OUR R.lNERAL WEALTH.
New Discoveries of Tin. Coal, ,CinHabar,
silver and Gold

The HERALD has of late frequently
referred to the discoveries of mineral
wealth made in the mountains sur
rounding San Fernando. Yesterday
Senator Maclay, who came down
from San Fernando, assured us that
the discoveries are ten fold more valu-
able than reported. Prospectors are
out in all directions, and the excite
ment at San Fernando is red hot, and
daily increasing. A number of ex-
perts from San Francisco, represent
ing heavy capitalists, are in the town,
and they share in the prevailing eX-
element.
Senator Maclay himself has been
out on prospecting tour, and a few
days ago he discovered a tin mine,
some twelve miles north of the town,
assaying so per cent. of pure ore. AT
least twenty discoveries of tin, just as
rich, have been made in the past few
weeks.
A coal vein was struck last week,
within six miles of San Fernando,
with an opening of four feet. The coal
burns freely, is of the anthracite class,
and the only drawback is that it
leaves too much Stag when burned.
The cinnabar discoveries are in a
district from three to twenty miles
north Of the town. Last week quite a
number of new deposits of quicksilver
were discovered, most of them ex-
ceedingly rich.
At least half dozen gold leads have
been discovered within the past few
weeks, and the assays are most flatter-
ing.
Five miles north of town pros
pector, named Slater, has just discov-
cred silver mine that yields almost
pure silver-the best hit yet made by
prospectors in the San Fernando re-
gion.
The petroleum wells are yielding
finely, and fresh flows are daily being
discovered, on both sides of the
mountains that encompass San Fer
nando.
