Central Eureka-sutter Creek.

At the Central Eureka the three
compartment shaft is now down 1850
feet, with an average pitch of II de-
grees. One ledge runs from two to
nine feet and averages S8 per ton.
Another, smaller ledge, yields S75
per ton. Considerable development
work is going on now. Under the
thoroughly practical knowledge of Su-
perintendent w. r. Thomas, there is
but very small margin for failure in
the future career of this promising
mine. A drift 200 feet long has been
run south from the shaft at the 1900
foot level, resulting lu the development
of good quality of ore. 1t is under
stood that a mill will be built as soon as
material can be had.

South Eureka-sutter Greek.

For the past three weeks pay ore has
been developed at the South Eureka
mine. If the company had fuel the
mill would now be in operation Su-
perintendent Parks says that, as soon
as coal can be hauled from lone, the
hoist will be run by steam and the mill
by water power. The company had a
contract with the Standard Electric
Company to furnish power and, there
fore, did not lay in supply of wood,
hence the present idleness of the mill.
Through misfortune the Standard
Electric Company failed to meet the
requirements of its contract, and now
says that it cannot do so before July

nam of Plymouth were in Jackson yes
terday. The first named gentleman is
superintendent of the New Western
Mining Reduction Company and the

latter is master of mechanics of the
gagged in reducing about 300, 600 tons ol
the old Plymouth Consolidated dump.
Four Huntington mills are used with a
capacity of $50 tons per day, the cost
of reduction being about 30 cents ton.
About 80, 900 tons have been crushed,
yielding fair profit.

wildmau=MahOuev-sutter Creek.

Superintendent John Ross of the
Wildman-Mahoney mine returned Sat
urday evening from a four days. busi-
ness trip to the city, and on Monday
each of the 165 men on the payroll re-
ceived months wages This leaves
back wages to the extent of six weeks
or so still due the men, but there seems
to be no uneasiness on their part re-
garding final settlement.
Superintendent Ross says that work
is about to be resumed at the Emerson
shaft on the hill one thousand feet east
of the Wildman incline The object OF
this vertical three-compartment shaft
is to tap the lower levels of the Wild
man. Mr. Ross will crosscut at the
1300-foot level with tunnel of 506 feet.
1t is figured that the Emerson shaft
will cut the Wildman ledge at the 2200-
foot level. The shaft is now down 500
feet. Shortage of water caused sus-
pension of work in the shaft, but oper-
tions will begin again shortly.

ELECTRIC COMPANY WORK
Road to Whites Bar Nearly
Finished.
SEVENIY-FIVE MEN NOW WORKING ON II
Work on the New Power Plant Will
Soon Be Commenced and
Pushed.

The Standard Electric Company is
expending large amount of money in
the improvement and enlargement of
its already extensive business. AT the
head of this great company are men in
whose hands money is as dirt; men who
seem to realize that it takes money to
make any business proposition sue
cess. Certainly the late doings of the
company confirm this.
They have been employing several
hundred men for some time now, and
at present have seventy-five men en-
gagedlin the construction of the road
from the site of the power-plant re-
Gently destroyed by fire to the spot
about four miles distant on the river
banks, where it is the intention of the
company to erect power-plant to be
larger in every respect than the former
one. The river at this point affords
more power and the hackers of the
proposition are shrewd enough to take
advantage of it. In about two weeks,
with the present progress, the road
will be completed.
Within month after the completion
of the road work will probably be be-
gun on the new plant. A few weeks
ago the big teams of the company were
laid off on account of the roads, but
they will soon resume their trips to
lone.
At and around the lone depot are
100, 900 pounds of cement and several
Thousand feet of lum Der awaiting trans
portation to the new mill site. 1t is
the intention of the company to erect
a large warehouse in lone for the stor-
age of material arriving at that depot.
The warehouse will undoubtedly be
erected near the track because of the
convenience.
Many of the workmen who came
down from the Bear river camp were
kept by the company and employed on
the road and elsewhere.

Death of Mrs. McWayne.

About three weeks ago Mrs. H. A.
McWayne of Drytown, went to San
Francisco for medical treatment, but
no relief was obtainable and on Satur-
day, January 10th, she breathed her
last. She leaves a husband and two
children, son twenty-one and a
daughter eighteen years of age, to
mourn the loss of loving wife and
mother. Deceased had been an invalid
for some time, but was not considered
in danger until about three weeks ago.
Those who knew her speak in the
very highest terms of praise of her
innumerable good qualities and kind
and loving disposition. She was a
faithful and loving wife and an indul-
gent and fond mother.
The body was taken from San Fran
cisco to Sacramento, where the funeral
was held last Tuesday.

Gasoline Engine Installed.

John Strohn of the Jackson Brew
cry has tired of the inconvenience of
the electric power he has used for the
purpose of making ice and maintaining
cold storage at his plant, and has had
a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES engine made
to take its place. The engine is of the
gas or gasoline pattern, but uses a
low-grade crude oil, which is inducted
into the cylinder mixed with air and
there exploded by an electric spark.
The maker of the engine completed its
installation yesterday and operated it
several hours to climber it up" Some
time during the first of the coming
week it will be operating the machinery
at the brewery.

one WEEK OF GREAT ACTIVITY
AMONG The IVE MINING MEN

and fruitgrower of Camanche was a
pleasant caller at the LEDGER Office
one day this week. Mr.. Kientz,
among other interesting things, re-
ferred to the gold dredging industry
now going on in the river between Ian
cha Plana and his place. He has faith
in the venture and believes with the
proper dredging machines gold in pay
ing quantities will be found. The old
style endless chain with sand buckets is
now in use, also the centrifugal dredger.
Both dredges do very good work,
but the latter is not large enough and a
larger one is to be constructed.

has the new shaft in the Oneida mine
down 2090 feet. He is cutting a station
in the 2O00-foot level to run crosscut
to strike the vein, which he expects to
tap in about two weeks. At the time
the mine was closed down, some twenty
odd years ago, the old middle shaft
had been sunk to a depth of 1850 feet.
Recently Mr.. Truscott has pumped out
the water, cleaned and retimbered the
old-time ''hole in the ground to a
depth of 800 feet, and work is still pro-
crossing. Water is pumped out at the
rate of 200 gallons per minute.

Centennial-Drytown.

The almost impossible condition OF
the roads is proving a serious draw
back to the operations of the Centen-
NAL mine. near Drytown. They are
operating their hoist by steam and
have plenty of wood engaged, but ii
cannot be hauled. AS a result, the
operations at the mine have been re-
duced to one shift, which is kept busy
but part of the time, keeping the shaft
cleared of water.

sional District to Meet in Jackson.
The Executive Committee on Repub-
lican Organization, Second Congress
sional District, has decided to hold
meeting in Jackson on the evening of
February 7th or 9Th next. Full par
ticulars will appear in the next issue of
the LEDGER.
The meeting will probably be held in
Webb Hall, and among the speakers
likely to be present may be mentioned
Hon. D. E. McKinlay, Hon. Judson
Brusie and Hon. John F. Davis.
1t is not expected that this meeting
will have vigorous support or the
tumult and enthuiasm of meetings held
in the thick of the campaign. AS a
compliment from this committee pipes
and tobacco will be provided for a
social smoker" to be INDUCED in by
those who will remain after the speak
ing to assist in the club organization.
1t is the wish of the committee to
avoid demonstration and merely hold a
quiet meeting during which few seeds
will, we trust, be sown that will result
in harvest later on.

according to Superintendent John r.
Tregloan, important changes will soon

way, he says no one need be surprised
to again see the old mine under full
headway in the near future, with every
probability of ranking in the top
notch with the gold producers of the
Mother Lode.
