodies are
opened up from the 1000 foot level to
the surface and the outlook for this
property is a very hattering one. 1t is
the intention to put in an additional
forty stamps at the mill as the ore re-
serves fully warrant an outlay. The
timbers for the addition to the mill
are being shipped to the mine from the
West Side Flume and Lumber Com
pany.
The Confidence mine and mill will
be running full blast about the fore
part of next month. Re-timbering the
shaft is now in progress.

struck this week in the lower tunnel OF
the Hunter mine, owned by C. A. Hol-
