MINING NOTES

South Eureka. The additional 20
stamps to the mill were started last
Monday making forty stamps of their
own mill The mill has been con-
structed in every respect after the most
approved method, and works to a charm.
1t is reported that the last cleanup was
$3.50 and a dividend was paid of
three cents per share, making $1,000.
Besides making vast Improvements the
company has been accommodating a sur
plus, as provision against any emer-
gency. Everything about the mine is
looking prosperous. 1t is in fact one of
the big mines of Amador county, and
has forged to that position during the
past year. The stock is worth between
"a and $3.50 per share.
Mason Mine-A Jackson dispatch to
the Sacramento Bee dated February 2l,
has this to say of this mining claim,
situated near Clinton: The Mason
mine in this county, owned by Stockton
people, has Just been sold to Amador
capitalists. The Stockton owners are
Robert Boyce, Charles Newton, John
Perrott, James Perrott, George Godell,
DR.. S. E. Latta and the Woods brothers.
They owned the Mason mine about
twelve years, during a part of which
time it has been actively operated. A
mill, buildings and other equipment
form part of the property sold. The
entire acreage represented is about 100
acres. The mine is a gold producing
property and is considered banner in
vestment.
Original Amador-This mine at
Amador City which started its new 20
stamp mill only few weeks ago, has
been closed down temporarily owing ii
is said to some differences among the
managers. Rumor has it that the last
clean up was very satisfactory, amount
ing to over $40 600. Operations will
no doubt be in full swing again in
few days.
Argouaut-This company paid its
regular monthly dividend of five cents
per share on the 2lst, amounting to
$l0,0
Notwithstanding to current re-
port the new company now operating
this famous property at Amador City
made a very successful run last month,
cleaning up with its sixty stamp mill
over $40, 600 which leaves a handsome
margin over expenses. The ore is
coming from about the 1900 level
