Miner Hit by Blast

Michael Pariscich. employed at the
Zeila mine, met with an accident on
Monday evening about o'clock that
nearly proved fatal to the miner.
A blast was set off in the mine, and
the miner for some reason as yet un-
explained failed to run to safety, and
as result, was struck by the blasted
rock and nearly killed. His side was
literally peppered with fine rock, and
his left leg badly cut and bruised. DR..
Gall is treating the patient and says
he is confident the man will recover
but it will be some time before he can
resume his duties at the mine. Paris
cich is boarding with Mrs Lepava,
near the Jackson brewery. He com
plains of suffering considerable pain.

Concert Saturday

The Jackson Military band gave an
open air concert last Saturday evening
on the porch of Loves hall, which
was greatly enjoyed. Prof. A. S.
Moore, the new bandmaster, who came
here from Berkeley, was head musician
and brought out fine program in a
very satisfactory manner. Moore
seems to be in earnest as far as his
band work goes and it remains with
the individual players if first class
organization is to be counted on.
Jackson needs good band, and there
is positively enough demand for it to
put it on good financial basis, under
proper management. The open air
concerts will continue regularly in the
future.
Saturday evening next the city will
be treated to a concert of an ex-
ceptional character. The new band
leader is deterr ined that everything
in his power will be done to make the
band creditable organization, and
one that Jackson will have a right to
feel proud of. The following program
has been arranged and will be ren
dered at the concert:

MINE NEWS
ALONG LODE
Interesting Accounts of
Mines Located In
AmadOr Co.
Climax


DR.. Aitken, who has control of this
property, situated a mile or so south
of Pine Grove, has interested a
number of Eastern capitalists in the
mine, and expects to secure IT'S de
velopment on an extensive scale. The
doctor has spent years on this mine,
and has great faith in its future. He
realizes that the only way to test its
value is to sink to considerable
depth, and demonstrate by actual
mining whether or not the gold bearing
veins of this belt reach far down into
the earth. AS far as developed the
mine shows strong ore body, several
hundred feet in length, and carrying
pay values. He proposes to get com
pany to sink the shaft to depth of
1000 feet. The indications point to a
well-de6ned fissured vein, with gouge
and smooth walls. The gold bearing
character of the quartz is abundantly
proven by the work that has been done
here in the past. The one point that
remains to be decided is whether the
gold bearing ore continues to such a
depth as will command the attention
of capitalists who operate on a large
scale. There are a series of mines
along this east belt, which would no
doubt be stimulated into activity by
the opening of the Climax at depth,
DR.. Aitken went to San Francisco
Sunday on business connected with
this mine. He hopes to organize a
company prepared to spend $100, 900 in
equipment and developing the mine to
a depth of 1000 feet.
Dane Mitchell
We understand this mine near Pine
Grove has come to temporary stand
still. Considerable money has been
expended on the surface, but no effort
has been made to explore the property
at greater depth. Two hundred feet is
the extent to which the mine has been
prospected. 1t is mere scratching
of the surface, and leaves the probe m
of good paying mine still undeter~
mined. The superintendent left for
the city early this week and hopes to
induce those behind this mining ven
ture to furnish capital to sink several
hundred feet deeper.
Central Eureka
A strike of rich ore was encountered
in this mine early this week. A small
seams of bonanza rock was discovered
in the 1900 foot level. How extensive
it is cannot be told, but it may lead to
important developments. The stock
has materially stiffened in price. 1t
was quoted at 65c before the strike;
now it cannot be had for less than 81.
