RAPID PROGRESS MADE
ON SIGNAL PROPERTY

The Riverside Press states that A. H.
Cram, president of the California Gold and
Copper company, has just returned from
a trip to the company's mines in the Ex-
chequer of Signal mining district, in San
Bernardino county, and is most enthusi-
astic over the outlook.
"Our company has just completed the
task of bringing an ample supply of wa
ter to the mines at cost of $40, 900. The
pipe line is seven miles long, including
l40O foot tunnel. How valuable this water
is might be inferred from the fact that
we have been offered 100000 for it, but
prefer to keep it. We have to have it, in
fact to develop the property. There is
a fall of 975 feet in the pipe line, which
is a gravity proposition.
1--WE are all ready for a mill now, and
when once it is running there will be re-
heated the story of United Verde mines.
our ore is exactly like this rich Clark
mine. and we have the ore in quantities
that promise great things.
"There is now enough ore on the dump
to keep the mill running for months with
ont mining any more; but we shall keep
the rupply up to the demands of the mill
once it Is installed.

NEEDLES NOW WANTS
A LARGER SMELTER

The smelter of the Arizona Mexican
Mining and Smelling company at Needles
is one of the busiest places in that part
of the country. ... ,
1t now has, it is said, over SSOO'OOO Oh
ore laid on the floor and in bullion IN SNIP
ment, with ore arriving every day Lead
ore is received from the Banner ana
Champion mines at Stockton hill, Mohave
county, both of which properties belong
to the company Copper ore is coming IN
regular shipments from the Copper World
and controlled by the same company
Because of the shipments of custom ores
the company is not working its own prop
critics to full capacity, but is endeavor-
ing to take care of the local patronage,
and thus encourage the development OF
local properties. The company last week
refused 10000 tons of ore, shipments from
five different parties, because of the
crowded condition and inability to handle
it within a reasonable time.
The copper stack is ready to be blown In,
and will be as soon as the additional
blower and engine arrive. This fall will
see the capacity Of the smelter doubled,
but it will still be too small to meet the
demands of the country. The company
itself, from its own mines, can supply
more ore than the doubled capacity will
handle.

EAST WALKER COUNTRY
MAKING GOOD SHOWING

An ore bearing ledge from three to eight
feet wide, with a high grade streak nine
inches to two feet, which runs $500 to
$1,000 a ton, is the find reported by NAL
colin Monroe on his property In the East
Walker country, near Walker lake, says
the Nina (Nev.) Miner. He has discoV-
cred a true fissure vein and has traced
1t for 1000 feet by cuts and shafts. He
has sunk shaft fifty feet deep ana IS
now crosscutting. Good values have been
found all the way down. The high grade
is being saved for shipment. Later a
mill will be put up for the lower grade
ore Mr.. Monroe is confident he has To-
Gated a very big proposition.
In the neighborhood of this property
William league has located ten foot
ledge of SO milling ore.
C. II. Mcneil is near with ten inch
vein of rich ore. He has sampled it for
a distance of 800 feet, practically on the
surface. and has found excellent values
all along. Free gold is found plentifully
sprinkled through the quartz. Consider
able galena which bears gold, is also
found

NEW MINING DISTRICT
ATTRACTS CAPITAL

A new mining region may be developed
in Siskiyou county of northern California,
between Grass lake and Butte creek.
Gold. copper and other metals have been
discovered in the area, which has been
supposed to be devoid of mineral wealth.
Prospectors are reported to be meeting
with success. The country will be opened
up by the construction of the line
through the mountains of the California
Northeastern road.
The Nordheimer mine on the Salmo
river has been sold to Los Angeles men.
A new company. known as the Olym-
pus, has been organized to take in and
work the mine formerly held by the Gold
Mound Mining & Milling company at
Dead Mans fiat, Nevada City.
A company has been incorporated at
Los Angeles to develop the Rosemann
group of mines in Shasta county II. w.
Barry of Los Angeles is at the head of
the enterprise
A new process of heavy rollers will be
tried on an extensive deposit of low grade
ore in Siskiyou county. The rock is quar-
ried in the same manner as the gold
bearing rock at the great Treadwell min
ing plant in Alaska. There are millions
of tons of rock that it is supposed con-
tains 81 to SO a ton in gold value. This is
equal in value per ton to ores taken out
at Douglass island.

WOMAN MINE EXPERT
MUST SEE GOOD ORE

Mrs. L. e. Warner, a mining engineer
of Los Angeles, has been looking over
northern Yuma county for mining proper
ties, and incidentally acquainting herself
with the characteristics of that section.
She visited all through the country from
Bill Williams river to Harqua Hala and
saw many promising properties. She
speaks very highly of the Harqua Hala
and Hercules mines.
Nine out of ten ask some fabulous price
and ask 10 per cent down on options run
ming from sixty days to two years for the
merest prospects
Mrs. Warner contends that in all her
thirty years experience as a mining
woman she has yet to see mine that was
made in less than three years, conse-
quently she will not bond a property for
a less period than three years, nor will
she pay any money down if there is no ore
in sight. However, she agrees to COM
mence work at once and maintain at least
one shift day at legitimate work on the
property during the life of the bond.
Mrs. Warner stands alone in her class
as a mining engineer and does not promote
mining companies or sell stock. She ex-
amines mines and passes her opinion to
headquarters and it is said, her favorable
opinion usually results in deal.

Runs $7.2o to $4,000 a Ton.
Ana Dulce Is
Leased

The holdings of the Mohawk Herald
Leasing company at 20 Palms, in San
Bernardino county, California, are said
to comprise some of the most valuable
mineral property in the entire southwest
The claims are described as the Ana
conda, the Ana Dulce. the McDermott
and the ARA Warra, all gold properties,
the low grade ore running around $7.20
ton. the high grade $22O and specimen ore
going as high as $4,000 ton.
The old mining district of 20 Palms IS
located sixty miles from Banning and
thirty-five miles from Indio. Years ago
great fortunes were extracted from the
property, but it is left for the Mohawk
Herald company, of which Edward NC
Dermott Of Los Angeles is the ofnclai
head. to fully develop the valuable prop
ertv by the installation of modern ma
chinery and appliances. w. t. Mason
and James Marvin, both experienced
millmen, are now at the Anaconda, max
ing preparations TO produce speedy re-
suits. This activity was DECIDED upon
after a personal visit to the mines py
Mr.. McDermott. The shaft on the Ana
conda now is eighty-five feet deep, with
four slopes, each twenty-five reet III
length. opening up high values. AT pres
ont there are over 100 tons of good ore
on the dump, and shipments, 1t Is stated
will begin at an early date.
The Ana Dulce mine has been leased
for two years to c. r. Themes and w. o.
schweickerdt, who will pay the company
20 per cent of the gross output.

FAMOUS CROWN KING
AGAIN IN SEARCHLIGHT

The Crown King mine in the Bradshaw
mountains of Arizona, once famous for
its production of rich ores, Is again
claiming general attention because of
strike made recently in the old main
tunnel level which has been driven for
ward about 100 feet by the new manage
ment At 2SOO feet from the portal,
body Of sulphide ore carrying about $50
gold and per cent copper has been dis
covered. This is under an outcrop of pay
ore on the Crown King claim, and is be-
lieyed to be an important ore shoot. An
other vein of high grade ore, about twelve
inches wide, has been opened in cross
cut from the same level. Several discov-
cries of minor Importance have been
made in new workings. The shaft is to
be sunk to the ZOO foot level as soon as
the lower workings can be unwatered.
The milling plant Is being thoroughly
repaired and a period of renewed pros
perity Is expected.

OF GOLD IN
DEATH VALLEY BASIN
ONCE AN ARM OF THE GREAT
PACIFIC
Immense Values In Gold, Salt, Borax,
Nitre and Other MineraIs--Many
Difficulties Confront
Prospectors

1t is held by scientists who have
made a study of the situation that the
floor of Death valley, or the great SINK
which ranges below sea level, probably
contains some of the richest gold de-
posits to be found in the world. From
every indication this valley OF mys-
terry and death is the bed of an ancient
inland sea- which in earlier geologic
history was an arm of the Pacific, cut
off by some movement of the earth s
crust.
The mountains surrounding and in
closing this remarkable basin are the
Grapevines, the Funerals and the Pan
amints, which, although they have been
prospected in the most superficial man
ner on account OF the dangers and diff
fculties which the region presents, are
known to be exceedingly rich in gold.
1t is in this region that "Scotty," the
Death valley mystery, holds his treas
ure vaults, and 1t is to these noun
tains that he hies when he wishes to
replenish his exchequer. 1t is reason
able to suppose that through the dis
integration Of ages the gold and
other metallic substances were carried
by natural drainage from the surround
ing mountains into this body OF water
and there held in solution. When the
day of separation came, when this arm
was severed by some crust movement
from its parent the Pacific, many years
must have elapsed before evaporation
reduced the great inland sea to what
1t is today-vast areas of salt beds and
salt marshes. With the saline sub
stances the gold and other metals held
in the water must have been deposited.
Terrors of the Region
1t is known that ordinary ocean wa
ter contains a certain per cent of gold
held in solution. 1t is stated on good
authority that the waters of Salt Lake,
Utah, carry Sc to the ton in gold, ana
it is a Just inference that the waters
which once covered the basin of Death
valley. under the conditions stated,
carried many times this amount. The
residue is doubtless in the salt beds.
The difficulty ip the way of recover
ing gold from ocean water is to secure
an inexpensive method of extraction,
and the same obstacle doubtless awaits
the experimenter with reference to the
salt beds of Death valley. But these
beds are there with their billions OF
tons of salt and their millions of dol
lars of gold, and the natural terrors OF
the region, it's intense heat, its dearth
of water, will pale before the man with
the correct method.
Besides the gold and the salt there
are immense deposits of borax, nltre
and other minerals in this Death valley
basin. "Borax" Smith, who is now
building the Tonopah & Tidewater rail-
road through the Bullfrog district, re-
ceived his nickname from the Lila e.
borax mine, which he has operated for
years in the heart of the valley. 1t
was here that he cornered the borax
trade and laid the foundation of his
fortune.

the Mountain Quail winze. About eight
cen inches of copper glance and twenty
inches of carbonates are exposed IN tun-
nels.
