TUOLUMNE COUNTY

New Era: A. c. Maier, Consta BILE
William Heath and others, are inter-
ested in what is reported great placer
discovery on the main Tuolumne river.
The diggings will need considerable
opening up, and this will be done as
the water subsidies sufficiently to
warrant uninterrupted operation.
At the Grizzly work for the present
is being confined to drifting both ways
from the 300, the bottom level, and
north on the 700. The mine is looking
better than ever before during it's ex-
istence, even in the halcyon days of old
when gold came like water from the
famous claim.
The new mill on the Hope is up and
ready to begin crushing. 1t is of ten
stamps and said to be the finest of it's
size in the State. 1t was made in its
entirety at the Sanora Foundry, and
put up under the supervision OF Ed.
Hamilton OF Sonora. The stamps were
started dropping New Years day, and
every part Of the machinery worked as
smooth as glass. A break in the T. c.
w. Co.'S, ditch forced hang-up.
The mill speaks we'll for Mr.. D. Pater-
son and the output of his well-known
foundry. He has also just completed
other mine orders and has several more
toturn out within the coming sixty
DAYS.

Senate Joint Resolution No. G.

introduced by Senator Davis, Janu-
airy 9, 1900. Referred to Committee On
Forestry and Water Storage.
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 6.
Relative to Forest Reservation.
Whereas, The United States owns
in California eight millions of acres of
forest reserves; and
Whereas, More timber is DESTROYED
in the state every year through forest
fires than is needed for five years of
economic use; and
Whereas, Roads should be construct
ed and maintained, that the forests of
enormous value may be accessible and
may be protected from forest fires; and
Whereas, The services of trained
foresters are needed that only trees
ripe for the ak may be cut, thus intro
'ducing system of forestry successfully
used in European countries; and
Whereas, The Inauguration of for
estry as an income-producing industry
would give employment to hundreds of
men, notably to soldiers honorably dis
charged from the government service;
and
Whereas, Even a portion of the
millions of acres of government reserves
under a system of forestry, would yield
revenue sufficient in amount annually
to purchase all the groves of sequoias
giant trees nowhere else existing in the
world now owned by private parties;
therefore, belt
Resolved by the senate and assem- blv
of the State of California, jointly, That
on behalf of the interests of the United
States Government itself. we urge an
appropriation by the congress of money
to be expended in the accomplishment
of the objects named in the above pre-
amble, and we instruct our senators
and request our representatives to use
their best efforts to accomplish the
purpose herein recommended.

ITEMS FROM THE regions Of GOLD
VAST DEPOSITS IN THE LEW
WALLACE GROUP.
New Quartz Lode Recently Opened Near
Angles Camp.-Drifting In Order
at the Grizzly.
CALAVERAS COUNTY.

Citizen: A mining property of which
there has been considerable talk about
of late, on account of the vast deposits
and the magnitude of the proposition,
is the Lew Wallace group of mines,
situated about two miles northeast of
San Andreas. The group consists of
seven full quartz claims and twenty
acre placer claim, and a five-acre mill
site and water right are included in
the property. Besides, the ground is
timbered and an unlimited quantity is
at hand for all purposes. The owners
who are San Andreas gentlemen, ex-
perienced in mining, have done con-
siderable development work under di-
rection of the superintendent, NJ Voor-
heis. There are four tunnels on the
property, approximating some 500 feet
in length, all run even with the water
line, and wherever pick has been
struck fine prospect is shown, gold
being found almost anywhere. In the
Lew Wallace proper there is deposit
of decomposed quartz of vast quauti-
ties, gold being found all through it
and it gets better as depth is reached
There are hundreds upon hundreds of
tons of this quartz, and the expense of
working it is nominal. This deposit
alone, with the proper machinery for
handling it in large quantities, would
make the fortunes of the owners of the
property. The quartz taken from the
different claims in the group all pros
poets well and shows mp good in sui
phurets. Recently an expert miner, in
looking at the rock taken from so near
the surface, said that with the showing
of sulphurets at that depth the profits
from these alone deeper down in the
mines would be enormous. The county
road passes the property and the cleo
trio power line is near by and could be
brought onto the property and utilized
in its working at very little cost.
Taken all together, the Lew Wallace
group of mines is one of the most
favorably situated pieces of mining
property in Calaveras county for eco
nomical working, and the prospects
show up no better in any other mine
we have yet visited.
Richmond & Shepherd are opening
new and fine looking quartz lode on
of rock have been sent to Thos. Price
& Son of San Francisco, for assay and
a satisfactory return is sure to result.
1t is rumored that boom in mining
is now on in the Collierville district
and across the river in Tuolumne
county. Golfers two-stamp mill is
now crushing rock assaying 800 per
ton, the supply of ore being immense.

f. '. Buckley, a geologist of consid-
erable note, who on several occasions
| made visits to our city to look into the
building stone deposits in this vicinity,
has been appointed state geologist Of
missouri. During the time which he
spent here he made hosts of friends
who will be gratified to hear of his
good fortune. Editorially, the Milwau-
kee Sentinel has the following to say in
part:
DR.. Ernest V. Buckley, the young
Wisconsin geologist who has been ap-
pointed state geOlogist for Missouri, is
one OF the most successful and talented
young men ever graduated BIZ the Wis
consin University He began his
professional career five years ago as an
Instructor in geology in the university.
DIR. Buckley, having selected geology
as his profession, thoroughly prepared
himself by a course under Professor
Van Hise, and after serving a year as
assistant instructor was appointed as.
slstant state geologist, and in that
capacity has demonstrated his ability.
de first attracted public attention
through his survey Of the building stone
OF W lsconsln quaTries, and the products
OF his work are now on exhibition at the
Pan-AmeTican exposition. This survey
was thorough and scientific and has done
much to place before the public the
good qualities Of the stone found in the
state. DR.. Buckley's work has earned
hlm national reputation, and his APP
polntment to the important and we'll
paid Missouri position Is a deserved re-
cognition Of his abilities. The young
scientist is creditable representative Of
the state, and especially Of the great
state institution in which be was trained.

INJURY PROVED FATAL.

As an echo of a Fourth of July cele-
bration we have this week to chronicle
the death of Henry Gumtz Our read
ers will remember of seeing an account
IN this paper on July 9th of an accident
which happened to this boy on the day,
first referred to. He in company with
a number of other boys of his own age
was engaged in firing off an improvised
cannon made from a section Of gas pipe.
The boys, previous TO the accident, had
put large charge of powder in the toy
gun and after ramming il down with
paper and grass, fuse was attached
and llt. Henry was standing directly
back OF it. As soon as the fire reached
the powder the cannon exploded and
one OF the fragments struck the boy in
the knee zap, He was taken to the
hospital, where he remained for six
weeks, afterwards being removed to his
home Two operations were performed,
the last one Wednesday morning when
his leg was amputated in the hopes of
saving his life. The boy had grown so
week from long suffering that he did
not survive the operation and died a
lew hours after. Deceased was q son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Gumtz and
was but fourteen years Of age. The
funeral was held Saturday morning
from lions church.
