MINES AND MINERS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
California


A nice piece of gold was taken out of
the Cooper mine in the Panamint about
two weeks ago. 1t came from the hang
ing wall of a very narrow stringer, was
about thirteen inches long, almost round
in shape and contained very little
quartz. There was $500 in the piece.
King & Son struck a good, rich string
er in Pleasant canyon a few days ago.
but nothing is yet known of it's extent.
Stottler, the storekeeper at Panamint,
has some rich ore out ready for the mill
which will be crushed as soon as the
mill can be had.
Encouraging reports are constantly
being received from mines around
Needles. Thos. Cannon has made a
good strike on one of his claims near
Fenner and has a force of men taking
out ore for shipment. p H. Kean is
employing eight men on his property and
always has something to show for the
work done. Frank Holmes, Tim May and
q number of others are steadily at WORK
up in the Ell Dorado canyon country,
and report excellent prospects. w. :.
Van Slyke & Sons are sinking on the
Monumental mine at Sunrise mountain,
and a cyanide plant for the working of
their ores will soon be erected in the
vicinity of Needles. j. w. Tuck has re-
newed operations on his properties with
an augmented force of workmen. Not
much is being done at Ibex just now, but
a number of men will be put to work
there in a short time. A good strike
was recently made in one of the claims
belonging to the Boundary Line COM
pany.
l. N. Inskeep, secretary of the Los An
geles business college. has taken an in
terest in mining lately. He has bought
one-quarter interest in the Webb group
of mines at Randsburg from B. o. Webb.
The additional five stamps for the Po-
mona mill are expected to arrive daily at
Garlock, and they will be put in place rs
soon as they arrive, increasing the ca
pacity of this mill to ten stamps.
Virginia Dale placers are said to be
producing about $1,000 per week with
fifteen men at work.
The Henry Milling company Of Rands-
burg contemplates putting in a concen-
traitor of an improved fashion in the
near future. A mill run of ore is now be-
ing taken out Of the Mountain View
mine near Stonewall, San Diego county
by the Mountain View Mining company
a new corporation, which is developing
it's properties.
Santa Barbara reports a number of
good claims located in Romero canyon
eleven miles from Montecito. Some as
says of the ore are reported to be S1S
per ton.
c. A. Ludden, president of the Inyo
County Mining and Development COM
pany, is looking for first class smelter
man to run the smelter now being erect
ed at Darwin, Inyo county, Cal. For
further particulars address The Herald.
Good reports come from the Cameron
Mccormick mine near Castle peak, and
it promises to open UP a rich and valu-
able property This mine is located near
Bridgeport and not far from Dunder-
burg.
The Bridgeport Chronicle Union says:
We hear from good authority that the
Jordan mill is doing good work on the
ore from the Jordan mines under the
superintendency of Dan e. Jones, who
proposes to make a success of the work
ing of 400 tons of the ore now coming
out of the mines. Mr.. Jones knows
more about the ores of that district
than any other man in that section of
the country.
The market on the exchange the past
week has been quite active. Pacific
Consolidated, with heavy sales, has held
it's own remarkably well. An advance
in this stock is looked for within the next
few days, the reports coming in from the
mine being excellent. Wedge closed
strong last week at 3as bid. This stock
is selling at less than its value. 1t is
confidently expected that the stock will
sell for cents within the next two
weeks.
Magganetta continues to hold strong
at about 3A cents.
(. East AmargOsa, a cheap prospect
stock, at anything under $40 per 1000, is
considered good purchase. Situated
as it is adjoining the Amargosa proper
ties and having good ground, it will nc
doubt prove producer in time.
Mohawk-Acton is also a good buying
proposition.
The Randsburg Placer and Quartz
Mining company is about to place its
stock on the market. 1t owns 320 acres
OIL ROOQ placer STOuIu anu JS WoIhiIis,

chase at cent per share.
