According 20 Ernest L. G0dbe. who re-
turned from the property yesterday
morning, the Tanebo Exploration & De
velopment company has one of the big
gest gold propositions out of doors in
San Bernsrdino county. Cal thirty-five
miles south of Amboy. on the Santa Fe
road. This is the proposition that was
launched by William W. Ochs of this
city last November, and which was mem
toned at the time
The property was recently examined by
Engineer Sam T. Godbe and. following
the receipt of his report, f l. Godbe and
others went down from here to make a
personal examination and see for them
The samplins of Sam +. Godbe, known
one of the best engineers in this cOun-
try, included every opening on the vein
for a distance OF l1.O0 feet, and he re-
ports that the ores exposed. blocked out
and on the dumps averaged better than
so In gold. with some copper and silver
There has been no deep mining done
at the property as yet" said Mr.. Godbe
during the afternoon. Two or three
shallow tunnels have been driven for
varying distances in the vein and at one
point shaft is down ninety feet. The
workings are all I'm ore. but development
Is not sufficient TO determine whether
the ore bodies are going to prove con-
tinuOuS along the lode. or whether indi-
Vidual shoots viii be the prevailing char
Rcterfstics Of the property The ledge
shows average width of four OF five
feet and il is q fissure in pOrphyry. The
ore is of a class that makes il a simple
proposition to handle. Amalgamation and
concentration tests have demonstrated
that very close saving can be made and
there Is everything to make it plain that
great results can be obtained through the
operation of a mill at or near the mines
II is one of the best and cleanest cut gold
propositions / ever saw in my life and /
embraced the chance to get a whack at
it,
Il found another ledge on the property
on which no development work has been
done. 1t was not sampled by my brother.
to forty feet wide and while at the prop
erty I took a number of samples along
the outcrop which have gone TO the as
sayer for testing. | believe IL will show
up as a valuable part OF the property"
During his trip Mr.. GOdbe had a lot of
locations made on a veritabie mountain
of iron ore. located about ten miles north
of the TanehO The ore IS a rich looking
hematite and some of the samples
brought up show the presence of copper,
well. There is lots of iron in that
region. MIR. GOdbe says. and one OF these
days il is going to be exceedingly valua-
bile. Within the last few weeks the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Ion company has purchased
a property within two and One-half miles
Of the Tanebo eomDany's gold property
for which II paid S250010-
In mentioning the prospective perma-
nency OF tht Taneho Lodges Mr.. Godbe
stated that a nearby property had been
opened for 600 feet and that, as the mine
and the mill on il were operating stead
lily and turning out gold bricks. there was
nothing To fear on the score Of perma-
nency
