RICH IN FRUIT and GOLD
Tingman of IndiO Tells of the
Deserts Wealth
THE M'HANEYS' BONANZA
The Richest Gold Mine In the Whole
Country
Fine dalena Mine at Cottonwood Springs.
Grapes and Watermelons Ripe Since
the Last Of r1ay

Mr.. A. J. Tingman. the pioneer OF In
dio, on the Colorado desert. is in the city.
He has added to his wealth by locating a
rich gaena mine at Cottonwood Springs
and is sending the ore to Pueb bio smelters.
The beauty about this mine is that all he
has to do is dig out the ore and sack it,
for he sells at the mine for rafting good
price.
Mr.. Tingman states that the McHaney
brothers Queen gold mine near Indio is
making a wonderful record and will be
the most profitable producer in the coun-
try. Mr.. Tihgman milled six tons of the
ore last week. and as a result turned over
to the owners twelve pounds Of gold bull
ion worth $17 an ounce.
The gold reef in that region he is sure
is the richest and most remarkable in the
world, and he predicts that in few years
1ndio will be the star gold camp.
Mr.. Tingman is here perfecting the
patent on an amalgamating plate for CATCH
ing the micToscopically fine gold car
ried in rivers and in the famous black
sand on the beaches of this coast. All a
miner has to do with these plates is to
sink few hundred of them in the sand.
leave them there a few hours, haul them
In lilo as a region for small fruits is rap
idly developing. Grapes and watermel-
ons have peen plentiful since the last of
May, and all that is needed to make that
region equal the Nile delta in productive
ness is more water. This Mr.. Tingman
says can be easily developed from an ar
tesian belt which he believes exists.
