Mining Notes.
cALAvERAs COUNTY.

Prospect: The old Hex mine at Rich
Gulch is being reopened, after state
of desuetude of thirteen years At one
time this was promising proposition
and thousands of dollars were spent in
top improvements. A fine mill was
erected, large boarding house and
other necessaries of big mine, but
then the money was gone, and but little
real development was done. j. o.
Stewart, a practical mining man of
wide experience, has now taken hold of
the mine and will give it thorough
test.
Jos. McClay, who has just completed
taking down the Union quartz mill
near Binum's, has gone to the mine
near San Domingo, where he will at
once commence active operations
Some sixteen or eighteen men will be
put to work at once, getting ready for
the erection of the mill. The mine has
been well opened by tunnels and drifts,
so that a large body of ore is all ready
for taking out and milling. Consider
able work remains to be done in grad
ing and cleaning out the ditch for water
to operate the machinery. AS soon as
the roads settle the mill will be hauled
to the ground and put up. The orc
has been thoroughly tested by mill
process and will doubtless render rich
returns.
From Jenny Lind Correspondent:
The Vance and Mobley brothers of
Jenny Lind are putting houses and i'm
provements on their claims near Bear
gulch, and propose to sink there some
300 feet. They feel confident of uncov-
ering at that depth mammoth vein,
as in the 80 feet now sunk, the ledge
widening out from few feet at the
surface to ten feet. The rock is of vari-
egated lines, with green, blue and yell
low carbonates, grey sulphides and
chlOrides and some free gold and sui
phurets. 1t is a fine milling ore, much
like the Beckley, some two miles to the
south on the same lode. The owners,
who are experienced miners, farmers
and mechanics, have a property that
with capital and hard work may de-
velop into mine of great value.
In the Hoover and Voight mine, also
Bear Gulch, good body of rich ore
was found at depth of 40 feet.
The Golden Eagle mine of Dolan and
EprOson, has been bonded to Angels
parties, who desire to sink and drift to
the east in search of another valuable
ore body. The surface indications are
that a rich deposit lies in this direction.
This claim pans out considerable free
gold.
Adjoining the Lost Log and Beckley
mines is the Tilford ranch lying on the
south. This is all mineral land, with
numerous quartz veins all showing gold.
In this vicinity is a great crook or
elbow in the country rock. which indi-
Gates bodies of ore beneath the surface,
which diligent search and intelligent
prospecting might bring to light. The
owner has, by superficial work, found
plenty of ore which only needs crushing
to pay e handsome dividend.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY

New Era: A number of men were
laid off at the Dead Horse last night.
There is considerabl speculation as to
what will be the next move in the
famous old mine.
The rich body of ore recently uncov-
cred at the Mayflower has been drifted
on q feet and shows up stronger than
ever. 1t is unquestionably very fine
property.
Magnet: Miss Olive Smith, one of
the teachers in the jamestown public
school, found nugget last Wednesday
that weighed $40 During one of the
recreations, she, with several others,
was standing in front of the building
and incidentally noticed what she sup
posed to be a piece of copper lying on
the ground where the water drips
from the caves. Upon picking it up
and examining it she found it to be
pure gold. Peter Hoy, the ieweler,
weighed it and fixed it's value at $40,
figured at SIS an ounce.
Durham and Miner, have just COM
pleted mining several tons of ore from
their New Century mine, situated in
the Knights Creek country, which
proved to be very satisfactory.
A deal was consummatcd at Carriers
last Saturday wherein the Ii Hung
Chang quartz claim, in the Jaw bone
district, passes from the hands of
William Hamilton into those of Messrs
Barrett and McGOvern of the West
Side Flume and Lumber Company.
We did not learn what the price paid
was but it was a cash transaction. Mr..
Hamilton located the claim last August
and uncovered q foot ledge. Soon
after he erected an arastra which he
has operated with water. A fine free
water-right goes with the property.

Astounding Figures.

For the year ending Jnne 80, 1899,
the steam railroads of the United States
employed 928, 924 persons, or about one
eightieth of the then population. That
is a statistical fact of ponderosity. but
it does not rise to the level OF this,
namely. that during the same year the
roads moved IA, 59J 900, 600 passengers
and 123, 667, 900, 900 tons of freight a
distance of one mile. Divide the sum
OF these two sets OF figures, by the
number of employees, and we find the
share of work done by each was EQUIV
alent to moving Is, 70S passengers one
mile and 1873, 100 tons of freight one
mile, or the movement by each en-
ploye OF one passenger and 8.5 tons of
freight fOrty-three miles each day of
the year. Talk of the expressiveness
OF statistics-is there better example
of it than that? Such is the aid that
machinery has been to man. Such is
the result of labor-saving and time
eliminating devices in one direction
alone. Look backward fifty years and
consider what was the ability of one
man when he used horsepower as a
means to movement of passengers and
freight compared with the capacity a
railway gives him now, and reflect
upon the advance of industrial power
and inventive genius. Look forward a
half century and speculate as freely as
one may on what will be Individual pow
or at the end of that time in that direc-
ton, if betterment, discovery and in,
vention continue the strides they are
now maintaining-one can scarcely ex-
coed in imagination what the future
will disclose in this regard. Record

NIqllt work.

Extra strain needs extra strength.
When man begins to add to his hours
of labor, and subtract from his hours
of rest, he is putting an extra strain on
brain and body. In such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic medi-
cines. These can only injure. The spur
forces on the horse, but does not
strengthen him. Stimulants are only
spurs. The need of the body Is
strength. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is invaluable to overworked
men and women. It strengthens the
stomach, increases the blood supply,
nourishes the nerves, and gives vital
power to brain and body.
There Is no alcohol in Golden Med
ical Discovery" 1t contains no opium,
cocaine or other narcotic. II is strictly
a temperance medicine.
Mr.. Edward Jacobs, of Marengo Crawford Co.,
Indiana, writes: WAfter three years Of suffering
with liver trouble and malaria gave up all
hopes Of ever getting stout again, and the last
chance was to try your medicine. had tried
all the home doctors and received but little re-
lief. After taking three bottles of DR.. Pierce's

UNBLUsHING BATHING SUITs.-The
summer residents of Rockawsy Beach.
Long Island. are preparing crusade
against the bathing suit habit. which
has Jared upon their nerves until they
can stand 1t no longer, Abbreviated
bathing suits, which do not contne
themselves to the seashore, but are
seen on the streets aud in all parts OF
the village, have brought out the pro-
test. Young women, sometimes 10
crowds and sometimes accompanied by
young meD, have got into the habit OF
promepadiDg the streets 10 their bath
ing suits. Some Of them have gone so
far as to call at the postoffice for their
mail In that costume, and others have
been seen out driving In the very
lightest and ARREST apparel. Some OF
the suits are considered offensive and
their weareIs have been booted at.
The hosiery comes In for no little
criticism also. Stockings which are
visible from some distance above the
knee. of vivid hue, held In place by
wonderful gafters, have made Rocks
way Beach dizzy. 1t Is said that II the
batbers persist in going about the viii
lsge in abbreviated costumes the police
will be asked to act In the matter.
