Hoag District

F1oag District
The Hoag mining district is at last
receiving the attention of the class of
men that prove the worth of a camp
taken in the last week that leave the
impression that something Will be do
ing in the line of shipping bullion in
leases taken are the Sunset. Big Four
and White Quartz. James Wall and
others have taken a long term lease
on the Sunset, full details of which
have not as yet been obtained. 1t is
fact, however, that the leasers will
begin operations at once and pro-
gressive mining proposition pressed to
the limit. The property is shipper. as
was proven two years ago.
Broaddus & Dunnavin have taken

in the White. Quartz. lease and the
latter two gentlemen have a lease on
the Big Four mine. Both of these
properties are shippers, as was demon

The uncovering of enormously large
bodies of extremely rich ore on these
properties and the establishing beyond
doubt that there is no limit to the
quantity has created truly and Wei

men.-Fort Bidwell Gold Nugget.
Kate Hardy Riches
The Kate Hardy mine at Forest. ST.
ezra county, is coming into prominence
as q producer of gold. Some excellent
ore has been taken from the vein in
times past, but in the early part of this
week, according to telephonic mes
sage received al this office recently, ore
that excels anything ever found there
was discovered. A chute of rich rock
caused the miners of Forest to sit up
and take notice. Some of the ore was
decomposed and easily worked in
pan. This ore was put in q pan and
produced $50 to each pan. After they
had worked the rich part of the vein
for some time the miners broke into
the hard quartz and broke off some of
the rock. 1t was literally filed with
gold. One pan containing 20 pounds of
ore gave returns of SIS. The indica-
tions are that the chute will continue
and there is much qualification at For
est among the miners and businessmen
over the discovery. The Kate Hardy is
owned chiefly by Tyler Dudley of San
and ]. w. Morrel of Boston.-Nevada

Allegheny Activities
While there is not being a great deal
said about the Allegheny district there
are, nevertheless, more men working
there than in any other district in
Sierra county. AT the same time more
claims are in the process of Develop
ment than anywhere in the upper coun-
try. The town is receiving for labor
and supplies the sum of $4,000 per
month, so some idea can be obtained
of the. amount Of prospecting being
done there.
It is doubtful whether there is any
other district in all of California where
opment within such a comparatively
small area. Most of the properties are
within a radius of three miles Of Alle-
ghany. and a large number of claims
are also being opened up by the indi-
vidual owners themselves on their own
muscle.
The Croesus, Rainbow and Bear
Creek mines keep their mills going and
are making regular shipments of gold
bullion. Important development is go
ing on all over the district, all along
Kanaka creek and on the Middle Yuba
river slopes. The latter section is
rapidly growing in Importance, the ac-
tivities around Plumbago and Minne-
sofa being much greater than in many
years. and some big mines are evidently
coming to the front. With q ledge
seven feet wide, when cut at a depth
of $50 feet, and all the quartz between
the wall said to run $1,000 in gold to
the ton, it seems certain that one of
the biggest quartz mines in northern
California exists in the Fruitvale Then
there is the Middle Yuba claim, which
shows an ore of base metal and free
