The Golden Cross Mines

| To the initiated, the bare statement
that 100 stamps are crushing the ore OF
the mines at Hedges will carry worlG
of meaning, but nothing short of an in
lspection of the great works and a triI
through the great mines would enable
those not conversant with mining to
grasp a very definite idea Of their mag
nitude, says the Yuma Sun.
The continual drop, drop of 100 times
1000 pounds means the reduction of 400
tons of rock and the extraction of from
$4,000 to $4,000 worth of gold every "a
hours daily.
Hedges has been for years one of the
most considerable mining camps in
Southern California, made so by the op-
Grafton of the Gold Cross Mining and
Milling company and, of course, has re-
ceived enough newspaper attention to
make the place we'll known by reputa-
tion all over the west. But not for years.
If ever, have the mines justified the
favorable comment that they now do.
The Importance of the skillful and
economical management becomes all the
more apparent when the enormous ex-
pense at which the mines are operated is
understood, the most significant item, of
course, being the payment Of 200 en-
ployes, at salaries ranging from So to IS
per day. But the expenses are carefully
kept within bounds, and a goodly bal
ance left to the other operators when the
monthly cleanup is made, which seldom
amounts to less than $50, 900.
The three big mines of the Golden
Cross group are known as the Cross, the
Crown and the Queen.
The latter is the northernmost and
about the deepest mine of the group but
is not being worked now to the extent
the other two mines are, due to the big
fire that wrought great damage in the
mine more than a year ago.

picion of his being the thief who has
stolen numerous lap robes from car
riages standing near the church About
six of these thefts have been reported to
Marshal Lacey from time to time. To-
day the churches were watched by the
marshal and his deputies. Williams,
who Is a rather tall man, about forty
years of age, wearing sandy moustache
and side whiskers, was seen to walk
back and forth in front Of the Christian
church during church time and evident
ly observe carefully the vehicles. Again
he was seen to deposit large black va
lise in a closet at the Baptist church on

geles, later contradicted himself as to

sumed that he kept the valise near him
