The copper mines are sureto be developed with the advent of theCalifornia Midland railroad. There isnow in successful operation a paint minein this locality. About thirty miles northeast of Marys-ville is the Indiana Ranch district, anextensive and well known mining operations have been conductedon a large scale since the early fifties,first by the primitive methods of placermining and later in the working of thequartz veins and pockets.
