Ell DORADO COUNTY.

Mountain Democrat; Last Monday
Charley Edner was down from Noun
tain View and made US friendly call.
Among mining developments due to j..
q. Bradley, he said the old works on
the Ono mine were being cleaned out
and the mill put in order for opera
tions. He says Bradley and his back.
ers are doing good work on the Ono
and other mines In that vicinity. To
make hay while the sun shines, Edner's
stage line has been suspended but will
hereafter make regular trips every
Saturday.
On Thursday last Alb Grey, Dallas
Bosquit and Joe Keene, with q wagon
load Of provisions, left for a point near
Gattis Creek, where they will spend
several weeks in opening up and deter
mining the extent of prospect re-
Gently obtained, and which gives prom
ise of eventually opening up an old
channel the lower portion OF which was
worked in earlier days with good re.
suits.
Nugget: The report Of rich strike
in the Gomez quartz mine on Mathenas
Creek, reached this city last evening.
The mineis owned by Henry Koener
Quartz Henry the we'll known pros.
pector of Diamond District, who pur-
chased it from an old Spaniard about
two years ago.
Henry recently leased the property
to William Yates and Thomas Williams
but little work has been done on the
property. The strike was made in q
shallow prospect hole. A great deal of
gold has, however, already been taken
out. The ledge is large one about
eight feet in breadth but the rich ore
is in narrow seam on the east wall.
Tho ore in this seam is said to be of
fabulous richness. 1t will, OF course,
take future development work to de-
termine the extent of the ore body and
the value and permanency of the
strike.
Very rich ore was struck during the
week at the Union mine in an open cut.
Much of the ore, it is said, being speci-
men rock.
1t is said that large body of high
grade ore has been struck in tunnel No.

ployed at this property, lack of water

week.
Davis Brothers, l.. NJ. aud Marshal,
have bonded quartz mine on Forni's
ranch one mile southwest of El Dorado
and are preparing to install a steam
hoist and pump on the property. A
shaft so feet in depth has heretofore
been sunk by Davis Bros. on the prop
erty. The ledge while not a large one
carries very high grade ore.
Quite force of men are employed at
the Pleasant and American Bar river
mine on the Middle Fork Of the Amer.
lean below Michigan Bluff. The COM
pany is E. c. Kavanaugh, Geo. Nc
Auley, John Filming and James Ryan,
and their holdings comprise II miles of
American River bed. The work of ex.
tending the tunnel at Horseshoe Bar is
In progress. The tunnel will be low
enough to allow the company to work
the river bars in their holding above
the Big Bend.

by Henry Smith to the Baker brothers
recently. Consideration about 90, 900.
The Draper mine will have its shaft
cleared of water this week when an ex-
animation will be made by the new
company operating as to its future de-
velopment.
At the Siberian group of mines near
Columbia, night and day shift are
rushing the work at the 250-:oot tunnel
and also in winze sunk from the tun-
mel on the shoot II the property holds
out in its bright outlook as it does at
present, q mill will be erected in the
near future. Fred Reinville, late of
Crystalline mine, has charge of the
work
The Treasure group near Columbia,
night and day shift are sinking. The
Treasure and Siberian properties have
small veins, but are OF high grade mill
ing ore, and are operated by the Fed
eral Exploration Company of New
York. w. H. Frye has charge of the
work at the Treasure.
Work is steadily progressing on the
new water ditch for the Horse Shoe
Bend property. This water way will
be eight feet wide by four feet in depth
and calculated to carry 10000 miners
inches, and will be of sufficient fall to
generate power to run the mine on an
extensive scale.
The Free Lance, on Berger's ranc h,
near the Tuolumne river, is dropping
five stamps on good ore. Twelve men,
divided into two shifts, are working
two tunnels on the mountain side,
keeping the mill we'll supplied. The
upper tunnel is about 100 feet in length
while the lower is about 300, and from
the latter a shaft is in progress on the
shoot. The vein averages from three
to four feet. The property is bonded
from F. Greiner by and is under the
supervision of C. Meyer.
The Brewer g. Adams, about one
half mile north of the Free Lance, has
a tunnel into the mountain about 60
feet from which winze is being sunk.
The property is but in its infancy, but
promises good returns.

Rhetts Mine-Plymouth

The location of permanent shaft on
the Rhetta mine north of Plymouth
will soon be decided upon. The drift
ing north and south on the ledge at the
tunnel level has disclosed an extensive
ore shoot. The tunnel has been run
in on the ledge. Tits property is con-
sidered good miuiug property, and if
the present prospects continue, there
is likelihood Of extensive workings.
The ore is of ii fair grade and will
justify the erection of d mill. and the
promoters are confident of It's success

To Prevent Smallpox Scars.

In smallpox, when the eruptions
burst and discharge their matter, an
ointment made of cream and common
garden parsley, and constantly applied
by means of soft swab or rag rolled
around small stick, to keep the sores
soft, and to prevent their hardening,
will entirely prevent any marks or scars
being left on the face.

of the collegians appreciation Of the in

tests.
1t will be observed this evening that
the race for the big league pennant is be-
ginning to look like sure thing for the
Brooklyns. They are gradually leaving
the other teams behind and the chance of
the Phillies are daily becoming Simmer
and simmer This is easy to understand.
The Phillies are not in the same class as
the Brooklyns and it may be that the Phil
lies will have little more than they can
do to keep in the first division. The Bos-
tons have dealt the Phillies a heavy blow
and there is every reason for thinking that
the Beaneaters will be the team to fight it
out with the Pirates for second place. The
St Louis team is getting from bad to worse.
They have lost one of their best players
for the balance Of the season and they can
i'll spare him. Their pitchers are not filling
the bill by any means and the team as
whole will have to make a remarkable i'm
provement to get into the first division.

GUS RUHLIN's CAREER.
How He Came to Go Into the Ring and
His Early Flights.


Gus Rubin, the Akron giant, whose de-
cisive victory over Sharkey recently places
him in the front. rank of fighters, is a
young man, both In years and in the pugi-
listic profession. Those who have known
him and who have previously witnessed his
ring performances were not surprised at the
outcome of his fight with Sharkey, al
though they may not have backed the
Akron man. ~, =.
An Akron, Ohio. man who is well ac-
quainted with Gus Rubin tells some inter-
esting matter relating to the giants early
career. About three years ago. Rubin
was employed as foreman of a gang Of
laborers at the Werner Printing Company's
works at Akron. He had up TO that time
gave him a local reputation, but al that
period a ring career was scarcely to be
predicted for him.
Rubin was born in Canton Ohio, which
has within recent years leaped into fame
as the home OF other great men, twenty
six years ago. While yet a mere child
his parents removed to Akron and have re-
sided there ever since. AZ boy, Rubin
worked in a brickyard and 1t is probable
that in carrying bricks he laid the founda-
ton for his great muscular development.
He. had no trade but was considered good
steady workman.
In Akron Rubin bears good reputa-

BILE young man even by those who frown
upon the prize ring. He was a member of
the Akron gymnasium. but his athletic
practice was confined principally to box
