The Gwin Mine.

The old board of directors of the
Gwin mine was reelected, with F. F.
Thomas president and general manager,
G. S. Renedict vice-president, D. Me
Clure superintendent and J. J. Craw-
ford secretary. Official reports of the
mine for the year just past say that,
though nearly 1901 tons Of ore were
extracted, the shaft being no deeper,
the estimates of ore reserves show
800, 900 tons of ore above the 16O0-foot-
or lowest-level, compared with 311,-
800 tons year ago, due chiefly to the
unusually large development of ore on
the 160O-foot level, the grade of which,
thus far worked, has not averaged less
than So per ton. The production of
the mine during the present company's
ownership has been to April 1, 1900,
III, 74s tons of ore, which yielded s7O2, :
0O3.S1, and FROM April l, 1900 to April
l, 1901, 99,211 tons, which yielded
s4l9, 42l.4S, a. total of 27O,9 tons,

Mining Evidently Pays.

A glance at the list of mine divi-
dends for April in this issue should
dispel any illusion that pessimists en-
deavor to create when they assert that
mining does not pay" A full list of
dividend payers is impossible to obtain
as many mining companies object to
giving out any inflammation regarding
production or profits. This is notably
the case in California where only few
OF the many dividend payers are
quoted. The Kennedy for instance
never gives out information for the
benefit OF the State, although we know
the mine paid about So, OOO,OOO in divi-
dends up to the beginning of 1899,
since which time we have no means of
knowing what the profits from the mine
are, And there are many others
which withhold information so that we
can only publish those which are OBJ
tainable. But as a comparison with
dividends paid from other lines of
business, the figures given in the mine
dividend table present positive proof
that mining as business is profitable

Amador County Electricity.

On the evening of April 10Th, the
Standard Electric Co.'S. electrician at
the plant near here, turned the switch
and 10! radiant white light blazed
forth in San Jose, 1874 miles distant.
The turning on of the current was
experimental to see if all the machinery
was in working order. 1t was the
initial attempt of the Standard Electric
Company to furnish San Jose with light
from the power of the falling water of
the Mokelumne river.
The trial was success and the fluid
is still flowing unimpeded in the silent
wires, go. 600 volts of it ready for dis
tributiOn to the citizens of San Jose.

Our Mines and Prospective Ones.

The producing mines along the
mother lode in this county are paying
regular dividends, and all of them have
ore in sight. The outlook for years of
regular production appears bright in
each case. In the meantime, new
mines are being opened, among which
may be mentioned the Fremont and
Cover, Bunker Hill, Lincoln, Mutual,
Amador Queen No. 2, Peerless and
Kirkwood. Mining, therefore, in
Amador county is not only year in
and year out industry, but a sure
shot paying one at that, and what is
true of this county is also true of other
counties along the same lode. Deep
mining is to become the watchword all
along the line, for it is generally be-
lieved that rich treasure will be the re-
ward of all who sink deep enough.

Camp 0pra News.

CAMP OPRA, April "a, 1901.-Miss
Ethel Wharf of this place, visited
friends in lone last Saturday and Sum-
day.
Fred Horton killed a large rattle
snake near the Camp Opra schoolhouse
last week. The reptile had nine
buttons.
Work at the Moon copper mine near
this place, is progressing as fast and
favorably as circumstances will permit.
Henry Russell and his brother have
turned their attention to mining.
Joseph Vanderbilt, formerly of Jack
son but now Of this place, has been on
the sick list for the last two weeks.
Mrs. Ben Horn and son, of lone, paid
friends at this place a short visit last
Friday.
The county road extending from
Copper Center to this place has been
repaired and put in excellent condition
for the benefit of the travelling public.
Mrs. Mary Thomas, who resides near
lone, was the recipient of a delightful
farewell surprise party on Thursday
evening of last week. The evening
was pleasantly spent by those present
in singing, dancing and other amuse-
ments. Cake and other refreshments
were served at midnight to which all
did ample justice. Mrs. Thomas is an
accomplished lady and leaves a large
number of warm friends in this locality.
A social dance took place at the
Toni ranch, near lone, last Friday
evening and was well attended by the
people from the surrounding country.
Good music for the occasion was fur
nished.
The temple of knowledge at this
place would present neater appear
ance if the Trustees would only give it
few coats of fresh paint. A well at

venient. It is rather a hard task for

A Rich Deposit.

In referring to the Dondero gravel
claim near Columbia, Tuolumne
county, the "Mother Lode Magnet"
says: "When one stops to think of
using ten pounds of quicksilver every
day and at the cleanup at night find
ing this as dry as bran; or, in other
words, to have a cleanup of from one
half to full gold pan every night, and
this taken from gravel no where near
the ledge or bed rock, some idea can
be gained of the richness of the deposit.
This surely is one of the biggest things
in the county in the gravel mining
line,''
