LXVI==NO. 10191 NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1893. : Established Sept. 6, 1860, by N. P. Brown & Co. HOW EDITOR GREEN Would Solve the Slickens Question —A, New Idea. The problem for ‘the Valley and the Mines has been what to do with the slickens. ‘There are thousands of acres of slickens in the Yuba and the Bear rivers between the foot-hills and their junctions with the Feather, that will, unless some means shall be adopted to prevent it, move on down into the lower river and the bay. The American basin has often been suggested as a settling basin, but how-get there? The Sacramento Bee of Nov. 24th, in giving an acceant of the trip of the Caminetti party has the following: — After the return to Marysville, the Yuba cut-off and the DeGuerre Point dam project were freely discussed by the travelers. Will 8. Green, editor of the Colusa Sun, expressed the opinion that without doubt the cut in the Yuba river will lower the high. water plane on the city’s levees, and, for the time, deliver it from the dangers of overflow. “It is understood,” said Mr. Green, ‘‘that the United States. Surveyers'are now at work surveying the Yuba river, or, rather, the territory, which’ is about three miles wide, between the levees, with a view of stopping in some way the debris now between the levees from being washed gown into the lower rivers, It is a fact that, since, the partial stoppage of hydraulic mining, the surface of this great body of some 30 square miles has been lowered, and, of course, it has gone into the lower rivers or ' the bay. It will all finally wash down unless in some way prevented.” “Let me suggest a plan,” continued the editor. ‘The plane of slickens is’ some eight or ten feet above the high land on either side of the river. Now, if a levee should be thrown up to the necessary highth, sume 500 or 600 feet from the levee on the south side of the river, and parallel to it, there would be a channel, the bottom of which would be eight or ten feet below the present channel, and the river would be turned into it. As there would be but one levee te build, it'would be cheap. Marysville would be, in that case, absolutely safe, for it would have the three-iniles-wide levee, that. has been built up by the slickens, between it and the river.”’ CREATING A NEW OASIS, “The present river bed,” said he, ‘or the miles of territory now given to the river, would be the highest land in the valley. The willows would grow upon it, and the leaves and root-rotting would soon giye it a vegetable element, so that it weuld be fertile again. If this channel of ‘the river fills up, move it again, and so keep on building up the country. The land is not rich on the south side, and the right of way would not cost a very large figure, ; “If the Yuba river could be carried alongside its present channel, and alongside south side of the Feather river, in this way until it could be debouched into the American basin, taking Bear river with ‘it, the slicken question might be solved. A right of way a mile wide would permit of several removals of the river to the south, and would postpone any danger fer year’s to come, ‘‘Neither would it be necessary to occupy . the whele of the American basin for a settling basin, Several thousand acrés could be purchased and a levee built around it, “~and the water, after being settled, could flow back over a weir into the Sacramento river.” + 00 Has Removed. Smith, the grocer, wants everybody to know that he has removed to his .uew store on Broad street, opposite the City Hall, where he prepeses to carry as fine a stock of groceries as can be feund in any establishment in Nevada county, Just received ten tons of new goods.

Gault’s Bakery. lt A ARR i Bought the Eagle Bird. F, Howard, a capitalist of Kansas City, Me., and E. Huhn, the San Francisco mining expert, have purchased the Eagle Bird quartz mine at Maybert. The new owners will resume work at the mine very soon, as heretofore mentioned by the Tuanscriet, Well Known Here. A. H, Mallory, whose death occurred at Dutch Flat a few days ago, was well known in this county, He was amiuing man and had accumulated considerable wealth, Of late he has made his home in London, Deceased was a native of New York, aged sixty-three years, and leaves a wife but no children, ve First-Class Work, Take your watches and jewelry to Gotpun's for repairs.

It will be a happy surprise to many people in Placer county to know that within another year Eastern Placer will have one of the largest quartz mines in California. This mine is the Sterrett mine located about 12 miles south of Cisco. Although this ledge has long been known to exist, it is only within the past two years that it has been systematically developed, The ledge is simply a monster in dimensions, At the surface there are two ledges separated by a dike and here each ledge has a width of 60 feet.’ 600 feetin from the surface the two ledges come together again in one formation and here the ledge is 70 feet in width. Tunnels have been run into the ledge from both the American river and: Sailor Canyon sides, 1000 feet each, and besides other prospecting has been done to satisfy the owners that the mine is a bonanza, At present men are at work opening up the mine and putting up buildings and getting out timbers for the large stamp mill and chlorination works te be put up in the spring. The huge ledge prospeets from one wall to the other both at the surface and all the way to the end of the 1000-foot tunnel. Although generally of a low grade ore, yielding in free gold $2 50a ton, yet it abounds in sulphurets. In some places the ledge is so mineralized that sulphurets can be takon out by the solid block of three and four feet, In: some places the ore has gone over $90 aton, altheugh it is generally of a low grade. Owing to the immense size of the ledge and its bearing free gold throughout, even the low grade ore can be worked at great profit. Besides with. chlorination works the sulphurets will pay well, The company owning the mine is composed of San Francisco and New York capitalists. Geo, 8. Montgomery, the well-known San Francisco millionaire, is at the head of the company and preparations are being made té put up an extensive stamp mill and chlorination works as soon as possible in the spring. A sixty-stamp mill will be put up at first. The Colfax Sentinel says five years ago this mine could have been bought for $150,000, this year the company was offered $1,(000,000 for it by Colorado capitalists. The company owns about 1100 feet of the ledge and have enough paying ore in sight to keep the sixty-stamp mill going for years, The development of the mine has been kept quiet, but the preparations have been going on steadily just the same.

A Gravel Mine on Which Work Has Been Resumed. : Work has been resumed on the Keystone gravel mine after a suspension of operations for several months. This mine is situated on the ranch of Thomas Hughes, on the old Grass Valley road, and is being worked by a Grass Valley company. They are driving a tunnel into the ridge from the Deer-creek side and expect to strike the channel before long, as it is known about where it runs, a shaft having been’ sunk on it some years age, but owing to the water encountered it was found impracticable’ to work the mine that way.’ The gravel was quite rich. It is supposed that this channel is the same one that extends down the ridge to Alta Hill, near Grass Valley, where it was worked in years past and preved to be very rich, The development of the Keystone is awaited with much interest by owners of land along the ridge on each side of this mine, as it will determine the general course and extent of the channel, as well as its richness. It is believed that the channel runs through the McKeon and Sutton ranches; in fact there is little doubt as to that, but whether the deposit is large enough to warrant working it by the drifting process is a question. As the land is valuable for agricultural purposes it is not probable that it will ever be hydraulicked unless found to be immensely rich. If the channel is deep and rich it can be drifted to advantage, without damage-to the surface. Race allnaL ore UBC Salvation Army Doings.

Although this ledge has long been known to exist, it is only within the past two years that it has been systematically developed, The ledge is simply a monster in dimensions, At the surface there are two ledges separated by a dike and here each ledge has a width of 60 feet.’ 600 feetin from the surface the two ledges come together again in one formation and here the ledge is 70 feet in width. Tunnels have been run into the ledge from both the American river and: Sailor Canyon sides, 1000 feet each, and besides other prospecting has been done to satisfy the owners that the mine is a bonanza, At present men are at work opening up the mine and putting up buildings and getting out timbers for the large stamp mill and chlorination works te be put up in the spring. The huge ledge prospeets from one wall to the other both at the surface and all the way to the end of the 1000-foot tunnel. Although generally of a low grade ore, yielding in free gold $2 50a ton, yet it abounds in sulphurets. In some places the ledge is so mineralized that sulphurets can be takon out by the solid block of three and four feet, In: some places the ore has gone over $90 aton, altheugh it is generally of a low grade. Owing to the immense size of the ledge and its bearing free gold throughout, even the low grade ore can be worked at great profit. Besides with. chlorination works the sulphurets will pay well, The company owning the mine is composed of San Francisco and New York capitalists. Geo, 8. Montgomery, the well-known San Francisco millionaire, is at the head of the company and preparations are being made té put up an extensive stamp mill and chlorination works as soon as possible in the spring. A sixty-stamp mill will be put up at first. The Colfax Sentinel says five years ago this mine could have been bought for $150,000, this year the company was offered $1,(000,000 for it by Colorado capitalists. The company owns about 1100 feet of the ledge and have enough paying ore in sight to keep the sixty-stamp mill going for years, The development of the mine has been kept quiet, but the preparations have been going on steadily just the same.

A Gravel Mine on Which Work Has Been Resumed. : Work has been resumed on the Keystone gravel mine after a suspension of operations for several months. This mine is situated on the ranch of Thomas Hughes, on the old Grass Valley road, and is being worked by a Grass Valley company. They are driving a tunnel into the ridge from the Deer-creek side and expect to strike the channel before long, as it is known about where it runs, a shaft having been’ sunk on it some years age, but owing to the water encountered it was found impracticable’ to work the mine that way.’ The gravel was quite rich. It is supposed that this channel is the same one that extends down the ridge to Alta Hill, near Grass Valley, where it was worked in years past and preved to be very rich, The development of the Keystone is awaited with much interest by owners of land along the ridge on each side of this mine, as it will determine the general course and extent of the channel, as well as its richness. It is believed that the channel runs through the McKeon and Sutton ranches; in fact there is little doubt as to that, but whether the deposit is large enough to warrant working it by the drifting process is a question. As the land is valuable for agricultural purposes it is not probable that it will ever be hydraulicked unless found to be immensely rich. If the channel is deep and rich it can be drifted to advantage, without damage-to the surface. Race allnaL ore UBC Salvation Army Doings.
