MINES AND MINERS
ooooooooooooooooooocoooo

The San Bernardino Sun says that
mine have been sold to r. S. Grant for
$4,000. The threatened litigation over
the properties has been averted and the
work in the Rose will go on uninterrupt-
edly.
The Rose mine people owned three
claims, the Rose, the Coupon and the
Christie. But between these properties
there was a wedge shaped piece of
ground which was not located, and
which Watts and his partners discover
ed and located as the Gem claim. In fol-
lowing the ore in the Rose mine, it is
claimed that it led across the line from
the properties owned by the company,
and that ore was really being taken out
below ground on the Gem.
Soon after this discovery the Rose
mine people asked for a patent, and here
they ran afoul of the owners Of the
Gem, and the other claims, who asserted
that the ground sought to be patented
encroached more on their claims than
the original placing Of the monuments
would justify-in other words, 1t was
claimed that some monuments had beeIl
changed from their original location.
No end of ugly charges were made,
and a bitter fight at first seemed immi-
nent. But A. M. Ham had become inter-
ested in the holdings, and it is under
stood that through him the sale was con-
summated, and the property will now
peaceably change hands and the original
locators will be paid for their claims.

THE MONUMENTAL GROUP
Remarkable Claims For a Needles
Property

Much has been said about the wonder
full body of ore located about IL miles
from Needles in this county, known as
the Monumental Group of Mines, says
the San Bernardino Times-Index. But
now w. E. Van Slyke, the locator of the
property, with E. Summers Of this city,
and one of the principal owners, in
forms us that reputable mining ex-
pert, ]. C. Clennell, has declared it the
most extensive and, considering its
size, the finest prospect he has ever
seen.
The Mountain mine is one Of three,
the others being the st. Louis and Gold
Bullet, controlled by the Monumental
Gold Mining and Milling company. Dan
Palmer of the Union Stock Yards of st.
Louis, is president, and w. A. Ramsby
and Severance, also of st. Louis, secre-
tary and treasurer. The capital stock
is $1,000,00O, or 10000 shares Of a par
value of $40 each. The stock is not as
sessable.
The mines will be the most famous in
this section, not on account of the rich
ness of the rock, but on account of the
extent of the ore body. The ends of the
three claims touch each other, each 1890
long and 800 feet wide. OF the 300 feet
200 is solid ore, averaging Sc to the ton.
The depth of the ledge is known to be
great from the formation of the coun-
try. Mr.. Clennel says there is enough
ore in sight to run plant of a capacity
Of 1000 tons of ore day for 80 years.

Mining Notes

The mines of the Shirt Tail mountain
in Arizona are said to be producing some
excellent ore. Mining men from Califor-
mia are becoming interested in that Sec
ton.
The cyanide plant near Perris, River
side county, where the tailings of the old
Krag mine are being worked, is paying
quite well.
The mining season along the lower
Trinity river bids fair to be prosperous
one. A great deal of activity Is also be-
ing shown in the placers of New River,
Trinity county.
The Marysville Appeal says there are
about thirty men working in the Good
Title mine at Indiana ranch, where the
ten-stamp mill was recently started
A new mining district known as Black
Lake has been organized in Mono coun-
ty. The mines lie about six miles north
west of Benton, in the Sawmill range of
mountains. Black Lake, three miles
from the mines, will supply plenty of
water for milling purposes.
The Rose mine, San Bernardino coun-
ty, which has a shaft 900 feet deep, keeps
it's ten-stamp mill running night and
day.
AS usual at the end Of each year, a
number of Strikes" are recorded, the
result of doing assessment work or
claims. 1t is, after all, work which makes
a mine out of prospect hole, and WORK
which makes all the strikes.

The Banner District

The Banner mining district Is soon to
have fair and impartial test as to it's
productiveness and possibilities, says
the San Diego Sun. The Cuyamaca road
has transported a complete outfit of the
celebrated Ingersoll compressed air tun-
neling machine for L. A. Bailey, owner
of the Kaintuck S. mine. The boiler has
capacity of 40 horsepower, the entire
plant Weighing $4,000 pounds. The tun-
mel, which is intended to cross all three
of the lodges, which have been worked
at disadvantage by all the old COM
panies, will strike in at the foot Of the
grade, and will be 1900 feet long. When
the contact is made the ledge will be
struck something like 300 feet below the
old works, and the development Of the
mine will be easily and completely ac-
complished leaving the ore in position
where it can be cheaply and advantage
ously handled.
Mr.. Bailey, in speaking on this score,
said: Eyes, the work on the tunnel will
settle things one way or the other, and,
as know what is in the three lodges we
are to tap, I haven't the least fear of
Banners not coming out on top. We
will be ready to begin work early in
February, and for the present will en-
ploy eight or ten men. We expect to
open up about $50 feet per month"

cles began to appear suggesting many
schemes for the Improvement of the
Mexican currency and for maintaining
its stability. To say they were ingenious
conveys but a faint idea of their con-
struction. The fangs of the goldbugs
were hidden in sentences woven with sill
yer cords. Their surface was as smooth
as velvet, but underneath were claws
capable of tearing out the life-blood of
the nation and blasting for years the
hopes of people who are just emerS-
ing from abyssmal darkness and super
.stition into light, truth and freedom of
thought.
This peculiar attitude of the Mexican
Herald-knowing as many did that Mr..
Guernsey, its editor, was not without the
requisite strength Of character to main
tain his honest convictions-was not a
little puzzling to those who had watched
its career. This change of sentiment in
the Herald occurred about the same time
the Mexican Railroad Tariff asso-
citation began the consideration of the
sliding tariff scale referred to above.
Assuming that the course of the Mexi-
can Herald on the currency question
was directed from the business office in
stead Of the editorial room, and assum-
ing to be true also the rumor that the
Mexican Herald is the organ of the Mex
lean Central railroad, the change of base
on the currency question is easily ex-
planned. This change continued nearly
up to the time of Mr.. Bryan's arrival,
when the silver key was struck again
and the whole machine responded to the
touch. There are two conclusions
to be drawn from this one
tempt of the Mexican Central
to have its sliding scale If tar
if adopted by the government, and the
other, that while Gen. Diaz is president
and Mr.. Limantour Secretary of the
treasury the honor Of the peso will be
maintained. My reference to the Mex
lean Herald in this particular, and the
conditions which produced the choas
and left the paper floating about in an
uncertain sea, without captain and
without a compass to guide it in it's devi-
ating course, Is for the sole purpose of
dispelling the impression which such q
course created in the states of the un-
certainty of the Mexican government on
bimetallism. That principle is fixed. i'm
movable. The power Of corporations
cannot shake it. Neither can their press,
with its sinuous movements, disturb it.
This point will be made clear by Mr..
Bryan in his forthcoming papers, which
will have the effect of settling once for
all the doubt about the permanency of
bimetallism in Mexico.

India and the Gold Standard

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
More and more it becomes apparent that
the governing authorities of England and
India are fully determined to eStaDlsh god
as the sole standard of value throughout
all India, incredible as such a proposition
may seem. If the going over to the gold
standard of 200, 600 900 people, in different
parts of the world, within the last twenty
five years, has caused such an increased
demand for gold (for gold, like every other
commodity. is liable-in fact, is sure--to
rise on increase of demand) as to cause it
to more than double in value. as meas
ured by silver, and to appreciate more
than 60 per cent as measured by other
staple commodities what additional rise
must that bedeviled commodity suffer by
being subjected TO a new demand from
SOC, 100000 more people in one body? Or to
put the question in another light, if the
70,OO0,OO0 people of this country require 1900
tons, or 100000, 900 of the metal gold, to
maintain their monetary system in practi-
cal working order, then the 300, 900, 900 people
of India, at the same ratio. will require
when the revolutionary scheme is carried
into full force and effect something like
four times as much of that metal, for
which almost the entire civilized world
seems to be insanely scrambling, to- wit:
1890 tons, or two billions four hundred
million dollars ($2, 400, 900 000) orn early one
half the gold in the hands of man!
Where is this immense mass of gold-or
one-half the amount. if India can work
the gold standard on the basis of one-haf
the amount of gold we require-to come
from? What would be the effect of a new
demand for even $1,000, CO0,000 in gold?
Would it not double and treble the unit of
value of every gold standard country, and,
as a necessary consequence, cause a fall
in the value of all other property to one
half or one-thrd it's present value?

The Guijas Mining District

Messrs. E. P. Read of Chicago, and l..
j. McNutt of Jefferson, Ohio, returned
from the Guija Mining district Sunday,
where they have been examining the
Golden group mines, which are owned
by Mr.. Read, says the Tucson Star. The
assessment work has been completed
and the work developed show the ore in
richness and quantity continues. The
Golden group adjoins the Grant group,
which are owned by the Guijas Mining
company, and which are being extern
sively developed, and during the last
month have produced some very rich
ore, and in fact the work for the month
has all been very encouraging. These
mines are owned in Toledo, Ohio, and are
all and more than they have BEEN rep
resented to be. The Guijas district is
bound to prove a very rich and great
gold producer for the gold is there. The
district has not yet been half prospected.
Messrs. Read and McNutt Leave for the
east this morning. 1t is their intention
within sixty days to put large force
of men to work on the Golden group of
mines and make ready for mill for

IN NEW MEXICO
Camps Pushing to Make Big Record
For 1896

The mining men in New Mexico are
looking forward to the years work with
an eagerness that they have never ex-
perienced before, says the Phoenix Re-
publican. The prediction is that 1898 is
going to be more than record breaker
for the mining industry. Many well
posted men do not hesitate to express
their belief that the production of gold
and copper will be double that of 1897.
This opinion is based on the fact that in
nearly all the leading camps attention
has been given during the past six
months to the placing of new machinery
for milling the ores and in development
work. At Cochiti, White Oaks, in the
Mogollon camps, in the Santa Rita and
Pinos Altos districts. a splendid lot of
machinery has lately been placed or is
now going i'm.
At Pinos Altos the Pacific properties
are being most intelligently handled by
D. B. Gillett, Californian representing
Mrs. Hearst. He is sinking four shafts
to the depth of 1000 feet, and in doing
so has encountered bodies of ore that bid
fair to make Pinos Altos gold producer
for over thirty years, more famous than
ever. Gigantic pipe line and milling en-
terprises have been planned and work is
now progressing thereon all about Sill
yer City, from which point Pinos Altos
is nine miles distant. 1t is probable that
a narrow gauge railroad connecting the
two places will be completed this year.
The A. T. & s. F. is building four miles
out from San Jose station, near Silver
City, to open the vast iron and copper
deposits known to exist there and the
assurance that the Santa Rita section is
to be steadily worked from now on
means that New Mexico will this year
take a place among the copper produc-
ing states far in advance of what she
enjoys today.

high rank among the great wealth pro-
ducers of Arizona. 1t is also understood
that negotiations are pending looking to
the bonding of other properties here and
mining men are beginning to take adj

The Julian District

A crushing of ore from the Mountain
View mine is said to have yielded SIS per

The Helvetia has been worked lately
for several months, and has produced
good ore.
Mr.. Couts is running his Ranchito

The dumps of the San Diego mine are

lieve these statements. 1t has long been

the cheapest method of recovering gold.
1t is also known that the largest aurifer-
Gus gravel fields of the United States are

such calculations of value or profit as
the one cited are absurd. Gold sent to
