Spee rN ee a ae i : ee Mining o on the deep dt eet has cmaeh: iga proportions. The work previously seat performed by the piek-atid shovel iu the hands. olhe miapet miner is noe tc} 4 of the top stratam, ‘When the Blue Tent mines sre completely develop. = ance, the ‘strasam ie deeply: “disadtoredby oxtde of “iron? _. and is of a rusty color toa depth of about 100 fect. At abont that depto the-reddish tinge abruptly disappears ‘fand tbe gravel assumes a bluish tint. This is the predominating color té tue bed-rock. A close~ examination of the gravel.in the lower stratum exphiins the cause, Tt contsing iron pyries. The oxidization in the upper stratom bas probably been caus ed bythe Percolation of the’ Batface and ons” sealer compared to which no branch — of California” :tadiweley which bas made ‘snch a vast —“progress a& that of hydraalio mining .

"Fre-principal hydraulic proper"es on “Phe Ridge” are located ov the banks of the South and Middle Yirha, It is op the ‘banks of these “rtenmns. that. the’ bydraalie . Mines . 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, and recently a shaft was bottomed o: the Watt’s claim abow the Not Bloomfield mine at a depth of ove 400 ‘feet, with the be@kroak s:ji pitebing,showing still deeper growuc "the deposit vuries in width at di: ferent points, In tie North Bioon. fleldmiyedt is ubouy 500 feet.

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. iso é PERSONAL MENTION. “Mrs. Carrie F.
