ABOUT HOLES IN THE GROUND,
The Latest Reports From Goler
District Diggings.
Mining News From All Over South-
ern California.
The Red Rock sIfnes-Coal for Yuma.
Notas From NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Mines.

The Lancaster Gazette gives the fol-
lowing, the latest news from the Goler
district:
A, B. Cox returned late Tuesday
night from an eight-dsy trip among the
diggings of Goler. Red Rock and Sum-
NIT districts. lie went out there for J.
A. Moore to inspect q claim that was
offered by G.. A. Stom to the merchant.
He found the quartz quite rich in gold,
but the extent was too limited. He
was accompanied by Mr.. Stom. As the
weather was fine they had delightful
trip.
Mr.. Cox says there is much gold taken
out in those districts, giving foundation
to the various reports in regard to those
gold fields, but that these reports are go
incomplete that they give wrong im-
pressions. He would not adviae any
body to 90 there with the hope of max
ing a stake, neither would he advise
anybody to stay away who were pre-
pared to prospect and work. The road
from Mojsve is good. He would advise
those who 90 there that they should
take q complete camping outfit, grub
and all. Supplies are necessarily higher
the nearer one gets to the mines.
Mr.. Cox speaks in the highest terms
of the kindness of Messrs. Skillen and
Searle, owners of the borax works.
They have piped water down from the
mountains at several places along the
route. This water and the use of their
barns they let the prospectors use
freely. They are now hauling borax
from the field to Mojave. using % mules
to a team, hauling 10 tons to load.
Captain Goodiellow and Mr.. Skillen
prospected thoroughly over the Christ
mas gold district, further east. and they
say there is but little pay dirt there.
Mr.. Cox does not think that there
ever will be extensive quartz mining
done ont there. The quartz lodges
seem SO very limited in the amount,
having the appearance OF being thrown
up in detached heaps on molten lava
bed. Many thousands of acres all
along the ridge from Red Rock east to
Summit and beyond have traces of gold.
almost every place showing colors; but
it is only in the depressed parts OF the
ridge that it is found in paying quanti-
ties. The Bonanza mine In Red Rock
district, which was sold the other day
for $4,000, he thinks is worth fully $780,
000 He brought home about $40 worth
of gold nuggets. There is great deal of
gold out there, but as a matter of
course, wherever people know there are
rich diggings the land is located. What
will be found in the future it is useless
to surmise. They saw the claim where
the $1,000 nugget was taken from. Peo-
pie are coming and going to the gold
fields all the time, and as the district is
30 extensive no one knows how many
are ont there.

From the San Pablo district: Your

At Yucaips Valley.

San Bernardino Kaleidoscope: A
mining boom has sprung up in the
Yucaipe valley and number of claims
have been etaked out. On the west
side of the Yucaipe valley, just over
the hills from Redlands, gold quartz is
found in well defined veins and years
ago was worked by the Mexicsns, their
impractical works being found in many
places on the hillside. Several years
ago a company was formed in this city
to develop these old prospects. but fell
through. The rock is rich in gold and
if properly worked should prove profit
able, especially at the present time
when silver is at discount.

Bakersfield Californian: Some of the
writer's about desert mines either have
short memories or they are wofully mis-
informed. 1t ia true that when the
tunnels were run years ago in FL Paso
mountains the company doing the
work sunk lot of money. But the
state range mines paid and were not the
total loss that the newly fedged mining
experts would have US believe. The
old Antrim mine, worked by Searles
Brothers away back in the sixties, with
every supply costing ruinously high
prices, nevertheless paid, and paid
handsomely. The silver mines opened
by D. L. Reese Tor Haggin & Hearst
ought to have paid. The ore was very
rich, some OF it yielding as high as $500
per ton, and unless there may have
been mismanagement the ground
worked out ought to have brought
handsome returns to the owners. So
long as pay lasted in those
mines, more compact body OF
high grade ore could rarely be seen.
To be sure it was only deposit that is,
sit did not go down." but that, unfor-
tunately, is not by any means a rare
thing. In the Argus range, on the
Borax lake side, the history always has
been that only punches of ore have
been found. They are sometimes very
rich but never last very long, like the
gold pockets in Tuolumne county. But
upon the other slope OF the came Argus
range and the ridges adjacent to and
connected with it, rich and permanent
veins have been worked for years. 1t is
more than 20 years ago since the gold
mines near Mountain springs were first
opened, yet they are being worked and
are paying today. The Darwin and
Modoc country. Pansmint and Calico
districts, besides many others that
could be mentioned, are all in
the Mojave desert or whatever
other name the great desert
of Southern California may be called.

there, only to constantly come away dis
appointed" is to forget Governor Water.
man, the MeFarlsnes, tine IvaRpah boys,
the stakes made at Calico, and so many
other strikes that for years have justified
the mining axiom, There is always
chance to strike it rich out on the des-
ert."
And there will be rich strikes out
there years after every man who lives
today is dead and gone. She southern
country is filed today with men in com
portable circumstances who were dead
broke when they went on the desert,
and who made discoveries there that
gave them competence, and in not few
cases large fortune.
