NRVADA CITY, NEVADA CO., CALIFORNIA TBIRTY YEARS AGO AND NOW. Great Progress Has Been Made in the Methods Employed in Mining,There is quite a difference. in the now ahd thirty years ago. When quartz mining was inaugurated in California says an exchange, ore that ran below a committed to the dumps as being ‘too low grade to work. Millions and millions of dollars of ore running from, $10 to $50 a ton were cast aside, The contrast also in the extravagant cost of plants for hoisting and handling ores is even more marked. When the Allison: Ranch mine was first opened the cost of the plant of forty stamps was $250,000. The mill then gave employment to forty men, who were paid from $5 to $20 a day, A new plant of even larger capacity was recently placed in another mine, which cost less than $30,000, with better miachinery and more perfect appliances, and such is the perfection to which automatic devices have been’ applied to this class of machinery that two men and a boy operated all the machinery and quite as effectively as forty men used to operate the old style. The ore being too poor to be worked is now regarded as rich enough for the present generation. Even ore that runs $4 per ton‘can be worked by present processes and at a profit. Years ago if 75 per . cent of gold was saved, it was considered a fairly good result; gow a manager who cannot save from 90 to 95 per: cent of gold is regarded as not being up to present standard, and has to back out: The perfection to which goid extrac-. tion has been brought and the economy: with which mining operations are now _ conducted are most encouraging. The increasing gold production of the State is thus accounted for. «eo Gored By a Wild Steer. Joe Barndoni, who drives beef cattle for Ed Hammel, had an exciting experience yesterday near You Bet. He was driving a “bunch” of cattle to this city, when a wild steer that was giving considerable trouble ‘turned on him.
