A Lava Bed District.

About one hundred miles from the
Town of Santa Barnardino and fortv
miles to the southeast of Calico. the
Mammoth ledge was discovered by s
A. Clark, who is now visiting Santa
Barbara. The ledge crops out on the
ground and ranges from six to fifty
feet in height and from six to eighty
feet in width. Standing on a spur OF
the hill opposite the ledge, it can plain
ly be seen for more than a mile break
ing out on the surface. On this ledge
there are now six mines in operation,
all in line, occupying 1900 feet each;
not to mention numberless extensions
in all directions. The principal mine,
the Mammoth Chief, is represented by
specimens in Mr.. Clark's possession Of
remarkably rich ore, assaying from
$1,000 to 81, 100 per ton in silver. The
Morn .ng Star mine. of the same ledge,
has also fine showing of rich ore,
specimens assaying $500 to the ton.
This mine has Just been sold by Mr..
Clark for $40 000, and the fortunate own
ers are now engaged in developing the
same. The direction in which this ar
gentiferous ledge les, upon a mount
ain side broken by canyons, renders Il
pecuniarily accessible. as tunnels may
be easily run into the heart of all this
richness Beside the huge percentage
of silver, the ore of different claims
contains from Sc to s143 in gold per
ton; which is worth the working for
its own sake. Other metals are found
In abundance. The gaIena ore, as Is
generally known, contains large per-
cenfage of lead. which shows ITSELF
very plainly in the specimens from
the Desert Queen. the same being also
rich in horn silver Santa BovtGra In
