TONOPAH BONANZA.


Among other data embraced in a
lengthy review of DE La Mars gold
mines in San Bernardino county, CAT
ifornia, by the Pacific Coast Miner,
in is shown that 1.-THE average value
of 80. 656 tons of ore was 81 % per
ton, while the average cost of mining
and milling was 81 6S per ton, and 1t
is remarkable that during the period
referred to the cost OF mining was re-
dued u cents and of milling 81 cents,
or a total reduction in cost of 81. Is
per ton, and there is reason to be-
lieve that since the data of these fig
ures, further economies have been
effected in both these items. The
mine to-day exhibits one of the larg-
est bodies of paying ore in this sec
ton OF the country, and its future
will be watched by all who are inter-
ested in the progress OF the mining
of low grade ores. In one respect
the property is unique. 1t was
bought and developed by the owner,
who never saw it, but was content to
purchase it and expend about half a
million dollars on it ON the statement
of one single expert. Here was cour-
age exhibited by both expert and

should Justly be termed a wildcat

is no clearly manifest tendency to
fraud or sharp practice it is some
times safe to give the property the
benefit Of the doubt, 1t is very easy
to call new or unproductive mining
property wildcat on the assump-
ton that it can never be anything
