The Mining and Scientific Press. 24 “White Pine Summary. Continued had weather during the past few weeks lias given idlo peoplo and eorrespondonts antple oceasion to see tho future of Whito Pine in its most unfavorable light; the results heing visible in a still larger proportion of unfavorable editorials this week, in our exchanges from this State, ns well ns from Nevada. Rumors are cirenlating in this city that the half dozen lending chlorido mines havo been sucking their rich ores, to send below, and to New York, with a view to selling the mines on the strength of what has heen fonnd near the surface. In certain quarters a growing confidence iu tho base metal ronge is also noticeable. White Pine stock has heen selling vory slowly, in San Francisco as well as in New York ; so that there is no danger of the Whito Pine minea being valned for much more than they will provo to be worth, except by those who huve gone into mining as they would into gaming. Travel on the Central Pacific Hailroad has fallen off twenty per cent., and tbe tent makers iu this city,—who nre furnishing the housing for the summer’a army of occupation in our great interior— report a marked decrease in their orders. Freight to Hamilton has heen reduced from 30 to 20 cents per pouud, All kinds of goods, and especially stores, are very cheap at White Pine. No very marked increase is shown in the shipments of bullion, the totel to date, from White Pine district, heing nbout a million nnd a quarter. Rico DrevevorpmMents—Tur Caurrornta. The White Pine News of April 7th, says the Cnlifornia mine rivals the Eberhardt in extent and the quality of its ore. ‘The California is situated on a low bench of Treasnre Hill, half a mile east of Shermantown. The ledge is stripped for 100 feet,nnd is abont forty-five fect in width. The ore was covered hy four or five inches of dirt, which being removed leaves the whole surface of the ledge exposed, and tho entire mass is ood milling ore, running by assay from $100 to $8,000 pertou. * * “Inland Limpire. April 2d, says of the California: Some idea of the wonderful ricliness of this mine may be gathered from the fact that the ore—a mass of argillaceous matter, resembling amalgam—after stripping off the surface dirt, is shoveled iuto sacks, and that much of it, by the simple process of smeltinz, yields from $3 to $£ per pound. A ball of this ore submitted to the blowpipe is almost instuntly covered over with glohules of pure silver. The most wonderful feature of the minc, however, is the vast quantity of this rich ore now in sight. Buack Horner.—This claim at the southern point of Treasure Hill, was recently, says the Eimpire, the scene of some excitoment in consequence of the development of a mass of chloride ore four feet wide “* whieh is fully equal to the richest of the Eherhardt or California.” * * Same of 4th says: We understand that the owners of the California mino have put meu to work to ascertain whether the Black Hornet isa spnr of the California or a distinct lead. The owners of the Black Hornet are perfectly satisfied with the arrangement, as they kuow that there are 50 feet of solid limestouo between the two leads, similar in character and rich heyond computation. Stanpine Sronz.—Himpire of 2d, says: “ Dr. S. A. McMeans has taken the superinteudency of the Standing Stone mine, at Mahogany Grove or Eberhardt City.” * * Same of 4th: ‘We understand that Dr, McMeans has struck the pure stuff in his Stauding Stone mine nt Eberhardt City. Hor tho workmen have taken out cousiderable qunntities of metallic silver, and the Doctor has extended an invitation to a number of friends to visit the miue to-day and aee the curiosity. Mrxor Irems—Litrttz Monrtor.—Thia mine, which is located on the Califorvia belt, presents very encouraging prospects, and ere long may fully equal in richness the California or Black Hornet. * * Recently the Great Union Tunneling Co. advertised for sealed proposals to drive a tunnel in a distance of 200 feet, with the privilege on the part of the bidder to continue the tunnel to 500 feet. Over forty bids were put in. Lapy Wasuineton, No. 3.—Col. John Kerr, Supterintendeut aud one of the principal owners of this mine, situated near Eberhardt City, is pushing work upon it with vigor and with the most flattering success, <A largo body of very tine chloride has heen devclopod. Buurion. — Wells, Fargo & Co. dispatched from tho Hamilton office, yesterday, six hars of bullion, valued at $12,000, Sracex Warer.—T, M. Luther and Jerry Huey have been engaged in driving a tunnelin tho ravine below Shermantown for the purpose of procuring a supply of water for milling. We learn from the News of the 7th that their efforts have been successful. * * The quartz mill at Shermantown, built hy L. B. Mooro and GC. O. Barker—formerly the Butte of New York Caton, north of Austin—has recently becn purchased by Drake & Applegarth for the sum of $40 000, New Tunnevina Co.—The California State Tunneling and Mining Co. have undertaken to penetrate Treasure Hill from n point about 1,000 feet south of the Eberhardt, running nearly north for a distance of 2,400 feet, and terminating beneath Pogonip Plat. It will make a alight deflection to the west, in order to pass the main Eberhardt ground, but will pierce the west extension of that mine at a depth of 400 feet from the surface. There are a great number of good mines along the line of the proposed tunnel. Work has already been commenced and the discovery of a promising ledge was made at the start. They claim tho exclusive right of tunnelway for a width of 100 feet on each side of their line, ond will claim 2,400 feet on each ledge they may discover. The members of this company chietiy hail from the valley of San José, Cal. Buack CLoup.—White Pine News, April 7th: The Black Clond is situated on the southern slope of Treasnre Hill, a short distance south of the Eberhardt. Yesterday we learned that a rich strike had been made in the Black Cloud at a depth of but fifteen feet, and another nearer the surface. Bicas.—In the Biggs’ mine, about half a mile from here, rock has been blasted out which is pronounced good by experts. On the Treasure Street Range blasting is continuous, and the exhibitions are such as to encourage those engaged iu its exploration, We have heard of some fine discoveries near the Argyle claim at Treasure, but the particulars are, for the nonce, withheld,—Jnland Empire, 9th. ’ “Vern” vs. ‘‘Deposit.”—-The White Pine News of April 8d says: Those who contend that the silver ores of Treasure Hill are only in small deposits, and not in fissure veins, would do well to examine the vein containing the Phoenix, Parker and Featherstone mines. On the grade leading to the Hamilton is seen the opening of the Phoenix, which attracts attention from the regularity of its formation and the richness of itsores. The opening is not very extensive, but some forty or fifty tons of very valuable ore is walled up hy the side of the road. The foot wall aeems the only one found, and from appearances we ahould judge the main ledge to be about 50 feet in thickness. Tracing the vein northerly, the Parker, which is an extension of the Phoenix, is found. , Still further to the north is the Featberstone. Here the vein is more thoroughly opened. Any one examining it will not hesitate to pronounce it a true vein of great size and value. Its casings are as distinctly marked a; the leaves of a book, and its strike and pitch regular. Rozinson Disrrict.—A private letter of date March 30th, descrihes this district and its advantageous situation, It is seven miles from Steptoe Valley, oue of the finest in tho State. It is 30 miles east of Hamilton, although it is 45 miles travol from that place. Among its ledges, the Elijah is 18 feet wide, and essays from $300 to $400 per ton. The City of London, the Rio Grande, and the Flying Cloud, all have croppiugs from 10 to 50 feet high. The} writer goes on to say: ‘‘ thoreis more metal in sight here than . ever sawin the Savage, Cnrry, and all the mines put together ; plenty of wood and water, good roads and grass, and also a salt mine, and ores can be reduced as cheap here as in Washoe.” Sysrematic Expioration.—Ou Mouday last there left Sacramento, says the Union, for White Pine district, a scientifie expedition composed of Lientenant-Colonel C. S. Drew and J. W. Drew, late of the United Statea Army; Frank E. Brown, geologist ; Willie Brown, Hermann Richter, aurveyov and topographer, and S. M. Holdredge, artist. They will remain in the field about three months, and probably extend their explorations as far sonth as the Colorado river. ‘hey have a complete outfit, including a thorough-brace Concord wagon and harness, etc,, for two or four animals, . saddles and equipments; portable furnace, chronometer, surveying instruments, batrometer, thermometers, chemicals, ete. Treasure City correspondeut of the San Francisco Herald : . New developments are being made daily. Yesterday I visited the Rogers mine, which is situnted about 2,000 feet helow the Eberhardt, on what is known ns East Eberhardt Hill. MNeeent developments have sbown it to bo one of the richest mines in the district, and so far as it has been developed, it shows a well defined fissure vein. It can he traced abont 500 feet. Three assays of tho oro have been made, ranging from $3882 to $1,000 perton. ‘The shaft is about five feet deep, and the opening about nine feet wido, which is the width of the ledge. The Enecklin mine is sitnated about 400 feet northeast of tho Eberhardt, and is coning into notoriety rapidly. They have no shaft down ahout 25 feet. They are now in good milling ore, and there is every appearanco of its becoming a second Eberhardt. It is, moreover, easy of access, Seymour Disrrrer.—Jrland Empire, of April 9th, says this district was discovered abont two months ago hy John Centers. The locality isin a line nearly duo south from Hamilton, and distont about 80 miles. It is not far from Patterson District. The ledges of Seymonr are from ten feet upward, the Black Warrior being abont 80 feet wide, so far as prospected. We were shown samples of the rock of the district yesterday, and have no hesitation in saying that whnt we saw is exceedingly rich. The Black Warrior lode has produced specimens which yielded over $5,000 to the ton. John Centers says be kept bis discoveries a secret as long as he could, and until he procured all the locations he wanted. He describes the country as being well wooded and watered. Catirornia Patents Issurp.—We give, to-day, quite a large list and description of patents issued to California inventors, for the week ending March 30th, and reported to us, especially, by our Washington agent.
