A PROSPEROUS CAMP
Randsburg's Gold Output for 'es Will
Aggregate a Million Dollars

RANDSBURG, April IA conservative
estimate of the output of bullion from the
Rand district for the three months just
past Is: January, $4,000; February, $7O.-
900: March $4,000. The expectation is that
this coming month will eclipse all others.
At the rate the mines are producing at
present, this camp will take out 81 900 900 of
gold for the year 1893. The Rand district
will produce lib of all the gold taken from
the gold-bearing camps Of the state. Leav-
ing out the placer camps (this camp pro-
ducng very little placer gold, 1t will pro-
duce lis of the entire gold output of the
state for the year 1898, taking as a basis the
entire amount of gold mined in California
during 1897.
At the present time there are between 800
and 400 men on the pay rolls of the district,
and between $4,000 and 100000 is expended
leach month for wages. 1t will be seen from
the above item that the camp is in a very
prosperous condition, although good
many men are idle because they cannot OBJ
tain work.
During the month Of March the Yellow
Aster Mining company cleaned up between
$44, 900 and $4,000 in gold. At its Garlock
mill last week the cleanup amounted to
5000. The company employs over 100 men
and the March pay roll amounted to 3d.
900. On Saturday 20 horsepower gasoline
|engine was taken from the depot at Jo-
hannesburg to one of it's mines
Last week Harry Watson had mill run
of two tons of ore at Cuddyback Lake, from
which he received between seven and eight
ounces of gold. This ore is taken from
shaft on Butte avenue, one of the principal
streets of Randsburg, and is the same as
the ore he shipped to Garlock three weeks
ago, the returns from which showed 81
per ton. The tailings assayed over 500 per
ton.
Three dry washers are at work just off
Butte avenue, and the men operating them
are making fair wages.
The agent for the new mill at Barstow is
in camp this week, purchasing low-grade
ore. Albert Smith, the manager, estimates
that the mill will probably be completed
by May list.
Tuesday evening a meeting of citizens
will be held at Wilson's hall to consider
sending a mineral exhibit to the Trans
mississippi! exposition to be held at Omaha
in the summer. 1t is a form of advertising
which should appeal to every public-spir-
tied citizen, and, as there is plenty Of ma
terial at hand, this district should have
one of the best exhibits there. The speci-
mems should be collected with the under
standing that they be sent from the ex-
position to the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce, to be placed permanently on
exhibit there.
For some weeks past complaints have
been made by different miners of the loss
of small quantities of ore, tools, powder
etc. 1t is about time the authors of this
petty thievery should be punished, as hard
working miners and prospectors can i'll af-
ford to lose the means and results of their
labors.
The stamps at the Eureka mill are
pounding away on 100 tons of rich Kinyon
ore. cleanup will be made Wednesday,

UNITED STATES COURT.
Burton Wants TO File n Claim Against

Burton Wants TO File Claim Against
the Boston g. Montana.
Robert c. Burton, through his attor-
neys, filed motion in the federal court
yesterday in the suit of the Globe Ma
tional bank of Boston against the Bos-
ton d Montana company, praying the
court to make an order in the suit di-
recting that he (Burton) be permitted
to file with the receiver a claim against
the defendant in the action for 10000
alleged to be due him, and that the
claim be referred to the special mas
ter in chancery.
In an affidavit accompanying the mo-
ton Mr.. Burton states the grounds
upon which the motion is based are to
the effect that on Jan. IL Mr.. Burton
held certain leases on the Snohomish
Tramway, Never Despair and Rarus
lode claims; that by virtue of u con-
tract made with Charles H. Palmer
who represented the defendant, the
latter agreed to pay Burton $4,000,
should the defendant purchase the said
property. The defendant did purchase
the properties and $4,000 was paid the
affiant, leaving a balance of $4,000 due
and owing. The affiant was given to
understand that the remaining $4,000
would be paid at such time as the de-
fendants finances permitted, and the
affant further understood that no ne
ceSSity existed Tor MIN TO begin suit to
recover. When the court directed that
all persons holding claims against the
company present them TO the receiver,
he was given not notice of the necessity
of his claim being thus presented. He
was engaged in mining in another sec
ton of the country at the time the or
der was made, and did not learn of
the action until after the time had
elapsed during which he might legally
present his claim. The affiant further
states that he had since learning of the
order disregarded the receivership mat
ter for the reason that an officer of the
company had informed him no action
was necessary and that the claim
would be paid.
With the other papers was filed a
copy of the original agreement, drawn
up between the affiant and c. II. Palm
er. as an evidence that Mr.. Burtons
claim is bona fide
