At the Dreisam mine the new electricplant which furnishes lights for thosurface works was started up lastweek and gives satisfaction.

At thispoint drifting north and south on thevein has begun. Tho Dreisam millisrunning steadily on ore from stopes onthe YellowJacket vein. »

At the Harvard miue undergrounddevelopment work is progressing rap-idly on both No. 5 and No. 7 levelsthrough No..2 shaft. The work ofsinking No. 1 shaft below No. 2 levelhas been commenced and also raisingfrom No. 5 level to connect withthesame, as it is the intention to hoist alarge portion of the milling orethrough this shaft direct to the millplant. The 60-stamp mill is nearingcompletion and Superintendent Mungerhopes to begin dropping stamps byApril Ist.

The Mack Consolidated Gold MiningCompany are getting excellent resultsfrom their mines at Big Oak Flat.The property consists of the Mack andWooten mines, on the same vein'as thenow . celebrated Longfellow. Thevein rnns east and west and dips northand is quite flat, lying at an angle ofabout thirty-five degrees. On theMack property itis developed by an in-cline shaft 430 feet deep. The vein hasbeen wellopened by having levels runevery 100 feet and shows up a large ex-tent of ore that will pay to mill.Scattered through the nvlling ore arerich bunches of high grade oftenshowing "more gold than rock." Itis an open secret that an importantdevelopment has been made of goodgrade millingrock at the 400 level.

Nearly a ytarago Genera) Manager Buckminstervisited the property and arranged forextensive development work. Inorderto complete this work it \ was necessaryto purchase a larger hoist and powerdrills were recommended. Instruc-tions were given for the purchase of ahoist, air-comprsssor with necessarymachinery, and .an addition of twentystamps to the mill. By reason of de-lay in receiving electrical machinery,several months beyond the time speci-fied in the contracts, the plant has notyet been completed. Inthe meantimework has been continued with the oldmachinery until the main "or No. 1shaft has reached a depth of 800 feetand levels run, opening out the oreshoot, to a depth of 600 feet.

Chronicle: Encouraging reportscome from the Lucas mine, now knownas the Calaveras Gold mine. The mineis located near the Mokelumne river,about a mile from this place, and nowbeing operated by C. F. Percy, C. D.Coran and Sydney Smith. About$20,000 has lately been expended inimprovements, a new compressed airplant has been installed and the millhas been newly equipped and started towork on ore from the lower tunnel,which has been driven in 400 feet, mak-ing in all 700 feet. With its freeand plentiful supply of water the newowners of the Lucas property are nowmining and millingfor the remarkablysmall cost of $1 a ton.

Reports from the Sheep Ranch mineare very encouraging and those whohave seen the rock that is now comingfrom the lower levels pronounce itveryrich free milling. A fine twenty-stampmill is now crushing the quartz andthere la every presumption that themine willagain take its place as one ofthe best paying propositions In thecounty. Some heavy machinery isnow being made at the Jackson foundryand preparations are being made totake power from the Utica electricplant above Murphys.

W. D.Riley of Murphys was In townthis week, and reports that he hasrecently bonded his mine on the Stan-islaus river to some San Franciscoparties. This mine is bound to be oneof the gold producers in the near fu-ture. There is an eight-foot ledge,yielding $8.15 to the ton in free gold.There is a sixty-foot tunnel on themine and a shaft of twenty feet indepth. Itis expected that the waterwillbe allout of the Union Copper, atCopperopolis by the 17th inst. Theyhave now reduced it to within fortyfeet of the bottom.

The St. Lawrence mine startedThursday of this week to pump out thewater and as soon as this work Is donethe programme is to drift both waysfrom the shaft on the lead. .

The Santa Anna mine, which hasbeen idle since last October, is soon tobe started up witha full force of men.The main shaft on this property hasalready reached a depth of 700 feet, sothat a large force of men can now beemployed to advantage. The badweather of the early part ofthe winter main has been one of thecauses of delay. With fine weatherassured for the future, the prospect ofdevelopment is good.

The Big Horn, at San Domingo, isprosecuting work quietly and prompt-ly. Some little prospecting is beingdone at present in the hills east. ofMurphys. Though no good discover-ies have been made it is conceded to bea likelysection. This ridge inthe pasthas been somewhat neglected by themine-hunters. All the ridges northand south of this one have one or moregood claims on them. W. J. Hackettbrought down from Flanders' ranchlast Sunday a sample of peculiar look-Ingore which, itis said, willgo about$3 to the ton.

W. B. Lake ia still pushing workona small scale at the Eho placers. Acompany has recently been formed andit is their intention to do much'devel-opment work in the near future.There is no doubt but the old riverchannel runs through old Mable Moun-tain. From recent work it looks asthough Mr.Lake is on the right trackand chasing the proper gold deposits.

Prospect: Work at the electricplant and at the Utica possessionsabove town is being awaited withpa-tience. So little is doing that every-body is watting for something to turnup, or for the coming of an awakeningboom. Anything to let loose the busybee of industry. Mitchlar's LastChance, west of town, is coming to thefront witha most remarkable incident.Recently a large cave took place intheold shaft whereby a large vein of goodquartz was brought to viow-fully tenfeet in width. Formerly ore milledfrom this mine went ten or twelve dol-lars per ton, but the vein was only afew inches wide. Now tons can be se-cured. Ifit only averages one-half itsformer richness the mine willbe a bigbonanza, to be sure.

For Kent-Magnet: General Superintendent

B. M.Newcomb, who arrivedhere lastWednesday, received telegraphic In-structions from General Manager W.B. Buckminster of Boston, to suspendwork at the Santa Ysabel mine tempo-rarily. Following out these instruc-tions, all workmen wore laid off Thwrs-

There are about seventy miners em-ployed at Arastraville and the pros-pects in the mines there look favorable.

The mineon Saratoga Hill,workedby Messrs. Lovely brothers and part-ners, added a $4000 output to its creditthis week.

The frictionwheels of the hoist hav-ing broken at the Rising Sun

- mine,sinking the shaft has been suspendeduntillnew wheels can be put Inplace.Inthe mean timeminers are extractingore from the upper levels. A newplunger pump has been ordered forthis mine, the present depth being toofar to pump water with a jack head.The Rising Sun willstart up ina fewdays.

*From allaccounts the Phoenix mine,

owned byF.W. Reynolds and located onthe Bolar ranch, some six miles fromSonora, is destined at an early day totake rank as among the best alongeither of the great lodes. We haveseen some of the rock taken from themain shaft at a depth of sixty feet andit is certainly good ore. Average sam-ples submitted to Selby's and otherreputable concerns gave returns fromfree gold and sulphurets per ton of$26 to $30. The vein is at presenteight feet wide, allhard quartz and inasuperior formation. The free gold isoutclassed by that contained inthe re-bellious matter, the latter being goodfor three per cent, of concentratesworth about $520 per ton. Itis saidthat a ten-stamp mill is soon to beplaced on the property.

At the Golden Era both north andsouth drifts willbe extended, each atpresent having an approximate lengthalong the ledge of 150 feet. The minewas- opened up by means of a crosscuttunnel which tapped the quartz afterbeing driven 200 feet. Itwas consid-ered one of the banner producers ofthe Columbia district in years gone by,having yielded over $30,000 from acomparatively small amount of ground.The rock crushed yielded from $3 to$100 per ton in free gold ore—or anaverage for everything between wallsof $15 per ton

—no sulphurets being

saved.' The vein varies from one tofive,feet wide. The mine Is owned byConlin &Pownall and isequipped witha five-stamp mill. Water to drive thelatter and forother purposes is receiv-ed free and in abundance from FiveMile creek. In mining circles theGolden Era is rated as first-class prop-erty.

The Vine Spring in the same localityas the Densmore, and an extremelypromising property, is lying idle atpresent, though indications point toresumption of operations at an earlydate. . At the time of hanging up,several months ago, there was plentyof fine rock in.sight in the variousworkings, but the mill couldn't savethe gold in the heavily sulphurettedore, so a discontinuance was made com-pulsory until negotiations could becompleted for giving the rebelliousmaterial special treatment. Taken asan all-around proposition the VineSpriug is considered by experts

—prac-

tical and technical—

as being one of thebest prospects inthe county for a goodbigmine.
