Stag Hounds.

d. B. Pardoe, of the Julian district,
took three large stag hound pups to
the Sutter Creek slaughter house Tues
day of last week, where they will be
cared for and taught to look after the
stock. They were ungainiy looking
fellows, but are said to be of great value
as watch dogs for mountain ranges.
Their keen scent enables them to give
immediate warning of the approach OF
any earnivorous animal, particularly
the coyote, which in appearance they
most resemble. They grow to con-
siderable size, are very teachable, and
in many countries are considered very
valuable,

Railroad Notes.

Nearly all the mon employed on the
lone and Eastern railroad quit on Tues
day of last week. Work was almost
entirely suspended for a few days. The
reason assigned for the men quitting is
that the day for poll tax collection be-
ing near, the men preferred to throw
up their jobs to running the risk of
having their slim wages docked to the
tune of 81 in one week-a sum which
they claim would eat up the major por-
tion of their net earnings for week.
The second trestle around the curve
opposite Mountain Springs is being put
in, and when this is completed there
will be nothing to prevent track laying
as far as Cyclone station.
1t is now stated that no effort will be
made to open up freight and pas
senger depot at Mountain Springs.
There is no small freight coming over
the road as far as Ranlett; only car
load lots of tim and oil. General
freight is coming, and will continue to
come from lone until the road is COM
pleted to Martell's.
From converse tion had with an
employe of the road we are told that
the notice served in the shape OF
memorandum on jackson and Sutter
Greek, asking 500. 600 from each town
as the price of bringing the road to
those towns, and the notifications of
this demand subsequently made, were
not sanctioned by the fna ncial hackers
of the enterprise. 1t is now freely ad-
mitted that this request, by whomso-
ever made, was mistake. And the
statement is further made that when
the terminus reaches Martell's, and the
company is prepared to extend to jack
son, the townspeople will have no cause
for complaint at the terms upon which
this extension will be made

MINING NEWS.

gotlations are now pending whereby
this mine will soon change hands and
open up with large FORGE of men. The
2O-stamp mill will be run to it's fullest
capacity. Further information will be
given out within a few days.
ZEILA.-Sinking operations at this
mine are finished. The taking out of
ore will be resumed at once, and the
starting up of the mill is question of
only few days. Ore will be supplied
from the old levels. The new hoist is
making slow progress, although this
will not interfere with the resumption
of active mining.
The Allaine Orr mine three-quarters
of mile north of Plymouth, is being
opened up by company of local men.
These men have received assurances
from capitalists below that if certain
showings can be made they will take
the property at a good figure Joe
Datson, one of the principal promoters,
in speaking of the showing already
made, said it was far beyond their ex-
pectations. Disinterested parties who
have examined the mine tell us that 1t
is one of the very best prospects in the
Plymouth mining district. The pro-
moters are all worthy and reliable men,
and we will look forward with interest
for future developments.
BUNKER HILL.-R. G. Downs, who
has been experimenting operations at
this mine for several years, sent In his
resignation as superintendent last week.
AT meeting of the directors Satur-
day, the same was accepted, and E. H.
Harrington of Jackson, for many years
secretary and assayer at the Kennedy,
was appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr..
Harrington will assume the duties of
his position in q few days. Mr.. Har-
rington does not intend to move his
family from Jackson at present. The
Bunker Hill has, we understand, been
although it has not paid a dividend.
The stock has cost the subscribers in
the neighborhood of S1.40 per share.
The outlook of the mine is regarded as
promising by experts.
GwIN.-This property, according to
all Indications at present, is entering
upon new career of prosperity. The
sOGth drift at the 2100 foot level has de-
veloped an ore body % feet in width,
the ore shoot having a longth of 234
feet. 1t Is of unusually high grade for
the Gwin mine. This is like finding a
new mine. Coming at this juncture in
the mines affairs, this development
infuses new life into the company. The
mill has not been started on this newly
developed ore body. 1t is confidently
predicted that the era of dividends.
which made this property for several
years the most productive on the
mother lode of this region, will again
dawn at an early day.
