Nuggets of News
San Bernardlno Sun: Judge L. ".
Root of Needles was in town from Los
Angeles yesterday on his way back
to the desert town. He states that
the gold strikes reported near Needles
and north of Blake are genuine. Judge
Root also reported that Riverside par
ties owning claims north of Blake had
refused an offer by the terms of which
they could have bonded their property
for 100000. The judge further stated
that the Gold Roads people have re-
ceived an offer of S3,000,O00 for their
mines, the offer coming from syndi-
cate of French capitalists.
Kingman Miner: A company has
been Incorporated at Phoenix for the
purpose of mining the tufa rock near
Wickenburg. The tufa is of a soft
character and is capable of being
turned into all sorts of shapes in a
post of the tuff rock, which is found
to be freproof and one of the best nom
conductors of electricity to be found.
Experiments were recently made in
Los Angeles with this rock and it was
found to be one of the best things in
use for electric switchboards, ornamen-
tai designs for finishings, chair seats
and other purposes.
Manhattan Mail: The big sensation
that closed last week was the demon
stration that the highly mineralized
zone in Manhattan extends eastward
over the summit at least a distance of
three and a half miles from the center
of the city. Last Friday surface pan
nings were taken from the ledge on the
Buffalo group that almost discount all
other surface paintings in the district,
though they have been. The
paintings from this ground show coarse
gold in abundance and the chances are
very bright for one or more of Man
hattan's banner mines to be located east
of the summit.
Goldfeld News: Considerable excite
ment is prevailing at Searchlight on ac-
count of a rich strike which was made
on the corner of Gaviland and Main
streets by F. G. Goldman and j. n.
Hall, two prospectors. They were trac-
ing what appeared to be the surface
of ledge, and, after dis
lodging several shovelfuls of rock they
found a lead. At depth of four feet
a large quartz formation was uncovered
that gave excellent paintings and the
ledge is five feet in width and widens
as depth is obtained. A force of men
were put to work and at a depth of
eight feet three pieces taken from the
ledge were assayed and ran s4455, $64.20
and S112.60 respectively
Kingman Miner: Rogers & company
of Los Angeles are working on their
mining property in the Union Pass sec
ton and have a splendid showing The
company has fitted up a healthy and
camp west of the Todd
property and intend to do a great deal
of development work this spring. There
is no doubt of the value of the mines
