Finding a solid bedrock seventy-tive feet below the bottom of the Feather river at Intake, the Great Western Power Company borers found quartz that ran almost pure gold. The gold was so apparent that it created wild excitement among the Greek em- ployees of the power company and it was only when ordered several times that the laborers quit trying to save pieces to attend to the work at hand.
 The company has been going down into the bowels of the river bed in order to reach a substantial bedrock that would act as foundation for the great wall of concrete which the con- pany is to raise.
 The foundation has been a success and the rich ore will be used in the foundation. No mining will be al- lowed by the company for it has mil lions invested in the power system and that is more valuable than uncovering a mine.-Oroville Mercury.

A sensation was created in mining circles in the Hoag this week, when a rich vein was opened up at the Moun- tain View Mine that bids fair to eclipse anything found in the camp.
 At depth of about 135 feet the miners uncovered fine vein of ore which shows sixteen inches of rich pay rock, while the entire face of the tun- nel is streaked with the precious metal the entire face estimated to average not less than 365S to the ton. The vein is a continuation of the pay streak that the miners have been following for some time, mention of which was made in the Nugget several weeks ago, and is located in the east drift, upper level of the mine. Those who have seen the ore taken from the vein claim that it is the highest grade ore so far extracted in the Hoag district Bidwell Nugget.

Douglas and Associates Buy Rich
 Properties.

Tucson dispatches announce that Walter Douglas, E. Grehn and E. Saw yer of Bisbee closed a deal for the Geisman, Leatherwood and Billy Reed mining properties in the Santa Cata- linas Is a current rumor. It is known that they have been on a deal for these properties tor some time.
 The properties mentioned comprise valuable group about forty miles from Tucson. It is known that Doug las and OIner representative of the Copper Queen company have had a deal pending for these mines, and It Is understood that Friday was the day fixed as the date for the closing of the deal.
 However, the departure of Douglas and his associates gives rise to the be- lief that the deal was consumaJed on the previous day.
 If the Copper Queen company mas really taken an option on the proper ties near here, or closed a deal for their transfer, Tucson need have no more uneasiness about the E. P. X S. w. coming here. The road, which Is owned by the people who operate the Copper Queen mines, would certainly select a route that would tap its own niles, and even if the Wlnkleman properties should draw an extension to the north, there would also be expected another one to the west, tapping the new acquisition, anG then Tucson.

IS FIRE STRICKEN
RESIDENTS RESoRTED TO DYNA.
MITE TO CLEAR PATH OF FOOD

The little city of Springer was Wis
tied by a fire Friday night that cost
that town ten thousand dollars, Be
tween the hours of seven and eight in
the evening fire from some unknown
cause broke out in the postoffice
building. The building was quickly
consumed and the government lost
some property. 1t is said that more
than $50 licked up by the flames,
money that had been received for the
sale of stamps. d. p. Mcdowell, the
postmaster, had in the office a cold
drink stand. All the fixtures We're

was protected with no insurance. The
fire quickly spread to the blacksmith
shop of Kuntz Bros, and 1t too was
totally destroyed with no insurance.
The general merchandise store of d.
NJ. Sellers & Company was destroyed,
together with their stock of goods.
Over the Sellers Company store was
the hall occupied by the Masons, Odd
Fellows and Woodmen. All their para
phernalia was destroyed. The build
ing belonged to the w. o. w. Com
pany and Robt. F, Scivally owned the
majority of the shares. He was also
a member of the Sellers mercantile
firm. Mr.. Scivally had built a fifty
foot addition to the building upon
which there was no insurance. Se.-
lers & Co.. carried a $4,000 stock and
1900 insurance. The Woodmen had
$500 insurance.
The flames threatened to sweep
clean the south side of Main street.
The fire, famed by the wind, was
making great headway and the fire
fighters resorted to dynamiting the
Eskew store. The store was razed
to the ground, the debris was removed
and the path of the fire was stopped
