RICH QUARTZ FOUND
 IN OLD JUPITER MINE

PORTOLA, Cal, May 2 (by As sociated Press)-Gold quartz once more is being taken from the Jupiter mine, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains near here. According to recently discovered records the Jupit- CT was discovered by missionaries years ago and was operated for some time before it was closed down.
 After long period of idleness, the paystreak in the mine was rediscover- ed accidently about three years ago and a modern reduction plant installed. The first clean up of the new plant, which was made recently, showed the gold ore to be as rich as it was when the mine was first operated.
 According to Superintendent J. G1I man, who has traced the history of the mine, party of missionaries camp ed on the site in the early days of Cal, ifornia and in enlarging a spring to procure water discovered the gold bearing ledge.
