SALTPETER.

San Bernardino and Inyo coun-
ties in southern California have
inter deposits that promice to
make the United States indepen-
dent in time of war. At the
present time this country,
like many other depend upon
Chill for material out of which
to make gunpowder. In
war time this material becomes
contraband.
California inter beds are found
in the northern part of San
Bernardino county and extends
into Inyo county.a They are
found along the ancient shore
lines and beaches of the sea that
occupied Death Valley in Eocene
times. Describing the resemb-
lance between the California and
the Chill inter beds, the bulletin
referred to says:
Both occur in the typical,
hot, rainless deserts; both occur
in beds where the inter is as
sociated with gypsum, common
salt, sulphate of the margins Of
dried-up sea bottoms or the
: residium of evaporated oceans
) the Chill beds occur on the side
of ravines and the hollows of thu
foothills and a long the edge o
: foothills, and those in Dealt
Valley are in ravines, in tn
! hollows of foothills and in TIL
: old terraces that mark tn
!, former shore of lake; the de
= posts of inter both countries ar
: interrupted by deposits of salt
borax, borate of lime, soda, etc.
the inter beds of Chill vary i

y in California the beds run fror

A Good Report.

Ina recent report made upon

ate districts sums up the situa-
ton a. follows: In the report

situated amount and value of
ore in each is given and the
statement is verified by such |
substantial men as Messrs VIM.
Lloyd, ]. R. Cook and E. F.
Prudential. 1t is a good and
efficient piece of work and will
open the eyes Of many people re-
garding the future of this sec
ton. The report says:
'sThus we have in the several
districts ready for extraction
with little equipage 100, 300 tons
ofore averaging in value more
than $25 per ton, exclusive of
the Nevada Utah Mines and
Shelters Corporation. With the
exception of the Prince and
davidson mines, which are lower
grade, but natural fiuxes--deduct
these ores which are now market
able under favorable railroad
transportation-we have SO, 300
tons awaiting favorable condi-
tons.
| In this estimate the probable
production has not been taken
into consideration, leaving that
to be contemplated by those
familiar with extensive mining
Operations. However, all of the
mines mentioned here as ready
producers possess ore of the
same character in the deepest
| workings.
In addition to these there are
@ number Of meritorious pros
poets, slightly developed in the
various districts which have the
earmarks of producers and some
marketable ore in sight; among
them are:
The Little Mendah, Hottentot,
Manhattan, Gypsy, Reliance
Kirk. Great Western, Wesr
Point, Tulloch, hex and Garrison

UPWARD MOVEMENT
IN MINING.

One encouraging evidence of
the rapid upward movement Of
mining in this section is the fact
that most every stage brings |
some new mining engineer into
camp. The several districts are
undergoing scrutinizing examina-
tons and there is sharp compel
ition in buying up good things.
A year ago some good
property could have been
bought here for = song sung by
the buyer, but that is q thing Of
the past now. Those who have
had ther eyes on Phoebe for 50
long laying for opportunities
Failed to see through the mist
LOT obstacles which has lowered
around here so densely for
several years and it has raised
Iunobserved by a great many.
A new dawn 10 on and it was
brought about by two causes.
One was home grit, energy and
practicaliexperience demonstrate
; ing to the world our mineral re.
J sources by lrecent outputs; the
!: other was far sightedness, wis
/. dom and courage backed up By
, capital in the person of Col JohE
Weir who has set the pace for .
successful destiny in one Of the
hest and biggest mining PROPOSE
. tons in the world. What he hal
done and what he is doing is at
tracing the attention of thu
l best class Of investors in thu
< market and the result will be
{ bountiful one for this section
e and the state at large. His de

I upon fortune may be piled al

begun to bear fruit. The rail
road problem has been decides
u upon and the announcement vii

roads largely in a personal sens

tor Kennedy has commenced on the
sewer work remaining unfinished
from his hast years contract and the
steam ditcher is at work on Second
street. Between Broadway and Thay-
er the ditcher struck a ledge of rock
and has been unable to dig deeper
than about four feet, and City En-
gineer Shelton is of the opinion this
will be, the hardest piece Of work in
the entire sewer work The same
ledge had been encountered on Third
and Sixth streets, but the machine
was able to get under the ledge and
break it off as it passed along, but in
! this instance the rock is too hard and
will probably have to be blasted out.
