MOJAVE MINES
CRIPPLE CREEK CAPITALISTS
INVESTING HEAVILY
Rich Ledges Running From $40 to
$4,000 Ton in Gold and
Silver

| MOJAVE, Cal, May 21-The Mojave
mining district, organized November 20.
1896, has not been doomed" through
newspaper articles or otherwise. the
leading mine owners being opposed to
such methods, deeming it best to quiz
city but speedily develop their claims
and show thereby the character and ex-
tent Of ores in the district.
Your correspondent was one of the
organizers of the district, and is now
developing one Of his claims, hence the
following information can be relied up
on implicitly by readers of The Herald.
Since the district was organized about
200 claims have been recorded, the as
sessment work on most of which has
already been done, owing to the wise
feature of the district law requiring
assessment work to be done within nine
ty days after recording claims.
The district extends seven and one
half miles in every direction from the
Jumbo claim, which is situated five
miles southwest of Mojave. Soledad
peak, the highest mountain on the Mo-
jave desert. and its surrounding buttes
are practically the center of the dis
trict, geographically and in mining op-
erations. Considerable outside capital
is already invested in the mines. notable
among the capitalists interested being

district, who is shipping high grade
base ore, running from $50 to $500 per
ton. His last carload, shipped to the
Selby company, San Francisco, netted
him $3.50, notwithstanding the fact that
the cost of mining, shipping and smelt-
ing aggregates over $40 per ton,

all the mines will turn to base ore In
depth and materially increase in value
as they go down, owing to the fact that
they are chiefly contact veins. He Is con-
f1dent that the Mojave mining district
will become one of the richest In Califor-
mia, and, in his opinion, a chlorination
plant would treat these ores successfully
and 1t would pay to start that or cy~
anide works in the district at once.

MR.. BRYAN'S LECTURE TOUR.

Mr.. Bryan's lecture tour has come
to an end. 1t was not a success finan-
cially or otherwise, and he has can
celled all his engagements.
1t was hardly possible that a series
of lectures by him so soon after the
campaign could be a success. He was
identified with a great movement and
became the organized head of it. But
the people decided against Mr.. Bryan
and having done so, they naturally
lost much interest in the defeated
candidate. 1t would have been the
same no matter who the candidate
might have been, for so soon as an
election is over there is reaction
from the strain and excitement of a
campaign. During the late campaign
tae strain and excitement were much
greater than during ordinary presiden-
tial campaigns, and the people were
wrought up as they have not been
since war times. When the election
was over the reaction came and the
people desired a rest. Mr.. Bryan's
lecture tour began at the very mo-
ment they were most DESTROYS of this
rest. His managers made the mistake
of starting him on his tour at the
moment the excitement over his brill
liant campaign was beginning to ebb.
Then his lecture was very largely
continuation of the discussion of the
issues of the campaign, and the peo-
pie had palled of discussion of them.
The failure of Mr.. Bryan is easily
explained by the statement that his
tour began at an inopportune time.
The choosing of an inopportune time
was unfortunate for him in the ex-
IRENE, as it followed a defeat for the
presidency with signal failure. There
is still the same merit in the cause he
championed; he is still the brave and
magnanimous and great leader that
he was, and those who stood so loyalty
behind him all through the campaign
still have for him the greatest respect
and highest regard. The unfortunate
termination of his lecture tour will be
regretted by them.
