Hugh Elias writes-as follows to the Mining and Scientific ‘Rress: Like all the mining districts of California, Grass Valley suffered its ups and downs, its early tribulations from fires and floods, but ‘. owed its setbacks more to unsy stematic and irregulax mining than to any other cause. Notwith‘. standing all these, the output of the mines of Grass Valley and their well-known richness in former times should encourage explorations in depth and extent with every reasonable expectation of an ample reward for the outlay. I append‘a list of mines which have all produced in the -plural number of millions: TOONORG 3. oS. over. .$7,000,000 Idaho. .°.03 «<<. -7,000;000Empire..°. st. e«7,000,000 Allison Ranch. ‘© . 4,700,000 Rocky Bar.. ‘ . 4,500,000 Gold Hill.. «4,000,000 North Star.. $6. ona:s 8,000,000 New York Hill. ‘* .. 3,000,090 Scadden’s Flat. ‘' . 2,009,000 New Rocky Bar “ . 2,000,000 I could tabulate scores of others that have produced over a million of dollars. It is an, astonishing showing, and the more so if we take into our calculations what is currently believed here that fully as much more gold as above crédited was carried off by the early miners by way of stealing specimens in their boots, lunch buckets and by divers other contrivances, and as these were mostly chunks of almost pure gold it is not at all improbable that the above figures may be nearly doubled in gross product of the mines. A story is‘ttold of a miner who went to work on: a Monday morning in anew mine, quitting on a Friday of ‘the same week, having accumulated in the meantime a large fortune. Professor Benjamin Silliman, in his notes on the Grass Valley district, says: ‘‘This place has obtained ‘a well-earned celebrity as the most prosperous of allthe gold quartz mining districts in California.”’ : Wm. Ashburner, Esq.,,in his remarks on the gold mining interests of California in J. Ross Brown’s Report on the Resources of the States and Territories west of the Rocky mofintains, speaks of the Grass Valley region (page 46) thus: ‘“‘When we consider the richness of the veins, the length of time some .of the mines have been worked, and the amount of gold annually produced, the most important quartz mining region of California is, without any doubt, that.of Grass Valley in Nevada county.” I quote the above distinguished-authorities in support of my testimony as to'the permanence, prosperity-and richne’s_ of this district. Another «important feature in connection with these veins.is the fact of their increasing in extent and richness as depth is attained } in this respect they resemble the silver mines of Spain and the tin mines of Cornwall. I find at this time the Idaho working on its 1600-foot level, paying monthly dividends without a single interruption in years, and aggregating in the immediate neighborhood of $4,000,000, working its lowest levels entirely, from which portion of the mine rich specimens are being extracted daily. In the -company’s mill there is a complete outfit of machinery for the treatment of these specimens by a separate process. The Empire is also working on its 1600-foot level on a chute of ore over 200 feet in width. This is a private corporation, and but little is known on the’ outside of its actual resources further than that itis paying largely, and. by many here it is believed to be at this time the.richest mine in’ Nevada county, if not in the State of California. ‘ The North Star is werking its 1400-foot level, and the New. York Hill its 1300-foot level ; this is certain proof of the permanence of these veins and their continued richness from grass roots down. ° Notwithstanding the foregoing showing of undisputed facts, it is amost astonishing circumstance that many of the mines of this district are now lying idle and neglected, many. having. so remained for the past 20 years; and for no other reason that I can perceive than the simple fact that they have been worked from the surface and all along their surface, down to water leyel, a depth of some sixty feet. The, lack ‘of energy and capitalto place. upon them suitable pumping and hoisting machinery, is the only cause of.their being at the present standstill, for they are stillrich in the bottom, and the millions extracted from the deep worked mines here lie hidden-and expectant of the stroke of the pick that shall ‘open-their prison door. This is the more reprehensible, inasmuch as these dormant mines were ‘not “disastrous failures,’”? nor were they the cause of any loss whatever to their owners; on the con-. trary, they had yielded immense amounts of money to their workers. True, they have been coyoted and gouged out of all mining shape, worked on shares, on tribute, on leases, on bonds, each party so working living from hand tomouth, and some more lucky ones striking rich pockets, which were either riotously spent, banked or invested; but never a cent returned tothe mine for intelligent opening and this system is too much in vogue here, even -at the present day. I have followed little rat hole drifts, at_ the end of which. the ledge had been picked like a series of gimlet holes, and then abandoned by the tributers for a warmer place and looser~ ground. I know of a large number of these mines that paid very profitably ‘at atime when: mining labor was $5 per day, at which time no one knew how to amalgamate properly, saving sulphurets was not thought of, and the mill was a rattle-trap concern that failed of crushing the rock. ‘These very mines ut the present day with our mining and milling facilities, improved gold saving apparatus, and cheapened labor would turn out a fortune to their owners. The suspended activity of thesé mines is certainly due to causes quite unconsistent with their intrinsic values. Of late, however, E note renewed activity—a new awakening dawning over and pervading. the whole district. Some six or seven of these quiescent mines are being rapidly equipped with powerful machinery capable of sinking to great depths, and this principally with local enterprise and capital. I find some 10 quartz mills in active operation, aggregating 150 stamps, and giving employiment to 1500 men in both mines and mills. Neighborhood Troubles. Mrs. Schmidt, who keeps a lodging house on the corner of Pine and Commercial streets, yesterday had Mrs. Grace Phillips and Mrs. Mary Faulkner, who occupy a saloon in the adjoining. building, arrested for disturbing the peace, complainant alleging that there was a row at the saloon Sunday night. Mrs. Phillips’ trial will take place at ten o’clock Wednesday and Mrs. Faulkner’s at two o’clock the afternoon of the same day. Tessie Varney, who lives with Mrs. Schmidt, was arrested a little later on the same charge, Mrs. Phillips being the complainant. Her trial was set for ten o’clock Thursday forenoon. The above cases are brought before Justice Sowden, and a jury is demanded in each of them. Superior Court, The following business was transacted in the Superior Court yesterday, Hon. J. M.

The Grass Valley Union of Sunday says: ‘‘Several pieces of rich gold-bearing quartz from the Crown Point mine were brought to town yesterday afternoon by Richard Gauthier, which attracted much attention. The gold was in compact and solid granular streaks running entirely through the rock, unmixed with sulphurets. The rock itself was of that lively churacter that a practical miner always like to see, as it gives assurance of a good goldPoint is showing itself to .be hy every day’s developments. The rich rock was taken out at a depth of 180 feet, and at a point where the ledge is six feet in width.” The Crown Point, known in early days as the William Penn, is situated on Wolf Creek — only afew hundred yards from the railroad depot. A well-known capitalist offered $110,000 for the property justafter the strike was made, and his offer was refused. On Sunday specimens to the value of $12,000 were reported to have been taken out, Preparations are {being made to resume work at the Coe mine, adjoinining the Crown Point. ~This claim was worked extensively fifteen years ago, some $100,000 being expended upon it. A large ledge yielding $20 a ton was developed, but before there had been much realized a ‘‘horse’’ was encountéred and the ore deposit was lost track of. The machinery was run . _y steam, which entailed heavy expense, and the owners soon quit in disgust. The putting in of water power was commenced yesterday and active prospecting will shortly begin. At the North Star some remarkably rich rock is being taken out. eel 4 Murderer Sentenced. % The Sierra City Tribune of Friday says: Judge Walling of Nevada county yesterday sentenced James O’Neal to be hanged on the 27th of November. It will be remembered that O’Neal was tried for the murder of J. Woodward, committed near Webber Lake, on the Henness Pass road, in August, 1884. The first jury failed to agree and a second trial was had, when O’Neal was ‘convicted of murder in the first degree. F. D. Sow~ ard, present Superior Judge, was counsel for O’Neal, hence the necessity of having a brother Judge pass senténce. A petition is being circulated for a commutation to imprisonment for life, and a remonstrance to such commutation is.also being circulated. Smashup on the Yuba Grade. A-party of sixteen Columbia Hill people, including the mem. bers of the band at that place, started in a wagon Saturday evening for Blue Tent to attend the dance given at the latter place and cinity. While coming down the grade on the north side of the Yuba the brake to the wagon gave away causing a smash-up. Our informant says that ,John Frandy and two or three other members of the party whose names he did not learn were somewhat injured by the accident. oo Pioneer Bookstore. Go to J. B.

About fitty gentlemen and a number of ladies went. out from this city Sunday forenoon to the head of Selby Flat to witness the draining of one of the large reservoirs at the Mountain Fish Farm. The lowering of the water had been in progress since Thursday, and shortly before noon of Sunday there remained above the dam but a comparatively small pool. This was seen to be fairly alive with tens of thousands of the fish (so far as can be ascertained they are the bearing vein, and such the Crown }Only ones of the breed on the coast), varying in length from half an inch to about two feet anda half. Then began the rush of the plump creatures through the capacious trunk passing under the dam and into the flume connecting with it onthe lower side; where they weré caught by screens which prevented them from finding their way into the next reservoir helow, and were temporarily placed: in tubs and barrels of water. “From these latter receptacles they were after being assorted placed in oth‘er reservoirs, the one and three year olds and the ‘‘babies’’ of this year’s spawning being put each by themselves.

About 14 months since he was advised by his physicians on account of ill health to leave the mountains for awhile. Messrs. Brand sold a half interest in the business. to Mr. McCutchan, but the copartnership has not been a profitable one and G. E. Brand has been induced by his brother and his many friends to come back to to the old management and again the business will be pushed by the brothers, G. 8. and G.E. Brand,with all its former vigor.

I append‘a list of mines which have all produced in the -plural number of millions: TOONORG 3. oS. over.. .$7,000,000 Idaho.. .°..03 «<<. -7,000;000Empire...°.. st. e«7,000,000 Allison Ranch. ‘© .. 4,700,000 Rocky Bar... ‘ .. 4,500,000 Gold Hill... «4,000,000 North Star... $6. ona:s 8,000,000 New York Hill. ‘* ... 3,000,090 Scadden’s Flat. ‘' .. 2,009,000 New Rocky Bar “ . 2,000,000 I could tabulate scores of others that have produced over a million of dollars. It is an, astonishing showing, and the more so if we take into our calculations what is currently believed here that fully as much more gold as above crédited was carried off by the early miners by way of stealing specimens in their boots, lunch buckets and by divers other contrivances, and as these were mostly chunks of almost pure gold it is not at all improbable that the above figures may be nearly doubled in gross product of the mines. A story is‘ttold of a miner who went to work on: a Monday morning in anew mine, quitting on a Friday of ‘the same week, having accumulated in the meantime a large fortune. Professor Benjamin Silliman, in his notes on the Grass Valley district, says: ‘‘This place has obtained ‘a well-earned celebrity as the most prosperous of allthe gold quartz mining districts in California.”’ : Wm. Ashburner, Esq.,,in his remarks on the gold mining interests of California in J. Ross Brown’s Report on the Resources of the States and Territories west of the Rocky mofintains, speaks of the Grass Valley region (page 46) thus: ‘“‘When we consider the richness of the veins, the length of time some .of the mines have been worked, and the amount of gold annually produced, the most important quartz mining region of California is, without any doubt, that.of Grass Valley in Nevada county.” I quote the above distinguished-authorities in support of my testimony as to'the permanence, prosperity-and richne’s_ of this district. Another «important feature in connection with these veins.is the fact of their increasing in extent and richness as depth is attained } in this respect they resemble the silver mines of Spain and the tin mines of Cornwall. I find at this time the Idaho working on its 1600-foot level, paying monthly dividends without a single interruption in years, and aggregating in the immediate neighborhood of $4,000,000, working its lowest levels entirely, from which portion of the mine rich specimens are being extracted daily. In the -company’s mill there is a complete outfit of machinery for the treatment of these specimens by a separate process. The Empire is also working on its 1600-foot level on a chute of ore over 200 feet in width. This is a private corporation, and but little is known on the’ outside of its actual resources further than that itis paying largely, and. by many here it is believed to be at this time the.richest mine in’ Nevada county, if not in the State of California. ‘ The North Star is werking its 1400-foot level, and the New. York Hill its 1300-foot level ; this is certain proof of the permanence of these veins and their continued richness from grass roots down. ° Notwithstanding the foregoing showing of undisputed facts, it is amost astonishing circumstance that many of the mines of this district are now lying idle and neglected, many. having. so remained for the past 20 years; and for no other reason that I can perceive than the simple fact that they have been worked from the surface and all along their surface, down to water leyel, a depth of some sixty feet. The, lack ‘of energy and capitalto place. upon them suitable pumping and hoisting machinery, is the only cause of.their being at the present standstill, for they are stillrich in the bottom, and the millions extracted from the deep worked mines here lie hidden-and expectant of the stroke of the pick that shall ‘open-their prison door. This is the more reprehensible, inasmuch as these dormant mines were ‘not “disastrous failures,’”? nor were they the cause of any loss whatever to their owners; on the con-. trary, they had yielded immense amounts of money to their workers. True, they have been coyoted and gouged out of all mining shape, worked on shares, on tribute, on leases, on bonds, each party so working living from hand tomouth, and some more lucky ones striking rich pockets, which were either riotously spent, banked or invested; but never a cent returned tothe mine for intelligent opening and this system is too much in vogue here, even -at the present day. I have followed little rat hole drifts, at_ the end of which. the ledge had been picked like a series of gimlet holes, and then abandoned by the tributers for a warmer place and looser~ ground. I know of a large number of these mines that paid very profitably ‘at atime when: mining labor was $5 per day, at which time no one knew how to amalgamate properly, saving sulphurets was not thought of, and the mill was a rattle-trap concern that failed of crushing the rock. ‘These very mines ut the present day with our mining and milling facilities, improved gold saving apparatus, and cheapened labor would turn out a fortune to their owners. The suspended activity of thesé mines is certainly due to causes quite unconsistent with their intrinsic values. Of late, however, E note renewed activity—a new awakening dawning over and pervading. the whole district. Some six or seven of these quiescent mines are being rapidly equipped with powerful machinery capable of sinking to great depths, and this principally with local enterprise and capital. I find some 10 quartz mills in active operation, aggregating 150 stamps, and giving employiment to 1500 men in both mines and mills. Neighborhood Troubles. Mrs. Schmidt, who keeps a lodging house on the corner of Pine and Commercial streets, yesterday had Mrs. Grace Phillips and Mrs. Mary Faulkner, who occupy a saloon in the adjoining. building, arrested for disturbing the peace, complainant alleging that there was a row at the saloon Sunday night. Mrs. Phillips’ trial will take place at ten o’clock Wednesday and Mrs. Faulkner’s at two o’clock the afternoon of the same day. Tessie Varney, who lives with Mrs. Schmidt, was arrested a little later on the same charge, Mrs. Phillips being the complainant. Her trial was set for ten o’clock Thursday forenoon.

The Grass Valley Union of Sunday says: ‘‘Several pieces of rich gold-bearing quartz from the Crown Point mine were brought to town yesterday afternoon by Richard Gauthier, which attracted much attention. The gold was in compact and solid granular streaks running entirely through the rock, unmixed with sulphurets. The rock itself was of that lively churacter that a practical miner always like to see, as it gives assurance of a good goldPoint is showing itself to .be hy every day’s developments. The rich rock was taken out at a depth of 180 feet, and at a point where the ledge is six feet in width.” The Crown Point, known in early days as the William Penn, is situated on Wolf Creek — only afew hundred yards from the railroad depot. A well-known capitalist offered $110,000 for the property justafter the strike was made, and his offer was refused. On Sunday specimens to the value of $12,000 were reported to have been taken out, Preparations are {being made to resume work at the Coe mine, adjoinining the Crown Point. ~This claim was worked extensively fifteen years ago, some $100,000 being expended upon it. A large

ledge yielding $20 a ton was developed, but before there had been much realized a ‘‘horse’’ was encountéred and the ore deposit was lost track of. The machinery was run . _y steam, which entailed heavy expense, and the owners soon quit in disgust. The putting in of water power was commenced yesterday and active prospecting will shortly begin. At the North Star some remarkably rich rock is being taken out. eel 4 Murderer Sentenced. % The Sierra City Tribune of Friday says: Judge Walling of Nevada county yesterday sentenced James O’Neal to be hanged on the 27th of November. It will be remembered that O’Neal was tried for the murder of J. Woodward, committed near Webber Lake, on the Henness Pass road, in August, 1884. The first jury failed to agree and a second trial was had, when O’Neal was ‘convicted of murder in the first degree. F. D. Sow~ ard, present Superior Judge, was counsel for O’Neal, hence the necessity of having a brother Judge pass senténce. A petition is being circulated for a commutation to imprisonment for life, and a remonstrance to such commutation is.also being circulated. Smashup on the Yuba Grade. A-party of sixteen Columbia Hill people, including the mem. bers of the band at that place, started in a wagon Saturday evening for Blue Tent to attend the dance given at the latter place and cinity. While coming down the grade on the north side of the Yuba the brake to the wagon gave away causing a smash-up.

About fitty gentlemen and a number of ladies went. out from this city Sunday forenoon to the head of Selby Flat to witness the draining of one of the large reservoirs at the Mountain Fish Farm. The lowering of the water had been in progress since Thursday, and shortly before noon of Sunday there remained above the dam but a comparatively small pool. This was seen to be fairly alive with tens of thousands of the fish (so far as can be ascertained they are the bearing vein, and such the Crown }Only ones of the breed on the coast), varying in length from half an inch to about two feet anda half. Then began the rush of the plump creatures through the capacious trunk passing under the dam and into the flume connecting with it onthe lower side; where they weré caught by screens which prevented them from finding their way into the next reservoir helow, and were temporarily placed: in tubs and barrels of water. “From these latter receptacles they were after being assorted placed in oth‘er reservoirs, the one and three year olds and the ‘‘babies’’ of this year’s spawning being put each by themselves.
