a dozen mines within easy reach of
Good Springs. The surveyor and his
party remained and are now laying

laying out the ground that is to be the
site for the erection of a large smell

With the party were three expert
mining men, who have had experience
in mining in many camps i'm the United

verdict that they gave out last night
was that this is the richest mining re-

Near State Line

After a strenuous day of travel
Sandy, fourteen miles to the west of
Good Springs and on the opposite side
of the Spring mountain range, one
half mile east of the dividing line be-
tween California and Nevada, was
reached at o'clock in the evening.
Mines seemingly richer and richer in
ore the farther they were explored were
visited and some very pretty scenery
was passed on the trip over the noun
tain.
The start was made early and Good
Springs was soon left far in the rear.
The trail wound in a serpentlke man
ner high up into the mountain and the
first stop was made at the Columbia
mines, controlled by Jack Fisher of
Los Angeles.
After four or five tunnels had been
entered the party returned to camp,
where the wagons had been left, and
ate a dinner which had been cooked
by Fishers Jap cook. Several stops
We're made at other claims and the
start from the last mine was made at
$3.50 o'clock for Sandy, which could be
seen nine miles down the valley.

They Must Climb

The Hoosier was the hardest to
reach of any Of the mines that had
so far been visited. 1t is located over
a mile from the Hoosier camp, where
the miners live, and it requires a long
climb several hundred feet up the
mountain side.
The view seen from the trail APP
preaching the camp is certainly a pic
turesque one 1t is hemmed in on all
sides by mountains of almost equal
height, situated in a circle several
miles in circumference. The trail to
Sandy runs through a break which
looks as though it had been torn
through the side of a huge bowl formed
by the mountains by the dammed-up
water which finally wore away the side
until it was level with the base of the
Spring mountain range, when. the up
heaval OF the mountains took place.
A mirage meets the eyes of the trav-
elers at the same time that they see
the roofs of Sandy. To the west of
the town are some square rocks which
look as though they were additional
houses. The surface of the earth
around Sandy is level for several
miles and the huge Joshua" cacti,
when seen in the distance, appear very
similar to a growing crop.

Lizards and Wild Rurros

Lizards crawled behind the rocks as
the teams approached and jack raD-
bits and cottontails made hurried
tracks, for they dare not delay be-
cause Driver Dicks dog is especially
fond of rabbit meat. Now and then
a RATHER was seen summing himself
upon a rock.
On either side of the trail are bones
bleached by the sun and rain. They
may be the only remains of some ante
lope, an animal long since extinct in
the region, or to some burro, herds of
which run wild and untamable over
the mountain sides, eating the scanty
vegetation and approaching the camps
only at night for a drink of water, or
perchance they may be the remains
of some poor unfortunate prospector
of early days who has been lost and
died from thirst and starvation.
Fourteen species of growing cacti
were seen, from the giant Joshua" to
the beautiful little barrel cactus, which
dot the hills here and there with their
red bundle of sharp stickers.
Prospector's Friend
The Joshua has been the prospector' S
friend and has never failed to furnish
heat by which he might warm his be-
numbed limbs on a stormy night
They burn with great brtlliancy when

they give off much heat.

Good Water, Too

The winding thread of sand to the
left of the town, deposited by some
stream which was fed by rains in the
mountains, looks as though it were a
quiet little brook. Altogether it gives
the appearance of the peaceful vale
with its fertile soil.
Sandy is true to it's name, being sit
uated on sandy plain between the
mountains. One of the greatest ad-
Vantages that the regions around San
dy and Good Springs have is the
abundance of water. Pure, sweet
tasting, soft water. In the valleys
everywhere water is easily obtained
and in many places it can be gotten by
simply digging a few feet of the sand
away.
Along the rail are wonders and
freaks made by nature. Far away is
mountain frowning darkly one in
another direction, rosy in it's redness
and still another almost yellow. on
one side the mountain tops We're
bathed in sunshine, while on the other
side clouds shrouded the peaks.

enly IN favor Of the change. New York.
Brooklyn, and Philadelphia are talked
of as the most desira bic places IN which
10 hold the tournament.
The great expense OF living for the
younger players IS the argument used
by those who favor the change. But
few OF the players who began the com

after they have lost and are out.
With players from all sections of the
country assembled here % Is believed
that their staying TO the end would ac-

TO increase race track revenues.
