There was considerable excitement in
the mining circles of Marysville re-
Gently over the news of strike of
unusual size and value near that place
and not far from the Indiana mine.
Edward T. Page is the lucky pros
pector who took $3.50 in gold out of
a hole not more than eight feet, deep.
What caused the greatest stir was
the fact that several citizens of MaryS
Vile had an opportunity to purchase a
half interest in the mine as late last
Saturday and let the chance of their
lives for a small fortune pass from
them.
Ed Page. after finding the prospect,
found traces Of the gold and brought
vile in an effort to find some one who
would stake him in what is known
among miners as grub stake"
Failing to get one. Page determined
needed coin and went back to his pros
pect hole. He >baled out the water and
sunk his shaft two feet deeper WREN
his pick uncovered nest of golden
nuggets.-Sacramento Union.

was in the neighborhood of 40 pounds

in the mill on the plates and in the
battery, and the concentrates Will easily
be worth $4,000 more. a total Of at

Fine FruitvaIe Ore
A ledge six feet wide. with values of
81, 900 in gold per ton on an average
clear across the ledge, is the remark
able showing made in the Fruitvale
mine near Moores Flat That is accord
ing to the information furnished by
Andrew Fitzgerald, superintendent, as
per advices received by him from V. II.
Campbell of Oakland, president of the
Andy Fitz mining and milling company,
owning the mine.
Campbell visited the property few
weeks ago, and sampled the quartz
thoroughly. He had a number of assays
made by the bay cities assayers, and
the returns have exceeded the most
say went SIS per ton in gold. The sui
phuretted ore gave values of $3,460 per
ton in gold. The average of them all,
giving an intelligent and comprehensive
idea of the value in the ledge between
walls is SO ounces of gold per ton.
These returns have astonished not
only the owners of the mine, but the
miners of the locality, and all are of
the opinion that the F'ruitvale is likely
to prove as great bonanza as the
mines have proven, in the way of ton
mage and high value output.-Nevada
