Los Angeles herald., 1906-06-18

siliclous ore can he mined from tn
property alone to run the smelter fC
years. Silicious ores are in great d.
mand. The advent Of the several bi
smelters will have the effect OF oper
ing up every vein OF deposit of quart
ore. The big companies are already
keen competition for the better grade {
fuxing ores, and the next year will 81
renewed activity In the quartz minin
industry.
Los Angeles In Mexico
Los Angeles capitalists are arrangin
to erect new process plant at PARA
Mexico, to cost S150,000. This plant wi
utilize an entirely new process recen
ly perfected by Los Angeles engineer
who are interested in lead-zlnc propeI
ties at Santa Barbara, Chihuahua, an
other places in Mexico. The process
one of electrolysls and the purpose
erecting the plant at Parral Will be
utilize the cheap power of the ne
plant at that place.
The patented process promises to !
a very successful one, according to r,
ports. A series of experiments wei
carried out in Los Angeles, along lint
which have resulted in the perfectic
of this method, In order to find II POI
sible some means for recovering II
immense zinc and lead values contalne
in large quantities of rejected taifin1
on the dumps of the San Diego mine
the Santa Barbara camp. These tai
ings were the result of the operation
a magnetic process now in vogue fC
separating lead-zinc ore heavy wit
iron from the other ore values. Thes
tailings could have been treated {
Swansea, but they are too low in grat
to pay for shipment
Rich Copper Find
A rich copper proposition was RI
Gently discovered six and one-half mile
west of Soda lake in San Bernardin
county, by M. T. Amos j. G. Amos an
Charles Gray. The main ledge Is froi
a foot to eighteen feet wide, and assay
have been made of the ore which run q
high as $125.14 in copper and gold, {
which from IL to 20 per cent is cope
The formation is schist, rhyolite. poi
phyry and lime. The locators hay
staked out thirty-one claims in tw
groups, the Big -Four and Desert Queer
Two tunnels of 100 feet each have bee
rum which will give 900 and 1000 fee
respectively, of backs. As no wal
have yet been found, 1t cannot now /
determined whether the ore is a blow
out or a ledge.
The mine was worked thirty veal
ago for silver, but was abandoned.
Alaska Gold Output
The Alaska Club of Seattle, a recos
nized authority on the subject, est
mates that the gold output of Alask
for the year 1906 will exceed $24,000,00
and that of Dawson and Yukon terr
tory at So, 100000 more, making a gran
total of $32.140,0OO or an excess {
$8,200000 over the yield for 1905. TIL
annual output of Dawson and Yuko
does not vary much from year to yea
the increase being in Alaska proper.
The increase in the gold supply has
direct bearing on prices and interes
rates. G.. B. Roberts, director of tn
mint, estimates that for the next twent
years the gold production of the worl
will average $400,00O,000, making tots
of $8,000,0 900. Allowing for an absorptio
of 25 per cent for use in the arts an
sciences, there will remain $4,000. 000, OF
of new gold, accumulated within tn
next twenty years. which will mor
than double the worlds present stoc
and make a great total of nearly $12
00O,000,000
Preliminary records of the gold yiel
of Australasia for 1905 place 1T at $SS
UUU,UUU. OD To lJUO llit Bolu yltlu I
Australasia increased rapidly but
falling off last year as compared wit
1908 amounted to $3,500,000.
Nuggets of News
An immense body of copper runnilI
as high as As to go per cent has bee
found in the Bonanza shaft of II
America mine. which is located tv
miles south of Cananea, in the Can'
nea ore zone, and which is owned
L. Lindsey and associates of Los AL
geles. Cal. over 5000 feet of work he
been done on the property and abol
65 per cent of this is in ore.
John S. Garrison of Long Beacl
Cal, now in the east, has given IL
much Significance in Deep Creek prof.
critics. The Garrison and the MOI
ster groups of mining claims In tht
coming district have recently bee
merged, and the Garrison-Monst'
company has been organized to tai
over and operate this property.
The property consists of twenty-s
patented claims, and contains lead, 81
yer and copper ores, and in form'
days was a steady shipper of ores 4
the market There is a bright seaso
dawning for the company and entil
district, however, in the building of II
Western Pacific road. This needed az
dition to the Deep Creek country wi
cut of all but thirty-five miles fro
the former long haul of one hundrc
miles to the tracks.
Active work will begin without d.
lay upon the Garrison Monster prol
erty. The officials and directors #
the coming year are as follows: j.
Gardner, president; ]. S. Garrison, vic'
president; H. B. Windsor, secretary
S. w. Morrison, treasurer: o. S. Andel
