DEEP MINING STARTED
Transaction at Grass Valley Com
prises Colorado and Eastern Cap
itaI, involving over $4,000
Paid to Owners

GRASS VALLEY, March 27.-No
mining deal in recent years ranks in
greater Importance III this part OF lie
county than that just consummated by
G. M. Wilson and associates, who have
taken a working bond on the we'll
known Cassidy claims between the
Empire and the Pennsylvania Mining
company's properties Walsh, the mill
lionaire Colorado mining man, is one
of the powers behind the throne in the
deal and all the men interested are
capable Colorado and eastern capital
is interested and the intention is to
sink 1000 feet, drift and stope, after
erecting n suitable plant
The terms of the bond are ironclad
and have not all been made public but
it is known that for years Mr.. Cassidy,
a pioneer of the district, has refused
offers time and again for his property,
asking a goodly sum ranging up to
SIS 900. The Cassidy Consolidated Gold
Mining company is the name of the
new concern, of which c. M. Wilson,
principal owner of the Fairview, above
Nevada city, is president. Mr.. Wilson
Is now in san Francisco in connection
with the big deal
BY the terms of the bond active work
must start within sixty days and a
certain amount of development work
must be performed every month. The
interested parties made a careful in
vestigation of the property before sign
ing up, but after making a most ex-
haustive examination informed Mr.
Cassidy that they wanted the bond
made water-tight, as they intended to
mine on large scale as soon as pos
sible.
Will Open Up a Mine
So far it has not been determined
whether electric or gasoline power will
be used in the operations, but it is the
intention of the operators to sink to a
depth of 1000 feet and thoroughly open
the ground. They are firm in the be-
lief that they will develop the Cassidy
property into a splendid dividend
payer.
The history of the property, consist
ing i'm the main of the O'Connor. Gill
roy. Linden and Happy Jack, proves
that the ground is rich. 1t lies in the
most inviting section i'm the entire dis
trct, with paying mines all around it.
On one ledge the company has 5000
feet of ledge and on another 1000 feet
has been traced. The property has new
er been worked below a depth of 200
feet, water causing the early miners
to give up, heavier pumping machinery
being necessary.
ore milling as high as $50 a load has
been taken from the ground and $40
rock was quite common when active
mining was under way. The Cassidy
claims were last worked to any extent
in the seventies, but the surface crop
pings are pronounced the most Valu-
able of any in this section at present.
According to statements, preliminary
operations should start within a week.

CAN SUIT THEMSELVES

Our contention, says the California
Oil World, has always been that the
big concerns could bring about what
they want, and frequently pretend ex
ists-that is, an overproduction, by Of
fering a fair price for crude. This con-.
tention is amply proved by recent his
tory. No sooner had the Standard let
it be known that it would buy oil of
above 20 degrees gravity at 65 cents
than there came in st. Lawrence,
Santa Fe Six. Eagle Creek, United,
California Midway, Mays, Pioneer
Midway, Honolulu, Ethel D., X. T. and

JOHN J. AHEARN NOT EXPECTED TO
 LIVE. OUT DAY

John J. Ahearn, letter carrier living at 631 Lafayette street, is dying at the Bridgeport hospita! this after noon following an operation at noon for perforation of the stomach. Ahearn's death is almost hourly ex- pected. His legion of friends were shocked to learn of his critical ill., ness, for yesterday he performed his regular routine of duties apparently in the enjoyment of his usual good health and invariably buoyant spirits.
 Late last evening MT Ahearn was stricken with violent pains. His fam fly physician, Dr. J. R. Topping, was summoned and advised Ahearn's re- 1nova1 to the hospital. At II o'clock this morning pr. Topping accom- panied the patient to the Bridgeport hospital, and promptly upon his ar rival an operation was performed
 It was found that the case was a1- most hopeless and Ahearn's relatives were at once summoned to his bed- side. It is feared that he cannot sur vive the afternoon. MT. Ahearn is a native of East Bridgeport. For many years he was prominent member and officer of St. Joseph's T. L. &z B. association, and one of the best known young men of East Bridgeport.
 MT Ahearn married the sister of David F. Donovan, the steward of Bridgeport E1ks Club several years ago.
