WAY TO WEALTH
IN THE PANAMINT
PLANS OF STRONG LOS AN
GELES COMPANY
New Field in lnyo County, Rich In
Minerals, the Property of the
Consolidated Mammoth Min
ing Company

I'm the Panamint, or the Way to
Wealth" is the attractive caption of a
neat folder issued by the Consolidated
Mammoth Mining company of Los An
geles, incorporated under the laws of
Arizona for $1,000,000.
The valuable mining property owned
by the company embraces 100 acres, and
is located in the new field in the Pana-
mint in Inyo county, California, eigh-
teen miles southeast Of Ballarat, for
which district there was great rush
of gold seekers last July.
Several weeks ago the newspapers
were filled with stories about a race be-
tween the agents of Charles M Schwab
and jack Campbell across Death
valley to the Panamint. The object of
the race was a gigantic ledge of gold
bearing quartz that experts had found
to contain the yellow metal in rich and
even quantities. Campbell won the
race and is reported to have paid $780,
600 for the claim.
Mammoth Got the Best
The Campbell property is five miles
southeast of the Consolidated Mammoth
Mining company's claims, and is a con-
tinuation of the same ledge. 1t is not
nearly so large, and no richer values
have yet been found than have been
found on this property. The Mann.
moth people were In the Panamint
several weeks before the rush" and
had plenty of time to select the biggest
and best paying property in the district
What they now claim is that they own
free and clear of all incumbrance the
largest ledge of gold bearing quartz
ever discovered in the world.
The Company Officers
Officers and directors of the Consoli-
dated Mammoth Mining company are:
Ferd X Rule, president: Hon. c. ].
Lord, first vice president; DR.. G. S.
Eddy second vice president; Frank A.
Mcdonald, secretary; c.. j. Morrison,
treasurer: R. L. Horton, attorney and
director; A. B. Mcdonald, director, all
well known men of high character in
Los Angeles.
Will Develop Water
The company has recently purchased
the Clearwater claim held by John
Coulter, which will develop fifteen
miners inches of water, the only drink
able water within many miles. Another
claim has also been secured, making a
total of five full claims, embracing 100
acres. The property is absolutely free
and clear and no salaries are paid All
money paid in is for development
which will commence September IL
under the direction of an expert engl-
neer.

Rover of the Woolly West" as he
threw down his heavy load of game,
exclaimed:
And wipe the .prespiration from my ach-
ing brow"
You'd better fill that aching void
beneath thy belt" quietly observed
Oswald.
Grider-"Plato, thou reasoneth well,
For whence this pleasing hope,
This fond desire,
This longing after

terrupted the Mighty Hunter of the
Stow clad Peaks
The viands prepared by Oswald were
devoured with the ravenous appetite of
a savage denizen of the forest. Then
upon the bosom of old mother earth
this child of fancy free" drawing the
drapery of his couch around him, lied
down to pleasant dreams"
Soon the sonorous nasal orchestra of
the sleeper, reyerberating through can
y,oIl5 and gorges adjacent to the camp
ground. admonished the conspiratore
that their hour had come. Grider gives
the cue.
Now is the winter of our discon-
tent" Bang! Bang! Bang! Spring
ing to his feet. Fast, 1.-The Gallant Scout
OF the Great American Desert" grasped
his trusty rifle, and peering into the
gloom of inky darkness defantly eX-
claimed: "Ho, therel Has the Apache
Kid invaded our camp? Let mine eyes
rest upon him that 1 may punish him
for his temerity."
Worse than that" solemnly re-
marked Oswald.
"Great scott! the deadly vampire OF
San Francisco peak, the avenging de-
mon of his hunters paradise, that you
have so wantonly invaded had marked
you for its victim. Hovering around
thy PROSTATE form, with undulating
wings and poisonous breath, tanning
thee to deathly slumber, and the horrid
fangs ready to strike for thy crimson
stream of life"
Say" interrupted the now wide
awake mining expert" what are you
giving us?"
For sweet charity's sake
Accept his offer,
soliloquized Grider.
Come. now, will you never let up
with this blasted nonsense?" said the
"mining king of the San Francisco
mountains" II am tired and sleepy
too" He then exclaimed: "oh, Jesse
Moore. come abide with me-"
Retire, then" said Oswald, land
may angels guard thy little bed.'
sleep brother, sleep" soothingly re-
marked Grider.
mo harm shall come to thee;
With minute guns, from now till break
OF day,
Wen scare the vampire and Apache Kid
away"
The waggish Oswald and Grider re-
ligiouEly kept their word There was
no more sleep that night. Fast has
been beard to say since his return that
he will pick a different crowd TO go
hunting with hereafter.

NAVY BLUE SERGE FOR
ALL SORTS OF OUTINGS
pREssY LINGERIE BLOUSE ALSO
NECESSARY
Holland or coIored Linen Worn In
stead of Washing Froeks, Which
Cannot Be Done Up at the Sea-
side
BY Beatrice powIer

Special Cable to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.--A grave fault
which most people make when at the
seashore is having too many trunks
with them. The accommodation in sea-
side lodgings is generally so restricted
during the month of August that one
might as well expect to stow three or
four dress boxes in the cabin of yacht
as in the tiny rooms of villa for which
a rapacious landlady makes an eKor-
bitant charge. Another mistake which
is frequently made is that of providing
nothing but washing gowns and light
summer attire. Those who have suf-
fered from the depredations of the sea-
side laundress. and have had their
cherished linen and muslin gowns re-
turned to them in a sodden and crum-
pied condition. know only too we'll the
futility of emitting dark -oclored wear
ing apparel.
Navy blue serge is almost indispens-
able, and the woman who spends much
time away from home is never without
costume of this description. A use
full supplement to the serge coat for
those who have restricted their holiday
wardrobe is represented by the dainty
little embroidered linen on lawn collar
and revers edged with killed frills
which can easily be made at home and
washed in ones own hand basin, and
which give TO the costume in question
less workmanlike and more summery
appearance. The addition of dressy
lingerie blouse or front, instead OF the
simple morning shirt, makes an effec-
tive ensemble for smarter occasions.
The same consideration of the in
adequacy OF the seaside laundress
should weigh with the visitor where
the question of washing frocks Is con-
cerned. and for this reason ii is better
to chose holland or colored linen In
preference to the all-white gown. Sail
cloth brown is capital color for the
purpose. as well as striped blue and
white or green and white, while II is
well TO remember that when the skirt
and coat become limp or crumpled they
can be considerably freshened and re-
stored by damping with gum arabic and
water and pressing with a hot iron.

Surveyors at Work

Surveyors have been busy for several
weeks in the northwest section, be-

property owners have been speculating
on big plans by railroad magnates who
are believed to be figuring on establish
ing a network OF electric railway lines
in that quarter.
Graders have been busy for some
time on the West Sixth street exten-
sion. and there seems to be no ques-
tion that the bonus raised by the prop
erty owners will carry that line ulti-
mately into Hollywood, and, as has
been frequently pointed out, such a
route offers decided advantage for an
extension to the beach and for branch
line into the San Fernando valley
through Cahuenga pass.
