These phases, while they will be clear to the investigator of the future in looking back, are not evident to the contemporary observer, unless he be a close student of the mineral = situation in California, and of an imaginative and speculatve temperament. ~Two distinct phases have already passed ina period of about 75 years. The third, and probably greatest and most proseprous phase, is just beginning. Going back to the days of 1849 when the rich placers were discovered. we find the first phase. The romantic and economically . -wasteful epoch, when the discovery of wealth turned everything topsy-turvy, brought about a complete disorganization of industry and husbandry as well as a sort of social-demoralization. Only the richest surface workings were given’ any attention those days, and methods of operating were wasteful and crude. — Those were the days when Sutter attempted to drive the founders of Sacramento off his domain, known as New Helvetia. Sacramento sprang into existence almost overnight. Sutproperty. Finally the city went on its commercial way in complete disregard of his legal attempts to regain ownership. Indignant citizens had ostracised him and burned his ranch houses. He retired, a broken and mentally deranged man These were the days when Gen. Fremont acquired’ his vast Mariposa Estate, the gold resources of which opened the way for his active and notable career in national politics. It took many* years to exhaust the rich surface placers of California, although the methods of that time were only scratching the gurface, Then began the _ systematic study of these surface placers and geological investigations, showing the ancient origin of the enrichment. Then came the second great phase when geological investigation had revealed the existence of the large and rich gravel deposits in the ancient stream channels. These deposits were found in ledges high up in the Sierras andbeneath strata of lava where they had. been. buried byvolcanic action. This mining was only posible to large companies organized for the great amount of work necessary; -but the returns were rich. For many years dredging and hydraulic in California went cn ata tremenduous and highly prolific rate. Then opposition arose from the agricultural — settlers whose orchards and vineyards were placer mining being destroyed. The detetrious wash from the placers was filiing streams diverting water supply and ruining properties. For years legislative battles were fought for and against placer dredging. Eventually the farmers won and, although the rich placers were far from exhausted, new. regulations and_ restriction made operations so costly that mining fell into decadence. This closed the second great phase. In the meantime, the great primal source of the rich gold deposits had been discovered in a quartz and serpentine lode system extending for miles along the Sierra Nevada mountains. This was the virgin deposit, of ingeous and voleanic origin which through ages of erosion and chemical. disintergration had enriched the sand and gravel placers of the mountain slopes and valleys. Then dawned the third great phase of gold mining in California, that of quartz and deep rock mining. This phase of activity has been steadily but slowly expanding over a period of some years, but has as yet not -explored the vast deposit called the Mother Lode. Mineralization of the Mother Lode has alresdy been defined over an area of 70 miles in length and several miles wide, but the actual extent of this deposit is not known. Deep mining operations have been carried on actively on the Northern Mother Lode for many years and it has been found that values have persisted to great depths.—Mariposa Gazette.

POCKETS: While mining within 1000 feet of the historic site of Mark Twain’s Cabin at Jackass Hill, Henry Bernard has struck it rich in the Atlas mine. Several months ago the lucky miner found a pocket of gold that netted nearly $3,000. Then. he sunk a fifty foot shaft and last wek took out nearly $8,000 worth this ,time ;making the total value of the. two ;finds amount to 10,705, The Atlas mine also has a good big vein-of milling ore which needs development to make it a good producer. This is the mine which was oper;ated by the Atlas Mining Company under the superintendency of J. lL. Witney. about twelve years ago.— Sonora Union Democrat. NATIONAL LEAD COMPANY The entry of the National Lead Company into the Mariposa county field and utilizing a vast deposit of barium or baryites in the production of paint calls to mind that the Democrat mine in Nevada ¢éounty now operated by the Glidden paint interests opened the way for the utilization of one of California’s practically undeveloped mineral re. sources. The National interests have purchased the property at El Portal heretofore operated by R. A. Fredericks. The raw product has been used for the manufacture of barium peroxide and in this form is said to be the best peroxide produced. It is used also ‘as a curative agent and filler in automobile tires, manufacture of linoleum, oil cloth, imitation ivory, as an insulator for X-Rays in operating rooms, in the manufac: ture of glass, making the glass more elastic and very clear, for glass bottles used in storing toxins and in making internal X-Rays instead of bismuth: Ba.rium carbonate is used extensively in sugur-refining in the making of pottery glazes and in the WS! Le SISKIYOU COUNTY The cinnabar mine at Garretson's Springs is being reopened. Mr. H. F. McClellan secured the mine Mrs. A. M. Cogwill i ago. It is considered a rich mine of this ore.-A 6-tube retort will be installed thig fall that will have a 50-ton capacity. Two tons. of ore are now being’ taken which runs 3 per cent. The ledge is 6 feet in width. It is expected that 15 men will be employed this fall when all plans are complete. A large amount of machinery is being installed at the Hathaway mine near Callahan. A new mill is being put up on the property. Gordon Magee of Los Angeles is interested. EL DORADO COUNTY The Van Hooker and Hamon mining properties adjoining Placerville, which are, under. bond and lease to John A.

The find was made 700 ENTERS MARIPOSA FIELD feet from the adit in the 1100 foot tunnel. A mill is contemplated. MARIPOSA COUNTY A two foot vein-carrying values up to $250 is reported opened in the Ieliciana mine. The Clearinghouse mine on the Merced river which has been a ‘consistent dividend payer is working down to the 1200 level and is the] deepest quartz mine in the county. A new ore body is said to have been uncovered on the 900 level at the Virginia mine near Coulterville. Unwatering is going on below the 900 level. : TUOLUMNEB. COUNTY The Star mine in the Rose Creek section has been taken over by a new company with Waldemar Zindars in charge of operations. The 1800 foot tunnel at the Morris mine at Browns -Flat has been opened up again and put in repair. Some prospecting is being done. CALAVERAS COUNTY Twenty stamps of the Mill of the Royal mine at Hodson are to be placed on a 24 hour basis with large ore reserves. blocked .out on the 700 level.

A bulldog is seldom troubled by small boys tying tin cans to his tail. If a man loves fighting all he needs to do is to begin to tell the truth. Quite appropriate that vacations should be called ‘‘outings’’, since the tourists usually return ‘‘out’’ of cash. The flea has no_ honor. He is probably the world’s. greatest backbiter.

Towner is superintendent in charge of operations. Gravel mining in this county is showing up well. The Vallecito Western is preparing for. a large run. A trommel is being installed to handle extra tonnage. The Manuel ranch which adjoins the Western has been taken under bond. Thomas Brophy has taken a bond on the Grenitta ranch while Oscar Hellstrom has bonded the Frank Davies property. Drilling operations are being prosecuted on the Garland ranch to loeate the channel.
