Goetz, who. is now in Nevada City. “The former owners: were Captain Hieatt of Oakland; A. D. Allan, . John T. Morgan, George E. Turner and. Edwin Tilley, of this city. : . All the money has been paid, but the price is not made public. The purchasers have had the mine bonded for some time® for $30,000. The company has plenty of capital and intends to work the property on an extensive scale. ,As soon as the mine is. pumped . out, work will begin underground. In the “meantime the hoisting plant will be overhauled and put in thorough working: order. : Some years ago the Texas was worked taken out that yielded as high as $25 per ton by mill process.

Situated near the Texas are the Morgan and Tilley mine and the Niagara, and some of the Texas ledges ran through these mines, the character of the quartz being generally good. The resumption of operations and the systematic opening up of the Texas will give new life to the quartz mining industry in that district, and may be the means of other mines in that locality being worked at no distant day.

He applied the usual poultice to draw it to a head. and today, in trying to squeeze out the matter, the troublesome piece of steel came forth.
