1000 tons has been taken out of the
mine tc date
Kinyon & Sons mines were started
in April, 1896. They are situated north
of the Butte mine. There is one incline
seventy feet in length, an air shaft sixty
feet and drift from shaft fifty feet in
length. The ore is all free milling gold,
with a very small percentage of silver.
The first ore milled showed $500 to the
ton. The last fifty tons taken clear
across the ledge of eight feet showed
SIS to the ton. There has been taken out
of the seventy-foot incline and milled
since commencement about $50 tons.
Between 5000 and 1000 sacks have also
been sold from the dump. The ores are
milled at Kane Springs.
The Wedge" mine, purchased by
Rogers & Co. about a month ago for
$4,000. is very promising. although not
large mine. 1t is situated between
the Butte and kinyon mines. Since the
recent purchase over twelve tons of free
milling gold ore has been taken out
which milled about $100 to the ton.
The Yucca Tree. owned by Charles A.
koehn of Kane Springs, is situated one
and a half miles south of the Olympus
mine. 1t was started June 20, 1896. The
shaft is down seventy feet and the ledge
is from five to ten inches. Fifty tons
of free milling gold ore has been taken
out up to Nov. 10Th, averaging $3.50 to
$3.50 to the ton. There are a dozen diff
ferent stringers to the mine and indica-
tions point plainly to an immense body
of ore
st. Elmo mines are in the Randsburg
district. but just over the line in San
Bernardino county. a town site will
soon be laid out in the vicinity. There
Is five-stamp mill at Cuddeback lake.
SIX miles east of the mines. and Los An
geles parties will soon build a twenty
stamp mill in the same vicinity. Messrs
Drou1llard. Pyle Bros. and Borquardt
Bros. are the owners of the st. Elmo
group OF eight claims. Nos. l. . and )
only are in active operation. The ore is
free milling gold and sulphurates, as
says showing 81 silver to $1,000 gold In
st. Elmo No. l 300 feet of work has been
done in shafts and. drifts; the ledge is
from two to two and half feet: 100 tons
OF ore mas been taken out. ten tons mllled
showing an average of $3.50 per ton, un-
sorted ore showing 500 to the ton. In
No. only fifteen feet has been devel-
oped in shafts; l40 sacks have just been
sent to Garlock mill. being the first ore
shipped. Assays show $135 to the ton.
In No. not much active work has been
done as yet but the indica tions are as
good as the other two.
ADVICE TO PROSECUTORS.
Until more and larger mills are erect
ed adjacent to Randsburg large num-
Der of men cannot expect continuous
employment in the mines; hence it is
unwise for men without means to go
there at present. Men with a little capt.
tai can prospect for or purchase claims
and work them, or they can make from
so to 81 per day dry washing. but this
takes little capital also. For instance,
a secondhand dry washer costs from S25
to $40, which with other supplies will
cost about s1O0 For prospecting,
burro outfit is the best and that will cost
about $l00
