This is the predominating color té

of the gravel.in the lower stratum
exphiins the cause, Tt contsing iron

owned by the -Execlsior, (he Bareka
Tent and North Bloomfield Companjes are vitunted. The Excelsior Min_ ing Company’s property’ embraces
the deep gravel deposits in the vicinity of Smartaville, covering an: area
of 527 acres. One hundred and
fifty-five acres of this, bas -been
worked out.
The Euteka Take and Yuba Canal
Company's mines cover a total area
of about three thousand acres, and
ext ns in. detached )sectiqns from
Rehet Hill to French Corral,
The Binae Tent Consolidated Gold
Mines comprise six huodred. acrea
of the auriferiuas_gravel deposit. .
‘These mines are located on the left
bank of the seuth Yuba, immediate
ly opposite Luke eity. Tue Consoli
dation embraces those mines formerly known ae the E.terprise, the
fovth Yuba, Gopher and Blue Load.
Gopber ravine joins the South Yuba
river jast above the Blue Tent property. Theold stage road to Virginia
Eity crossesthe Com} any’s ground!
and the Gapber House, a stage station familur¢e all who have had . occasion to travel,to and from Virginia
City by stage, stood upon it.
_At the-npper end of a somewhat
abrupt bend of the Sonth Yuba,
which oceucs above the mouth -of}
Gophe® ravine, Hambug creek joins
the river on she right bank. It is
on this ¢reek that the North Bloomtield mine is situated. The company ows av area of 1,000.acres on
the Ridge. Higher up the Ridge,
are the mives,in and around Relief
Hill, Woolsey.and Moore's Flats and
_ other placer.
The deep gravel deposite of the
Ridge varies in depth from 150 to 1,000 feet. In the North Bloomfield
mine the bank is about 150 f-et high;
the bank eyposed‘lut the Blue Tent
mines range from 250 to 500 feet, ani
ay the work progresses the beight of
the bank increases, tie channel running into the bill. The depih.of tbe
gtavel bed at the upper end
of the claim will probably
reath 1,000 test. At Columbia
Hill, ® stratam of gravel from 200 to
300 feet in thickness has been Stripped and the bed-rock (no battou
having been revched, is probably
that depth below. The Excelsior
ye Smartaville contain a bank
iférous gravel about two bun
‘ad ir depth. At Quaker Hull,
a slat has been sunk in tue depos .
over 400 feet and no buttom fonud,

Although the deep gravel deposit
of “Poe Ridge”’ has been -bat partially developed, enaagh is kpown
of it to enable its auriferous wealth
to be computed. The gold is ‘very
evenly distributed thsongh it. Given the ares, and the quantity of
suld it contains. ig a very simple
matbewmati-val calculation. The Columbia H.)1 property covers two aud
# bulf niles in leugth of the channel,
und an estimate based op tbe resuits
‘of operations “on it atid adjoining
claims pluces the suriferous ‘wealth
ofthe auworked ground at $18,0U0,000, In the Excelsiur Comp ny’s
pines, 8,634,720 cubic yurdw uf
ground bave-been removed which
yielded $2,925,000. The unworked
ground of this compnuny is estimuted
by experts at 81,000,000 eabic yards
of gravel which is.represevted by the
same autborities to contain $18.40,000. ‘ue auriferous wea).b of other
mining companies located on *‘The
Ridge” bus been similarly estimuted,
the calculation being based on the
resvits of mining operations.
