MINING OUTLOOK
IN NEAR COUNTRY
SCENES OF OPERATl0NVlSlTED
BY CORRESPONDENT
Los Angeles, San Diego and Other
Operators in Possession of Fine
Properties in the Desert
Section

Mines of great promise are being de-
veloped near Gina, in San Bernardino
county, Cal. Recently Herald repre-
sentative visited the district. The cor
respondent writes:
1.-THE Standard mines which have
been operating since August, 1905, have
shipped about $4,000 worth of copper
ore. Where can one find a property
with such a record as this for the same
length of time? With probably $500, 900
worth of ore Il sight and with little
more depth l predict a wonderful mine.
ITO the south about a mile is
Standard No. 2, which is taking out
some high grade copper ore, and the
indications in the bottom of the shaft
are such that we expect to hear any
day that a large body of ore has been
opened up. To the south Of Standard
No. 2 the Quartet people of Search
light are operating, sinking three shafts
on the granite and lime contact with
good indications for making big mine.
Promising Properties
Southeast of standard No. 2 the
Johnny Gold Mining company of Salt
Lake are operating with good indica-
lions. To the north of the Standard
mines A. e. Moore has a property
which, from surface indications and
with a little development, will make a
shipper of silver and copper values.
Adjoining this property on the north
Joe Nelson has a property on which it
is stated the Quartet company have an
option and are doing some work.
ITO the northeast of the Standard
mines about two miles, in the old Bull
ion mining district, in what is known
as the Marrs e. Tabor property. The
surface of showing is one complete net
work of veins of copper ore of very
high grade. The formation is a granite
and lime contact with porphyry and
sparr dikes They have shipped from
their Crown group of claims some
seVenty-five tons of ore that run about
20 per cent copper, some gold and silver
values. They have sold two groups
Spokane, Wash, for a large sum, be-
sides retaining large interest. Mars
& Tabor have just returned from Los
Angeles, where they have been clos
ing up the deal and Incorporating two
companies. George b. Spaulding of the
Standard mines and Gordon Campbell
of Spokane brought about this sale.
ITO the north of Mars & Tabor's
property is the Ivanpah Mammoth

With q little more development they
surely will have mine, as indications
are good.

Fortunate Investment

An official of the Jerome Verde COM
pany in an interview said:
THE Jerome Verde is one of the very
few real copper prospects so advan-
tageously located in which stock can bt
purchased today, and we predict thai
never again will there be as favorable
an opportunity offered We would there.
fore advise all of our old customers tc
buy every dollar of Jerome Verde they
can possibly buy, and with the very IA
vorable indications of a great mine, it
is reasonably certain that they will de-
rive enormous profits thereby. The
stock of the United Verde could have
been bought on the streets of Jerome
at 25 cents a share eleven years ago,
and the last sale made but a short time
ago was at $3.50; 800 invested then
would have been worth 800, 900 today"

Great Changes

When the grand jury makes its final
report for the year uesday morning
there will be, it is understood a special
clause in the report askin. that some
arrangement be made, Immediately, to
relieve the conditions at the county
poor farm.
This subject has cen the chief topic
of discussion by the Jurors ever since
their first meeting and every effort
possible has Neen made in the hope Of
securing improvement, but up to the
present time all have been f-uitless.
When the board first met a special
committee investigated he poor farm
and the report was anything but en-
couraging. The conditions at the farm
were described i'm picturesque language,
and some change was demanded.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-17
Bonds No Help

At that time it was within a few
days of the county bond election, and
the supervisors placed their plans be-
fore the jurors, in which the entire
system of management at the farm was
to be changed as soon as the money
could be secured frow the sale of the
bond. But the supervisors reckoned
without their host, for within the next
five days the bonds were ted down
and the poor farm left without any
fund to protect it ard with the hope Of
improvement gone.
For second time the grand jurors
Investigated the farm and reported
slight Improvement but requested an
immediate change, If possible.
I'VE are trying to do the best we
cam" said Supervisor Patterson of the
boarC of supervisors when t-sked con-
corning the poor farm.
1--WE lost the bonds for new ward
building there, and that for the moment
set all our plans at naught, for 1t took
the money away from us and gave us
no fund with which to make an i'm
provement there. L have conferred
with AL Graham, chairman the poor
farm board, and he has promised to
take some action at once.

Some New Inventions.

1t may have escaped the attention
of the people, but it is, nevertheless, a
fact that the last summer has been
extraordinarily fruitful in inventions.
Out of a swarm of clever devices Judge
has selected the following for special
mention and hearty approval:
A farmer of New Egypt, n. j., ap-
plying the methods Of Wizard Bur
bank to the poultry yard, has evolved
a scratches hen which promises to
revolutionize fancy gardening. The
New Egypt hen is set up on the usual
hen plan, with this difference: One
leg is two inches shorter than the
other. By reason of this shortage,
one side of the hen goes at a slower
pace than the other, which has the
effect of producing a curvature in her
locomotion. In other words, this hen,
starting for the freshly seeded garden
in a direct line, as hens will, finds
herself mysteriously shunted aside.
When she thinks she has arrived at
the garden she is most nightly mis-,
taken, for she has merely gone the
circle and arrived back at her own
doorstep. Simple as this idea is, and
effectual in curbing the nOmadic pro.
pensities of the hen, this clever in.
y~ention has lain dormant in the hu,
man brain for all these countless mill,
ion years. A mere two-inch diversity
in the underpinning c~ircularizes the
motion of the hen for time and eter-
nifty.
A nan in Pugwash, Me, has hit up
on an idea so like that of the New
Egypt man that they might almost
pass for the same. The Pugwash man
has succeeded in breeding what he
calls the f~enceless pig. This is a pig
with one eye eliminated, and it is
found that the single optic affects the
pig just as the snort leg affects the
hen. Each tends in a circular course,
and consequently never wanders far
from home. This invention is said to
be worth millions to the western farm
ers and herders, doing away entirely
with the necessity for fences.-Judge.

NCS1SoNn1 ~ DESlDE.
There is practically no change in the
election situation from that forecasted
by The Republican on the morning as-
ter the election. The Republican now
has complete returns from thirty-eight
of the forty-seven precincts and in one
of the remaining ones, keystone No. 2,
no election was held owing to the non
arrival of the election supplies. The
tabulation in this office shows that Mr..
Bath still leads Mr.. Reals for sheriff
by seventeen votes, while Mr.. Frazer
is twenty votes ahead of Mr.. Berglund
for road supervisor. In addition to
these Mr.. Bath has figures from three
precincts not on The Republicans list
which gives him twenty-five more plur-
atty, or thirty nine all together. In the
remaining five precincts from which no
word has yet been received Mr.. Reals
last year received a majority of eight
cen votes and should he do no better
in them this year he will be twenty-one
votes behind his democratic opponent.
Aside from the precincts yet to be
heard from there are twenty-nine abb
sent voters ballots in the hands of the
county clerk to be counted, which
might alter the result, but which is not
likely to in either case.

efits which are TO accrue from the use
of industrial alcohol free of tax have
been over-estimated, and especially by
the farmers. He adds, however:
Benefits Come Slowly.
THAT material benefit will accrue
is not a subject of doubt. These bene.
fits will come, not suddenly, but slowly,
as agricultural products become more
abundant, technical methods of manu-,
facture are improved and the methods
of utilizing the industrial alcohol are
better understood. Our people should
not be disappointed should many years
elapse before the magnitude of the pro,
duct used for industrial purposes
reaches the figure already attained in
Germany and some other European
countries"
Seems Up to Farmers.

of production must be discovered and
cultivate before denatured alcohol
can come into general use. The mat
