Only those who have already done the requited $100 worth of labor on their claims, or have made improvements to that extent, gain in any way through the passing of the resolution. Another question which has come up in regard to. this matter is whether those who have done work amounting to $100 on their claims in the current year will be given ~eredit next yéar: “In the opinion of the bureau of public lands, under which this comes, there is na chance under the resolution that this can be done. The resolution itself is very brief, saying: “Resolved by the. Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the provision of section 2324 of the Revised Statutes of the United States which requires on each mining claim located, and until a patent has been is therefor, not less than $100 worthte labor to be performed, or improvements aggregating such amount to be made each year, bé, and the same is hefeby suspended as to all mining claims in the United States, including Alaska, during the fiseal year from July 1, 1931, to July:T, 1932." It was stated at the land bureau that no regulations in regard to the resolution would be issued and that the language of the act was so clear that it would not be necessary to file affidavits in regard to claims for exemption under the act. It was said, however, that purely as .a precautionary measure, it might be wise to file some such paper with the local offices. The resolution was not apprroved by the department of the interior, this, it is understood, being on the ground that all those who were financially able to do their work should do so in the interest of the unemployment situation. In a similar manner congress delayed the passage of the resolution until less than three weeks before the expiration of the fiscal year, 50 that companies or individuals who were able to do their assessment work would do so, and the relief would only go to those so hard hit by the depression that they were uney to handle even the $100 burden. \ it is stated that similar ngeasures have’ been proposed in Canada several times, but always beaten, as in that\ country’ literall ythousands o1 prospects depend on the money they earn in doing such work for others for the “grub stake’ on which they hope to make a fortune for themselves. : 0.

The plan of the new company will find a great area of the gravel deposit blocked and drained of surplus water accompanying the formations permitting the overhead sands to dry and pack, making possible the gravel extraction at a minimum cost, and unlimited daily quantities. These gravels will be transported from the point of recovery by means of an overhead conveyor system, through a tunnel approximately 3,000 feet to a reduction plant composed of two. reck.breakers .regulating the gravel sized, passing to five paddle mills, which reduced the gravels to a finer sand, then on to a system of concentration, where the finest gold particles which are free, as well as the pirites are saved and refined.

The ground will be elevated to a position which will assure the channel of the river bed from debris obstructions, the gravel will be washed at elevated positions and emponded in low lands developed by past dredger mining. The river has a large yardage of gravel, assuring the investment of a few years’. dividends if successfully terminating. Specimens of heavy sulphide ore are being exhibited in Oroville from the Gordon Hill mining district. A vein of large dimensions has been uncovered showing an assay value of $13.00 as reported, and can be traced for a great distance. The property can be developed from the canyon of the West Branch of the North Fork of Feather River, allowing a deep backing for gravity min ing or tunnel. system. The Gordon Hill mining district has shown lode values for 70 years.

MINEMAKES — BIG STRIKE Last Saturday a report was made that an important strike of gold bearing ore had been opened up in a winze below the 9,000-foot level in the North Star workings. According to information available a fivefoot shoot of rock carrying the good values was intercepted. The company has: sunk another 300 feet and ore was so promising that they have continued another 100 feet. It was in the 400-foot level that they run across this five-foot shoot of ore earrying good gold values. The company has been drifting on the 9,,300 level. been made. This strike is ¢onsidered of un: usual importance on account of the unusual depth. This mine has been in operation over 80 years and is thought to be the deepest gold mine in the United States. Arthur D.: Foote, engineer and superintendent of the North Star for many years, sunk the central shaft from which it is estmiated $35,000,000 was taken out.

West of Oroville is completing a drag line system to mine the river bar adjacent to the city of Oroville. A power line is being installed tu operate the necessary machinery which is reported to be in active operation in three weeks. This particular bar is presumed to be virgin ground, the prospecting which Mr. West has completed assures this opinion. The ground will be elevated to a position which will assure the channel of the river bed from debris obstructions, the gravel will be washed at elevated positions and emponded in low lands developed by past dredger mining. The river has a large yardage of gravel, assuring the investment of a few years’. dividends if successfully terminating. Specimens of heavy sulphide ore are being exhibited in Oroville from the Gordon Hill mining district. A vein of large dimensions has been uncovered showing an assay value of $13.00 as reported, and can be traced for a great distance. The property can be developed from the canyon of the West Branch of the North Fork of Feather River, allowing a deep backing for gravity min ing or tunnel. system. The Gordon Hill mining district has shown lode values for 70 years. Surface workings uncovered very high grade ore in the past and is reasonably presumed that deeper development will uncover permanent. deposits of gold ores. > The thorough prospecting of a tract of land owned by the Realty Company, citrus land owners of Oroville, is now under headway to de termine the values of these lands for mining purposes under the drag line system of operating. The property is under option to Horas Onyett of Oroville. The yalues as reported are most flattering, and the drag line system will be immediately installed as reported by Onyett. Profitable mining of this land wiil open a field covering a vast acreage for gold exploitation. The land has a depth of 18 feet.
