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.

GLASSWARE, WOODWARE, WILLOWWARE MS 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.

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.
