IN NEW FIELDS
RUSH TO LAST CHANGE AND
POINT NEAR BEATTY
Glowing Reports From carrigan Cop-

Spreading Excitement Near
RhyoIite-News Nuggets

1t is authoritatively stated that the
most phenomenal gold discovery ever
made in Nevada has been made fif-
teen miles northeast of Beatty. Coarse
gold paintings found at the depth of
a foot assay 1882. over 100000 has
been refused for control of the claim.
Strikes have been made at other near
by points. A stampede has started
Cor the place and a townslte has been
located. Hundreds of prospectorS are
already on the ground. There will
probably be several thousand people
at the scene of the strike in thirty
days.
Another Big Strike
The Nevada City Miner Transcript
states that one of the richest bodies
of ore that has yet been found in
Nevada county was recently encoun-
tered at the Last Chance mine, which
is situated in CASTOR district. eighteen
miles northeast of Nevada City. Two
months ago, in the north drift, which
follows the six-foot vein, a two-inch
seam of very rich free ore was struck.
This seam has been followed until it
has widened to two feet. Samples of
the quartz taken with the view of
having them represent the average
value have given milling tests varying
from $4,000 to $5496 per ton. Picked
samples show a value up to $4,000
per ton. Considerable of this ore has
been sacked and will be brought down
for treatment as soon as the roads
get in good shape The Last Chance
Is operated by the Nevada Gold Min
ing company, the principal stockhold
ers being O. G.. Temple, who is the
superintendent, and James Fleming,
a well-known lumberman of st. Paul,
MINI.
CoacheIa News
Considerable mining activity is
shown in the vicinity of Eagle noun
tains. Charles Auchultz, accompanied
by a mining expert from the east, has
gone out to examine the great iron
deposits there and will also visit the
copper, gold and silver property owned
by Pinkham and AuchultZ.
The parties who lately bonded the
Iron Chief mine have Just completed
a thorough sampling of its ores.
On Friday, o. Rohn filed thirteen
mining locations in the county record
er's office, all of the claims being in
the Eagle mountains.
Messrs Campbell, J. Crooks and e.
Fullady are dry-washing in these same
mountains.
The new mill lately procured by the
owners of the Brooklyn mine is being
hauled from Mecca by two ten-horse
frelght teams.
Big Bonanza Rumors
From Borega Springs are reported
bonanza rumors. E. Smith departed
recently for that region in search of
good claims. J. Crawford has gone
to the Granite mine.
One carload of pipe for the addition
to the Coachella water system has
arrived and two more are to follow.
The pipe will be laid under the man
agement of DR.. j. Hamilton Thurston
of Los Angeles, one of the recent pur-
chasers Of the townsite.
The Poor Mans Country
Two veteran miners. George Merritt
and George 3rookshire of Prescott,
Ariz., visited the Carrigan strike section
In the Bill Williams Fork mountains,
Mr. Merritt said: ut is certainly a
great country. The prospects there are
very favorable for the existence of large
bodies of copper and gold ore, but it
will take time and money to develop
them. | believe that a large number of
men will be at work there in a short
time and that several low grade propo-
Eitions of merit win be opened up.
The Harcuvar mountains appear to be
better poor mans country, for the
reason that the veins are smaller there,
as a general rule, and the ore of higher
take out an occasional bunch of ship
ping ore, but some of the lodges and
deposits of the Bill Williams noun
tains are certainly large ones showing
great bodies of ore of medium grade
that will take capital to place on a
paying basis
Work on the Carrigan mines was
favorably progressing, and the showing
IN the drifts and crOsscuts at the hun
dred foot level indicated the existence
of one of the largest ore deposits yet
discovered in that country.
Ore From Sonora
Andres Canaval a mining enigneer OF
Los Angeles, brought a ton of ore from
his mine, Teresa" in the Arizpe dis
trict of Sonora. to Douglas, Ariz. as a
trial sample. He sold it to the Copper
Queen Consolidated Mining company fOl
fifty dollars, leaving him a net profit OF
twenty-seVen dollars. He is highly
elated with the results. He claims C
have large quantities of equally good
ore in sight and is now going to make
weekly shipments to the smelter. He
telegraphed to his family to come and
reside in Douglas.
Balaklala Smelter
The new owners of the Balaklala
Consolidated Copper company of Shasta
county nave HIIdlISeu 10 DulQ a i0U-tOl
Fmelter on the property, says the Pick
and Drill.
With. this great property fully
equipped and the Keswik smelters again
in operation, the copper output for the
year will reach top notch Many other
properties have been opened up and
much interest is shown in copper all
over the state.
Prize at Paradise
Paradise is living in an exciting at
mosphere, says the Bisbee Review One
of the biggest strikes of rich ore ever
recorded in the history of the southwest
was made one-half mile north of Para
disc three days ago. The ore is telluride
of gold and chloride of silver, running
into the thousands. The lucky pros-
pector was Fred Bernoudy The VEN in
which the pay streak is located is about
three feet wide and at depth of forty
feet an assay made at the Calumet and
Arizona smelters at Douglas gave re-
turns of 421a ounces in gold, $3.50 ounces
silver and 30 per cent lead. A large
force of men has been put to work and
shipping will begin at once. The weir
so far shows permanency.
