Antimony is abundant in different por

worth about $50 per ton in San Francisco.
The Morogo mining district is opening
up lively this spring. The Morongo King

The new gold discovery of Andy Nc
Farland is likely to prove the richest yet
made in San Bernardino county Andy
is one of the oldest and besJ prospectors
IN San Bernardino. Since his discovery
of the Bonanza King group in the Provl-
dence district he has been hunting for
something that would do to tie to. lie
has at last been rewarded BY discovering
some rich gold ores. From the name he
has given the new district and mum ber
of the claims it would look as il he had
been prospecting at night or studying as
tronomy.
The district is to be called the Lone
Star and Lone Star claims staked off.
The latest discovery was on March 17th,
which he called St. Patrick. ST. Patrick
carries both silver and gold and is located
some eight miles from the other group.
Several assays made by Craig run all
the way from $75 to $3.50 per ton in gold
Andy assures your correspondent that
they were no fancy samples. The lodges
are we'll defined and the outlook for a
good gold district is pretty well assured
He has also located several springs close
to the mine. This discovery is entirely
in new country and will be bounded on
the north by the Inyo county lin, San
Bernardino Sun.
The Lost Horse mine, near Indio, has
been working steadily for the past year.
and developments have reached point
where the present mill is inadequate to
handle the ore that the mine produces.
A ten-stamp mill is soon to be put in.
Two two-stamp mills will probably be
built at foundry in San Diego within a
few weeks. One will be used by II. A.
Howard in crushing some very rich ore
in Lower California. about seventy. five
miles from Ensenada, while the other will
be shipped to McNamara's big ore find,
125 mics from Ensenada.
