AN OLD BONANZA.
A Famous GoldProducer in thie} est to s.
Sixties
An Ohfo Company. Getting Ready To
Start it up Again—Chances
Favorable For Success.
Manager H.K. Shockley of the’ Phoenix , Mining, & Improvement Company is growding the work of. re-opening the old Sneath and Clay mine, near
the railroad trestle on Gold Flat. The
old hoisting and pumping plant is being reconstracted and a new two story
building 110 by. 40 feet is to be erected,
the Miners Foundry having the contract
for all this work. The machivery wil!
be run by electricity or water power, as
may be determined Jater, but the steam
engine heretofore used will be-left in to
‘b> resorted to in case the regular power
fails at any. time.
It is anticipated that by the middle
of October the machinery will be in
readiness, and that about two weeks
will be required in which to pump the
old works. dry. Then the sinking of
the shaft and the running of drifts to
. the north will be proceeded with, The
present shaft ie down 470. feet on the
incline, giving, a vertical depth over 150
feet. It was pumped out the last time
six years ago, and was then in good
condition. It is not likely that any
‘very extensive repairs, wil be required
mow.
The old drain tunnel is being reopened and put in first-class shape.
A substantial flume three feet deep
and of the same width has_just.been
completed, It, leads from. the, head of:
Hitchcock ravine. to.a point just below
the Narrow Gauge, trestle.. This flume:
will carry.alj the. aurface water.during
the rainy season from. the hills. ahove
the ravine, The , bed of the . stream
passes directly over. the. under-gronnd
workings, and withont.the flume. there
would be much sipage.
‘When the ledge has been sufficiently
prospected and opened up to render
such a step necessary. the old’ twelve
stamp mill will be entirely. reconstructed into a ten stamp mill. Much
of the machinery including the stamps,
is as good as it was the day; it. was put
4n place, but there is a vast.quantity of
:antiquated gold-saving apparatus that
«will give place to modern and effective
«contrivances.
The property. was recently purchased
‘from Lord Housman, and was capitalized for $50,000 divided into 20,000
«shares. The stock is all paid up at par
walue and there is none forsale. It is
ymosily held by business men of Cincinmati, Ohio, the only. local shareholder
‘being Dr. A. H. Tickell.of this city who
is also. director.
Mr, Shockley is not a miner, but. has
‘had wide and successful experience in
conducting large enterprises. He will
gather about him a.corps, of reliable
and competent mining men, and everything so far as he has gone indicates
that the property will have. the most
skillful handling.
Local mining men familiar with = history of. the Sneath & Olay believe .
that it is a property of great value and
will .prove., yery renumerative to its
present owners. Some of the best pro-ducers in the district today were a few
years ago in much the same condition
:that this one has been for a good many
-yeats—idlé because of the imperfect
knowledge had in earlier times of work‘ing quartz formations, because of the
-crade and faulty apparatus at that time
used for the milling of ores, and be«cause of an old-time popular fallacy now
thoroughly exploded that the ledges
of the district did not. go down more
that 500 feet at best.
Bean’ (3 tory. of Nevada County, an
oft-qui authori publighed in 1867,

probably, than any mine in the . county
Mat that time, and the mine was con. Sidered ar t valuable. Clay, who
owned , Sold half of his interBirdseye: who paid $15,000
. down, in coin, and was to pay $45,000
more from the first profits accruing to
the interest. Birdseye subsequently
transferred the interest back to Clay
for the balance due, losing the amount
paid. In running the drifts along the
ledge, it was found that the rich chimney extended only about 150 feet, and
in the northerly drift the rock ran
down to five or six dollars a ton. The
mill kept running the most of, the,
time; but the owners were not able to!
agree, the Sneaths managed to spend:
more money than they made,.and we
believe mortgaged their interests, and
finally, in May, 1865, the mine and other
York and Grass Vailey Company, for
$27,000. The mill and hoisting works
had cost $45,000. Of the original owners, Clay was the only.one' who had any
money when they disposed of the property, though the yield up to that time
had been nearly $200,000, of which over
half had been profits. The mine has
been, worked steadily and systematically by the New York Company the
past two years, S. P. Leeds being the
superintendent until May, 1866, and
since then under the superintendency .
of Edward Dunscomb. It has never
paid as well as during the first few
months after the mill was started, bunt
has always returned a fair profit, the
rock at times yielding between $40 and
$50 a ton. The ledge has a westerly
dip, its general course being nearly
north and south, and lies very flat, the
angle of inclination being only twentythree degrees. The incline has been
run 400 feet down the slope of the
ledge, being a vertical depth of 150
feet. We have no knowledge as to the
extent of the levels and drifts underground; but if the ledge retains its
present angle of inclination it can be
lar depth would only be 1,500 feet. It
is thought by many, however, that the
westerly dip of the ledges on Gold Flat
has been caused by a convulsion and
displacement of the surface, and that,
when the workings extend to a certain
depth the dip will change to the east,
conforming to that of the other min“The ledge is irregular in size, but
will probably average something over
a foot in width. It has yielded during
the past year about 400 tons of ore per
month, and the average number of men
employed in the mine and mill is 48,
The mill has three batteries of four
stamps each, and is supplied witb ore
separators for concentrating sulphureis, with pans, Chili mills, and the
most approved appliances for amalgamating. The engine and machinery
were manufactured in a foundry at
