chase the Lee Brothers quartz claim
on the ridge east of Sierra City. The
price named in the bond has not been
made public, but it is said to be quite
a sum. 1t will be remembered that
the Lee Brothers found this ledge a
couple of months ago and up to this
time are credited with taking out quite
a lot of gold, but how much no one
knows; They sunk a shaft down on
that is practically. all the work that
has been done. 1t is said that the vein
pans gold on. the surface freely. for
over 1000 feet north and south, which
is supposed to be the length of the
posed to be an extension of the Inde-
pendence vein, which is owned by the
Sierra Buttes company. Thompson In
tends to continue the shaft that was
started by the Lee brothers and hopes
to be able to reach depth of at least
200 feet before snow flies this winter.

Activities at Allegheny
The Middle Yuba hydro-electric
company is installing its transformers
at its substation near Allegheny and
expects to comence the delivery of
electric power to the camp about Oc-
tober /. Until the company has its
own plant on the Middle Yuba in com
the Bay Counties electric power COM
pany. AS soon as the wires reach the
various mines new era of develop
ment will be inaugurated. All the COM
panies have agreed to use power, as its
lack has been the principal obstacle
initiating against the rapid develop
ment of the Allegheny district.
Considerable trouble is again being
caused by claim jumpers, many of
whom are running their lines across
located properties and boldly declaring
their intentions to retain possession.
Owners are becoming alarmed and
prospects are for serious trouble.
The Tightner continues to extract
bonanza ore from the lower workings
and expects to ship more ore as soon as.
the shoot developed in the winze has
been intersected by the drift now ap-
preaching it from the lower adit. 1t is
also likely that a mill will be installed
early in the spring. At the Lookout
90 feet of ore is being opened and the
installation of a compressor is contem-
plated. AT the Omega the main adit
is being driven ahead steadily and dlarge
deposits of good grade gravel opened.
AS soon as the fall rains set in $50 men
will be put to work and the washing of
gravel on a large scale commenced. At
the Bear Creek steam power has been
introduced in the mill Steady ship
ments of bullion are being made. AT.
the North Fork the old incline adit is
being reopened and will be continued
to intersect the Uncle Sam vein.-Ex-
