MINES AND MINERS
The Rand District

RANDSBURG, Aug. G.-New strikes
seem to be the order of the day in the Rand
mining district. The early part of the
week another find was made in the Little
Butte mine. Men have been working for
some time, stopping In the western drift
a. the 3sO-foot level, and have been taking
out good ore. In one of their daily tours
through the mine Manager Clark and Fore
man Meade took occasion 10 examine more
closely the foo:wall in this drift, and to
their surprise they found rich body Of ore
fourteen inches wide in the bottom OF the
drift, about fifty feet from the shaft. The
ore extends clear across the drift and lay
under the track Of the car. In sx-days'
run OF ore through their two-stamp mil!
they cleaned up sll00 in bullion. Another
shaft about 200 feet to the east Is being
sunk, and when the 2S0-foot level Is reached
a drift will be run to connect with the east-
ern drift from the main shaft at that level.
The first OF the week the Blackhawk
people encountered a strong ledge Of high
grade ore in the cross cut from the drift In
the shaft on the line between the Blank
hawk and the o. X. mines. The ore ran
up into the hundreds per ton, and the after
noon after the strike was made three tons
were placed upon the dump. A few tons
OF this ore will make their bank account
heavy and will enable them to push devel
opment work on the mine. In another
shaft they have a good body Of ore, ana
beginning with the first of the month they
expect to have large milling at the Jo-
hannesburg reduction works. This week
an old dump was hauled to the mill at
Cuddyback lake for treatment.
At the Blackboard mine few days ago a
good strike was made and paying ore is
being taken out. In the same neighbor-
hood Mr.. Matthews, the owner Of the Hunt
irgton mill at Garlock has leased one Of
Mr.. James mines and has placed Mr.. Hen
ders on. lately of Angels Camp. in charge
Of both mill and mine. The mill has been
thoroughly renovated and 1t is expected
the product OF the mine will more than
keep the mill running.
On Monday last the Johannesburg reduc-
ton works cleaned UP. after run Of l20
tons Of Butte ore.
Last spring when the census was taken
there were 1890 people in camp; the regis
tration returns show the names Of $50 for
both Randsburg and johannesburg. More
registered than was expected, and It shows
the interest that Is being taken in the COM
ing election. This district will cut quite
a figure In Kern county politics.
Up to the present time over $500 claims
have been recorded in the Rand district.
Some OF these have become open ground,
owing to the locators not doing the neces-
sary assessment work.

SANTA BARBARA BREVITIES
Transportation for Foresters Causes a
Rumpus-Cave, Honolulu

SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 1.-The mem
bers of the committee on arrangement, who
have the reception, comfort and entertain
ment Of the high court of Foresters, who
will convene In this city October II, 70 and
13, have been greatly annoyed by the &C
ton taken by w. H. Perry of Los Angeles
high secretary Of the order, in the rail
transportation matter The committee,
with the board of trade met last night and
held heated meeting. II seems that Mr.
Perry secured a round-trip rate from Santa
Barbara 10 Los Angeles and return for
the benefit of visiting delegations, Of 50 25
He so notified the arrangements committee
here. The act was appreciated, as no such
low rate ever has before been accorded
But the date, September Is, on which It was
to take effect, raised storm Of indigna-
ton. The committee views 1t as drec.
bid to draw all the visitors and their frie Ids
(some seven of eight hundred, perhaps a
thousand) away to Los Angeles, without
allowing them time to look trip around this
section and Incidentally leave a portion
of their coin here. Hence, this morning
the secretary of the local committee wrote
by instructions of the meeting last night,
making a vigorous protest to Mr.. Perry
and desiring that he secure resetting of
the time from the 18th to the 18th, thus al
lowing the visitors to remain here over
Sunday. The Foresters here are said to
be very hot over the alleged deep scheme
of the Angelenos.

johannesburg Developments

JOHANNESBURG, Aug. N.-Thursday
Mr.. Porter, one OF the owners of the Por-
ter & Weaver mill in TUDOR canyon, ar
rived in johannesburg with two gold bars
worth $750 each. This was the result of a
recent cleanup at that mill Of ore from the
Montgomery Bros mine. Fifteen hun
dren feet Of work in shafts and drifts has
been done on the mine, and it is said they
have 1000 tons of ore on the dump awaiting
milling.
On Wednesday test run of some very
rich ore from the Slate range was made at
the johannesburg reduction works.
This week ore has been hauled from the
Ruby mine to the mill at Cuddyback lake
Good reports are continually coming in
from the Argos range. Lately Messrs.
Huston, Fa!rchild, Nosser and Alfred Of
this place took up four claims in that range
at the head Of Wilson's canyon and near
Lewis mill. They opened up the mines
by doing the necessary assessment work
and have ore on the dumps ready for mill
ing. Assays of ore from three of the
claims ran as follows: Alta, sS2. go per ton !;
Mountain Boy, 1892; Sadie, $32. 90. All OF tho
assays showed some silver. The ore is
base, and the rule in that section Is that 1t
grows richer as 1t goes down.
This week the Rustler mine changed
hands, Edmund Dryden buying 1t Of G. W.
Blodgett. This mine lies between the Ala
media mine and the town Of johannesburg,
and will no doubt prove paying investment
to its owner. The locator, G. W. Blodget,
is an old man, bowed with the weight Of
his three score years and ten, but with all
that he has more energy and vim than many
younger man. He prospected the
ground, found ledge and opened up the
property himself. There is never a day,
however warm, that he Is not to be seen

and short time ago he found the ledge
on the Windy claim where they are sink

so good that he dug down few inches and
uncovered the ledge
On Thursday Edmund Dryden received a

On Saturday evening Mrs. Hushaw and
son Herbert returned from their summer
outing at Los Angeles and Ontario. Mr..

Threatened Scarcity Of Drillers and
Toolers
The low prices of Oil during the past
months-hence affecting the number OF
wells put DOWNS having a marked infiu-
ence in scattering the drillers and toolers
to other fields. Some have gone to the
north, some to Coalinga, some TO Ventura

driller, James Jones, starts this week for
Hawaii for a year to drill water wells on
a sugar plantation. The McRea brothers

were discovered. new difficulties would be
met in the way Of again securing expert
I enced drillers and toolers.
| A cursory glance Of the field reveals doz-
ems of wells that are pumped out, and In
spector Monlux Is arranging to have their
derricks removed.
| One firm owning eight wells has aban-
doned five and has commenced pulling the
pumping apparatus out. Another firm near
at hand has three, and so on.
The only movement In the field In tn E
way of developing new wells is in the west
ern extension of the west field, but this is
not very extensive. Hughes & Strasburg
on east side Of Bonnie Brae are moving
their rig to a new place, as the old could
not be worked. The on company on Mira
mar street, Campbelrs lot, have been set
back two weeks by an accident to casing
and bull wheels.
The Rex OF! company on Quebec street
has been stopped a week and has, when it
begins again, tough fishing job.
Parker & Craig on Miramar street. Nc
Guinnis' lot. have only put up derrick
and are not pushing things.
The Yukon OIL company on the same
street has succeeded in getting down
through the hard formation with four
strings Of casing and have one we'll pump
ing.
The same company has other territory
near at hand, but the larger portion is tied
up by lawsuit.
The outside reports say Rommel, four
miles toward Santa Monica, has nothing for
a showing but barrel Of thick surface oil,
and he is down 800 feet IN b gibody Of
water. If better things do not appear soon
he will move.
Kellerman's effort in Ventura shows lit
orally nothing at a depth of 800 feet. and
he has commenced operations in the line of
validating near Newhall.
The SLOGAN OIL company has also pushed
out to Newhall.
AS the combination expires of the oil pro-
ducers of Los Angeles on the LIST of Janu-
airy, 1899, representatives from all parts of
the fields are preparing for a meeting to
formulate an agreement Of action to cover
a period Of years.

One Of the hank md File

To the Editor OF the Los Angeles Herald:
A rumor Is circulated to the effect that Mr..
Newberry Of Los Angeles is to bekeemtito
Washington to use the influence OF the
Los Angeles people to have the Seventh
regiment mustered out. The largest pro-
portion OF the officers of the Seventh are
very much alarmed lest they lose the soft,
easy snaps they have at present, especially
those In high authority. There are very
few OF the officers that ever drew salaries
as large as they now DO.
1t Is a shame and disgrace to keep the
boys here and allow them to die on just
to suit the pleasure and pockets OF the
officers of the Seventh. Three men died
today; two In Company H and one in Com
pany F. There are four or nve others who
are not expected to live twenty-four hours.
From one company alone, Company H,
there are over twenty-four In the hospital,
while Company A has ten or twelve In the
hospital, and Company l Is just about the
same. Other compa MES have all the way
from ten to twenty men unfit for duty. On
drill the companies are able to turn out
only 60 men out OF LOG, 80 you can see the
state the regiment Is In at present, with
chances Of Its going from bad to worse.
I am only private, but have seen
enough to know that they are not treat
