Last Tuesday our office was presented
with a specimen Of fine silver rock as
saying over $500, which was taken from
a mine situated about eighty miles north
Of this place, near Butte valley. 1t
was discovered year ago by Piute
Indian named Jim, who was hunting
for wild goats. Old Chief Tacoma has
been trying to. get several parties to take
a trip out there and locate it, but no
one would 90. About three weeks ago
George Plant and A. G.. Rhodes took up
the proposition and left with team of
Seymour ALI. Arriving there the claim
was pointed out by the chief Messrs.
Plant aud Rhodes located Seymour ALI
in the claim, and expect to go out there
in few days to work.
A new silver and gold strike has been
! made on the west side of Providence
mountain, almost directly west from this
place.
The ore brought in assays from forty
ounces in silver and $l2 in gold to ov er
800 ounces in silver and $4s in gold. A
number Of prospectors have left for the
new find to prospect that side OF the
mountain.
have just returned from this gold dis.
tric!. There are about twenty men
working in this district, and find wher-
ever any work has been done that the
mines are opening up fine bodies of good
| gold rock. Nothing can keep this camp
from being one of the largest gold pro-
| ducing camps in the country. This will
add another large metal output to San
Bernardino county. You have said
nothing in your paper that cannot be
verified in the camp.
The Exchequer district, which you
might say had been abandoned for few
years, has had new life infused into it.
The camp is only eight miles from Goff,
but the present station to get off at is
| Fenner SO as to be able to go there.
There is no question as to the richness of
some of the ore and if properly worked
will pay, but for some reason or other it
would appear that person taking hold
| of mine wants to make fortune out Of
a few tons Of ore and to do it in a few
weeks.
Good Gre is being found daily on all
the ranges of mountains from the Colo.
Il y -. -,
Mojave. This country will be covered
with miners as soon as they can get ore
reduced at reasonable figures. As we
are situated now forty dollars ton only
pays for the reduction of the ore.
Around Providence Mountain there is
more prospecting going on now than at
any time since the Bonanza King was
discovered. Lately some rich discover
les have been made on the west side of
Providence.
Three hundred ounces in silver and
| $4S in gold is the find on the west side
of Providence Mountain, between this
place and Marl Spring. A number of
locations have been made and some men
are at work on the new locations.
The Arrow district still improves with
work. The shaft on the Mountain Pass
claim, on the main ledge, is down 25
feet, showing rich gold ores.
Sam King has gone to work on the
Relief claim, on the same ledge. The
Mexicans are working their La Practi
claim, and are down over 400 feet, show
ing rich ore in the bottom.
The Golden Queen has a tunnel of
about 70 feet, showing rich gold rock
nearly all the way, and the owners are
also sinking shaft, which is down
about 20 feet, showing good mineral.
