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. 4 when water from — . able in sufficient quantity. of Oakland, Calif., and associates at 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. — mer 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. Henry Goering was a great friend of The Nugget anda frequent visitor.

OGDEN BUYS DENSMORE MINE Excellent progress is being made toward the rehabilitation of the Densmore mine on the Stanislaus 'River, two and a half miles north. west of Columbia, acquired by pur. chase about three months ago by B. . A. Ogden of Sonora and. associates and since operated by them, after being idle for more than 30 years. An old drift tunnel of unknown lengtu ‘has thus far been cleaned out for a distance of 400 feet. This work is being continued in search of the downward continuation of what is known as the McKinney ore shoot, which on the surface and in the McKinney tunnel, about 200 feet above, shows a width varying from two to four feet and yields good values, it is stated. en}. vv Mr. and Mrs. R.

Geological conditions revealed by tthe new shaft work and a study of the upper workings, however, have waused them to change their plans and, in consequence, they have decided to defer new lateral operations until at least the 235-foot point has ween attained.
