DEAR SIR: The mines belonging to the South Pacific
Mining Company are situated the ArmaSosa River
San Bernardino County. Cal, and have been fully de-
scrbcd by Charles A. Luckhardt, esq.
My trip the mines for the purpose Of verifying
his ort and 10 obtain information could be
procured relative to their value, present and pros
pective.
The main vein lies in a gulch with granite on both
sides running northwest and southeast Tho works re-
main mich as Mr. Iuckhardt described them, but serve
TO show the nature of the vein and its surroundings
tunnel and a shaft 40 feet deep show the vein to be at
this point ten feet wide and rich in gold The granite
walls on each side also contain gold making the whole
aurfcrous rock feet thick Every piece OF ore took
from, this chamber 40 feet long rGh varying in
value from Sl0to 5000 per ton
On the surface starting from the northwest boundary
and running southeast 400 feet the rock panned well all
the way broke of fragments OF granite, quartz and
fcdspr and found gold in ALL sometimes In astonishing
quantity Numerous cross veins from one 10 -FOUR teet
thick OF pink iedspar into the man vein and have
been worked by Mexicaus and others for hundreds of
feet by means OF tunnels, the whole forming an lil
mense Of gold bearing mineral. First the main
vein then the veins and last hut by no means
least the granite rock, encasins the whole rms granite

tits difficult TO estimate the value OF tho property

and none from the vein were poor, that an ea'liiato
