The Jilson a. Roberts quartz mine in
Cottonwood district, near Hornbrook
has been one of the richest gold pro.
ducers in Si,kiyou county, and still
continues to pay handsomely. About
1,2O0,OO0s has already been taken out
within couple of years, and there is
about 750000S Of good ore in sight, as
estimated by assays. 1t has eretofore
been considered sort of blanket ledge
but late developments show that it Is
a well defined permanent ledge, aud
extends downward in a solid body
about % feet in width. The output
last month was 45,0O0S, the pay roll OF
hands amounting to about 6,OO0S a
month. At the Dewey mine, the men
are busily engaged in building new
quartz mill and hauling the machinery
from the railroad. Prospecting work
is also progressing in new and deeper
tunnel. Considerable dead work will
be done during the cold weather
months, but in the spring quartz will
/ be taken to the new mill for crushing
with certainty of reward. d.-Y"eka Journ-
