Gently took out $500 in two weeks with
dry washer in Virginia Dale district.
Two Mexicans took out 5000 in two
weeks at dry washing in the same dis

gets of $50 and $40.
The Fresno county oil district, near
Huron, on the west side, is developing
very satisfactorily. There are now six
wells flowing good streams of petro.
leum, and several carloads of crude oil
are being shipped out daily. Two COM
panies, in which eastern capitalists are
largely interested, are boring wells, and
some big Developments are expected.
A correspondent writes from Dandy,
San Bernardino county, regarding the
mining district south of that place. He
says that rich ore has been taken out
and is being taken out by mining men,
who have gone to work in business
like way, but.that the district has been
queered by spectators and inexperi-
enced operators.
A corporation with millions of capital
behind it has been organized for the
development of mining properties in
the United States and Territories and
in British North America. On this side
of the Atlantic John W. Mackay, Henry
L. Letter and D. O. Mills are reported
to be among the heaviest stockholders,
while in Euroep the Rothscihlds, the
Duke of Teck and other mobiles are
named.
A two-stamp mill has recently been
erected at the mine owned by T. J.
Harris & Bros. of San Emigdio. The
property is located on Frazier noun
tain, Ventura county. The first mill
run of twelve tons of ore was made
about a month ago, and the cleanup
produced over $500, making it more
than $25 per ton of ore. There is large
amount of ore in sight, which will prob
ably run higher than the first milling.
Several gold mines at Camp Todd, in
San Mateo canyon, few miles from
Fallbrook, have been sold to compan
that has already begun the coretruc-
ton of road right in and will at once
proceed to erect smelter. The prices
obtained for the mines are considered
low. Four of them were sold for about
$4,000, but ais this involves the building
of road and the erection of smelter,
it is satisfactory, to the camp at least.
San Diego Union.
Within the last few weeks very rich
strike of gold bearing ore has been made
within ten miles of San Bernardino.
Almost all of the prospecting done by
residents of this locality is done out on
the desert and little attention has been
paid to trying to locate mines close at
home. The rich strikes made in Lytle
Greek for the last 20 or rs years has
demonstrated that the mountains north
and west of here contain gold and that
all that is needed to locate good claims
is thorough prospecting.
The first active and efficient advertis-
ing of the gold resources of California
since the beginning of the revival will
be that afforded by the great Golden
Jubilee and the fair to be started at
about the same time, January "a next.
California is the most inviting and
proftab region in the world, and this
is SO evident that men may easily be
convinced of it. It's record is so vast
and it's legitimate production and pros
pertiy at the present time are SO great
that it cannot suffer by being regarded
as "boom" region out of which the
bottom may fall. The Klondike rush
of next spring is the thing which has
mainly impelled the mining and bust
ness men to get up the mining exposi-
ton which is planned. Especial efforts
are to be made in many ways to draw
this travel and the trade accompanying
it to San Francisco as the point of out
fitting and departure. The San Fran
cisco Miners Association proposes to
do for mining what the State Board OF
Trade has been doing in its field.
