Bakersfield Californian: Last Friday
Mr.. j. A. Robb OF Kern City brought to
the Democrat Office several large speci-
mems OF clear mica which he had taken
from claim that he, together with
James P. Able and George Yancey, had
located and partially developed in the
Peru mining district in Ventura county,
just across the line from Kern. The
claim is located at the foot of Alamo
mountain, ON Peru creek. The claim lie
actually relocation, other parties hav-
ing first located and abandoned it, after
having exposed and dug up large
quantity, which they scattered around
and left to become comparatively value.
less by exposure to the cum and ele-
mente.
The ledge as developed has gradually
increased to thickness OF feet and 30
feet in length. 1t promises to become
even larger and more valuable, as the
owners believe that they are approach
ing the junction Of two leads, where the
richest and clearest mica is always
found.
Mr.. Robb has communicated with
several persons and has received prof.
fers Of from "a to 81 per pound for all
the mica he can furnish in pieces at
least 4x6xS inches clear of black spots,
stains and streaks. The emaller pieces,
called lubricating mica, is worth 80 to
35 cents per pound.
The mine was located In April of this
year by Mr.. Robb and he and his COM
panions left Bakersfield on the 21st of
June since which time they have taken
out between 700 and 800 pounds of fine
mica. and have uncovered at least ton
more. While Mr.. Robb does not UNDER
take to state the value of his find, yet
he places some hope upon it's great
value from the fact that other claims
not exhibiting greater richness than his
have sold for as high as $3.50, 900.
Bakersfield will be the channel by
which the mica will reach the market,
this place being the nearest and most
convenient to the mine.

Tucson Notes.
[Tucson Star, Sept. 3d. ]


A number Of mining men are pros
pecting in the Tucson mountains and
are meeting with considerable success.
Among those anxious to become mil
lionaires in day are Chas. Bowman,
G. E. Wood and F. A. Drake, who have
recently located two claims in the Tue
sons. The First Chance and the Second
Chance are the unique names given to
the properties. The samples OF surface
ore taken from these new discoveries
carry much gold.
Advices from the Arivaca mining dis
trict are that much rich ore is being
taken from the properties in that sec-
tion. The old Arivaca mill has closed
down to make cleanup. Manning &
Oury's mill is running all the time,
handling the best OF free milling ore.
The past few weeks q number of placer
claims have been taken up, but very
little placering Ia being done. Those
making locations do 80 with the object
In view OF interesting eastern capitalists
In the properties and selling out at q
good price. Owing to the scarcity Of
water, dry washers are used.
MISS Sarah Herring, daughter OF Gen.
William III. Herring OF Tombstone, will
leave about the middle of September for
New York. whore she will enter the
university school of law. This institu-
tion Is one of the oldest in the country,
and has turned out some of the most
distinguished lawyers in the United
States.

NasdIas Icxa Notes.

The Gold Bronze, Crystal and Queen
of the Night mines at Vanderbilt are
looking well. Development is being
pushed forward and prospects are
good.
The report has reached here that John
Heuss has opened up big chute of rich
gold ore on a newly discovered ledge
two miles below the Wall Street mine
in El Dorado caflon.
A. V. Patterson and Van r. Liddell
left Tuesday afternoon to examine some
gold properties belonging to them
located in the Rincon mountains, As
miles down the river. If the properties
show up we'll steps will be taken to
work them.
The mine OF the Southwestern Mining
company, in Ell Dorado cafion, has tenn
porarily closed down. A cioudburst
which recently occurred in the cafion
washed away the company g ore wagons,
about 40 tons of coal and the corral.
Superintendent Mills has gone to Chi.
cago to get the authority of the directors
of the company to replace the destroyed
property,eas well as make some con-
templated improvements.
There has been change in the super
intendency of the Gold Bar mine at
Vanderbilt, but the names of the parties
was not learned. The former superin-
tendent has gone northward on a pros
pecting trip. This mine is owned by w.
s. Lyle. The mine now employs q
number of men in development work,
and as soon as things get in proper
shape larger force will be put on.
The prospects are encouraging and ex-
cellent reports may be expected in the
fIltura

SANTA YsABEL GOLD.
Five Hundred Acres of Placer Ground
Be Developed.

Five Hundred Acres of Placer Ground to
Be Developed.
1t is now conceded by all conversant
with the history of the state that the
gold discovered by Marshall was ante
dated many years by discoveries made
by Indians, which they described as be-
ing located "near Santa Yysabel, in the
southern part of the state" says the
Nueve- Sentinel. For years previous to
the advent OF English speaking whites
these placers had been worked in crude
way by Indians, and today, while the
evidence of their work still remains in
the sluices, positively nothing is known
as to the date when the work was done.
These workings and the gold-bearing
gravel around them are always spoken
OF as "The Placers," and embrace an
area of over 500 acres. OF these 500
acres the Gippsland Mining company
has 260 acres, which it has extensively
prospected. Shafts have been sunk In
several places to depth of from ten to
sixty feet, and in every instance and in
every painful from the top to bedrock
rich colors have been found. 1t is esti-
mated that in this one deposit of gravel
there is at least $50, 600, 900 in gold and
the average depth is not believed to ex-
ceei forty feet, although in some places
on this end of the diggings the depth
exceeds 800 feet.
The present company consists of Dam
iel Mcintosh, F. r. Sawday (secretsry),
D. D. Bailey, M. Jacoby, @. p. Fisher,
@. A. Lumsden, J. o. Bailey and Frank
Harritt. Adjoining these claims and on
the side near Nuevo. Mr.. A. Hatfield
has two twenty-acre claims which have
been worked by him for several years in
the way of prospecting and with fatter r
ing results.
The famous placers, which have been
worked 80 many years in quiet way by
Indians and others, have netted the
worker always over 81 day. but with
water, sluices and modern appliances
and methods they can be made to pro-
duce untold wealth to their owners.
The land extends from the mountain
back of II. s. Whitney's ranch, three
miles east of Nuevo, and embraces all
the country up to and back Of Daniel
McIntosh's place. Placer ground, on
the same general formation or upheaval.
is found all the way down the San vi
cente creek into the Barona section oi
the grant. The formation was probably
made by the upheaval of river bed
which had once been the outlet of the
Julian and Boulder creek countries, and
the gravelly bottom OF the bed can be
traced for miles.
Plans for the developments of hy-
draulic system are under way, and 90
confident is the company that plenty Of
water can be developed that it has
offered to supply the city OF San Diego,
in addition to working the placers.

Banning Notas.

Banning Herald: Mr.. s. B. Manus,
representing "Frenchy's" mine near
Twenty-nine palms, brought into Ban
ming this week lump of pure gold
weighing 81 ounces, the largest nugget
ever taken from the ledges of that inter-
esting mining district. The gold was ex-
tracted from six-foot ledge after eight
days of hard toll. Mr.. Manus deposited
his valuable treasure in the San Fran
cisco mint.
Mr.. M. L. Bridges, who left here some
three months ago for the Pochaco
mines, 60 miles above Yuma, has re.
turned to Banning. He has been lay
ing the foundation for the Pochaco
mining company. Mr.. Bridges is
"chuck" full of interesting mining Incl
dents, but for lack of space we are un-
able to give prominence to his expert
ences and observances. He will return
to the mines in about three weeks.
Messrs. @. O. Barker and w. S. Hath
away left yesterday morning for the
Morongo King mining district to inves-
tigate and note the progress of the now
celebrated Center mine, in which they
are somewhat interested. 1t is an un-
disputed fact that newly-discovere
ledge shows gold in paying quantity.
From present indications the new rock
will develop great quantities OF rich ore,
and will prove one of the best mines in
the country. The Herald with await the
return of the above-named gentlemen
for more detailed account Of the "bo-
nanzR."

Mining Notes.

A rich mine is reported to have been
found near Sansevain, says the Red
lands Leader. which assays $50 in gold
and $265 in silver. This mine was
located by Reed and Dustin. This is
bringing the mining industry into the
valley, almost at our doors.
The rich strike at the Big Bug dis
trict, says the Prescott Courier, is in one
of the group of five claims recently pur-
chased by the Henrietta mining oom-
pany. This company is not satisfied
With the workings OF the Crawford mill,
and will put in regulation 20-stamp
mill. The new strike is rich, and there
is much excitement.
A well-known miner is authority for
the statement, according to the Prescott
Courier that 500 men could make a
comfortable living working placer ground
in that vicinity, and some of them
would make frsJ-rate wages. Gold is
scattered on the bed rock all over that
section, and in washing ground an occa-
sional rich pocket shows up.
Another strike has been made on

HISTORICAL. SOCIETY.
The Papers Road at the Meeting
Last Night.

Last Night
The Historical Society of Southern
California held its regular monthly
meeting in Judge Austin's courtroom
last evening. The room was well filed
with members and visitors.
Mrs. Emma Seckle Marshall read a
paper descriptive of the scenery around
Donner lake, where the Donner party
wintered in 1846. She exhibited some
of the relics found on the grounds and
described Mr.. McGlashin's museum OF
Donner relics at Truckee.
Mr.. McGlashin has been for wears en-
deavoring to have q monument erected
in memory of those who died in that ILL.,
fated camp. Mrs. Marshall's paper
was listened to with close attention.
Mr.. r. III. Hewitt read paper onvthe
great financial panic of 1867. He de-
scribed in graphic language that period
OF financial madness, and contrasted it
with that of 1893. When that wide
spread panic had passed over the money
OF that period, or what passed as money,
was swept out OF existence. But when
the great panic of 1893 shall have passed
away there will be just as much money
as there was before the panic.
The paper was discussed bv Messrs.
Barrows, Baxter and Quinn.
A discussion arose in regard to an old
cannon on the Las Virgines rancho.
The secretary, Mr.. Quinn, reported
that he had made an effort to obtain it
for the society, but did not succeed. It
was generally supposed that the cannon
was abandoned by Gov. Michaeltorano
on his march southwark to fight Pico
before the battle of Cahuenga, in 1845.
Mics Hattie Garfield stated that the
cannon was now in the possession OF q
Mr.. Dominguez.
President Jones gave brief descrip-
ton of the California historic exhibit at
