MINE OFFICIAL
NOW IN CHARGE.
MANAGERS OF STANDARD
MINES NO. 2
Well Known Los Angeles and San
Diego Citizens Identified with
the Interests of the
Company

The new officers of Standard Mines
No have been installed and they have
taken hold of the affairs of the COM
pany in a way that indicates unlimited
success for this valuable property. The
new officers are: A. j. Plowman, presi-
dent; A. Fosgate, vice president; w. E.
Jones, secretary and treasurer These
with j. o. Hodgeman and r. ". Dodge
form the directorate.
Mr.. Plowman is the manager of the
National Investment company and en-
joys the confidence of a large clientage
of local investors in good securities.
Mr.. Fosgate is the well known Broad
way confectioner and is enthusiastic
over the prospects of his company. w.
r. Jones, secretary and treasurer, has
for long time been engaged in the
real estate brokerage business in Los
Angeles j. A. Hodgeman and R. V.
Dodge are residents of San Diego, the
former being vice president of the Or
ange Blossom Mining & Milling COM
pany. Mr. Dodge is a mining broker Of
prominence in San Diego.
Property in Fine Condition
STANDARD Mines No. are now in the
best of condition and development work
is steadily progressing. The last car of
ore shipped averaged $34.1 per ton, and
the company expects to strike even bet
ter ore at greater depth. The main
shaft will be sunk to a depth of 700 feet.
Very recently the miners struck a vein
bearing rich silver value, and this vein
has been followed until now it has
broadened to twelve inches wide. This
at the present price of silver will be
another rich asset in the holdings of
the company. The company is at pres
ent selling a block of $4,000 shares of
stock at 20 cents per share, and as this
mine is well and favorably known, it
Is expected that the limited block of
stock will not remain on the market
for any length of time.
The offices of the company are located
at 20S West Seventh street, and all
stock sales are being made by the COM
pany direct and not through brokers.

ACTIVE WORK ON MAYFLoWER
Superintendent White Will Acquire
More Claims and Start Greater
DEVELOPMENTS of Property

Captain John N. White, superintend-
ent of the ,Mayflower Consolidated
Mines, left for the mines last Friday
to lay out new work for the men and
incidentally to file upon number of
claims adjoining the Mayfiower group.
Mr.. White will return in a few days
sometime during the coming week-and
will bring with him a new lot of sam
pie ore taken from the different work.
ings of the Mayflower. 1t is an inter-
esting fact that the block of stock now
being sold by the Mayflower Consoli-
dated is being subscribed to great ex-
tent In the smaller cities and towns
nearby rather than in Los Angeles. This
is explained largely by reason that
"May1ower" stock is not listed on the
exchanges and that so small block Is
on sale. AS an investment, Mayflower
is all right as a gamble. well. that's
a different matter entirely. o. r.
Gates, president of the company,
is authority for the statement that the
Mayfower will be milling ore April /
and that present plans include the In
stallation of mill with a capacity of
fifty tons daily The average value of
the ore runs $27.70, and even though
only half the tonnage was milled May
flower will pay big. The progress of
the mine will be well worth watching.

Mohawk vein system penetrates this
valuable estate, and the ore is similar
in character. The vein is opened 900
feet in length at a depth of 435 feet
Operated by Loftus-Davis and Sweeney
lease.
The Daisy has seven leasers operat-
ing, several being in shipping grade
ore. Three electric power hoists in
operation, and about 5000 feet under
ground work, showing the vein con-
tinues about 225O feet. Milling plant
is proposed on account of shortage of
cars for shipping, covering several
months. The Daisy ore runs very high
in silver values, showing horn silver
and chlorides. The Belcher syndicate,
operating lease No. on the Daisy, is
in bonanza ore. The Daisy company
recently commenced working shaft, and
expect to cut into rich ore at $50 feet.
Much of the Daisy ore resembles the
old Comstock ores. Water has been
obtained at 20 feet and is the source
of supply for several pipe lines to other
mines, affording the company a very
satisfactory revenue. Frank E, Horton
is general manager.

GLIMPSES AT SEARCHLIGHT
Quartette Company Preparing to Get
T Twenty Additional Stamps in
Artion

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
SEARCHLIGHT, New, Dec. 29.-The
surface showing on the Searchlight
Consolidated Mining and Milling COM
pany ground is above the average in
the Searchlight district, and the vein
in the eighty-foot shaft now on the
Oregon claim, shows values in free
gold from the surface to the bottom.
Mr.. Carlsen, who was one of the
original locators of this property, has
done much for the Searchlight district,
and by his untiring efforts has called
the attention of some of the most
prominent business men of Philadel-
phia to the riches that lie buried under
the desert sand, only awaiting the
brains, money and executive ability of
just such men to bring them to the sur
face and increase the wealth of the
world
John C. Quinn, mining engineer
from New York city, spent the past
week looking over the X-ray property
adjoining the Pompeii to the north,
which was recently purchased by New
York mining men, who are associated
with Mr.. Quinn in his various mining
enterprises.
The Quartette company is placing
foundations for the erection of twenty
more stamps, which will double it's
present crushing capacity.
j. f. Wisner of New York has COM
pleted the purchase of the Philadelphia
group, located at Mob hill about four
teen miles north Of Searchlight on the
road to Ell Dorado canyon, and has
given a contract to A. j. Peak to
sink the main shaft 100 feet further.
Mr.. Peak has worked on this property
for some years, and states there are
five distinct ledges on the ground
owned by the company and one of
them is six feet wide and will average
$40 per ton.
The Treasure Gold company, in which
Mr.. Wisner is heavily interested, is
also working steadily.
E. p. Tull has made an important
strike on the Wash group of claims at
Camp Thurman. A ledge of quartz
three feet wide containing free gold
salena and copper sulphides has been
uncovered, the continuity of the vain
is established and good values have
been found all along the ledge which
traverses the property. Mr.. Tull has
also found gold in paying quantities on
the Red Bird claim.
The Colorado Mining and Milling
company has placed the foundations
for the new engines and electrical
equipment, which consists of a twenty
horsepower hoist and a sixty horse
power engine and large generator. The
electrical plant will be used for operat-
ing the pumSs.
