All held ander United States patents. ‘ The nearest railroad station is the ttown of Newcastle, 2%4 miles_dist.nt sand located on the main line of the Southern Pacific. The transcontinenthal Lincoln highway, U. S. Route 40, zalso passes through Newcastle and! “Auburn. ; The property is ideally located in tthe undulating foothills on the weste2rn Slope of the Sierra Nevada mounttaims at an elevation of 1000 feet. ‘The climate is perfect for mining soperation as there is no snow and wery little rain. The summers are ‘warm and the winters very mild. The property was formerly operattea c-by water power which was puré@hased from the Pacific Gas & Hlec“tric: company, whose ditches parallel the property for its entire length. Electric power is also obtainable “4rom this same company. ‘The property is fully equipped ‘with a 20-stamp.mill, hoisting work, «steam plant. "The Gold Blossom Consolidated "Mines have ‘been worked. intermit“tently since the gold rush days of ~49. The 49’ers ground sluiced the surface on both sides of the Gold Blossom vein right up to it. When tthe creek and surface deposits of salluvial gold was.exhausted the minvers began to realize that the gold ecame from the quartz vein adjacent to the erosion of these veins. " Wfence the Gold Blossom vein being the largest and most prominent cand most persistent vein of the district, it received attention from the sminer at a very early date. The earlSiest work was doné about 1856 as m@ear as the records can be traced at ithis late date. “ Their work consisted of ‘digging out the quartz for almost the entire Mength of the property. Their quartz “re was hauled to arrastras located zat. various places along the Auburn ravine where adequate water was -ayailable to furnish power to crusn the ore and wash it. Only fine gold “was recovered by their crude method of milling and very little of that. “The surface work done at this time twas quite extensive and the ore, dug must have had, must have been tremmendously rich to justify it. In most ecases they dug these open pits to “water level and were forced to quit. ‘Their method was to shovel the ore «nto a bench, tthen onto another bench and so on until it reached the wurface. In some cases they sunk shafts to depths of 40 or 60 feet with *@ windlass. Beyond this depth they -could not go as they could not handle whe water. The main fissure of the Gold Blos‘som is quite extensive, being trace: able on-the surface for several miles. It has an average width of 3% feet, «a strike of 80 degrees west of north, sand. dips’ at 85 degrees south from tthe horizontal. The walls, which are ‘granodioiter, changing to much finer :-zround syenite close to the vein. The Wein was apparently intended under ,®BROTMousS pressure, resulting ina «system of parallel and divergent vein *eing formed in close proximity to ‘the main vein. To the north the sys‘tem is parallel as shown by the Cra‘ter Hill and its continuation, the Oro Fino.; The Crater Hill diverges from tthe Gold Blossom near its west end sat an angle of 30 degrees, and dips south into the main fissure at an wangle of 41 degrees. Between the Crater Hill and the Gold Blossom ‘are many stringers and veins with a “parallel strike, and their dip vary‘ing from 30 to -45 degrees south. -Most of these veins show free gold. ‘To the south of the Gold Blossom wein the vein system is divergent at warying strikes and have a vertical «dip. Some of these veins attain a wwidth of 12 miles and assay exceptionally high. Free gold specimens sare’ often found in these veins “both north andsouth of the Gold -Blossom vein, notably in the Defiance vmine ,approximately 300 feet north tof the Harrison claim, where it is reported $3000 has been taken out of -20 feet of work, There is a striking similarity bethe Grass Valley district that is so apparent, when the geology of both districts are studied, that it cannot “help but attract attention.

Both districts encountered The history of mining operation, as carried on in the two districts; P. Bourn of Grass Valley with nerve enough and capital enough: to first put its mines down to the zone of secondary enrichment. Mr. W. B. Bourn took the North Star and Empire mines of Grass Valley and rejuvenated them after they had been idle for about ten years as exhausted and worked-out mines. short time he had them on a paying basis and they have produced enormous amounts of gold time and are still doing so. . This was in 1884. In a very since that The work at the Gold Blossom has been spasmodic as it was in the Grass Valley district as interest in mining waned and was revived again. ‘open cuts previously spoken of were ‘made in 1856. The property remained idle until about 1876 when a shaft was sunk to a depth of:about 300 feet The Near the west end of the property. Twelve thousand dollars was: reported to have peen realized from this work. Due to lack of equipment they were unable to handle the water so the mine was closed down. After laying idle for several years a new shaft was started at a point where the Crater Hill vein branches off from the main Gold Blossom vein. This shaft was. sunk to a depth of 275 feet and a ten-stamp mill was constructed. Considerable. ore was extracted which gave a return of about $2000,000. More property was acquired to the east. About this time, in an endeavor to recover a°greater percentage of values from the ores, the Chlorination process was tried. This proved to be a complete failure and cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. After this loss the mine was shut down. This was in 1888. The mine was again started.up in the latter part of 1889 asit was decided to construct blanket tables to catch the concentrates which here-tofore were allowed to go to waste. This proved a success and the property was again in profitable produrtion. In 1890 a pariner was. taken ih and given a half interest when he completed sip king new shaft to a feet east of the old shaft and constructing a new 20-stamp mill‘ with ment . From this shaft drifts were run at the 200, 300 and 400-foot levels to connect with the old works. Cohsiderable ore was blocked out and the mine developed in a proper manner. ahead and adequate ore _ reserves were blocked out. A tunnel was run from the surface to tap the ledge at a point about 600 feet east from the was taken from this drift, so good in fact that it was underhand stopea to considerable depth. gom bid fair to become one of the big producers of the state. depth of 500 feet, located about 1500 the necessary machinery and equipDevelopment work was carried . At about this time the Gold BlosThey of the property. The mill ran 17 months and the only accurate records of any production from the mine are from this run. The actual mint receipts show that the mine produced $135,052.51 in gold and silver. and the concenIn the ‘trates for this run gave $15,477.79! . additional. The average value of the j¢were Friday visitors at the home ‘ore milled on this run was $11.29. About this time one of the owners died and his heir got into litigation with the other partner. The mine was closed down in 1899 and has been closed ever since. During the late war an $80,000 lien was ‘placed against the interest of one of the partners which completely tied the property up. This lien has recently been removed and the mine is now in shape to be sold for the first time in about 32 years. Most of the work on the Gold Blossom has been done on the west end of the property while the only work done on the east end has been the surface scratching by open cuts. The extent of these cuts clearly indicate the presence of new ore shoots that are undeveloped. The old workings have wiz distinct ore shoots varying in length from 200 feet to 500 feet, and it appears as if they pitch east at an angle of 30 degrees. This latter fact, however, has not been fully proven due to the small extent of development work. It ig quite apparent that the multiplicity of parallel and divergent veins and stringers that branch off from the Gold Blossom have had a tendency to rob it of values that rightfully belong to it. These veins will come with the Gold Blossom at depth and will enrich it to a considerable extent. There is no doubt that the Gold Blossom vein-is the true-fissure vein main fissure of that: district. All the other veins branch off of it either in dip or strike. Most of them come back in again but some do. not. A glance at the map of this district clearly indicates this. As pointed out befare, the pressure of the Qphir mining district were formed by tremendous pressure from great depths which split the country jin an almost straigh . cut east and] west line and shattered ‘the surface} , on both sides of the: main fissure causing -faults ‘and slips. liquid silica flowed up through the main fissure filling it. and all the Parallel and divergent fissures with the ore maguma. All of which indicate great depth of ore deposition just as it exists in the exactly similar district of Grass Valiey. Let us hope that some man with brains enough, nerve enough and money enough can be. found to put the Ophir mining district down’ below the barren zone away from the grass roots and give this district a mine like the North Star and Empire just as W. B. Bourn did for Grass Valley when the mines were closel down as exhausted and depleted. new shaft. Exceptionally good ore HEADACHE You and . NEURALGIA Use Dr. Miles’ .
