San Diego: Reports from mining
camps in this county and Lower Cslifor-
mia chow a steady development and
more expenditure of money than usual.
It is true that some camps, like Alamo
and Julian, are doing very little, but
their inactivity is more than made up
by the opening of new camps like that
of Juarez, and thegreat increase OF WORK
at Calmalli, Pichaco district and others.
By far the greatest development is going
on in Lower California, the results OF
which are felt in this city. In gold min
ing the most work on the peninsula
tributary to San Diego is being done at
Calmalli and Juarez. The operations in
the former camp were reported in the
Union few days ago. Superintendent
M. G.. Rhodes, who went south on the
steamer Pacheco last week, confirmed
the reports of rich strikes in the lbarra
group, and added that, in his opinion,
the mines would become famous as gold
producers.
Much placer mining is being done at
Juarez and Campo Nacional. Forty-five
Chinese lately moved to the latter camp
from Alamo. which has been almost
totally abandoned. At Juarez two
hydraulic plants are at work extracting
gold with good results.
The development of the New Pedrara
ONYX uuarries and the increased work
at Calmalli and Cedros island have
made necessary larger steamer to ply
between peninsular ports and San
Diego, and the work soon to be COM
menced at the great iron mines near san
Isidro will add to the volume of exports
from this port. Prospecting is continu-
ally going on in the unexplored interior
of the peninsula, which has been
demonstrated to be remarkably rich in
many classes of mineral. Onyx beds
equal to those OF New Pedrara have
been located and are being investigated
bv capitalists, and the same may be said
of locations of iron ledges near those OF
the Tepustete company at San 1sidro.
Manuel Riveroll, Hon. Anthony Godbe,
I'M. Gonzalez and W. HI. Rodda are
interested in the discoveries OF iron,
and are awaiting the construction OF
wharf by the Tepustete people to organ
ize and develop their properties.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY,
San Diego Union: It is reported that
the rich placers known to exist in the
vicinity OF Dllzura will be developed by
a company hich will work on large
scale. The Mount Tecsrte water enter
prise will be depended upon to furnish
water for hydraulicking. Several prom.
Using ledges are also being developed by
Irving L. Carl and others.
Locations of prospects in the Picscho
district are continually received at the
court house from the California Picacho
Gold Mining company, which is oper-
ating in the eastern portion of San
Diego county. Not much is heard of the
mining operations OF that region, eepa-
rated as it is by the Colorado desert
from the coast.
At Julian some finds have recently
been made that promise to redeem the
fortunes of that camp. Work has lately
been resumed on the old Ella mine by
the owner, S. w. Wilcox, and an ex.
tensive vein of rich mining ore uncov-
cred. The Ella is located on the con-
tact vein, four miles northwest of the
famous Golden Chariot mine, which
turned out an immense amount of bull
lion during the early days of mining in
the Julian district. The body of ore
lately discovered in the Ella mine ia
one of the richest that has ever been
found in the Julian gold belt, and prom
ises rich returns to the fortunate owner.
The frs t ore from this newly uncovered
vein was recently milled at the Ready
Belief mill, and in eight days. run
cleared up over $1,000. Besides the Ella,
the Wilcox brothers also own the Cal
ifornia, Golden Gate, Pegleg and Ex-
tension mines, aid on the same con&sct
vein and all very promising proper.
