The idea that q young woman or a

Vanderbilt Shaft: One of the strange
things about mining enterprises on the
desert ia this: That although the mines
and prospects may be very rich and
promising, there ia a general ignorance
regarding them in cities that are consid-
cred mining headquarters. In no case
is this truth more clearly and fully ex-
emplifed and set forth than it is in the
case of Goot springs. Here is q region
to which can be attributed unbounded
posi- abilities in the way of mining, for
about nlne-tenths Of the miners of the
west prefer lead silver proposition to a
gold proposition, and at Good springs it
is lead-silver proposition of the biggest
kind.
About Is months ago Robert Puelz,
who was the owner OF an interest in
some mining claims at Good springs, had
81 assays made Of samples from these
claims. Some OF these assays were made
in Salt Lake City, some in Los Angeles
and some In Keystone, and the returns
showed that the ore averaged IS per cent
lead and 25 ounces in silver. The veins
from which these samples were taken
will average at least four feet in width,
and they all increase in size as they go
down. These claims are no better than
many other claims in the district, sc the
lead deposits extend over large terri
tory. There seems to be no reason why
Good springs should not be a second

shaft OF the Boomerang will be down be-

There 10 no question OF the fact that
there is very large proportion OF the
people OF Los Angeles who are very
much interested in the fortunes OF the
HERALD since it started out on its indie
pendent career. We are nightly
pleased to be able to inform these
kindly disposed persons that there has
been nothing in the history of California
journalism that is at all comparable to
it. The circulation OF the HERALD has
increased over sixty per cent during the
past month. In this we take no &C.
count of the enormous transient move
ments, which, on one Sunday, ran our
circulation up to twenty-five thousand,
the equivalent, in ratio, of a circula-
ton of o million for q New York
journal. The advertising favors which
have poured in upon US have been quite
exceptional for this season Of the year,
and these have shown themselves in q
remarkable degree in the extension OF
our classified department. Day by day
our subscription and advertising lines
are expanding. The people Of Southern
California realize with great delight that
they have at last a journal devoted to

San Bernardino County.
A dispatch from San Bsrnardino to
the San Francisco Examiner says: Not
since the days of '49 has there been such
activity in mining circles as there ia
now in Southern California. and the
movement OF wagon trsine from here
and points nearer the gold felds revives
the old days vivldly in the minds of the
old-timers.
Out upon the desert, few miles
north from COTS, where but a few
months ago was nothing but barren,
uninviting desert, is now the thriving
camp OF Vanderbilt, with it's news
paper and railroad connections with
the outer world by means OF the Ne
vsda Southern and Southern California
railroads. Except the laying off OF a
few OF the men because of the recent
strike upon the railroads having cut off
the supplies necessary for continuing
operations, every miner Of ability who
came to this district was afforded en-
ployment. A new voting precinct and
school district were formed there and q
special tax voted by the progressive
miners to keep school going.
A big force of men is at work in the
Bronze mine, and the mill was run
ming night and day, until the strike
gave an opportunity to close long
enough to clean UP and make some
needed improvements.
Another good property is the Boone
rang, which ia showing better ore as it
is developed, and turns out some good
bullion.

Veins.

San Bernsrdino Times-Index: Recent
developments in Morongo district are
most satisfactory TO mine owners in that
promising camp. The Morongo King
has already become a steady producer,
and now another property has reached
stage of development that will ensbls
1t to pay tor future work, and, If 1t full
fills Its present promise, will soon justify
the erection OF plant for the treatment
of it's ores. This property is the Altura
mine, belonging to the Altura Gold Mill =
ing and Mining company. The de-
velopment work on this claim con-
sists of tunnel run on the
vein 150 feet, interesting shaft
SO feet deep, sunk from the surface.
A winze has been sunk from the tunnel
about 20 feet from where it intersects the
shaft, and the deepest workings are now
about 100 feet under cover. The vein
has increased from four or five inches at
the surface to 40 inches in the deepest
workings. 1t is proposed to sink the
shaft on down and drift from it to con-
meet with the bottom OF the winze and
thus afford ventilation and at the same
time put large body of ore in sight all
blocked out and ready for stopping.
Judge OTIS, one of the principal own
ers OF this property, was there last
week for the purpose of having a mill
test made at the Morongo King mill. A
sample run was made on eight tons of
ore taken out in DEVELOPMENT work.
The ore was taken from wall to wall and
was considered fair average of the
whole OF the vein matter as far as devel-
oped. He brought back with him gold
brick worth from 5000 to $500. showing
the average milling value OF the ore to
be not far from $50 per ton. Besides.
concentrates of considerable value were
also obtained. The assay of the concen-
trates made in this city today showed
$35 in gold and SO in silver.
This result was very satisfactory to the
owners of the property, end the work OF
further development will be prosecuted
vigorously. The Altura mine is stu
ated about four miles from the Morongo
King mill, with down grade haul, and
arrangements have been made to treat
the ore taken out in development work
simply, without any stopping, at this
mill. 1t is thought that the ore taken
out in development from now on will
meet the expenses OF the property until
such time as it ia fully developed and
justi6es the erection OF plant of its own.
