The following extracts from a brief

If active development Of mining

boom, then the Rand district is indeed
booming. The recent rich strikes of ore
in the Pinmore Minnehaha, Little Butte
Wedge, and Nancy Hanks Qatter one of

and it is the opinion of experienced but
conservative mineralogists that the big
bodies of ore in this district have, as yet
been scarcely touched.
THE RAND GROUP OF MINES
The recent and amicable settlement of
all litigation over the celebrated Rand
group of mines is an event of great i'm
portance not only to the owners of that
property, but also to other mine owners
. and citizens generally Of the entire Rand
district, as it removes every obstacle in
the way of a thor ough and systematic
development of the most extensive and
valuable mining property in the south
ern half of California, if not the entire
state. Following are the names of the
claims: Rand, Trilby, Olympus, yell

from so to $50. The ore II dumped from
the bucket to the car. thence run on
tramway across the gulch to the main
ore chute. which is 305 feet In length and
runs down the slope of the mountain at
an angle Of 81 degrees. The ore runs
into the ore bins, from which the heavy
teams are loaded, which have capacity
Of sixteen tons to a load, wagon and
trail.
1t is a noticeable fact that the cost of
delivering ore from the mines to the
wagons is only 71s cents per ton by the
above ore chute process, whereas by the
old method of sacking and gulching 1t
was fully $130 per ton.
Across the gulch road from the Trilby,
west, at the top of the main ore chute,
is a branch tunnel and track that fol-
lows the Olympus mine ledge, which will
be 400 feet long when completed and
about $50 feet below the summit Of
Mount Trilby.
The ore above this track can be cheap
ly mined and delivered at the ore bins
by the ore chute system. The ledge
ranges from to 6 feet in width and the
ore averages $50 per ton.
Above the Olympus tunnel and track,
95 feet vertically, is the old Olympus
tunnel, 800 feet in length and incline 100

of California remarked to the owners
about the same time: Boys, you have
a good thing; get a 1O0-stamp mill and
shovel in the entire mountain, for it is
all ore!"
1t is fact worthy of mention that not
one dollar has been expended upon this
property except wha has been taken out
of the mines, and that there has never
been a month when they failed to yield
profit. Moreover, there has never been
foot of development that has not added
to the value of the property. Through

The present owners have incorporated

acquired an interest in the property by

by all who are interested in the Rand
district that the name given to this

test the value Of the solid mass of un-
sorted ore. With cheaper water and
milling facilities and railroad commu-
nication with the outside world the vast
bodies of low-grade, unsorted ore in
these mountains will alone doubtless
aggregate in value many millions Of
dollars.
From November, 1895, to February,
1896, vast amount Of dry washing was
done near the summit OF the Trilby
mountain. Five dry washing machines
are known to have produced $1,000 per

in these works, which will be mined and
hauled cheaply by the 400-foot tunnel

being made. to extend eastward toward
the new railroad and westward to the
west side of the mountain. This road
will enable the company to reach i'm
mense bodies of ore by wagon that would
otherwise be inaccessible. In grading
the road several very promising lodges
were found. from one of which the ore
