News From Camps

Local mining men who are interested
in mining in Northern California have
been informed that the rich ore chute
in the Rainbow mine near Allegheny,
Sierra county, has again been found.
on Kanaka creek about twenty years
ago in this mine one small bunch of
ore taken from the shaft yielded $685.
900. and at various other times bonan-
zas of greater or less magnitude have
been developed. 1t Is claimed that
most of the gold taken out has been put
back in again in the search for more.
Be this as 1t may. James Clinton and
the late Charles Hegarty of Moores
Flat spent a good deal of money in
prospecting the ground after James
Groves one of the original owners, had
made vain effort to make fortune
and had died disheartened and practic-
ally broke. Clinton, backed and en-
couraged by II. II. Noble, for long
time the principal owner, has stayed
with the property, confident that he
would eventually find the continuation
of the pay chute. A long and deep tun-
mel has been driven and it is in this
tunnel the new discovery is said to
have come to light.
Mdos Mine Hoist
According to information from Red
ding. Cal, the new hoist for the Midas
mine is about to be installed. The plant
is of fve-ton capacity and an up-to-
date plant. 1t was manufactured in
san Francisco expressly for the Midas.
The new hoist will replace the one now
in use and the old plant will be placed
on the 700 level.
Working DonIey GuIch
Under the direction of w. ]. Covoae
development work on the Donley
AGulch mine near Deadwood, Trinity
county. is being rushed, in spite of the
inclement weather.
A boarding house is in course of
construction and as soon as it is COM
pleted a crew of men will be put to
work sinking a new shaft
There is already one shaft sunk on
this property, but the ore has been
worked for a considerable distance
from the shaft, and seems to dip away.
so it was deemed best to sink again.
~. utah,s. Metal Output $3.50
In speaking of the actual output OF
Utah for 1904 the Salt Lake Tribune
says the most striking feature Of the
1t. Ali af he
astounding increase in the production
of copper, nor was it until the last
quarter Of the year that the copper
producers were permitted to assert the
tonnages of which their mines are ca
pable. The increase in the crop of
gold, outstanding the decadence of
soy lie camps that were formerly
ductive of that metal, is a
weli-y ned one, while the output of
lead overwhelmed the most liberal pre-
diction and exceeded all previous rec
ords.
Th story of the present year is easily
foretold. Not a record established in
1904 but will succumb to that which
shall follow it's close The most con-
spicuous gain will undoubtedly be in
the OUTPUT of copper, and copper is
king. To that end the sinews have
been provided at the mills and fur
naces; nature has supplied the bal
ance.
