TuoLuMNE COUNTY

Mother Lode: The Draper mine,
which has long been known as first
class property, is now undergoing i'm
prOvements to put it in condition to
yield up its riches. A large Cornish
pump has been installed, which will
handle all the water likely to be en-
countered. A ditch has been COM
pleted to bring in all the water needed
to run hoist, mill and batteries. The
mine is to be equipped with the very
latest apparatus for safe and easy work
ing and the owners, as we'll as the gen.
eral manager, L. Lahaise, seem deter
mined to place the property in such
condition that when once started up,
no time will be lost from accidents to
poor machinery or insufficient supplies.
The owners of the Draper are also con-
trollers of the Starr King, one of the
best properties on the east belt, and
the same liberal methods are being en-
ployed in fitting the latter mine as on
the Draper. The owners are now on
the ground and have thoroughly ex-
smined their properties. They are
putting in their money intelligently,
in business like way as they would
engage in manufacturing or any other
legitimate enterprise, and they will be
rewarded. When everything is ready
for it, mill will be erected on the
Draper.
A boiler, pump and other machinery
were unloaded at the depot this week
for the Golden West mine, and were
later taken to the mine.
A. c. Morrison is now general man
ager of the Crystalline mine neal

cALAvERAs COUNTY.

Citizen: Work has been commenced
, at the Emerson quartz mine near Mo-
p, kelumne Hill, the water pipes having
been laid and the hosting of water
from the shaft commenced last Thurs
day.
The Petticoat property, in the Rail-
road Flat mining district, shows large
quantities of high grade ore and every
thing is progressing in most favor
able manner. Recently 400 tons of ore
wers crushed and yielded 800, 900.
Good mines are all around the property
and Railroad Flat has brilliant future
in her mining interests.
On the Sunrise, which is situated at
Railroad Flat and is superintended by
Clyde Weatherwax, new steam hoist
is being put up and development work
about the mine is progressing salts
iactorily. At the bottom of the shaft
high-grade ore has been found and the
sinking will be continued. The Last
Chance is working, and work will be
resumed on the Paragon also.
The new shaft of the Birdena mine,
now down about seventy feet, will be
sunk deeper when the new steam hoist
is in operation, which will be in the
course of few days. Plenty of good
ore has been found. w. w. Cook, the
promoter of the Birdena, has also
bonded the Creighton ranch property
for the Birdena people, and will also
develop that property, which lies west
of the Birdena. Large deposits of ore
have been found on this property and
it promises well from the surface indi-
cations.
A heavy flow of water from some old
workings was unexpectedly tapped in
the shaft of the Lloyd, on Central Hill
near San Andreas, this week and drove
the force from the mine and necessi-
tated a temporary suspension of opera
tions. The water is supposed to come
from the Old Union shaft. and the flow
was bO SE0du bndb tlAO pumps WoTO uu-
able to keep it out of the shaft, and
after working hard for thirty-six hours
and steady gain of water being notice
able in the shaft, it was decided to sus-
pend operations for time and put in
pumping machinery of a mnch greater
capacity than that at present employed.
The prospects were of the brightest
when this unforeseen state of affairs
presented itself, and it is much to be
regretted by all. However, Mr.. Pal
mer, who has the mine in bond, knows
the surrounding country well and has
much faith in the Lloyd and will soon
again go ahead in the work of develop
ment.
Mountain Echo: The mill at the
Demarest mine is running day and
night crushing ore from the 400 and
600 foot levels. The mine looks better
than ever, and we hope to chronicle a
large yield at the next cleanup.

Funeral Of Thomas Cunnin CHAM.

The funeral of Thomas Cunningham,
which was held in Stockton, Nov. 30,
was the largest function of the kind in
the history OF that county. There
were nearly 500 lodgemen in line, to-
gether with peace officers from all
parts of the State. The ordeal was too
much for Sheriff Purvis of Stanislaus
county, and he tainted three times
while passing through the house with
the file viewing the remains of his old
friend.
