to continue development work. 1t is said
$50 tons of ore are taken from the mines
about every day. The lowest of this runs

his contract giving him the right In each
instance to drift from fifty to 100 foot
levels. He is to own all the ore removed
the net proceeds from its sale to be ap-
piled on the purchase price. Under the
terms of both options no stoping Is al

The Temple and Arbuck.e mine on Su-
gar creek, Siskiyou county, and known
as the Madeline Kicks, has shown so well
that exterior developments have been be-
gun. A wagon road has been built to the
property and negotiations are being made
for the erection OF ten-stamp mill. Ac-
cording to the Scott Valley Advance. a
tunnel 100 feet below the original shaft
shows ore assaying sS5 per ton.
p. E. Bray of Santa Clara has pur-
chased an interest in the Kiser & sey-
mour quicksilver mines on Clear creek,
in the Hernandez. A number of men will
be put at work in the near future devel-
oping the mines, which give promise Oh
being good producers.
L. E. Barron of the Tri-State Develop
ment company which has large holdings
In the sections indicated by the name
title, has, according TO an interview In
the Wall Street Bulls and Bears, pro-
ject in hand for a big emelter at COTS,
Cal.
A New Railroad
Work has been begun on railroad to
| the Go.insky copper mine, near Kennel,
| over rough mountain. The work was
started as the result of dispatches asking
that it be rushed to allow the shipping
of ore within thirty days The Golinsky
mine is reported by the Searchlight to
contain the highest grade copper in Shasta
county. The mine is adjacent to the
Mammoth mine.
| A strike of more than ordinary i'm
portance has been made at the Spring
! Gulch mine, operated by the Spring Hill
| Mining company, which A. L. Harlow
successfully financed.
! The new body of ore was uncovered on
| the footwall at the 250-foot level. The
ore is of remarkable richness.
| From the 400-foot level to the surface
| the hanging wall vein has been ex-
tracted and yielded large returns. The
present indications warrant the BELIEF that
the footwall vein will prove as good as.
| If not better than, the ore taken out from
the opposite side.
! Development work is being aggressively
prosecuted. The shaft has reached a
depth OF 575 feet and sinking will be con-
tinued indefinitely. At the 300 and 400
levels crosscuts are being driven toward
| the footwall and in the drifts men are en-
gagged in driving the adits ahead.
The mill, which has a capacity of ten
tons daily, is in operation night and day,
| pounding out the yellow metal from good
grade ore.
1t IS the intention of the company to
erect twenty-stamp mill on the prop
erty just as soon as arrangements car be
made for the electric power.
Tungsten in Quantity
1t is not generally known that tungsten
has been found in large quantities in San
Bernardino county, but such is a fact
The Atolia group, near johannesburg, In
this county, is exclusively tungsten
proposition, and is proving richer than a
gold mine. 1t was at that mine that
