The speaker of the occasion was Assemblyman Roscoe,J. outstanding Anderson of Redding who made a with the assemdrove home _ telling in faver of the organization mining industry on a firm whereby it could demand its just rights from the lawmakers. He said that the meeting was to consider a basic industry and that mining and the products of mining are the only things that lift man from a primitive state and give him power to progress. The spark of mining industry must be kept alive, no mutter how’ much it may have been hampered in years past. Speaking as a farmer ,he said there was nothing so important to the farming industry as a live mining industry, which made for quick cash markets. He remarked on the farmers seeking an outlet in South America where there would be heavy com: petition as “against -an awakened mining interest right. state where with thousands of men tremendous — his blage points of the basis as he here in our pmittee was first —— aed ‘the mining department of the Sac‘associations there have been. in the MCCRANEY GIVEN MANAGER POST MURCHIE MINF : One of the outstanding events of the local mining industry the past week has been the engaging of O. A motion was quickly made and se-. 4. MeCraney as general superintenconded that the state mining associ-. @ent at the Murechie mine succeedation be formally organized. It was!ing M. M. Reese who resigned some unanimously carried. The by-lws com-. time since. McCraney has been one appointed and in-!of the best known mining men on the Mother Lode, having been operating in Amador county of late and his entry into local field presages a new mining era at the famous Murchie which has had a notable production record in the past. put to work again in the mines, there would be a market created that would pay large profits to the producers of agricultural products. Following his remarks, the meeting was thrown open to discussion. structed to retire and prepare its report. The nominating conrmittee was appointed to submit a list of 15 directors to serve for the first year. Arthur B. Foote’ was chairman and from Nevada county also on the committee were Messrs. MacBoyle and Willoughby. Their selecton was as follows: Fred H. Gotefrend of Yreka _ represtnting Siskiyou, Trinity and Shasta counties. Walter I. Nelson’ of Englemine, representing Plumas and Butte counties and the copper industry; Robert L. Hanley of LaPorte, representing Sierra county and the gold placer mining; Arthur W. Hoge of Nevada An extensive campaign of underground development is being mapped out and will be prosecuted with the idea of getting onto a large production basis. With the finest suface plant. of doubtless any property in the section, the ball milling and oil flotation process’ recently installed in the mill, . promises to create a revolution in the milling methods of the local ores, whose City and Errol MacBoyle of Grase. operators have been wedded to Valley, representing Nevada, Placer,. ®tamps, concentration and cyanidaand El Dorado counties and quariz. tion heretofore. The surface works gold mining; Albion S. Howe of Sutter Creek, the central Mother Lode; J. C. Kemp Van Ee of Marihave been thoroughly rehabilitated throughout, a new compressor electrically driven and the hoist eiectriposa, the southern Mother Lode; . fied so that with new _ orebodies Harry W. Gould of San Francisco. opened up, the property is in exthe quicksilver industry and north . ¢cellent shape to set up production never before attained With McCraney in charge at the Murchie and Otto Sehiffner at the Hoge holdings, two of Nevada City’s largest potential producers are soon to usher in a new era of time production that will put Nevada county well out in front in gold production among the countries of the state. A high type of men are coming into charge of our local properties which cannot but spell success for our major industry. FINANCING LARGE GROUP REPORTED PROGRESSING Reports from New York are to coast counties; Clarence Pratt of San Francisco, non-metallics; James M. Hill of San Francisco; J. W. McCarty of Santa Cruz, the south coast counties and the cement W. L. Gormley of Sacramento John A. Rollins. of Los Angeles and William Mayer of San Diego. That the organization is off to a flying start is seen in the fact that there was no division of opinion among those appointed to the task of getting the movement on a firm operating basis and.a desire to stand together as one unit. The two big problems facing the mining industry just now are compensation insurance and excessive taxation. A committee to deal with the compensation problem and the state operated trust was appointed and it iz probable that out of their labors will come a cooperative company which will make it possible 10 sreatly reduce the costs of compensation insurance and place more nearly on a level with those of other mineral producing states. Our mning industry has been continueing to submit to the whims of organized labor. Placer mining. resumption is also one of the problems to be taken up when the organization is stong enough to combat the at this mine. industry; the large goups of mines in the Banner Hill section is progressing satisfactorily and that announcehient may be made shortly of intended operations. Litigation which has held up development in the past year is now settled and will tend to speed the work of opening up the propreties.

The mill has been run-! ning-for two cleaning out the bins stored ‘with ore from the former Gillespie workings and is now running on new ore taken from the rich shoot exposed last year. Drifting and raising operations are being carried on, the drifting being caried toward the Osceola ground where rich ore was taken out in past years on the upper levéls. The ore in the raise is now 12 feet in width. In the face of the drift a small vein is coming in in the the footwall and another one on the hanging side that looks to make a fine shoot in the next few feet at their intersection. A single shift is :making four and a half to five feet each two days. The company has large holdings In the Alleghany . district which it is proposing to develop into a mine that will equal the famous Sixteen to One i point qf produdtion.

At the pienic held today on the Taber anch, representatives of the Water Users Association of the lower Yuba,and of the irrigation interests dependent on the Yuba supply, assured the San Juan Association that they were ready to join interest to protect their water resources from further encroachment.

Hoge, the President, in reference to. the policies, and plans to be carried. out during the next six months, upon the properties that are owned and controlled by the said company. i While this company has an exceedingly bright future, on account Jor their excellent prospects in a vir‘sin territory, they state that their ;policies for the next six to nine ‘months will be strictly a program of development. They have carefully laid out their plans, with the view of having an ideal mill-site, but they do not expect to give the matter of erecting a mill any serious. consideration until such a time as they have sufficient ore on the dump, and in sight to pay for the miil. The company has other important developments in mind, but state that until such time as they feel reasonably assured of their success thruogh further examinations, that they have no comments to make in reference to the same. The Hoge Development Company should be an outstanding success, not only because they have a large acreige in a proven virgin territory; but becaue they are spending their money in a systematic mining development.

The Hoge Development Company should be an outstanding success, not only because they have a large acreige in a proven virgin territory; but becaue they are spending their money in a systematic mining development.
