are among some Of the problems now
perplexing the property owners of
Bakersfield.
Honors were even In the baseball
games of last Saturday and Sunday,
the Bakersfield boys defeating the Los
Angeles team on Saturday and the latter
turning the tables on them Sunday.
The location Of the Bakersfield depot
Of the Valley railroad has been definitely
settled at last. 1t will occupy the ground
where the South Methodist church now
stands and the yard, shops and round
house will cover about twelve half
blocks Immediately adjoining the depot
site on the west. The road has been
graded and the track laid to al point
twenty-five miles north of the Kern
county line. The twenty-five miles to
latter line has been graded, but no track
has been laid yet. From the county linz
south to Bakersfield, a distance of forty
miles, no grading or track laying has
been done yet, but 1t is now confidently
expected that the railroad will be COM
pleted to Bakersfield by about New
Years.
The hotels at Bakersfield are doing a
good business for this time of year and
report excellent prospects.
RANDsBURG
]. D. Browne, deputy United States
mineral surveyor at Randsburg, was in
terviewed by the writer at Bakersfield
last night, eliciting the following in
formation: "Randsbeurg is now in a
condition similar to that of the horse
which has just got its second wind in an
exciting race, with good prospects of
reaching the goal with flying colors.
The aggregate output Of the Randsburg
district mines up to the present date will
certainly approximate nearly half a
million dollars. The list of mines here
with presented have produced the most
heavily so far with the following zap
proximate) figures: Rand group, nearly
100000; Butte. Kinyon and Butte
Wedge, about $70,0 900 each. Besides the
foregoing the Napoleon and Merced
have each produced about $4,000. The
st. Elmo, Petalmma, Alameda Val Yer
de and King Solomon group, also the
Rocket mine, have been important pro-
ducers. Among recent discoveries
which promise to become leading mine
and heavy producers are the Little
Butte, Meteor, Minnehaha, Combina-
tion, Skookum, Hard Cash and the
William ]. Bryan.
1T is toothsome morseI to some
would-be wiseheads and experts to prate
about the uncertainty of Randsburg
mines attaining reasonable depth. TIL
present depth of the following mines
proves that the alleged fear is unbound
ed: The Buttee' Wedge is down about
400 feet, the Little Butte $50 feet, with re
ported good prospects in each; the S;
Elmo is down 200 feet, with double com
bination shaft and very fine hoisting
works; the King Solomon is down 24C
feet. Other mines vary in depth from
80 to 100 feet and some claims, on which
as yet mere prospect work has beer
done, have reached depth of over 100
feet each.
"There has been a marked increase in
Inquiries for good mining property in
Randsburg district during the past
thirty days and conservative people
predict there will be lively camp there
| before Christmas, especially if the. rail
road from Kramer to Randsburg is com.
pleted before that time"

JOHANNESBURG

JOHANNESBURG, Oct. 1.-(Regular
Correspondence.) Geo. M. Rose. who
for several years has had extensive min
ing interests near Rapid City, South
Dakota, few weeks ago bonded the
Irene and May Queen mines two miles
west of Randsburg for several thou
sand dollars. This week Mr.. Rose paid
the balance of the purchase price fov the
properties and they have now passed
into his possession. He has had force
of ten men continuously at work ON the
claims and has them now opened up in
good shape. On the May Queen he has
run 200-foot tunnel in the breast of
which at that depth he has, uncovered
a ledge of ore which promises well for
the future of that claim. The Irene has
been opened up with two shafts and in
each fine body of ore has been struck.
the ore from shaft No. 2 running $1OO to
the ton. Both shafts are on the same
ledge, which can be traced to the top of
the hill several hundred feet distant
All the claims in the immediate neigh
borhood have proved to be paying
properties, and from present indica-
tions the May Queen and Irene will fol-
low suit.
Mr.. Rose is enthusiastic in his belief
that this is the richest camp in Califor-
mia, and is backing his impressions with
cash, his expenditures since getting
hold of the properties amounting to
more than $1,000 per month. He is the
kind of man we need here.
Articles of Incorporation of the York
shire Lass Mining company have been
filed at Phoenix, Ariz with capita,
stock Of $5,000000. The directors are A.
c. Harper, H. F. Parker, W. B. Nc
Connell. e. j. Bauer John T. Jones aud
T. J. Harrington. The Yorkshire Lass
mine is good property and lies near
Randsburg.

SOLDIERS HOME

SOLDIERS HOME, Oct. 2.-(Regu-
lar spondence.) The new well they
are sinking at the Home is down to
depth of 447 feet, 255 feet Of which has
been through blue deposit of the con-
sistency of putty, which they are still
in The are now putting in a seven-foot
casing, and will continue sinking until
they strike water.
Changes continue among Home en-
ployes. Charles o. Pratt, formerly cap
tain of company A, Seventh Michigan
cavalry and adjutant on Clusters staff,
has been appointed to and assumed the
position of commissary sergeant, with
the Home rank of first lieutenant. vice
Glassner, removed. The resignation of
James McAuliff, lieutenant of the din
ing hall, has been accepted, and his cor
poral, John Turpin, has been appointed
lieutenant in his place. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Turpin will take full charge Of
the dining hall, without the assistance
of corporal.
William Kyle, young citizen of Los
Angeles, has been appointed to take
charge of the Home bakery, vice John
Mccain, an old soldier, who has salts
factoriy held the position for the last
two years.
1t will not be long now, on account Of
the increasing age and infirmities Of
the members of the Home that the more
important positions will have to be filled
by citizen employees.
The new assembly hall is fast ap
preaching completion. The roof, as
contrast to the rest of the buildings
whose shingles are colored red, will be
colored green, making pleasing con-
trast and relief to the eye.
Death has been kind to the old boys
at the Home. For the last two weeks
I have had to chronicle no funerals, and
today the only name to be added to the
list IS Reuben King, late of company E,
Forty ninth Ohio infantry, who was
buried yesterday.
