assures within the Keystone property
are depleted of all payable ore, no
one who knows the property believes,
nor would any one familiar with the
Mother Lode of California be willing
to stake very much that such is the
case. The price at which the option
has been taken seems r1diculously
small as compared with the famous
record of the great old mine, or
when considering its immense possi-
bilities.
We hope vet to see the keystone re-
equipped and operated with large
profit under vigorous and accom-
plished management, for there is no
evidence in the world that the mine
is exhausted, nor anything approach
ing it. 1t is a notable fact that Hay
wards Eureka mine got into its
famous rich shoot of ore at a depth
approximately level with the deepest
workings of the Keystone mine,
while the Central Eureka adjoining
the former had no ore of consequence,
so far as known, within 1000 feet of
the surface. The possibilities OF
those great mines are best known to
those who are most familiar with
them. m.-American Mining journal.

HISTORY OF A GREAT MINE.

In the news columns, under the
head of California. may he noticed
an announcement to the effect that the
Keystone mine at Amador City, is
under option for the sum of 5000, 900,
with some minor details as to pay
ments. This is a very commonplace
statement such as may be read in the
columns of the mining journals and
the newspapers at almost any time,
but in this case, the simple statement
that sale has been made, tentatively
dependent presumably on the result
of further development-is of more
than ordinary interest, for the Key
stone has in years gone by been one
of California's most famous mines.
1t is situated at Amador City, ANA
dor county, and is on the great
Mother Lode. which strikes through
five counties of the state. 1t was one
of the early mines of Amador county
and had made good record OF pro-
duction in the sixties. 1t was first
opened in 1851 and was worked con-
tinuously, though for the first fifteen
years of its existence in a small way,
still it produced during that period
over S700,000 from ore averaging
mine produced largely, the output
having reached 8,400,0OO in 1886,
which amount has since been increas-
ed to over $4,000. 900. The mine has
probably no less han 80, 600 feet Of
development, which has been done on
five different veins. It's geology is an
interesting study to the college stud
ent and to the professional engineer
alike, for the Keystone vein-system,
while not complex nevertheless IN
voles a number Of nice points i'll
structural geology. Ordinarily these
fine points are of little moment, but
when they occur in association with
mine that has produced over Sl6,
000, 900 in gold they assume immediate
importance. A curious fact that may
be mentioned IN this connection is
that the greater part of this vast
amount of gold-more than twenty
six tons-came from above the GOO
foot level, although the workings of
the mine extend to a depth of 1915
feet at an inclination of about 60
degrees.
A little over mile to the South
ward Hayward's famous Eureka mine
was worked with large profit to
depth of 2l0O feet, producing over
S18, 900, 600 and the Kennedy mine,
two miles beyond. has produced
nearly $4,000, 900 and today the lower
levels are 5000 feet vertically below
the surface, and the mine is still one
OF the largest producers in the state
These facts indicate what great posi-
bilities lie in the improved depths of
the great Keystone mine, for the
veins are still intact in the lower
levels, though the ore is of low
grade, That the great system Of

Independent Candidate for Super

On Tuesday last j. Q, Horton filed
papers with the county clerk petition
ing for a place on the regular ballot
as an independent candidate for
supervisor in township two. There
were fourteen names of voters who
had taken no part in the nomination
of any other candidate for that office
appended to the petition, enough to
secure place on the ticket. The
new candidate has always trained
with the democrats heretofore. lie
was mentioned as a probable contest
ant for the nomination before the
democratic convention. Realizing
the hopelessness of his aspirations in
this directionn, he did not allow his
