Is Found

LOS Angeles owners Of the Dorleska
mine, situated in Trinity county, have
lately been receiving good news from
their property and in the most sub
stantial way. The ten-stamp mill has
been working on recently developed
body Of ore, and cleanup in the lat
ter part of September yielded a bar
weighing over eight pounds avoirdupois,
worth S1975.50. A second cleanup on
the 14th of October, resulted in a bar
of sixteen and a half pounds avoirdu-
pois, worth $4,000. The Dorleska has
been worked with small force the
past year, but the favorable results of
the milling will be followed by the
sinking of the vertical shaft 200 feet
deeper. and the running of levels at
400 and 500 feet. The deepest level is
now 300 feet, with a range in good
ore so feet deeper.
The Dorleska is owned entirely in
Los Angeles, the principal stockholders
including VIM. M. Van Dyke, Judge
Olin Wellborn, Senator Frank p. Flint,
DIR. e. c.. Keller, Roland P. Bishop,
Carl Leonardt, T. F. Hayes, w. E.
Keller and H. q. Osborne and sons. Mr..
Osborne is president of the company.
The Dorleska has produced sixty-one
bars of bullion to its present owners,
averaging $1,000 each.
New Town of Orrviile
The Lucky T. Mining company of Los
Angeles, composed of twelve business
men, is developing group of claims
on a spur of the Kingston mountain
in Nye county, New, on the line of
the railroad from Las Vegas, and plat
ting a townsite some four miles from
the mines-in Ash Meadows-to be
known as Orrville. The mines are
showing up in a remarkable manner.
The mountain on which this property
is located is said to be a mountain of
free milling ore. In driving a tunnel
to cross-cut the main ledge nothing
but ore has been encountered, assaying
from a few dollars up to nine dollars
per ton, demonstrating that this prop
erty is a vast quarrying proposition of
high values. Much territory is being To-
Gated in this vicinity and high values
are expected when the main ledges
are cut. The company has some valu-
able springs of water, furnishing an
ample supply for all milling purposes.
With the completion of the railroad
which is now building and which is
expected to be running to Orrville in
a few months, a great mining camp will
be esta blished.
The officers of the company are H. L.
Reynolds, president; George S. Crump,
vice president; V. c. Miller, secretary
and treasurer. Directors: p ]. Hum
MEL o. T. Lockhart, r. S. Tompkins and
John Rogers. Capital stock, $1,500,000.
State Mineral Exhibit
In the matter of awards, California
stands first as a medal winner at the
Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland.
The state received thirteen gold, four
teen silver and thirteen bronze medals,
all of which is very creditable. While
the honor of the mineral production is
due to the state, the greater credit
of collecting, classifying and installing
the winning minerals is due to State
Mineralogist l.. E. Aubury, who in 1903
had sole charge of making the collec-
tion for the st. Louis exposition, and
the minerals exhibited at Portland are
the same ones that were displayed at
the st. Louis fair. Mr.. Aubury sent
competent men into the field, and made
the collection.
Bought the Big Lode
San Diego Sun. A $4,000 mining deal
went through here when papers were
formally signed by which ]. Thomas
Kerr and John C. Button of Cotton
sold to the Big Lode Mining and Mill
ing company OF Los Angeles the two
mining locations known as Big Lode
No. and Big Lode No. ..
The property is located about three
miles east of Rock Springs, and a
mile north of Old Holcomb valley.
This is some of the property which
was located last summer, during the
excitement occasioned by the finding
of a number of nuggets, picked up by
two Los Angeles women, who located
q number of claims in the region and
which precipitated the rush which i'm
mediately followed.
Kerr and Button are not the only
locators to make a stake, several
others having cleaned up quite little
money through the sale of undeveloped
locations, among the number being
Shirley Cummings and Henry Allen,
who recently sold to the Los Angeles
Mining syndicate a group of ten
claims for $4,000, this group being To-
Gated three miles east of the Big Lode
group, and being on an extension Of
the Big Lode ledge, which is said to
hold about the best looking rock un-
covered in the section for some time.
Quicksilver Mine
Few people perhaps know that Yuma
county has the only quicksilver mine
in Arizona. The property is located at
Cinnabar fourteen miles from Ehren-
berg. The mines are being operated by
the Colonial Mining company, which
has been carrying on development
work on considerable scale for the
past year. The results have been very
gratifying. A double compartment
