Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-01

This is chance to get up in the world
which comparatively few men care to
embrace Men there are in plenty who
go up in the air on the slightest provo
cation. but those who can mount high
horse and stay there with any show of
permanent equilibrium are so excep-
tional that Mr. Grinnell had to send
to the far effete for company. Grinnell
and his limited force have put up false
work to a height of 1S0 feet. At this
altitude they discovered that they were
lonesome and that the timbers were
heavy and provokingly awkward.
Therefore they climbed down to q safer
plane and sent for help. When COM
pleted this stack will be one of the
largest and loftiest in the world. 1t
will be seventy-five feet in circumfer-
ence and $50 feet high. From it sui
phuric fumes are waited at such a
height as to preclude the possibility of
becoming a local nuisance. A suffi-
cient force Of men to continue the work
will arrive within ten days, when OPP
erations will be resumed. 50
Development in Corona
During the past week several mining
experts of COL Green's retinue the
famous mining king of Mexico, have
been in Corona making tests Of ore on
the San Jacinto properties which have
lain dormant for years. While their
investigation has been of the closest
scrutiny the men, having made over
twenty trips to their assaying office
in Los Angeles. and as many analyses
of ore taken from the mine, say the
ore has not been found wanting in
values but rather has exceeded their
most sanguine expectations. These
men journeyed all the way from Mex
leo to carry on their investigation and
at the persistent behests of DR.. Huff,
who has for some time believed in the
mineral values. The assays Of gold
show values from SO to $50 per ton;
silver $12 to $24, and copper $4 to SIS.
AT present shafts are sunk only to a
depth of five feet. The men who are
behind the movement say the mine will
be bonanza. Col. Green himself is
expected in the city in the near future.
The Santa Fe officials at headquar-
ters state that within sixty days trains
will be running into Searchlight. The
construction work is being rapidly
pushed. Mine operators requiring
heavy supplies are making active prep
arations for a busy. fall and winter
season. Lumber demands are far in
excess of the supply obtainable, and
with the prospect of better transporta-
tion facilities in the near future, and
ment work in all parts of the camp are
expected
The shaft of the-Cyrus Noble extern
sion is down 40. feet, with Indications
of the nearness of a large fracture.
Free gold specimens have been found
on the Wyoming. Searchlight dump
1t looks as though some sensational
results might be expected from the
present sinking and drifting.
For the most part the country for
radius of mile from Camp Thurman
has been staked out. Outside of sur
face prospecting little work has been
done, but mining men and prospectors
visiting the camps are very enthusiasts
tic over the outlook. This is a new
strike in an old country and while this
ground was gone over and prospected
years ago, this neighborhood was en-
tirely overlooked
The management of the Searchlight
M. and M. company is erecting five
cottages, new. Office building, zinc.
boiler and lime houses at the mine
Three of the twenty tanks of the cya-
nide plant have been installed and the
plant win be in active operation within
thirty days. The pump Is raising up
wards of $4,000 gallons daily. The
mills are running three shifts, crushing
thirty tons and the shaft has reached
the 4O0-foot level.
