La 281 —= {Wrinten for Ite Minlng and SeleuUde Press.) The Cement Mills and Claims around You Bet. Messrs. Epiroas :—Sceing in a recent number of your valuablo paper somo mention about cement claims,nod your wish for somo reliable information concerning thom, I wil] take pleasnro in giving you snme from personul experience and observation. ‘here is in this State probably no section so rich and extensive as the vicinity of You Bet, in this deacriptiun of mining ground. As an ovidence of this, I huve only to stato the fuct, that within tho circuit of two miles of this placo there ure thirteen mills in active operution, etushiug cement gravel. I will give you some account of the regults of theso mills und their crushings : First—ldward Williams & Co., a 12-stamp steam inill, joining the well known Mallory & Co's claims, cleans up from $1,000 tno $2,500 per week, and the averago expenses amount. to abont $600 per week. Second—Drown Bros & Co., an 8-stamp mill, driven by tho co-called hurdy-gurdy wuter wheel. ‘his company has made splendid runs, from $1,000 to $3,200 per week, with un average expense of ubout $500 per week. This is a very large cluim, und is good for a number of years. Third—Neeca & West, a 10-stamp mill, with improved hardy gurdy wheel water power. This company, about the first of January lust, struck some of the richest blue gravel ever met with, and are cleaning up from $3,000 to to $10,000 per week, at an average weekly expense of about $600. This bas always been considered tho best paying claim bere, for it has been paying and worked continually about fourtecn years. Its superiority over other claims consists also in the fact that after drift out their bottom bed of blue gravel, it will, by the breaking of the hill, be one of the best hydraulic claims in the State, for tbe top stratas have always paid large for piping. The blue gravel is actually as rich, if not richer, than the celebrated blue gravel claim ip Smartsville, Yuba county, with which mino I have been acquainted since 1855. But, as you well know,a@ claim that is worked by such heavy blasting and with such a large quantity of water us the Smarteville claim uses, must in the same amount of time wash out ten times as much gold as a 10-stamp mill can crush out with one man feeding it. The quantity of dirt crushedin sucha mill‘in one week could be washed iu the Sinartsville claim with 600 inches of water, in a couple of hours, if not in less time. 4th. Buckman Bros. & Co.; an 8.stamp mill, hurdy wheel power This company is making money steadily, taking out from $800 to $2,000 per week with an average expense of ubout $450. ‘This is an extensive claim, and will last a very long time, and is the first claim which tried the hurdy water wheel, as applied to crushing mills. hey proved it a perfect suceess by running eight stamps of 800 pounds each, seventy-five drops per minute, with thirty iaches of water, under 230 feet pressure (this being the average pressure obtainable by all the claims using mills here.) : But perbapsI am making this article too long, so mucli so as to prove tronblesome; therefore Tghall stop, as it would require much more gpuce than you will be able to devoto to a aingle letter, to give you anything like a brief account of all the mills and claims in this vicinity. Should you see ft to publish this yon can doso,and let me assnre yon that the abovo are strict lucts, and can be easily ascertained. Tt acceptable, J will take pleasure in sending yon some further accunnts trom the Brot Leap.
