Manuel santirfo-Pine Grove.

At this mine, which is located at the
head of Santa Clara Gulch, one and
one-half miles northeast of Pine Grove
and which has recently been bonded by
the Messrs. Watkins, much work is
being done. New sluices have been
put in and new twenty horsepower
friction engine and boiler has been
placed in position. The latter, with
the help of triple-rigged blocks, has
the capacity to lift powders weighing
ten tons. Roads have been built and
many other Improvements made. The
senior Mr.. Watkins is practical ma
chinist and makes all the patterns for
the machinery used in and about the
mine. This mine was good producer
in past days, and, under its present
able management, will, no doubt, help
to materially increase Amador county's

TUOLUMNE COUNTY.

Sonora Banner: A good vein has
been struck in the Draper mine and
also huge volume of water, requiring
large pumps to handle it. Indications
are that a big body of ore is near at
hand.
The Tuolumne Mother Lode Mining
and Development Company closed down
this week. AS near as can be learned,
the cause is financial. 1t is also re-
ported that the property will soon pass
to the control of W. A. Nevills, who
will soon open it up, and, with money to
back it, it will step to it's proper place
in the line.
Sonora Independent: George Blake
has returned from San Francisco and
has closed the o. K. mine temporarily,
preparatory to putting up new machin-
cry. A crosscut tunnel is in 400 feet
and from this face shaft will be sunk
on the ledge. Prospects were bright at
the closing of works. The mine is
owned by the Murdock brothers.
Sonora MOTHER Lode: Several hun
dred feet of hydraulic pipe, water
wheel, two friction-geared hoists for a
double derrick, with cable and other
fittings, are here in transit to the Phil
adelphia diggings. The manager of
this property is showing the proper
spirit, and we hope will make a bowling
success of the venture.
Sonora Independent; The mill at the
ARIZONA mine is running night and day
on very rich ore. After each round of
holes in the ledge the superintendent
and foreman precede the miners, in Or
der to gather the specimen rock thrown
out by the blast. The work of STOPPING
