shaft at the Jumper mine is now down
nearly 1900 feet at which depth they
will crosscut to cut the vein. The
slopes in the mine are looking well and
there are large ore reserves in sight.
The mill is dropping sixty stamps con-
stantly, fifty on Jumper and ten on
Golden Rule ore. The ore from the
latter, while not up to the standard, is
of fair grade, the vein being twelve
feet wide and the shoot 240 feet long.
Toney Ennis and Lee Bowen are
steadily at work on the X-Ray mine in
the neighborhood of the famous Dens-
more. A two and one-half-foot vein
has been encountered at depth Of
thirty five feet which looks exceedingly
we'll.
Ed. Hill is once more to be seen in
our busy burg. He arrived here in
company with Manager Terry of the
California Marble Company and will
run the Burleigh which has been re-
Gently installed at the quarry.
Independent: A rich strike has been
made in the old Clio mine, near Jackson
vile. in drift at the 10O-foot level of
their new shaft. The vein is nearly six
feet wide, showing free gold in consider
able quantitity.
At the Gladstone and Stanley mines
in the Jacksonville vicinity, heavy rich
gold is being found which promises to
develop in something important.
Preparations are being made for
sinking new incline at the Over mine
on Bald mountain. Said shaft will be
started from the surface and will tap
the main and other shoots at suffic-
lent depth to work the property in
"apple pie" order. The gasoline en-
gine heretofore used in the tunnel will
be placed in position to operate the
hoist. This mine has been good pro-
ducer and holds out every indication to
continue as such.
Mother Lode: The old mill at the
Seminole mine is being overhauled and
put in condition to commence dropping
stamps. Superintendent Safiey is
pushing preparatory work on the mine
and will soon be extracting ore.
The Fleming mine, near Coulter
vile, owned by j. H. Rogers, now Of
Carriers, has been bonded to a strong
company headed by James M. Meighan
and A. P. Dron. Work will be COM
menced and crosscutted vigorously.
The machinery for the new mill at
the Temescal mine at Sugar Pine is
now at the depot here, and will be re-
moved to the site as soon as possible.
Superintendent ]. w. Brown informs
us that delay is caused by his inability
to get his lumber, which is at Hiatt
Bros. yards.
Democratic Banner: 1t is rumored
hereabouts that the mill on the Jefier-
son mine, near Groveland, was started
up few days ago.
Sinking still continues at the Poison
Oak, situated short distance south
west of Carriers, and the ore is reported
as being of an extraordinary high
value.
John L. Tonkins, superintendent of
the Rising Sun, was in town Wednes-
day and reports development work as
progressing satisfactorily at the mine.
The mill will be in operation soon.
The report that the Croesus mine
had resumed operations is, we regret
very much to say, untrue. We have
no knowledge as to when it will be
started again, but will gladly inform
the Banner readers when such occurs.
The Croesus is undoubtedly a good
piece OF property, and to obliterate the
false impression, which seems to have
been made by some nothing g-else-to do
person, we here say that we were re-
liably informed that the suspension Of
work was entirely due to disrgree-
ment among the bOndholders. We
are satisfied the Croesus will hold a
prominent place among the yellow
metal producers some day.
