pass into the hands OF Pennsylvania
capitalists is the Diamond Joe. This
property ls in the foothills OF the Walls-
pal mountains, near the Big Sandy. ID
has been worked for number of years
and the ore shipped to Kingman.
Thousands of dollars have been taken
out, but the great expense of getting the
ore to market has been detrimental to
its working. A reduction plant will
have to be put in near the mine, and
then the prosperity of the mine and its
owner ia assured. Two large
gold lodges in the Black canon range
have been bonded to New York and San
Francisco capitalists. One of the pro-
perties, in q crude way, has produced
thousands OF dollars in gold bullion in
the past two years. With q large re-
duction plant these properties will lswell
the yearly output OF our bullion hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars.

Elsinore Age: That the mining in

California is steadily moving forward to
