THR LONE STAR.
‘As heretofore annonneed, the Lone

has been bonded for $25,000 (which is
dirt cheap) to @ former resident of this
city whose headquarters are now at Fan

here for several days making an examination of the ground, and by his recommendation prospecting work will shortly
be inaugurated.
THE PROVIDENCE.
This eld mine, famous for so many
years as one of the biggest and moat reliable gold quarts claims inthe State, is
now taking on a new lease of life
and well posted miners prophesy
that its future career will surpass
ite past one in those attributes that are
most devoutly prayed for by legitimate

local representative of the new syndicate

lacy of such @ contention,
THE CHAMPION, ;
The Champion is another of the dividend payers of this city, and it is also one
of the “big” quartz mines of the coast.
It gives a small army of men lucrative
employment in its numerous departments,
above and below ground. Its, shaft is
a thousand feet deep aud there are e mythat add each their share to the steady
flow of bullion. Superintendent Zeidtler
has let a contract to Marsh Brothers for
pany have acquirred by purchase and
Propose to restore to its statusof a few
years ago when it was a paying mine,
‘THE MOUNTAINEER.
Sixty men are working in and about
the Mountaineer mine, and that mine
because of its natural richness added to
Superintendent Dennis good management
is not only turning out encugh gold to
pay all these men liberal wages’ and to
meet the many other expenses of conducting such an extensive property, but to
give the stockhol Jers substantial and frequent dividends, Work is just now boing carried on at the 300, 400, 700 and
850 levels. The drifts at the 400, 700
and 850 are being driven both north and
south from the shaft. Fifteen stamps
have all they can doto ‘crush the large
quantities of fine ore that are coining
out, .
THE NEVADA CITY,
The Nevada City continues to. be ina
highly satisfactory condition; Work is
being prosecuted on the 100, 300, 400
und 500 levels from the north or new
shaft on the hill, Ore of @ profitable
grade is being extracted in such quantities as to keep the ten-stamp mill going
all the time. ‘I'he ledge varies from two
feet on the upper level to sixteen
on the 500. An entirely new four-foot
vein of good appearance has just bee.
encountered in the face of the 400 drift.
About forty men.are employed. During
the past. year much dead work has been
done in addition to that found necessary
in extending and opening up the drifts,
The drain tunnel, reaching from Deer
creek through the Wyoming ground to
the old shaft, a distance of 3000 feet,
has been repaired and retimbered wherever necessary, and the old shaft, which
is down 1000 feet, has been put in prime
condition to a point 350 feet beluw the
surface, where the tunnel connects with
it. It is said to be Superintendent
Shoecraft’s intention to re-open the ‘‘old
mine” through this shaft next year,
which will necessitate the erection of
powerful pumping and hoisting machinery; and that the conditions and
prospects fully warrant such a step is
evidenced by the fact that that. portion
of the claim has yielded such large quan:
tities of gold in yeara gone by, and that
work upon the ledge there (which has
been well developed, leaving some large
and rich ore bodies ready for stoping,)
was suspended summarily by a former
superintendent . the machinery
then in use was not powerful enough for
the service required, and the resources
for purchasing a new plant were not
available.
.THE WYOMING,
The recent resumption of operations
at the Wyoming under direction of Superintendent Buffington is pretty certain
to be attended with pleasing results to
the owners who have heretofore made so
much money cut of this property, and to
the people of Nevada. City to whom it
was for so long a fruitful source of ingome by reason of ite liberal disbursements here for labor and supplies. Mr.
Buftington has force of men engaged in
prospecting by u shaft on the southerly
short time ago they struck a large and
heavily mineralized ledge that is declared
by practical and experienced» men who
hav’ exaprined idvo gite every sign of
making the Wyoming a more productive
property than it wag in the palmiest
days of its early highly creditable
THK YELLOW DIAMOND,
At the Yellow Diamond on Rush creek,
& short distance west of this city, a tunnel is being run to cross-cut a promising
ledge that has formerly been profitably
worked by various parties who operated
in aamall way near the surface. The
ings covering hous :for vary powbrful

about 400 feet and will reach the main
ledge inside of twenty feet. Some very
rich spec'men ore was taken this week
from a stringer on the hanging wall.
THE MAYFLOWER.
The Mayflower Company at Canada
Hill have turee ledges. One of them
has just been sunk on to a depth of 100
feet and the quartz taken out of it paid
$35 a ton. A con'ract has now been let
to run drifts both ways from the shaft.
This is a sterling mine, needing only a
féw thouzand dollars of dévelopmnent
capital and a continuation ite present
good managem:nt to make a big und
‘aimous property of it.
THE NORTH BANNER.
Sixteen men are employed at the North
Banner, most of them on prospective
work. Efforts are being mainly directed
to developing on the 400 level the ledge
which yielded such good results’ nearer
the surface. Enough ore is being extracted to keep’the mill going about half
the time, and to thus defray expenses.
The North Bauner ig ‘all right, . you
bet,” as che political shrickers say.
THE EBAUGH LEDGE.
Schmidt & Co. are diving a tunnel
froin Deer creek to give 300 feet of backs
on this good ledge. They are stayers
and therefore pretty sure to reap a rich
reward cvcntually for their labour.
THE EAST BANNER.
At the East Banner, (long known as
the Foot ledge) a Park City, Utah, company are tuuneling to discover the dip
of the vein and the location of the pay
chute, © These points established they
will next put up hoisting and pumping
machinery and systematically develop
their splendid claim.
THY GOLD FLAT.
Supegiptendent Skewes is opening the
Gold t claim in @ methodical way
that is certain to bring the best of results. He has developed some very goed
ore, and a mill will be required soon.
THE GREEN BROS: CLAIM.
A San Fr party has bonded from
the Green Brothers of Indian Flat a
quartz ledgs near the Oro Fino location,
and will prospect it thoroughly by sinking and drifting. ‘
THE GREEN MOUNTAIN.
This claim is in Willow Valley district. It has u large ledge somewhat
mixed with base matter and broken near
the ap-x, but gaining -olidity with depth.
It is being worked by a tunnel from Deer
creek, and good ore is being extracted.
Like many more of our mining propositicns hereabout, the Green Mountain
eould be made an extensive prc ducer if
its owners had the money to equip; it
with machinery and open out its depths.
THE SPANISH,
The Spanish Company are pushing
work at their claim on Wood's ravine,
They are stoping on the first level and
prospecting below that poiut. The five
stamp mill is giving good returns. The
company is not hnancially strong, and is
going ahead in a slow but aure manner,
$338.
AT THE GRAVEL MINES.
The Odin Company ame —.: 2.
headway in opening their drift mine just
northeast of the city. The new steam
plaut is one of the best in the county.
The pump was started Monday. It
cleared the sump of water in twenty
minutes—a thing it would have taken
the pump formerly in use a week to do.
The machinery is all on the ground and
will soon be set up when the hoist will
start. ©. Weisenburger is in charge of
the building of the house to cover the
machinery, and he is of course making a
good job of it. On Tuesday an upraise
to tap the channel was staried from the
tunnel, and it is not at ell unreasonable
to presume that by the time winter is
over the mine will have taken a place
among the nuinerous profitable ventures
of this immediate locality.
THK MANZANITA.
At the Manzanita the tunnel being
driven fur the center of the mountain is
in 1000 feet from the foot of the incline,
or to within 250 feet of the-center. It is
contidently anticipsted that pay. dirt will
come into the drift during the next hundred feet. Upward borings show’ that
the bed-rock is pitching toward the mid
dle of the ridge. The last raise (made
at 970 feet in from the bottom of the
incline)tapped waph gravel only twelve
feet abuve the tunnel’s roof,
THE HARMONY.
Forty-two men are working at the
Harmony. Gravel is being breasted 250
feet east of the main.tunnel, and the
mill‘is crushing from thirty to forty tons
every twenty-four hours, its capacity being about sixty tons a day, however. The
gravel is crushed. very tine in_order to
prevent the lows of gold. In the portion of the channel now being breasted a
boulder 60 by 40 feet on top has come up
into, the floer*ef the workings, taking the
place of the bed-rock, and on this boulder
the gravel is comparatively thin, Yet
notwithatanding the presence of the
boulder, the company expect to take
something like $35,000 out of an area of
¢wo hundred feet square, and this amount
will not oily liquidate the existing indebtedness, but also leave a snug surplus
in tle treasury. The mill is run by
water, and this motor power will soon be
substituted for the steam machinery now
used.in connection with the hoisting ‘rig,
THE WEST HARMONY.
At the West Harmony there is a force
of 32-men. Gravel is being extracted
hfrem @ point between the main tnnnel
and the Tiptep claim which is the location next weat. The gravel is crashed
in a ten-stamp mill that rans steadily.
This mine, although a young one, 1s yielding more than enough bullion to pay our.
‘rent expenses, s 7
THR TIPTUP.
Thig property, purchased not long ago
by W. W. S:ow of San Francisco from
Capt. Rapp and W. F. Eaglebright, is
north of the Milliken ground aad adjoina
the West Harmony on the west. Ite
owner has put ins mile of good wagou

and has also graded preparatory to putting up pumping and hoisting machinery.
COLD SPRING AND FOUNTAIN HEAD,
Tne Cold Spring gravel location adjoins the East Harmony on the east and
is between the latter and the Fountain
Head. By a tunnel run 1300 feet into
ths Cold Spring ground a few yeara ago
several thousand dullars were taken out.
The face of thia tunnel is now ia the bed‘rock the natural raise of which is towards
and into the Fountain Head, as the fall of
the ‘‘dead river” was to the west. Recently a pany ted hoisting works
on the Fountain Head, sank eighty feet,
and then had to quit for lack of funds.
So ve of the best of our gravel miners are
firm in the opinion that if a consolidation of the Cold Spring and Fountain
Head claims could be brought about—
which would give 8000 feet along the
ridge and covering the supposed course
of the ch l—and the t 1 existing
at the lower end of the consolidation
could be enlarged and pushed to the east,
one of the largest and most profitable
drift mines on the coast would be the result. Such experienced and successful
gravel miners as F. A. Gourley ‘express
the strongest faith in the practicability
of the plan, and when men of that class
put the seal of approval upon a mining
proposition it is reasonably certain the
proposition is a safe one to embark in,
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The foregoing is but an incomplete resume of the stupendous mining interests
of the section immediately contiguous to
Nevada City. Mention of scores of promising enterprises now under way, and
which will in time result in the development of rich and lasting mines, is intentionally omitted here, that they may be
treated upon later in the*complete and
careful manner that their merits warrant.
The facta given in this article are obtained from conservative and well-posted
men who could not in a single instance
have a motive for exaggeration or misrepreseritation of any kind; and the writing
has been done with a determnation to’
avoid sensationalism and te. present the
situation in the plainest and most moderate. language. It the reader finds any
errora as to facts or figures he can depend
upon it tnat they are, unintentional and
incons: quential. §
This publication shows everybody conclusively that never before in her more
than forty’ years’ career as a gold mining
ceuter has Nevada City’s status in that
respect been so firmly and _lastingly
established as it is today. Never before
at any one time has so much capital been
actively engaged in developing our mineral resources, and never before have we
had so many dividend-paying mines.
x
In very early times there were thousands of placer miners on our hills, and
they quickly cleaned off the major part
of the gold that was on or close to the
surface; but now men are combining
their nerve and coin and pushing into the
bowels of the earth, hundreds and thouwands of feet beneath the grassroots, and
here finding’ ~ : faust
bearing gravel and gold-bearing ore as
the moat imaginative and hopeful pioneer
never dreamed of in his most optimistic
moments—such leads and lodes of royal
metal that generations of the most industrious and untiring delvers will strive in
vain to monopolize their enticing, endless wealth.
Ampung the most important enterprises
yet projected in conjunction with the
mining business of thia part of Nevada
county, is the South Yuba Water Com
pany’s contemplate plan for putting
in one or more electric power plants with
which: to supply the mines hereabout
with the sileat but effective motor, — It
is ascertained from a reliable source that
the Oompany are making an investigation of the subject with a view to ascertaining if the probable demand for such
power will warrant the expenditure involved, The water now flowing through
the company’s ditches in this county
could be used for running the electrical
works and then permitied te flow on
down into the Placercounty region
where there is demand for all that cau be
supplied. ‘The prive to the miners for
electricity would be, according #6 the
same as is now eee a for water.
The revival in this district of drift
mining, which branch of the industry has
become so important a factor in our fair
city’s present prosperity, can be ina very
large degree credited to the influence of
one inan, For years past Mong, A. Isoard
has invested every cent he ‘ould earn
over his bare living expenses in prospecting’ along the Manzanita or Harmony
ridge. He not only spent his meuey there,
but he talked varly and late in trying to
convince others that the region was rich in
golden treasure. He tried time and
again to interest individuals ahd combinations of individuals to join with him
in giving the section a square prospecting
ao as to determine once for all if it really
had a value, A few starts that promised
well for awhile were made, bnt after a
brief period ‘the enthusiasm or the funds
(and sometimes both ) of his assuciates
would ‘‘peter out” before what Mr.
Isoard considered a fair test had been
made, and he was again left all alone to
try over agaiu, Bar-room prospectors
would sit around aud covertly sneer at
hris-blind faith, and street-corner miners
would openly declare him a dréamer with
an intangible hobby; but he kept on trying, his earnest, * logical arguments
gradually bringing to his ways of thinking one convert and then another, until
atiast the Harmony Company was organized, went to work and in a comparatively short time verified the correctness
of his ideas, To-day it would be hard to
find around: here a man who does not
solennly protest that he always -knew
the ridge was rich as Crasus. Yet the
fact remains that if it had not been for
citizen Iscard’s faith being of the kind
‘that removes mountains, the men who so
company’s estimates thas far, about the
solemnly protest as above set forth would
probably not have lived long enough to
prove there was any foundation for their
protestations.

THE DELHI DISTRICT.
4 Good Outlook For the Mines Around
Columbia Hill.
The quartz mining region on the Mlddie Yuba River and Grizciy Canyon is
tributary to this city, and as a consequence when the claims there are doing
well a fair share of their output finds its
way by one means or another into the
aot unwilling hands of the county seat
denizens. :
The Delhi, whigh used to be so. productive but has for awhile until quite
recently been treated rather harshly by
the fates, is again rising to. the top of the
waves of prosperity. One thousand feet
in from the mouth of the 1500 feet tunnel
the compiny recently sank thirty feet
and found a big ledge the ore which milla
over $30 a ton. Hoisting a:d pumping
machinery is tu be pul in thé tuniel this
falland the shaft wall be sunk toa
depth of 150 feet where drifts will be
started,
At the Enterprise, west of the Delhi,
over two yeara of faithful and expensive
prospecting resulted last week in the
striking of a large and good ledge. The
company had about concluded to ‘‘throw
up the spoige,” when the strike was
> made,
Years ago, in the Live Oak which is
ahalf mile west of the Enterprise, a tunuel was run and a ledge eight feet or
more thick was found. ‘Recently a San
Jose company bonded the property and
taking a crushing from the ledge had it
milled at the Delhi with good results.
The company have laid in supplies and
will thoroughly prospect the property
this winter.
The St. Gothard shaft, down 490 feet
on the ledge, is now being “sunk deeper
by contract. The tunnel from Grizzly
Canyon will connect with the shaft at a
perpendicular depth of about 30) feet,
The mine is looking so well that the
stockholders feel convinced they will be
eventually well repaid for ali their outlay of money as well as for the risk they
took in embarking in the venture,
The Grizzly Ridge of McAuslan mine
on the Middle Yuba river below the Live
Osk is owned by residents of this city
aud North Bloomfleltt There are two
ledges i the location, one a large one of
fair grade and the other smaller but
abounding in “specimen” ore, There is
now on the dump forty tons_of quarts
ready to crush. It shows well in free
gold and the miners estimate it will
pay from $30 to $40 a ton. This mine
gives every sign of proving a big ono,
and it is being opened in good style.
