is making “his home in Nevada City. FRED M. MILLER
A number of requests have come to The Nugget to refrain
{rom printing mining news and general boost news because it
brought unemployed men to Nevada City. This is little short of
yidiculous. Within the past few months the mining boom of
this section has been written up in practically every metropolitan paper in the state as well as in Reno, Nevada. If there
were no papers printed the news that the mines were working .
would travel via the old grape vine system. The unemployed
do not read The Nugget, but men who are interested in the
nines of this section do, as the letters printed in another sec”
tion of this paper testify.
This section is particularly fortunate in having as few unemployed problems as they do. Being off from the main lines they
do not get as many as do the towns situated on them. The editor made a trip to Chico a few weeks ago and there were
over a hundred men in the “jungles” outside of the city
limits. Every freight train is filled with men vainly seeking
work. Klamath Falls in Oregon is buliding a shelter for these
men and planning to feed them for three days at a time, after
which. they will have to move on. Other towns are doing a simiYar work, to relive the situation.

PROVIDENCE MINE TO REOPEN
Miners employed by Kim Crowley
the Providence mine, three miles
southeast of Tuolumne, being operated under lease and bond, have completed cleaning out and reconditioning a 300-foot drift tunnel advanced
in the Consuello section of the property a quarter of a century ago when
it was owned and worked by Lord
Charles Beresford of England. The
hore is being continued south from
the 300-foot point toward a junction
of two segments of the Providence
vein. Conditions prevailing in the
face indicate that the objective point
is being rapidly approached, it is
asserted. The work being prosecuted
is also designed to open up at a vertical depth of 300 feet two ore shoots
of promising value and appearance
exposed on the ‘surface of the Consuello claim and worked to a depth
On the other hand Nevada City’s business streets are busy.
‘The main streets are crowded with autos every day.
vacant stores, are opened. New houses are being built to meet
the demand of home seekers. As yet there is not enough to care
for those who desire to live here.
Shall we refrain from boosting our town in order to keep out
the unemployed? We would be like the old woman who tried
_ to sweep out the tide with the broom. :
The Nugget was established to boost California mines and
especially the mines of this district and we shall continue to do
so as long as the present publisher is in control. —

Death closed for Henry Goering a life long career as a mining man just as the. word came to him that the men who
held the lease on his Neocene property had broken thru the
hard rock and were into the channel. He had great faith in
his property and it was no
that his faith was being rewarded.
