THERE'S MILLIONS IN 1T.
Vast Deposit of Borate of Lime Dis
covered in the Calico Mountains.


SAN BERNARDINo. June 8. = News
reached this city to-day that one of the
most important mineral discoveries ever
made in the State has been located in the
Calico mountains by Hugh B. Stevens.
1t is a vast deposit of borate of lime, from
which borax and boracic acid are ex-
tracted. the discovery was made on the
south side of the mountain and is the con-
tinuation of a deposit owned and now
being worked by the Borate Mining Com
pany, which is located on the north side of
the noun tains.
The new discovery is two and half miles
from the old deposit. but is q con tinua-
ton of it. The ledge comes through the
mountains horizontally, except as affected
by their conformation. Stevens has dis
covered one deposit Of thirty-fve acres in
area and 100 feet thick, besides several
smaller bodies.
The formation on top of the borate is
loose porphyry. while the foot wall is clay .
In many places water has washed away
the hanging wall, leaving the borate ex-
posed. The Borate Mining Company's s
claim is justly regarded as one of the most
valuable properties in the State. and yet
its deposit does not equal in richness or
extent the body of mineral just discovered
by Stevens.
There is ready market for the product
at $50 per tor, and the discovery is esti-
ma ed to be worth several millions.
Hugh B. Stevens Is one Of the best,
known prospectors on the Pacific Coast
He was one of the first to prospect the
Calico district and has located a mum ber
