suit, but only of short duration. 1t Is
now thought that the main difficulty
has been remedied and no more trouble
is anticipated. At present the mill is
handling only sixty-flve tons of ore
per day, it's capacity being 150 tons
every twenty-four hours. AS soon as
everything is running smoothly it will
be put at it's full capacity.
The taking out of ore from the mine
continues steadily. There is sufficient
high-grade ore on the dump to keep the
mill running at it's full capacity for
several months to come.
Immediately joining the Pfau prop
erty on the south is the Copperopolis
group, owned by Jordan & Derrick, on
which development work is progressing
just started a large body of low-grade
ore has been encountered that gives in
dioations of improving in value as
depth is reached. The rich vein of the
Pfau mine dips into the Copperopolis
group, and it is thought will be en-
countered there at considerable depth.
The group comprises six full claims,
all of which show favorable Indications
for developing into paying ore bodies.
Rich Quartz Strike
One of the most important discov-
cries in quartz ever made in Northern
California was recently made within
three miles of Redding. Telluride ore
which yields an average of $7962 in
gold and 10 ounces in silver to the ton
was discovered in an abandoned placer
claim and the extent Of the ore body
is as yet undetermined, says the Red
ding Searchlight. singular coinci-
dence in connection with this fabu-
lously rich discovery is that the dis
coverers, the Mix brothers, were
reared in Shasta county, but the family
left Shasta in the early sixties, believ-
ing. that the future of the county as
a gold producer had passed. The rich
discovery was made In the bed of the
little gulch which is q tributary to Irish
gulch. Here were found several veins
of ore, some running parallel and di-
rectly along the line of the reef and
others directly at right angles to the
parallel lodges. The most northerly
ledge in the bed of the creek was pros
pected by means of small shafts or
holes six or eight feet deep, the ledge
being proved to be about three feet
in width.
Cinnabar Mine Sold
The formal transfer of the Klau mine
to the Little Bonaza Mining Co. has
been completed. This is one of the
largest deals in mining property ever
made in San Luis Obispo county. The
Klau mine, owned by the Karl Quick
silver Mining company has been oper-
ated by the company for several
years. The mine was shut down a
few weeks ago and since the cleanup
has remained idle. The mine has a
first class Scott furnace of 80 tons OF
ore daily capacity, is fully equipped
with buildings and machinery, and has
still some good ore left.
The Little Bonaza Co. owns the Alice
mine, located about four miles from
the Klau property. The ore from the
Alice, it is understood, will be brought
to the Klau furnaces to be retorted.
Nestor A. Young, mining engineer
of Los Angeles, Cal, well known to
the old residents of Prescott, has been
exporting, for eastern capitalists, prop
critics in the Aqua Fria district.
The Prescott Journal says that his
trip was very satisfactory. and that
the climate was really more agreeable
than that of his home in Los Angeles.
Acquainted with every county in Cali
fornia, Nevada and Arizona. Mr..
Young has during his forty years ex-
perience as mining man, gained much
information, and can speak advisedly
from the standpoint Of miner.
He says that the mining industry is
in it's infancy. His glowing tribute
TO Arizona. it's various resources, the
high average intelligence of the people,
and their enterprise would open the
eyes of the United States senators who
have so bitterly opposed statehood.
Comparatively few have any con-
ception of your climate here in pres
colt, or indeed any of your resources" +"
said Mr.. Young. "Rattlesnakes. cen
tipedes, and desperate cowboys are
what the average easterner thinks Of
at the mention of the name of Arizona.
If the masses Of the east knew of the
clean citizenship and culture of your
people, many thousands OF good people
and millions Of capital would soon
come here"
