The Spanish mine, three miles north from Washington, continues to pan out splendid: Two Huntington mills are crushing about 75 tons of ore per day. This mine is avery peculiar formation, being apparently quartz and chrome iron decomposed and forming a substance something like pulverized bricks, in all shades, from light yellow to dark brown. It runs in parallel streaks, from an inch to six or eight feet’ thick, with streaks of slate of about like thickness intervening. The entire thickness of the lead is about 100 feet. All the intervening slate contains considerable gold, but as yet none of it has been milled. The lode has been traced for more than a mile, and the Spanish mining company has pretty thoroughly prospected it for more than 1000 feet. The company owns 4,500 feet in length of the lode, and will soon put in two or three more Huntington mills. ; Frank Hathaway has a location and good prospect north of and adjoining the Spanish. Sam. Baxter and J. D. Harroun have the. first locations south of the Spanich company. . Many other locations have been made in all directions from the Spanish, and some of them get good prospects. “Coon” Grissell and E. T. Worthley in working their river claim just al.ove town cut through a fine looking quartz vein about three feet thick. Bill Piper has lately found some excellent ore in his Canyon Creek claim. Henry Kohler, Charles Helgeson and others have some rich looking ore in their mines, situated on Canyon creek, a short distance above the mouth. The Baker mine, on the south side of the Yuta, opposite the mouth of Canyon Creek, is_yielding good ore, and to all appearances there is plenty of it. The ore is crushed at the Ocean Star mill. : The Ocean star mine belongs to aChicagocompany. No work has been done on it since the death ot Mr. Siering, the manager, a year or two ago. Between the Ocean Star and Helgesonville, less than three miles up the river, hundreds of locations have been made on both sides of the river, but no work is being done on any of them vet. The.Blue Jay mine, belonging to Messrs. Peck, Campbell, Chadwick and Baugh, of Blue Tent,and Frank Young, of Nevada City, is turning out some exceedingly fine ore as they drive their tunnel. The lead in the facé Of the tunnel now is from 20 to 30 inches thick, with free gold showing throughout. This tunnel is being run by M. A. Baugh, one of the proprietors. This mine is the north extension of the Cornucopia. : The Cornucopia, the first mine ever located in the district, belongs to an English company. It has lately erected new hoisting and pumping machinery heavy enough to work the mine 1000 feet deep. The incline on the lode is being sunk night and day, and is now down about 100 feet’ with a goodlooking, fair sized lead in the bottom. ¥ : The Yuba mine, the second location in the district, made early in the sixties, is south of the Yubu river, and is the south extension of the Cornucopia mine. This is one of the best mines in the county. For nearly 20 years it has been worked by various parties who contented themselves with running into the mountain side, which is very steep, but none of them came out more than even, while most of them came out behind. A few years since the property was purchased by Messrs. J. B. Haggin and J. N. Webber oi San Francisco. At first they tried the tunnels in the mountain with the usual results, but finally concluded to sink below the bed ot the river. At once the mine assumed a new aspect. The lead was found thicker,richer and more regular the deeper they went, and the ground: became softer’ and more easily worked. The shaft is now more than three hundred feet below the river bed. They have added 10 new stamps to their mill this summer, making 25 in all, and contemplate erecting 25 more stamps next spring. They have an unlimited free water power. The mill is run by an overshot wheel, and the boisting, pumping and compressor machinery is run by Pelton wheels. The Lindsey or Fall Creek Company’s mine is situated high on the mountain side north of the Yuba, and is now idle. Many reasons are assigned for its not being worked, but it cannot be for want of good ore and plenty of it. The lede has been worked nearly t 6 ~ was run until but one stamp and ee half a cam was left. rom five to fifteen feet thick, and can be worked to a depth of 1500 feet without pumping. Belonging to this property is one of the best water rights in the State. A pressure of 2000 feet can be had which would ‘‘just make old Pelton howl.” The next ‘mine of any pretensions aboye, or east of the Yuba is the Croesus, belonging to J. G. Fredenburr. Some work has been done there and some good rock taken therefrom, but no attempt has yet been made toreally develop it. * On the north side of the riyer, a little further east, is the Governor Morton G. M. Co’s. (or Champion) mine. This gompany has lately erected a Huntington mill and has extracted some exceedingly rich ore. There are three or four good sized lodes running parallel and apparently in the same fissure, but the company must do considerable more developing work before the mine can show upas it should. East of the Champion is the Blue Bell, belonging to J. G. Fredenburr. Tiis is a strong, well defined lead from three to 6 feet thick, “traceable for a long distance, Within the exteriér boundaries there is another larger lode running paraliel\about 100 feet east.of the Blue Bell. There has been a pit or shaft sunk on the Blue Bell about thirty-five feet deep and the same length onthe lode. There is about 100 tons of good looking ore on the dump. fredenburr contemplates erecting a mill of some kind on his mine before spring. He has a splendid water right, sufficient for all purposes. . The Eagle Bird mine is situated on the south side of the Yuba river, and nearly south from the Governor Morton and the Blue Bell mines, both of which apparently run<right into the Eagle Bird. They are all undoubtedly on the same immense fissure. The shaft on the Eagle Bird is now down over 300 feet in as good or better ore than ever. In sinking, the lead was found to be from two. to ten feet thick, but the thinplaces were the exception, so that the average was about eight feet. The various levels averaged even more, some of them showing a-lead ot more than 20 feet thick. Every pound of rock taken out is crushed ata profit. There have never been 20 tons of waste rock taken irom the mine. The 20 stamps -. and two Huntington mills are kept running night and day, crushing about 60 tons each 24 hours, Mills, hoisting works, pumps and compressors: are all run by water, of which the company owns an unlimited supply. Several Pelton wheels are used. The company has lately purchased and is uow putting in place a large new compressor with power to run six air drills. The one now in use oeing only sufficient for two drills, will be discarded. On the same side of the river, a few hundred feet east of the Eagle Bird, is the Waters mine, (it Kas another name forgotten by the writer) on which there isa Huntington mill and ample buildings; but from some unknown reason operations thereon have been suspended. The lead is large and well defined, but very little work has been done to develop it. Further east, up the canyon of the Yuba on either side, many more locations have: been made
within the last year, but from the inaccessible character of the country there has as yet been no attempt at development. : The Dublin Boy mine, belonging to John McCarthy, is situated about: five _miles_northerly -from Washington, and about two milés northeasterly from the Spanish mine. It is in the slate range,and has a strong vein from four to fifteen feet thick. The decomposed 1ock shows fine prospects when panned, and some of: the hard rock sparkles witn free gold’ Many years ago a-10.-stanip mill was erected on this mine, but both mortars were broken within a very short time, and the owners not having touched the true lead, the property was neglected for a long time. It eventually came intothe hands of MeCarthy,who has opened the ming in several places, both by tunnels and shafts, and as soon as he is able financially he will’ repair and start up the mill. The. mine can be run by water from any of the large ridge ditches under very, high pressure, so that ihe cost will be small.

In the case of Yuba county against the Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Co., of this county, Geo. W. Benson and 8S. Spencer, antimining spies, on the 29th of last May filed a complaint charging the defendaut with contempt, and the matter came up for hearing Monday. The testimony of the two complaining witnesses’ was taken, no evidenge being heard on the part of defendant. Judge Keyser found the latter guilty as charged and imposed a fine of $500. In two former similar cases the Company has been fined by the same court, once in the sum of $250 and once in the sum of $500. On both former occasions the corporation appealed to the State Supreme Court, declaring that as the papers were served not on an official of the company~ but~ upon their attorneys, it was an illegal proceeding, and should entitle them to. judgmént. The. court believed that the lower onedid properly and gave its decision in favor of the plaintiff. The Eureka Co. thensued out a writ, which took the matter to the U. S. Supreme Court, where it is now pending, and they will probably await results before proceeding with the case now on hand. Benson’s testimony was in substance as follows: Benson and Spencer visited the mine on the 14th of June last. From a point half or three-quarters ofa mile distant they saw two monitors-piping into the banks of the mine and washing the loosened earth into. the slucies. The nozzles of the monitors or little giants used were about eight inches in size, and they estimated that about 2,000 inches of water was being used. When he. first saw the work they were piping into a bank from 4 to 14 feet high. The second time they were piping right into the bottom. There was a large cut in the bank that they had washed out and they were sweeping the loose stuff into the sluices. The material there is very loose, fine gravel—nothing hard—and the water sloshing against the bottom of the bank would naturally cause the bank to cave and the loose stuff would be swept into the sluices. He had been there often before and seen the water coming down around this place but could never g2t close enough to see the pipes until that day. After they had A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. oe eres ww Removal of Eustis & Tompkins’ Store—To the Public.

AND THE cut the banks out it left the monitors in full view from the position he occupied so that he. could distinctly see both. . The next day— June 15th—he went down into the mine and within 150 feet of the monitors. Therewas noone at work then. He saw one man with a bucket who went under some brush, presumably to eat his dinner, as it was about noon. He stayed there 15 or 20 minutes and saw about what amount of work had been done. There was evidence of considerable work having been.lately done. A great deal_of the bank bad been washed away. The washed material passed into Spring Creek and thence into the South Yuba on the north side. There wasno other place for the debris to flow excepting into the river. He did not know that any impediments had been placed in‘ the way of his visiting the Eureka Lake mines. At one time they had a couple of men fora week to watch him, who were to receive a certain amount provided they could keep him away from the mine a month. After that there were two other men employéd by other mines to watch him who were supposed to go everywhere he went, but he did not know whether or not the Eureka Lake Company had anything to do with that. After Benson’s examination was closed Spencer was sworn. His testimony was mainly corroborative of Benson’s. He did not recollect seeing more than one or two men at work in the mine. He judged the size of the nozzles used to be’8 inches, which were carrying fully 2,000 inches of water. From‘the character of the material -he judged they would run 3,000 cubic yards every 24 hours with the appliances they had for working. There seemed to be quite an amount of recent work.

Turner’s store last week, had his preliminary examination Tuesday evening ‘before Justice Wadsworth who bound him over in the sum of $2,000 for trial in the U.S. District Court. Under Sheriff Holland, J. M. Hadléy, D. E. Morgan and James Richards were the witnesses for the prosecution, defendant ap pearing without counsel and introducing no evidence. When arrested there were found upon his person some new 25 cent silver pieces of lawful money wrapped in tissue paper and with small particles. of chalk or plaster of Paris adhering to them. Mr. Holland said that in taking the prisoner to jail he observed him making motions as it throwing something away, and that when he went back over the route a day or two later he found half of a counterfeit dollar lying by the path they took. Richards, a prisoner: in the jai’, testified that Thomas admitted to him that between the time of h's arrest and of his being searched he threw away several pieces of bogus coin that he had on_ his person. _.
