The deputy city marshal, G. M.
Huberty, this morning notified the
occupants of all business property on
Main street, the show windows of
which project into the side walk,
that such projections must be re
moved. 1t is said that an ordinance
has been prepared to that effect.
There is considerable objection to
such requirement. In some cases
it will require the removal of iron
shutters, thereby reducing the fire
protection. The ordinance has not
been passed, and the notification is
merely preliminary.

ated in the mines of this county for

MINING NOTES.

Gold lop.-A cleanup for the sea
sons run was made at this gravel
mine at Pine Grove last week. The
mine is better known as the Wheeler
placer claim, and is located partly
within the townsite. The amount of
gold recovered by the cleanup was
not large, said to be something over
$1,000. Some coarse gold was picked
up from the bedrock in the process of
hydraulicing. The yield is not sutIi-
eient to leave any profit. j. BATE,
the superintendent, left Saturday
morning for the city. He says opera
tions will be resumed as soon as the
water supply is again available.
Defender B. Joyce, principal
owner of this quartz mine, was in
town this week, and reports that
fine body of ore has been encountered
in the 200 foot level, running north.
The ledge Is from IS inches to . feet
in width, and is said to carry values
from 500 to $50 per ton. The mill
has not been started on this rock SO
far, bat is idle at present. The last
run was made on mixture of quartz
and granite, encountered in the form
of horse. and did not yield we'll.
This was not unexpected, but the
rock had to be got out anyway, and
to mill it was better than to let it
go to the waste dump. Mr. Joyce is
elated over the enhanced outlook
incident to this latest Improvement
IN ore.
Wildman- Mahoney. w. j. Morphy,
wealthy mining man of Chicago,
is reported to have bought the Wild
man Mahoney, and allied mines. He
has been in Sutter Greek with John
Mcintyre, for several days in this be-
halt. Experts went through the
underground works some time ago,
and their report was sufficiently
favorable to lead him to become the
purchaser. He has made arrange
ments to pay off the Indebtedness, if
a reasonable compromise can be
effected with the claimants. The pur-
chase Will take in adjacent mining
ground, and he is prepared to work
on an extensive scale, such as the vast
ore deposit demands. Sutter Greek
people feel iubilant over the expected
early resumption of operations on
this property.
Ths New Idea Club intends to give
an entertainment about August IT,
The character of the entertainment
Will be announced IN next issue.
A miner named Bruzie had
miraculous escape from serious, it
not fatal injury, last Saturday while
working in the Kennedy mine. He
was employed in one of the Slopes,
and fell a distance of seventy five

more serious injuries than sprained
ankle, and few scratches. He will
be laid up few days. He considers
himself the luckiest of mortals to get
off as easily as he did. He is under
