sutter viii Celebrate.

The citizens Of Sutter Creek are
unanimously in favor Of a Fourth of
July celebration, and steps leading in
that direction were taken this week.
The business men of Sutter have agreed
to contribute to the enterprise and the
movement is now well under way. An
executive committee has been appoint
ed as follows: Miss May Mails, John
Lithgow, Jackson Dennis, Henry M.
Calkins, M. 7. Conners.
1t is proposed to introduce several
new features, one of which will be a
number of trained acrobats from San
Francisco who will give a continuous
performance on the street during the
day. The procession will also contain
new and novel features.

man. Although the mill is equipped
with ouly ten stamps for the present,
it is so constructed that as many more
may be added as may be found to be
necessary, without any material change
in the present construction. The ledge
is very large one, being from eighty
20 one hundred feet in width-a quarry
ing proposition-there being a veri-
table mountain of quartz, all good mill
ing rock. The ore contains from Is to
20 per cent of sulphurets which assays
well. A blanket plant for saving the
sulphurets will at present be used.
About ten. men are now employed
but we understand that twenty or
thirty will shortly be put on and the
force augmented as the work pro-
crosses. w. w. Cook, one of the
most experienced miners in this locality
is superintendent, under the manage
ment of j. K Carpenter.
The Berdina is undoubtedly good
mine and its successful operations will
stimulate mining in Campo Seco dis
trict.
A number of men were put to work
on the Giuffra. mine west of town, last
Tuesday, sinking two-compartment
shaft. Col. Robinson who has two
year bond on the Giuffra mine and
mill, also has working bond on the
Wesson mine which adjoins the Giuffra.
Preparations are being made to start
this latter mine up this week. The
quartz will be hauled to the Giuffra
mill and test made of one hundred
tons. If found to pay, T iron track
1000 feet in length, will be put down,
connecting the mine with the mill.
The Blue Rock is quartz mine
situated at the foot of Sailor gulch,
about one-half mile up the river from
the South Fork bridge on the road
from Glencoe to West Point. 1t is
owned and worked by Messrs. M. Deni-
son and J. E. Wilson. 1t is tunnel
proposition and shows a heavily sui
phureted ledge twenty-five inches in
width. Owing to its rebellious nature
the ore will be shipped to Selby's for
reduction. The ore near the surface is
of honey bed, free-milling charac-
ter and will be milled here. This mine
is below the granite belt and is in
slate formation.

CALAVERAS COUNTY.

Prospect: The sale of the Veritas, or
what is better known as the Fellow
craft mine. under an execution issued
to G. Tiscornia, which was to have
taken place last Wednesday, has. been
postponed. Albert M. Armstrong, ol
the law firm of Kinley & Armstrong,
attorneys for the Veritas people, came
up Tuesday night, and Wednesday
effected the postponement. They had
previously obtained an injunction out
of Judge Belcher's court, restraining
the sheriff from selling the stock, and
on representations that the money
would be Forthcoming to satisfy the
claim against the mine, secured the
postponement of the sale of the per.
sonal till the 11th inst. Mr.. Kinley,
the other member of the firm, is now
in the east trying to raise the money,
with good prospects of success.
The bullion shipment from the Utica
this month looked like old times again.
Two big boxes, each good load for
two men, went out on the Valley Spring
stage and two armed messengers went
along to see that no inquisitive strang-
ers interferred with the contents.
The crushing of 200 tons of rock from
the Commodore mine in the Ford mill
was completed this week and the plates
cleaned up. Mr.. Clary, the superin-
tendent, is not disposed to discuss the
result more than to say that it is
highly satisfactory. He cannot tell
what the next step will be till the result
has. been placed before the owners and
their decision rendered. 1t is probable
however, that extensive changes will
be made in the shaft and that work
may be suspended in the mine few
days pending these repairs.

A Pioneer Down.

About three O'Clock last Saturday
afternoon, one of the shade trees in
front of the Odd Fellows building, or
Main street, quietly took fall without
any prOvOcation whatever. There was
farm-team hitched to the tree at the
time, but both animals we're asleep and
the fall of the tree barely aroused
them. The old pioneer land mark
simply got tired of standing and laid
down. Sensible old fellow. 1t had the
good sense to retire when there was nc
crowd about, thus preventing, prob.
ably, a fatal accident.
