Two PlumaS County Deals
A Salt Lake syndicate, represented
by Colonel Camp and Grant Snyder
have closed a deal whereby they took
over the Gold Stripe mine on Wolf
creek near Greenville under a bond
agreement. They also closed deal
with Angus Cameron for the Cameron
gravel property on North Fork below
Seneca
The two deals are undoubtedly to be
followed by others, and actual opera
tions on the properties mentioned are
expected to begin within the next
month The syndicate has nearly a
billion dollars back of it. and is buy
ing mines in all parts of the western
gold country
The Gold Stripe is in rich territory
and is on the same vein the old Gold
Stripe located In the old mine some
rich quartz was found good deal
of picture ore has been produced from
the Wolf creek group, of which the
Gold Stripe Is one of the richest claims
The Cameron mine has produced con-
siderable gold during its history and it
is expected the new owners will put a
large force Of men to work drifting

New Amador Find
1t is reported that the east drift on
the 500 level of the South Jackson
mine, just south of the Zeila property.
In the ,Amador district, has at last en-
countered ore, and what makes the
md OF even more than usual interest is
the fact that the management had de-
cided to decrease the working force
and had laid off six or seven men on
the very day the discovery was made
The company has spent quite a large
sum of money in drifting both east and

that the ore now opened up will prove
suf1ciently valuable to make a success
OF this mining venture
At any rate, it is certain to encour-
age the company to continue its pros
pectlng to determine the size and quail
ity of the vein, which many believe Is
the east ore body worked on in the
Zeila~ a success at this mine at the
present time would be of great impor-
tance to the section in general, partic-
ularly to the old Zeila mine, whose
stock holders are becoming liscour-
aged at the heavy outlay now facing
them. The difficulty is that the large
ore body in the northern part of their
workings is so far from the shaft that
s the cost of transportation would leave
no margin of profit, and the company
does not feel disposed to go to the ex
pense Of sinking a new shaft nearer the
ore body.7Sacramento Union

The Atlas at Tuttletown which was
closed down for short time pending
negotiations with its owners and since
purchased and started up again by 7
L. whitney of this county, is looking
better than ever. This weeks CLEANUP
showed fine results and the new owner
is confident that the Atlas will siphold
the reputation of Tuolumne county as
a gold producer for some time to come
a rich find of copper has been dis
covered on the Williams ranch near
knights Ferry. The assays made give
large percentage of copper and also
show the ore to contain gold, silver and
zinc
At the Humbug mine on Table noun
tain, famous for its former rich pockets
and ancient river bed of golden wealth
good paying gravel has been struck.
At this time the value of the strike can
not be estimated. but it is very prom

s344S per ton the freight and smelter
charges being $I2 per ton. This ship
ment was from the Sunny Side mine,
and carried copper as high as % per
cent and gold up to $40 per ton. The
mineral bearing Lodges of the Meadow
Lake county are of great extent and
when some cheap and effective method
of working the ore is found it will
make Meadow Lake one of the greatest
mining camps in the state. Mrs. Wy
