EApEess mas Deeh intervening senator
Jones in relation TO his views and ideas
on the railroad enterprise he has on
hand. Speaking of Panamint and the
connection of his road with the Utah
Southern, he said, in answer to ques-
ton asking his opinion of the Panamint
mines, ETC.:
porter-"Do you still retain your
opinion of the Panamint mines?"
'ithout any doubt. | believe that
lines of that section Will, when
under way, yield one thousand
Il rock daily, which will average
inbred dollars a ton. Taking the
. ...-.niDt Wild Rose, Rose, Lee, Wau-
coba, Cerro Gordo and other districts
into the count it is difficult to exaggerate
the treasure production of that section.
In the development of all noted mines
on the Pacific Coast very rich surface
rock has been found and then barren
zone was encountered. This has been
the case in the celebrated California
mines and in the Comstock, and it has also
been that way in Panamint. These ores
near the surface have been specially rich
because the action of the elements
during ages have eliminated from them
the iron and sulphur and other admix-
lures. We have gone down to depth
of three hundred feet in Panamint and
have found rich and reliable veins. The
outlook for Panamint could not be bet
ter. The large quantities of argentifer-
GUS galena ores in Inyo county will ne
cessitate some day the establishment of
great smelling center somewhere on
the line of the Los Angeles and indie
pendence Railway"
Reporter" Where is that smelling
center likely to be-
Jones'" That is very difficult to say.
Wherever fuel and water can be brought
together the cheapest. believe that
coal will be found in sufficient auanti-
ties in Los Angeles county. Should this
prove not to be the case, however, the
extension of the Los Angeles and indie
pendence Railway to a junction with the
Thiry-fifth parallel road, or with tho
Southern Utah, would make the coal
mines about st. George, Utah, ayaila-
BILE, and somewhere in the neighborhood
of the Point of Rocks would be the
point, in all likelihood"
