A gang of twenty Chinamen in January purchased some placer min. ing ground at French Gulch Nevada County,, for $11,000. This month from a three_weeks washing, they, cleaned up $30,000. In the Rainbow mine at Moores Flat, Nevada County was discovered ; : August 5 the richest gold pocket yet found in California. From it was extracted 1,962 pounds of quartz that yielded 551 pounds of gold, worth $116. 337.88 at the United States Mine. It was taken out in boulders’ one of which weighed 800 pounds . and produced more than $39,000.

OLD PLACER WORKINGS MATERIAL USED ON ‘meal A good illustration of what can be done toward removing unsightly piles of boulders left in the wake of a mining ‘dredge is shown. on the highway just at the south entrance to Yreka There, through the efforts of Supervisor M. E. Buckner, stands a huge pile of finely crushed rock con_ taining 4,500 yards and in place of a devastated area of old dredge land, is a stretch of land leveled for home sites.

Besides repossessing the land in' clearing and crushing the rock the product is of great value to the . county for road construction, and Supervisor Buckner has donated tons of it to the county. The Fort Jones road has been. ballasted as far as the Forest House and the Yreka_ ; Montague road as far as Shasta riv-! er. Tons of the crushed rock have gone into buildings for Yreka, the sand and rock for the county hos_ ' pital as well as many business buildings coming from this pile. The sand is from sand bars under the tailings and provides all qualities — from the finest to the coarsest grades; sifted during mining “opera tions. re 1 Mr. Buckner will continue using the crushed rock on the Yreka . mountain as far as the summit preparatory to oiling, and plans to use more of it on the Montague road. Perhaps the most gratifying re_ sults were those obtained on the . Oberlin road. A comparatively short time ago when one drove out for the beautiful view just beyond the golf links the road was rough and just at the point where visitors stopped to' admire the Mt. Shasta skyline was an unsightly array of tin cans and automobile skeletons. Now owing to rock magic the rubbish has become a fill, covered by a tine road made of material from the rockpile and ‘the road-is a joy from a scenic standpoint. Part of the old tailings from the . of gravel de-. dredge still remains but the hills of) Mining Company are Albert Ancker, rocks will be disposed of later. Having more crushed rock than is needed at present, the crushers are being used elsewhere. Part of the jmachinery is used by the county and the rest by Albert Young ,who has a big contract crushing at Pros_ pect. Through the’ supervisor’s effort] the road along the highway has been . filled although it took nearly a year the improvement.
