The payroll has advanced during the month from $244,000, in round figures to $260,000 per month, New mines are recorded as way, with occasionally getthe season.

Machinery, lumber and other supplies are being moved into the property this month and a crew of eight to ten men will be employed during the winter season. FIRST PRODUCER OF HIGH GRADE The German Bar property consists of 96 acres, two patented claims and three others and has long been noted as the first producer of the “bonanza’’ ore which has made the AIleghany district famous. “The mine is the first in that district to havé been systematically worked and is said to have been in operation as early as 1851. There is a record of asmall mill at the mine which was carried away by the flood of the English Dam in 1882. $2000,000 PRODUCTION TO DATE ment. From the standpoint of the owner, Frank Davies, he stated yesterday . that the rehabilitation of the old . Transcript building, as an evidence or his faith, had already been amply justified. He invites all those who may be interested in, seeing this new structure under modernized condi-! . tions to call next Sunday between 10 o'clock in the morning in the afternoon, and he will show . them through it. He statés that}; every apartment and all the garages and store rooms have already been: rented, indicating Nevada City’s pressing need for more housing facilities. MOHAWK MINE BONDED. TO SAN FRANCISCO CO. The Mohawk mine, south of Nevada City which was recently bonded to a group of San Francisco capitalists by Captain: Ben A. Bost, has had a crew of seven men employed the last ten days reopening the property. Two shifts are working drifting east and west on the 200 foot level to connect up with two veins known to exist a short distance away. and 4 o’clock Due to cave-ins and other unfortunate mishaps ‘this mine was closed down from time to time. It is most favorably located as it is in the center of one of the richest sold producing districts in ihe county. Ore taken ‘out of the: bottom of} the shaft, just before’the big cave-in carried excellent values. , B. L. Eastman, superintendent and engineer, is in charge of operations. . Mr. Eastman has his crew hired . and no new mien are to be employed for some time to come. bank, From its original discovery to the present time, over $200,000 has been extracted according to the U. S. Geological Survey; this production camé mostly from the vein enrichments, most of the ore of milling grade being left in the various tunnels. There are in. all about 2000 feet of drifts and 500 feet of upraises, indicating that the ratio of production to development is about $80 a foot. The workings consist of three tunnels, the lowest close to the with two others 67 and 133 feet above. There are in all over 500 feet of backs with the vein proven for 2800 feet on the surface. TWO VEINS DEVELOPED Some of the production was derived from “mill rock”. having a tenor of about $15 a ton. The “mill, rock”’ stopes also yielded small bunches of high grade, the ore in which gold was associated with coarse arsenopyrite. “It is said that one stope of: bonanza ore in No. 4 tunnel, produced $26,000 and one in No. 2 tunnel, $16,000. Two veins have been developed— the German Bar vein, followed from the portal of the lower tunnel and the Wheeler vein, which is a short distance to the north and is °apparently joined by the German Bar vein towards the east. The principal vein, which averazes from a foot to over seven feet, strikes 70-80 W. and dipped 40-80 N. It follows a fault as there is gab‘bro on the hanging wall-side and conglomerate black slate, shist and tuft of the Kanaka formation along the footwal] in the western part.

It is generally agreed the city hall badly needs renovating. Last evening Howard Ross, build-ing contractor submitted figures for altering and painting the front of the city hall, and for remodeling its interior. : For modernizing and painting front, and installing plate glass windowns, his figure was $532. For altering the interior, repairing and improving it, his figure was $427, ro a total of $959 .It seemed to be the concensus of opinion among board members that this was more than _j les Guenther—Boulder, Park avenue .
