Mining Notes.
cALAvERAs COUNTY.

Chronicles: The Anglo-Saxon Com
pany is opening the lower drift on the
Tiger vein which taps the old shaft lS5
feet deep. AS none of the ore west of
the shaft has been stopped out it will
have 1876 feet of back on that end of the
vein. Lately a small opening was
made on the easterly portion of the
Anglo-Saxon vein which uncovered
some fine-looking ore.
The Mead Gold Mining Company is
preparing the ground for the work of
sinking main shaft on one of its
lodges.
Mr.. Jens expects to prospect in April
on the Lowering tract, adjoining the
Mead and Hanks property.
Prospect: The old Union quartz
mill near Binum's, is being torn down
and will be moved to the Sugar Pine
mine near Murphys. A number of the
town boys are engaged on the work.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Lightner mine, held in Stockton last
Wednesday, dividend of % cents was
ordered payable on February Goth.
Citizen: Last Saturday an explosion
of charge of dynamite in the San
Justin mine, near Angels, opened up a
subterranean river which flowed into
the mine and filed it with water. The
exact damage to the mine cannot be
computed and it will be several weeks
before operations can be resumed.
A $4,000 pocket was taken from the
Bald Mountain mine at Columbia last
week, one piece alone netting S1100.
The Gold Hill mine at Angels is put
ting in Jack pump to raise the water
from the shaft, there being at this
time 1853 feet in it.
George Sickle Sr., and James F.
Bennett, have disposed of niue near
the Gold Cliff to the Utica Company
for $500 The Utica people have
also purchased the Dead Horse quartz
mine and millsite near by.

University of California,

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Feb
ruary 10, 190l.-The University of Cali
fornia is to be made the headq quarters
for the irrigatiOns of the United States
government. Elwood Mead, United
States Irrigation Expert in Charge, the
leading irrigation specialist of America,
has been invited to organize a depart
ment OF irrigation in the University.
He will remain at the head of the
national irrigation bureau, but his
home and office will be 10 Berkeley, and
he will spend portion of each term
lecturing at the University His first
course, to begin about March l., and
run through April, will be on 'sInsti-
tutious of Irrigation. The very ex-
tensive field Investigations which the
government is pursuing under his direc-
ton will offer to his students the best
possible opportunity for practical
study. The students can aid directly
in the government Investigations of
methods of irrigation, the duty of
water, the building of storage reser-
voirs, the conservation of food waters
etc.
Professor Mead is man of forty
three, graduate OF Purdue, and a
former memb Der of the faculty OF Colo
RADIO Agricultural College. His re-
ports as State Engineer of Wyoming.
from 1888 to 1899, and the publications
OF the government bureau of irrigation,
prepared under his direction, have
been highly important contributions to
the literature Of irrigation. During
his eleven years of service in Wyoming,
Professor Mead perfected the Wyoming
system of irrigation law, the best in
the United States. His varied expert
ence as consulting engineer, as a
practicing attorney, and as a university
man have peculiarly fitted him for the
task of organizing an irrigation depart
ment in the University. One of the
most important features of this new de-
partment is the close cooperation
which is insured between the UNIVERSE
ty OF California and the national gov
eminent. The new department,iwhic
will work in harmony with the Uni
versity departments of agriculture and
civil engineering, promises to BET the
greatest practical usefulness to the
State.
Cordial letters expressing grat;fica-
ton at their appointment as mem bers
of the Agricultural Board of Advisors
of the University, which will exercise
authority over the execution of the
Phoebe A. Hearst plan, have been re-
ceived by the University from Paul
WallOt OF Dresden, Germany, architect
of the new parliament buildings; from
John Fl. Carrere of the famous New
York firm of architects, Carrere &
Hastings; from Walter Cook, of the
New York firm of Babb, Cook &
Willard; from Desire Despradelle of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nolOgy in Boston; and from John Galen
Howard of New York, of the firm of
Howard, Caldwell & Morgan. The
last two men were prize winners in the
Hearst competition.
Clarence Warren Peck of Santa Cruz
county. Harold M. Nook of Fowler.
and L. H. Tracy of Sacramento, have
been appointed by the University, at
the request of the japanese authorities,
as teachers in the high schools of
Yamaguchi prefecture in Japan
Hearst Hall, recently moved to the
campus and equipped as the best
wOmen's gymnasium in the United
States, has been formally dedicated by
the women students.

Barren Zones.

In mining, an ounce of proved fact is
worth a ton of improved theory.
There are many theories as yet un-
proved. There are, too, substantial
facts, generally known now, that were
once improved theories. One of those
theories, concerning barren zones, is
fast becoming an established fact. It
is the old problem in new phase, DO
mines go DOWN."
In the majority of cases there comes
a time in the development of mine
when zones barren of all ore are en-
countered. This generally occurs in
the case of sulphide ores when what
may be styled the permanent water
level is reached, and continues through
what may similarly be termed the ebb
and flow water line.
The theory here comes in that
through the seasons this permanent
water line rises and recedes, some
times In Times countless aeons being
higher or lower than at others, the ore
becoming decomposed and the ores be-
ing leached out, new ore bodies mean
while forming containing no metallic
value, occasiOning a barren zone.
Another theory takes up the dissolving
of metals by hot alkaline water, car
bonic acid being present, which, meet
ing with volcanic gases from below,
would precipitate metals ''along the
lines of great resistance" thus again
0ccasioning barren zones, the character
Of the rock through which the vein in
its entirety passed not being through
out its entire extent favorable to the
deposition of ore.
The possession OF sufficient nerve and
money has demonstrated the existence
of paying ore bodies below such barren
zones. Whatever the cause, the
theory that such barren zones actually
exist has passed into the stage of &C.
cepted fact. it having been found that
below such barren zones existed ore of
the permanent water line no longer
marked the limit of profitable mining.
The fact has been demonstrated in deep
mining in California. Colorado and
Montana, where some of the best pay
ing mines were once abandoned till
modern mining methods permitted
deeper working. In Amador county,
Cal, the Kennedy gold mine, one of
the richest in the State, was barren of
all pay ore for nearly 200 feet in depth.
In Calaveras county the great Gwin
mine was once sold for song because
OF the occurrence of barren zone. In
Sierra county, Cal, the Sierra Buttes
mine was worked to a depth OF nearly
5000 feet, when ''barren zone" was
encountered, and this property, which

tenance of inmates of the reform schools charge against

the Superior Judges have made rule to send youth

Of these, handsome little plant, well
covered with foliage, which yet does
not exceed two feet in height and is
well proportioned in every way, living
in picturesque flower pot only few

(Sakura), still producing yearly their
pretty white blossoms, are nearly as
old and yet appear to be perfectly
healthy.
The art Of producing these miniature
trees is secret which is handed down
from father to son in a few Japanese
families, and as Mr.. Eida a member of
one Of these families, truly remarks, it
is q wonderful process which can pro-
duce q perfect tree from one to two feet

yet restricted to pot, and of great age.
These little trees are in fact miniatures
in every particular of the giants of tho
forest.
