F. Coyle, P. +. Gillispie, Larry O'Neal
claims. The lodges are in a porphy-
ryitic formation, and show high grade
ore Of black copper, native copper and
gold and silver values. Water and
wood are plentiful in that locality.

Gold in Bricks
The Etna Advance says the High
land quartz mine on Russian creek,
Liberty district, owned by ]. M. Tethe-
row of Etna, and O'Neill, Butler and
Taylor of Yreka, is producing yellow
metal by the handful. Mr.. Tetherow
has brought out two bricks this spring
worth many thousands of bullion. The
ore body is getting better and richer
as depth is gained. The company
expects to put in a milling plant this
year. The Harris brothers in same
locality are also taking out rich pay.
They recently run into a bunch of ore
of about $50 pounds from which they
realized several thousand dollars, and
last Friday they encountered another
bunch that, in vulgar way of express
ing it, was lousy with gold. They
will take out of their property fifty or
sixty thousand dollars this year. They
have their mill running constantly on
rich ore outside the punches men
toned, that is good for thirty to fifty
dollars per ton.
Judge ]. S. Beard OF Yreka, and DR.
c. w. Nutting and Fred G. Smith OF
Etna, have bonded the old Steamboat
and Accidental gravel claims on Nc
Adams creek to w. A. Fish of Tehama
well known county official. Good
pay has been realized along the bed
rock in McAdams creek at various
times, but the great difficulty was in
drainage owing to the deepness to bed
rock and the great flow Of water
through the gravel below the surface.
The creek is to be worked by dredger
process for cleaning up the bedrock
gravel from the town of Fort Jones
clear up to it's tributaries, Deadwood
and Cherry creeks, where valuable
quartz, placer and hydraulic mining is
carried on with good success.

as has been seen in that city for many
day was the nugget brought from
Whiskytown by J. F. Schilling, post
master merchant, hotelman and now
miner. The nugget, about the size OF
pressed dried fig, weighs $64 and was
found in Mr.. Schilling's placer claim
in Bull gulch, six miles west of Whisky
town, by Frank B. Allen, who is doing
| the assessment work on the several
claims in Bull gulch owned by Mr.
ScHllllnB. lie mas NUMBER OF OJnel
nuggets of unusual size, but not Of the
proportions of the large one exhibited
| Mr.. Schilling was accopanied here
by Robert Davies, cashier Of the Bank
of Corning, who has been inspecting
the hydraulic mine near Whiskytowr
in which he and a number of other
Corning business men are interested.
Albert E. Egerton was also member
of the party. In company with w. p

Mule mine above Whiskytown, which
yielded between $4O0 and $500. Flinnel
and Egerton were operating under G
