is UNPRECEDENTED

i
From this it is made to appear that
the jump of $S,000,000 in 1907. as com
pared with the year Immediately pre-
ceding, was unprecedented Therefore.
1t is not unnatural that the present
mining stir should take place
From exchanges published in the
mining counties of California and from
other sources facts are gathered for
this issue that are illustrative of the
general hopefuK spirit that is mani
Tested.
One of the most important mining
deals ever negotiated in the northern
part of Sierra county. so says the
Grass Valley Union, has just been con-
cluded. By this two and a half miles
on the east side of the Scales-Port
Wine ridge has been bonded to a San
Francisco company. The land was op-
Grated formerly by the hydraulic pro
cess In addition to this deal the
Excelsior ground on the west side of
the same ridge has been bonded to
company from the southern part of the
state. The Downieville Messenger says
of the region:
In early days much placer ground was worked
on Slate creek from a point near Gibsonville
up to and including what is known the
North America mine. These deposits were known
as the front channel" and in most instances
were very rich. BY some these gravels were

DEVELOP OLD MINE
The Amador Ledger says that the
prospects of the old ArgOna-t mine in
Amador county have Frightened. and
makes the following statement:
The outlook for this mine has improved so
much within month that the management has
withdrawn from the arrangement to deed to the

Mines OF California Break
All Former Records
Fifty-Five Millions of Dollars Taken From the
Ground During Last Twelve Months

There is an unusual amount of activ-
1ty in connection with the mining in
dustry in California. News is received
OF developments in prospect for GER
tain gold properties. The report fur
nished by the California state mining
bureau for 1907, in which it was shown
that the mineral production of 1907 in
this state exceeded the total produc-
ton of California for the preceding
year by more than $4,000 900, is taken
py the mining papers of the state gen
orally to be Of Importance as a prime
means for advertising the mines
throughout the world. There has not
been, such a jump In annual production
In many years. The total for 1907
Is reported to be $55.597 ,949. Taking
the annual returns for series of quite
recent years shows the way to under
standing what the figures SIS, 1897 949
mean to this state.
The fact Is that the 1907 total is
the present elimination of an era of
progress In mineral way, and it is not
the nnai high water mark for the i'm
mediate future, unless all signs are de-
ceptlve. A discussion has already arisen
among the papers of this state as to
whether the gold production of Cali
iornla In 1907 was not greater than II
mas been reported by the United States
geological survey to have been. This
ooupt has been expressed editorially in
papers published in Sacramento and Ne
vada counties. All the gold and sill
yer returns that have been published
were derived from a report sent out
oy the United States geological survey
Tor the year 1907. As a matter of fact
the gold returns have been collected
py the survey before and never by
the California state mining bureau.
Whether all the gold rrodrction oS
ISo' mas been reported or not, the great
advance in mineral production in the
state as whole has created a degree
OF enthusiasm on all sides that will
nave, and probably is already having.
an erect on prospective operations.
VALUE is $6OS, ,173,s92
For purposes Of comparison and that
the outside world may have an accurate
view or mineral progress in California
since 1887, figures for period of 21
years. compiled by the California state
mineralogist, are given herewith. 1t
appears from the incarnation promul-
gated officially, that, in 21 years. the
mines, oil wells and quarries of this
state have produced for market and
nave actually marketed, the great val
ue of $60S,173,S92, of which the gold
represents s321.13S,976, or approxt-
mately $13.000,00o more than half of
the whole. The petroleum output in
the same Fl years, beginning with 1887
and ending with 1907, amounted. in es-
timated value. to $77.72S,S6o, or about
a fourth as much as the gold total
product for the period Here are the
ngures for the total production of Cali

ARE HAILED INTO COURT
Accused of Violating INDUCTION
Prohibition Carrying on Boy

C8y Morning journal Special Leased Wlre.l
Washington, d. c.. July 20.-In the
Buck Stove and Range company case,
Justice Anderson of the district SUI
preme court today summoned Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor; Secretary Frank
Morrison of that organization and
John Mitchell, of the executive coun-
ell and former president of the Uni
ted Mine Workers Of America, to ap-
pear in court on September 8 next to
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt of the courts
injunctive order.
The citation is based on a petition
of the Buck Stove and Range COM
pany of St Louis which alleges that
an order issued BY Justice Gould for
ulddiftg national boycott by the Am
erican Federation of Labos has been
violated by the public utterances and
addresses of the three labor leaders
named. 1t also Is stated that Com
pers caused to be published in the
Federationist the official organ of the
Federation, a certain article rejecting
on the courts decision and In alleged
open defiance printing the name OF
the Buck Stove and Range company
in the I'VE Don't Patronize" list,
Gompers is quoted as saying to sew
eral newspaper men:
Insofar as | am concerned. | wish
to state this:
"When it comes to a choice between
surrendering my rights as a free Am
erican citizen or violating the lnjunc-
tion of the court | do not hesitate TO

between the two"
Other utterances are quoted In IT,
1t is alleged Gompers and Morrison
in furtherance of an alleged plan to

cles offensive to the courts decision
