The Chapman ranch is situated in a rich portion of the district, and some fine te have been made there. The main trouble experienced so far in getting it properly opened up has been a lack of working capital. . The Charonnat quartz claim in the Cafada Hill part of the district is s steady bullion producer, It’ now ranks as one of the most reliable fhines‘io' the township.’ ‘A full force of men is employed in the various than average richness. At the North Banner the various ledges are pitching toward eaeh other, with a prospect of uniting and making large: ‘deposits, The five stamps that the company recently added to the five already in are running and with geod results, The Merrifield chlorination works have been worked to their full capacity for five weeks past on rich sulphurets from that mine. Some of the other mines in that neighborhood are desirous to make arrangements for having their anicloret re duced there. 4 The 2,000 blocks washed out by the break in the flume of the Yuba Tunnel Mining Company daring the late freshet are being replaced, and the repairs will soon be made.” The water will then be turned through the tunnel and flumeagain. Several companies are. making preparations to work the bed of the South Yuba river at various points in this township. Over 100 men will soon be thus engaged within the limit: named, one sompany intending to give employment to as many as forty miners, This class of mining is con fined wostly to Chinese. Prospecting operations are being carried on at the Banner with a smal! force. Some work ‘is being done at the surface, and a drift is being run on the 120 level north If avy developments of a satisfactory nature are made the machinery wil) be started up again. The Hussey mine: in Willow Valley is to be incorporated soon. KEEPING THEIR EYES PEELED. ——— os The Spies of the Anti-Miners on the ‘Lockout—Drawinga Line. The Marysville Appeal claims to have beén advised that more or les hydraulic mining, in small way, has been prosecuted,'since the promulgation of the Sawyer decision, a! different places about Dutch Flat and’Gold Ron. . It says: ‘‘The AntiDebris Association is kept advised of all the facts, and knows all the violators of the laws, who, in -due time, wilt probably becalled upon to answer. Those mines that have been washing by the hydraulic process on New York.Flat have” recently suspended work from the fact that Superintendent Phelps of the Sovth Feather and Yuba Canal refused to furnish water so long as tailing: from these mines were being washed into the Honcut or through Dry Creek into the Yuba river near Brown’s Valley. It.is understood that the New York Flat miners are erecting dams to restrain their tailings. Their claims have a very slight grade and the Nevada Company insist that they can dam back all the debris from their mines, The Portuguese Company, above the Nevada Company, has also suspended of water. The New York Company, with a view to re-commencing work, are building an extensive rock dam in the cut through which their debtis formerly was washed into Dry Creek. The dam is expected to create a reservoir covering about seyen-' ty-five acres, and,.which the company expects will hold back tailings forsome.time. This dami is erected as an expedient on the part of the miriers and not by the consent or advice of apybody. The authority ie Judge Temple: There is no law against hydraulic miners building dams, but after they are built and in use the miners will be held reeponsible for ‘the flow of debris over them into any of the rivers. The decree of Judge Sawyer makes it unlawful to flow debris into the river channels, nomatter whether the sand bgoes over a dam into the river or is directly deposited without the interenjoined from filling and damaging the river channels, The experiment of dams can be fried at the risk’ of hydraulic miners, But if the dam does not bold ‘pack debris and prevent damage the miner will be ‘ened.” ee ip i ae ip large and fresh Seay of Field, ‘Garden and Flower Seeds at Carn Bros., . to tireand death, on until finally stopped before leav. * ed i over . THE je mavER i] A Pleneer, Miner of of Nevada County Joins the Silent Majority. Robert. -E, Ross died about aix o’clock last Monday moraing at his old home in Long Valley, in the State of Nevade. —-Typhoid-pneumonia was the cause of death, “le had ‘been passing the Winter on his fruit ranch, near Los Angeles, having sold his Long Valley home’ last Full. ‘The object of his visit at this time was to close up his business affairs in Long Valley, It was doubtless the sudden change” of climate and overwork at the ranch that brought on the fatal attack, De ceased leaves a wife, an adopted daughter now residing at Walla Walla, Washington Territory, and two brothers, Aloert E, Ross of Long, Valley and Dr, Ross, one.of the Faculty in the Chicago Medical College Mr. Ross was born in Clark county, Ohio, 54 years ago. In 1850 Mr: Ross, then in his—20th year, with his companion in youth, Elisha W. Mull,” now of Virginia, crossed the plains and, at once came to Sweet‘land, this county, where’ they” etiyaged in gravel mining. Iu 1852, at French Corral, General Evans, now of Reno, and the deceased, with bis friend Mull, formed a partaership and opened a hydraulic mine. which they continued to work until 1858 [t was during this ~period that mine jampers were tetrorizing the mining regions, Men armed to the teeth would organize and drive the true owners out and forcibly seize possessién, Such a gang visited French Corral, and attempted to terrorize Ross and his’ comrades; but met with such a warm reception that they were forced to abandon the attempt. After experiencing all the hardships and vicissitudes of those rough days, and having made a fair stake, the deceased, accompanied by his comrade, General Evans, returned by way of the Isthmus to his old home ia Ohio. In the Spring of 1859 Mr, Ross formed a partnership in business with Alvaro and Newton Evans and, accompanied by his brother, Albert E. Ross, and Jacob McKusick, started-out with a lot of cattle . and horses: across the plains, arriving in Long Valley in the Fall of the same year, Kvane came into Long Valley ahead of the rest of his company and finding the rancho, now known as the Evans and Ross rancho, in the hands of the ‘‘White-headed Ross,” an oldtime desperado, bat no relative of deceased, bought this beautiful mead»w and prepared to receive his partuers and their large band of stock. Early in the Spring of 1860 the Inlians put on theie war paint and were very troublesome, and _ the leceased and his neighbors built Fort Savage in Long valley in order +o protect themselves and property. On Dec. 23, 1862, Mr. Ross married Miss: Elizabeth Banon. In 1864 he sold-his interest’ in the EvansRoss rancho to Alvaro Evans and bought a place of Jacob McKusick, idjoining on the north. Mr. Ross has lived on that place ever since,’ making it one of the best ranches on that side of the mountains, Three years ago he purchased his Los Angeles county ranch, with the purpose of making it a home in his declining years. He had ‘passed through all the dangers and privations incident to early mining life; he had run the gauntlet of exposure to rostile Indians, aud by as oad tency sufficient to assure the ue comfort of himself and family. He was on the fatal train ¢ rushed down thé grade at/fehachepi a year ago-which resultedin-such a terrible catastrophe, and in which so mapy died ‘such horrible deaths. when the train commenced moving, sitting near the door, The great speed attracted his attention. Slipping out on to the platform he saw that the train was going back wards, He at once atepped over to the platform of the next car to grasp the brake and he had no sooner done so than the train parted and the car he had just. left, with others behind it, were hurled down the embankment His car passed ing the rails. ~ A Lady’s Find. Yesterday morning Dr. Lighthill of New York and his wife took a stroll out toward the Merritield mine, and on the way the. lady found near the croppings of. an unworked ledge a piece of quartz about the size of a small hickory nut that was literally filled with bright free gold. *~A ton of such ore would yield enough ¢f the royal metal to place any man above want, and ten tons would make him @ ‘millionaire.

The Chapman ranch is situated in a rich portion of the district, and some fine te have been made there. The main trouble experienced so far in getting it properly opened up has been a lack of working capital. . The Charonnat quartz claim in the Cafada Hill part of the district is s steady bullion producer, It’ now ranks as one of the most reliable fhines‘io' the township.’ ‘A full force of men is employed in the various than average richness. At the North Banner the various ledges are pitching toward eaeh other, with a prospect of uniting and making large: ‘deposits, The five stamps that the company recently added to the five already in are running and with geod results, The Merrifield chlorination works have been worked to their full capacity for five weeks past on rich sulphurets from that mine. Some of the other mines in that neighborhood are desirous to make arrangements for having their anicloret re duced there. 4 The 2,000 blocks washed out by the break in the flume of the Yuba Tunnel Mining Company daring the late freshet are being replaced, and the repairs will soon be made.” The water will then be turned through the tunnel and flumeagain. Several companies are. making preparations to work the bed of the South Yuba river at various points in this township. Over 100 men will soon be thus engaged within the limit: named, one sompany intending to give employment to as many as forty miners, This class of mining is con fined wostly to Chinese.

The Hussey mine: in Willow Valley is to be incorporated soon. KEEPING THEIR EYES PEELED. ——— os The Spies of the Anti-Miners on the ‘Lockout—Drawinga Line. The Marysville Appeal claims to have beén advised that more or les hydraulic mining, in small way, has been prosecuted,'since the promulgation of the Sawyer decision, a! different places about Dutch Flat and’Gold Ron. . It says: ‘‘The AntiDebris Association is kept advised of all the facts, and knows all the violators of the laws, who, in -due time, wilt probably becalled upon to answer. Those mines that have been washing by the hydraulic process on New York.Flat have” recently suspended work from the fact that Superintendent Phelps of the Sovth Feather and Yuba Canal refused to furnish water so long as tailing: from these mines were being washed into the Honcut or through Dry Creek into the Yuba river near Brown’s Valley. It.is understood that the New York Flat miners are erecting dams to restrain their tailings. Their claims have a very slight grade and the Nevada Company insist that they can dam back all the debris from their mines, The Portuguese Company, above the Nevada Company, has also suspended of water. The New York Company, with a view to re-commencing work, are building an extensive rock dam in the cut through which their debtis formerly was washed into Dry Creek. The dam is expected to create a reservoir covering about seyen-' ty-five acres, and,.which the company expects will hold back tailings forsome.time. This dami is erected as an expedient on the part of the miriers and not by the consent or advice of apybody. The authority ie Judge Temple: There is no law against hydraulic miners building dams, but after they are built and in use the miners will be held reeponsible for ‘the flow of debris over them into any of the rivers. The decree of Judge Sawyer makes it unlawful to flow debris into the river channels, nomatter whether the sand bgoes over a dam into the river or is directly deposited without the interenjoined from filling and damaging the river channels, The experiment of dams can be fried at the risk’ of hydraulic miners, But if the dam does not bold ‘pack debris and prevent damage the miner will be ‘ened.” ee ip i ae ip large and fresh Seay of Field, ‘Garden and Flower Seeds at Carn Bros., . to tireand death, on until finally stopped before leav. * ed i over . THE je mavER i] A Pleneer, Miner of of Nevada County Joins the Silent Majority. Robert. -E, Ross died about aix o’clock last Monday moraing at his old home in Long Valley, in the State of Nevade. —-Typhoid-pneumonia was the cause of death, “le had ‘been passing the Winter on his fruit ranch, near Los Angeles, having sold his Long Valley home’ last Full. ‘The object of his visit at this time was to close up his business affairs in Long Valley, It was doubtless the sudden change” of climate and overwork at the ranch that brought on the fatal attack, De ceased leaves a wife, an adopted daughter now residing at Walla Walla, Washington Territory, and two brothers, Aloert E, Ross of Long, Valley and Dr, Ross, one.of the Faculty in the Chicago Medical College Mr. Ross was born in Clark county, Ohio, 54 years ago. In 1850 Mr: Ross, then in his—20th year, with his companion in youth, Elisha W. Mull,” now of Virginia, crossed the plains and, at once came to Sweet‘land, this county, where’ they” etiyaged in gravel mining. Iu 1852, at French Corral, General Evans, now of Reno, and the deceased, with bis friend Mull, formed a partaership and opened a hydraulic mine. which they continued to work until 1858 [t was during this ~period that mine jampers were tetrorizing the mining regions, Men armed to the teeth would organize and drive the true owners out and forcibly seize possessién, Such a gang visited French Corral, and attempted to terrorize Ross and his’ comrades; but met with such a warm reception that they were forced to abandon the attempt. After experiencing all the hardships and vicissitudes of those rough days, and having made a fair stake, the deceased, accompanied by his comrade, General Evans, returned by way of the Isthmus to his old home ia Ohio. In the Spring of 1859 Mr, Ross formed a partnership in business with Alvaro and Newton Evans and, accompanied by his brother, Albert E. Ross, and Jacob McKusick, started-out with a lot of cattle . and horses: across the plains, arriving in Long Valley in the Fall of the same year, Kvane came into Long Valley ahead of the rest of his company and finding the rancho, now known as the Evans and Ross rancho, in the hands of the ‘‘White-headed Ross,” an oldtime desperado, bat no relative of deceased, bought this beautiful mead»w and prepared to receive his partuers and their large band of stock. Early in the Spring of 1860 the Inlians put on theie war paint and were very troublesome, and _ the leceased and his neighbors built Fort Savage in Long valley in order +o protect themselves and property. On Dec. 23, 1862, Mr. Ross married Miss: Elizabeth Banon. In 1864 he sold-his interest’ in the EvansRoss rancho to Alvaro Evans and bought a place of Jacob McKusick, idjoining on the north. Mr. Ross has lived on that place ever since,’ making it one of the best ranches on that side of the mountains, Three years ago he purchased his Los Angeles county ranch, with the purpose of making it a home in his declining years. He had ‘passed through all the dangers and privations incident to early mining life; he had run the gauntlet of exposure to rostile Indians, aud by as oad tency sufficient to assure the ue comfort of himself and family. He was on the fatal train ¢ rushed down thé grade at/fehachepi a year ago-which resultedin-such a terrible catastrophe, and in which so mapy died ‘such horrible deaths. when the train commenced moving, sitting near the door, The great speed attracted his attention. Slipping out on to the platform he saw that the train was going back wards, He at once atepped over to the platform of the next car to grasp the brake and he had no sooner done so than the train parted and the car he had just. left, with others behind it, were hurled down the embankment His car passed ing the rails. ~ A Lady’s Find. Yesterday morning Dr. Lighthill of New York and his wife took a stroll out toward the Merritield mine, and on the way the. lady found near the croppings of. an unworked ledge a piece of quartz about the size of a small hickory nut that was literally filled with bright free gold. *~A ton of such ore would yield enough ¢f the royal metal to place any man above want, and ten tons would make him @ ‘millionaire.
