LOCAL
NOTES.
Postmaster John F. Miller and his
mother, Mrs. Mary Miller, who own h
tract of land on the lelt fork of Jackson
creek from which much placer gold has
lai n taken in years past, arc now likely
to have a quartz property that will yield
ns much or more gold than ever their
placer claim yielded. The land is in the
famous Jackson creek gol'l district,
where gold bearing ledge» arc found in
evetv hill, but Mrs Miller had never had |
her land prosjieeted and did not know of
this ledge. Other parties have known
of this ledge before and it has lieetl i
opened up and examined ami then cov­
ered up ami concealed again, the parties
hoping to secure the ownership liefure its
value become known. Through Mack
Johnson, a well known prospector of
this place, Mr. Miller recently learned '
of the ledge ami he has employed Mr.
Johnson to open it up. Surface samples
that Mr. Miller has secured show it to be '
a free milling ore and to carry good
values. The ledge is four fret wide and i
is quite extensive and is in an accessible
location. There is every reason to believe
that this ledge will prove to be a valu­
able one and that it will be another factor
to the mining prosperity of this district. I

The Sentinal has received a sample of
copper ore from P. J. Sullivan who is
opening up a ledge on the west side of
Cook & Green creek, a mile south-west
of the Blue Ledge mine. The sample is
of mica-schirs, the formation of the ledge
and it is brilliant with flecks of purple
and blue peacock copper. Mr. Sullivan
is driving a tunnel and though in but 12
feet the ledge is showing up quite rich
in copper and he has every expectation
that it will prove to be a rich copper de-
posit.

Dr. J. F. Reddy returned Sunday from
the Blue Ixrdge. While at the mine
Dr. Reddy superintended the building
of a new trail from Joes Bar to the mine.
The old trail had to be gotten over
by pack animals, some of the grades being
25 jier cent, while by the new route no
grade exceeds eight per cent and the
distance is but very little greater. As the
Blue Jardge is just over the line in Siski­
you county, Dr. Reddy will shortly visit
Yreka and submit a proposition to the
county commissioners, to establish a
county road from the county line below
Joes Bar, up Elliot creek to the Blue
Ledge. By the present road the creek
has to lie crossed three times by fords
that, during freshets are very dangerous,
and in high water, entirely impassable.
By pnting the road on the south side
of the creek, two of these fords would
be eleminated and a fine roadbed se­
cured. The cost would not exceed $44*1.,
a part of whi h it is quite certain the
miners would bear. Dr. Reddy states
that development work is progressing sat­
isfactory atthe Blue Ledge and the tunnel
has reached ore that is running as high as
20 per cent copjx-r. The Doctor brought in
about 50 pounds of specimms to show the
character of ore they are now working
in, and placed two fine specimens in the
Sentinel mineral exhibit. As to future
plans of his Company the Doctor has
nothing to give out at present, but in the
near future their plans will be more
definite and then the different lines to
their proposition will lie given out.
Judge and Mrs. Prim and their daugh­
ters Missess Maud and Bertha and son
Charles will go to Cinnibar Springs next
week to spend a month at that famous
mountain resort. Miss Lelia Prim will
remain at home to review her studies
preparatory to taking the August teach­
er’s examination, she having the laudable
ambition to make the best average pos­
sible and to raise the grade of her certif-
' icate.
