Velopment Work or are about TO De-
gin. The biggest purchases of the
week were made for the r. d. Robinson
company of that place by Mr.. Robinson,
whose name the company bears, and
George Dotter, young capitalist. This
company now owns the California claim
situated in the mineral belt, with good
lodges outcropping and every showing
to encourage the belief that there is n
mine there. George Kislingbury, the
well-known Los Angeles mining engi-
days last week, inspected the property
and reported favorably on 1t.
The company also purchased the Ster-
ling group and the Enterprise claim,
both Of them situated in the fashionable
southeastern section Of the camp. Work
is to be pushed on all three. Mr. Rob
inson opened a large brokerage office
here to work in CO. operation with fir-
teen other offices of the company in
the country. Harry Hadrich, a former
newspaper man, has been placed in
charge.
Sales by Minister
All three of these sales, with three
other big ones, aggregating about $780,
0OO were made within the past ten
days by H. w. Knickerbocker, the for
mer Angeleno and Methodist minister,
whose story is now known the world
over. Mr.. Knickerbocker's family is
now in Los Angeles.
The Juno -Goldfield Mining company,
composed principally of Los Angeles
capitalists. is now in 200 feet, and in ex-
oellent rock most of the way. A few
days since a low grade ledge was cut
through, and now a parallel ledge has
been encountered that is already three
feet wide and still not cut The ore is
blue gray quartz, very similar in ap-
pearance to that which made Cripple
Creek famous, and runs to very good
values, being a high grade milling prop
osition.
1t is rumored that the Juno people
are negotiating for the purchase of 4
mill located near Searchlight, New. IF
this is true it will mean much to the
lately been. attracting so much atten-
tien. The Dixie is already shipping ore,
and half a dozen companies are begin
ming operations, including the Lookout,
the Windsors, the California. Double
Eagle, Blizzard, Gold Ledge, Daven-
port.
Work for Many Mills
When the production of milling ore
really begins there will be work for
half dozen mills, and the fact that
the Juno people have some indications
of water near their property makes the
possibility of mill there seem prom
ising. The local representatives of tl.o
company, Messrs. Otto temple and
Fritz Werner both of Los Angeles, have
thus far refused to verify the story.
but they do not deny it.
Eddie Kinney a Los Angeles boy.
well known there, has just arrived
in camp after five months spent in the
Bullfrog and surrounding southern dis
tricts. Mr.. Kinney says that that end
of the state is to outrival Goldfeld
and Tonopah and he cites as proof the
fact that there are now three mines
there, at the end of eight months that
are dumping high grade milling ore
from lodges 30, 40 and so feet in width.
Il believe that those districts will
put Tonopah and Goldfeld in the shade
when they really are developed" said
Mr.. Kinney. "Bullfrog is just on the
verge of a big boom and capital is
pouring in from all over the country.
The advantage they have down there
is this-the big mining men of the
world have only just now come to
complete realization of the richness of
this state. They We're skeptical about
Goldfeld until they were so late that
II was impossible for them to purchase
anything.
Prices Rre Reasonable
''Now they have Bullfrog, practically
just opening up. 1t has the ear-marks
as had Goldfield and properties there
can be had at reasonable figure. Con-
sequently the wise heads among them
are going south and buying. 1 know
OF a score of deals that have been con-
SuInHldIeu lHeIe Wllnln the past ten
days and there are to be companies
organized on most Of them. The forma-
lions there are similar to those in this
camp, but the high values have as yet
been found only occasionally. In most
cases the ore there is a high grade
milling proposition.
water is to be had within easy dis
tance of all the best lodges in that
country and it will be an easy matter
10 put I'm mills and to make them profit
able. There are half a dozen COM
panies now negotiating for the pur-
chase of mills, and lots of those in
eastern California that have been aban-
doned will be sold now and moved over
the line. l believe that without a doubt
Che biggest milling propositions that
have ever been known in this country
viii be operated there in less than two
years.
