the manufacture of Irvine in the

with the free labor in the State,

lapse Of the district when the Legal
Tender mill was taken away twas
some time during 1896 that George
Sjmmons, a Merry man from Texas,
oho had spent many years mining
aud prospecting in Arizona, Nevada
and California with varied success,
was hunting for the golden fleece
aud while prospecting on the slope OF
Sugar Loaf Peak about three miles
east OF Crossman spring found a
peculiarly stained piece Of quartz,
which, when shown some of the other
pruspectors, they pronounced cop
per and of no particular value. Mr.
Simmons was not satisfied with their
conclusion and put the specimen IN
his pocket and thought over il. The
more he thought about it and the
more he examined it the more puz-
zled he was over it. He was sure it
wasn't copper. After thinking
about it and dreaming it over he
came to the conclusion that he had
seen something similar in New Mex
leo years before which proved to be
turquoise.
Then he began long and weary
and often heartbreaking search for
more of it, and it was not until eight
months afterward that he discovered
what is probably the largest and
most valuable turquoise deposit in
the world.
We camped at Crossman's spring
in the Crescent district for several
weeks, and saw evidences of prom
ising future mining camp. Several
properties are being developed and
their surface showings are said to be
better than those of Searchiight, tif-
teen miles away, and in one of which,
the Quartette, $1,000 ore was found
on the 600.foot level a day or two be-
fore the strike closed down the camp
and stopped the dropping of sixty
stamps.
THE WHOLE DISTANCE.
AS near as could be ascertained
the distance from Ivanpah station to
Daggett is about 100 miles, and from
Daggett to Los Angeles 100 miles,
making the total distance from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles in the neighbor
hood of 722 miles.

Gay rented the latter said that Gay had

story is very complete and may prove to

is close enough to warrant him holding
