work on this promising property will
soon be resumed.
The tunnel run on the Schuman
gravel claim, beyond the Ellen Vannan
mine. in Old Woman's gulch, has
turned out most satisfactory. The sur
veys of Mr.. Burleson we're realized to
the very inch and the deposits we're all
found to be above the tunnel, and the
property will now be Systematically de-
veloped.
Good returns are coming from the
Langford strike near Jenny Lind. and
the region promises to become large
gold producer. Capital is now seeking
investment in that section.
1t is said that r. G. Hanford, as an
agent for San Francisco company,
has bonded some property in the
neighborhood of Clements. The land
is situated east of Clements, on the
Mokelumne river. Four miles from
the same town, on the south bank Of
the river, is a 90-acre tract, formerly
owned by William McIntire, which
was sold to the company for S65O0.
East of the McIntire place is a quarter
section, which Mrs. J. o. Green sold
for $4,000. Amanda G. Stamper sold
eighty-seven acres still further for S17, :
400. l. N. Holman has agreed to sell
180 acres adjoining Mrs. Green's prop
erty for $4,000. The Paine ranch and
Mrs. Hills property, east of the other,
and large tract on the north bank of
the river known as the Hammaker
place, have been bonded by the COM
pany, making about 900 acres that is
now under control. The company
owns two dredgers, which are now at
work in similar land on the American
river near Folsom. AS the work there
is nearly finished the dredgers will be
brought to the property described and
work will be commenced in the near
future.
Prospect: The past week has been
very quiet in the mines about Angels.
At the st. Lawrence no work is being
done at present as the mine is shut
down, but it will be reopened IN a
short time. when new machinery will
be installed. They have very fine rock
in sight, which was found just before
the suspension of work.
At the Jones mine work is still being
prosecuted on the new lead which was
struck a couple of weeks ago, and
which promises to be the best ever
found there. A great deal of money
has been put in this mine within the
past year and now it is sure to pay for
the money expended in its develop
ment and the long years of waiting.
The ore is very rich and there is plenty
OF it in sight.
At present the Harris mine is
'1ong" on water and short on work,
on account of the shortage of fuel. AS
soon as that can be had work will start
anew. The shaft is down 400 feet and
in good rock. A ten-stamp mill is to
put up within the next ninety days.
The Angels mine is still using the old
Baumhogger mill for the prospecting
work, but the new mill will be put up
shortly.
Good reports come from the Golden
Leaf quartz mine, situated on Welch' s
ranch, about two and one-half miles
south of Telegraph City. The work.
ing shaft has been sunk on the lead to
depth of $50 feet and and the vein
has been thoroughly explored by
drifts running north and south from
the shaft. The lead shows an average
width of about seven feet and the rock
will yield by milling from $50 to $3.50
per ton. The sulphurets, of which the
ore carries a large percentage, is of a
very high grade. Hosting is done
with horsepower whim. This prop
erty is directly south of the Royal Con-
solidated mines and is believed to be on
the same lead. 1t is owned and
worked by John Welch, ]. w. Camp
bell and the Mobley brothers.
