TINE MINING lmpusrRY.
Angelenos In Luck--Rich Discove-
ries and Successful Milling - A
Good Outlook.

A party Of Angelehos arrived home
last evening from the Mojave Mining
District. consisting Of the veteran
miners, Jas. \. Ward, John Noel, Messrs.
Thompson and Hunter, and Mr.. Ira W.
Felt, the Secretary OF the Sanchez and
Soledad Consolidated Gold and Silver
Mining Company. The samples Of silver
carbonates which they brought back
would make Leadville miner half crazy.
The Bullion mine, from which some Of
these rich ores were taken, Las been
opened TO depth Of fifty feet on
fUur-.oot vein OF tarbonates that assay
up among the hundreds. Mr.. James
Noel, the principal osner OF the Bullion
mine, was yesterday the happs,st man
In town when he saw the ore and heard
the description OF the mine from skilled
and veteran miners.
The Sanchez and SoleIad, on the Co.
foot level, is also showing very rich ore,
some Of which millsd in San Francisco
over $500 per ton. The information
which these men bring is very import.
ant TO the interests of this city, as IL will
open large volume Of trade. The
mines in this group are oil being opened,
so that when the mill Of the company 10
erected there will be enough ore on the
dumps to run for year. Tho company
mean business on large scale, and are
abundantly able to carry out their plans
Mining in Southern California has passed
the stage Of experiment It is now in
the hands OF careful men, who go for
ward prudently and turn out more bul.
lion according to their expenses than any
other mining territory in the world.
The day of wildcat enterprises and Law.
ish expenditures has passed in this part
Of the country. The mines are first
opened to see If there is ore enough to
justify the expense of mill, and then
small mill Of the very best manufacture
is set up and the work goes on success
fully. This is SHOWN by the results,
when little ten stamp mills turn out
500, 900 annually, that fact shows good
mining. None Of the stamp mills in our
silver region will turn out less than $780,.
600 monthly, while some yield $50, 900
per month. 1t is safe 10 say that the
great mining district tributary to Los
Angeles insures great and permanent
prosperity to the people Of both the city
and country.
Col. II. II. Markham, Of the King
mine will this week take possession of
the Oriental mill at Daggett, which he
has purchased for $40, 900, and will put
in five more stamps, making fifteen in
all, and run it for all there Is in it on
the King mine ore. Mr.. R. Nadeau, Of
this city, has hauled this ore for the past
eleven months to the Oro Grande mill, a
distance of nearly forty miles, and has
enough ahead to run the mill to the
close Of his year. When this surplus is
worked up, the ore will 90 but seven
miles to the Oriental mill, which is ex-
pected to turn out $1,000 per day with
fifteen stamps.
The Colonel will take charge of the
Oriental group of mines, besides render
ing aid and comfort to some of our citi-
zeDs, who are opening the Little Bonanza
mine, which is showing up beautifully.
Owing to the death Of some Of the pro.
prietors Of this mine, long delay has
been caused iu administering on their
interests, but now all is harmonious and
the owners are going forward cheerily,
This will be good news to their numer.
Gus friends in this city.
Charley Hasson reports his pet mill at
Providence mountain still turning out
go, 900 monthly, with ten stamps. Charlie
and his associates in that mountain
may well consider II . good Providence
mountain TO them as it certainly has
been, and also to the city and county Of
Los Angeles in furnishing large cash
trade for our goods and products. Lieu
tenant Governor Daggett, in his mill at
Hawleys, as we are informed by Colonel
Markham, is doing admirably well. His
mines are turning out well, and all are
gratified at the success Of this excellent
gentleman.
