Oak Flat Gravel
Frank T. Smith and w H. Landri-
gan, who spent a couple of days at
the Oak Flat gravel mine, four miles
above Columbia hill, on Grizzly Ridge,
report that the gravel channel has been
encountered in an upraise 40 feet from
the main tunnel, which is in a distance
of 200 feet
Where the gravel was found it is
mixed with lava and is high in the rim.
The bedrock is pitching into the ridge,
so ii has been decided to extend the
tunnel ahead and upraise later on,
when it is expected to tap the pay
streak short distance above the main
bore.
The gravel in the rim shows some
gold and is considered a good pros
pect. Local people are CARRYING on
the operations in the Oak Flat and
are greatly encouraged over the latest
developments. They have reason to
feel that good piece~'ef property is
being opened up, as the gravels in that
vicinity have always proved profitable.

The Clipper group has also shown ore
In paying quantities, and promises to
become one OF the steady shippers.
A force of men has been placed at
work in the Uncle Sam, one of the old
est gold mines in the county, with the
hope of striking rich chimney of ore
believed to exist.
Rich deposits have been found in the
claims of the Shasta copper and gold
mining company, and a small force is
at work paving the way for greater
development work IN the near future
There is almost an unlimited supply
of ore in sight, but the company has
not yet perfected its patent to the
ground, and will be unable to begin
taking out the ore until the property is
secured.
Over.100 tons of ore, averaging s24
in gold to the ton. are ready for ship
ment from the new Monarch mine, on
the west side of the river. The mine
is owned by Trask & Spencer. and Is
the newest in this section. While the
ore shows gold in paying quantities,
there is but small trace of copper.
This is in direct contrast to the mines
on the west side of the river. where the
copper is heavy. but traces of gold and
silver are slight. Under present work
ing conditions, the Monarch will be in
position to ship soon, and the workings
have been developed TO the point where
one man can easily stope two tons of
ore daily.--Sacramento Union.

MANACLED PRISONER
COULDN'T REACH COIN
Court Sees Experiment on AL
legged Attempted Briber

Peter Bravas, accused of attempting
to bribe Policeman Ritter not to arrest
him for cruelty to animals, was called
upon to demonstrate his defense in a
peculiar manner by Judge ShortalI
yesterday. Ritter said that after hand
cutting Bravas he mounted his horse
and made his prisoner trudge beside
him. Before the station was reached
Ritter said Bravas took a SIS goldpiece
from his hip pocket and rendered it
to the policeman for his freedom.
Attorney Walter Gallagher said that
it would be impossible for Bravas to
take the money from his pocket hand
cuffed. The officer, at the suggestion
of the court, placed iron on Bravas'
wrists. Bravas was unable to extract
a coin from his pocket.
Ritter then said that the money was
in long purse which protruded from
Bravas' pocket and that he pulled out
the purse and took the money from it
The case was continued.

Rich Ore in Clermont

During the last few days there has
been a most gratifying renewal of eX-
cellent developments in the 1000 level
OF the Clermont workings in the south
part of the Mohawk ground and Gen
eral Manager Finlay states that the ore
thus far taken from the new find has
averaged nearly $50 ton by mine sam
pies. Some of the ore. however, IS
much higher grade, running about so
ounces gold per ton. Developments
show ore for length of so feet and
width of 90 feet at one place In an
other portion of the workings the same
ore shoot is now being penetrated with
excellent results, but development has
not proceeded far enough to warrant
SAYING much except that it is crafty
ing to find such a high grade ore body,
especially a this depth. which more
than ever confirms the persistency of
rich values to the greatest depth yet
attained by the Consolidated workings
The ore appears to be of a very good
milling character. as it consists largely
of free gold and pyrites in quartz, with
only a small amount of the black sui
phides of bismuth. antimony and copper
that have been abundant in other high
grade ores, particularly those of the
Hampton stope on the Combination.E
