The Blue Tent Mines. We have received a copy of. the General Manager’s report of the! Blue Teut Consolidated Hydraulic Gold Mines of California, Limited, ’ says the San Francisco Stock Report. These placer mines, whieh are sitw‘ated in the Sierras, near the South Yuba, are being worked by a London company, under the Beneral sapervision of the well known mining and consulting engineer, Mr, Thomas Price. The report before us was _presented to the sharebolders in London at the adjourned general meeting on the 5th ult. There is no douht that the Blue Tent mine itself is a valuable property; indeed Ht isuniversally conceded to contain. eee of 400 acres of auriferous gravel, with a depth ranging from 30 to 40 feet, and the indications of its richness are as encouraging as they ean be without the prospect having approached bed rock. There were, however, men unfavorable conditions to contend with ia working the elaim, seach as hardness and cement im the gravel, large boulders, and last, but most important, scarcity of water. Mr. Price's emergy and experience have at length triumphed over his last obstacle, ond a ditch and flume were suceessfully eompleted, and a telegram to the Direetoss in London on Dec. 2lst announced: “Water flowing through diteh to Tent.” The ditch is $1 miles in leugth, starting from Emigrant Gap, on the South Yuba, with four miles of flume laid in a bed blosted out of solid granite. During the first portion of the distance the capacity of the ditch is 5,000 miners inches, and 4,000.for the latter portion. It is now carrying down its full supply of water, and we may soon expect to+ hear of golden results: from the mines: We may add that Mr. Prite was complimented .by a vote of thanks from the shareholders on thé} successful performance of his diffieult task, A wew bank bas. “Saks established at Suisun—with a capital sstuck of __.__ $100,000.
