WILD CALIFORNIA BURROWS
Hundreds Of the Animals Have Ac-
cumulated About the Slate
Range.

Large droves of wild burros have been
discovered in the Slate Range locality.
These burros had their beginning from
prospecting parties or whose owners per-
ished in the desert. The animals col
lected about the Slate Range and through
long years have accumulated, until now
there are hundreds of them. says the Los
Angeles Times.
Ed Baker, an old desert teams,er, Wis
tied the section last week, and in the vi
cinity of Lone Willow, one Of the few
watering places, got sight of severa.
droves Of these wild burros. In one
drove he counted 55, in another 30 and
in another 25. He thinks there were al
least 200 burros in sight when he entered
the little valley.
Tie creatures were quietly browsing
or resting here and there. but on sight
Of Baker the nearest droves were OF uE
the valley. .s@
AS they swept along they were Joined
by other droves, until the noise of their
hoofs pounding on the earth as they few
along filed the valley with continuous
roar, which died away as the droves dis
appeared over the hills
Baker is organizing party to under
take the capture of these burros. They
live in an isolated section where there is
little water, but among the canons of the
Slate Range there is an abundance oi
feed.
1t is proposed to surround the valley
where they generally feed, after buildins
a corral at one end, and gradually chase
them into the enclosure, much after the
tactics USED in rabbit drive. Baker be.
lieves that there are over 1000 burros il
the vicinity.

BETTER THAN
BREYFOGLE Mine

Five years ago southern Nevada
attracted little attention as a region
OF great, though undeveloped miner
al resources. The mines at Good
Springs, Searehlight, Johnny and
Quartette in southern Lincoln county
were known and some rather desul-
tory work was in progress. Many
stories were current of phenomenal
finds by the prospectors who crossed
the desert in early days, among them
being the Breyfogle and the Gunsight
nes-discoveries reputed TO be of
fabulous richness, but of indefinite To-
cation, as the alleged discoveries were
never again able to find the rich veins
The discovery of the Tonopah veins
gave the first substantial impetous to
the development of that section of the
country, and then rapidly followed the
discovery of Gold Mountain, Crater,
Ray, Lone Mountain, Goldfield, Bull
Frog, Ida, Kawich or Gold Reed and
number of other, but as yet lesser
camps, until today Southern Nevada
is one of the most active mining fields
in the world. The discoveries made
at Tonopah, Goldfeld and Bullfrog
lend a color of truth to the stories
told by the pioneers who came into
California from Utah by the way of
Death Valley in the early days, for
none of the reported discoveries of
those times can compare with the ac-
tual results obtained at the surface
of the ground in the Goldfield district
within the past year. The old stories
were of iron stained quartz in which
could be seen free gold running hun
dreds of dollars per ton, but none of
the argonauts told of the desert sand
nearly half gold, as was found in a
few instances in Goldfield, as on the
Sandstone and some other claims,
where the fortunate discoverers shov-
eled up the surface soil, rejecting the
roots of the greasewood, which were
burned and their ashes added to the
pay dirt, and the bedrock swept as
clean as a floor TO obtain the last
grain of the precious gold. Exchange
