WONDER STRIKE
IN BONANZA MINE
CALIFORNIA DISTRICT RIVAL
OF G0LDFIELD
Properties In the Crackerjack Section,
San Bernardno County, Develop
Marvellous Values - High
Grade Ore Sacked

At the rate that great strikes are be-
San Bernardino county, California will
soon be able to boast Of a rival to
Goldfield. Sensational finds have be-
come epidemic in this district. The lat
est of the many splendid strikes that
indicate the extraordinary richness of
the section has just been made on the
property of the Crackerjack Bonanza
Gold Mining company. The company
named has opened up with an eighty
foot tunnel, a two and a half-foot
ledge with ore ranging from $1,000 to
$12, 900 per ton in gold, veritable "bo-
nanza" values, the kind that have made
Goldfield world famous.
Not very long since, in the same tun-
mel, an S1e-foot ledge averaging $1S5
in gold was encountered. Other ledges
of less value, but still we'll within the
high-grade classification, have been cut
in the same tunnel and large produc-
ton has already been had from this
working.
Ore on the Dump
The company has now on the dump
300 tons of ore, all of the shipping kind,
ranging better than $100 per ton, and In
addition has 465 sacks of ore waiting
for shipment. 1t will be the first ship
per of the district and it's initial con-
signment will go forward in few
days The ore on the dump and sacked
is of very high grade. A pretty good
bit of evidence Of the value of the ore
is found in the fact that several sacks
were lately stolen and in order to pro-
tect the steadily increasing accumula-
ton frcm predatory wanderers the COM
pany will Immediately erect a stockade
around the dump.
The big lodges opened up by the tun-
mel will be thoroughly explored and a
double compartment shaft with 6x6
timbers is being put down on the big
ledge. The property carries the indi-
cations of record breaker. Mining
men of the widest experience in the
southwest are surprised at the quantity
and value of the ore extracted and
brought to sight with so little develop
ment. Not even the famed Mohawk OF
C+ollfield was able to present as much
in either actual production or ore IN
sight with a corresponding amount u
development. The general manager OF
the Bonanza estimates that solely with
the ore in sight the property could be
continuous shipper of gh-grade ofe
for DIT least two years.

JULY DIVIDENDS
IN GOLDF|ELD
Special to The Herald.

Special TO Inc Herald.
GOLDFIELD, New, June 23-It is
stated on good authority that nearly
$175000 in dividends will soon be dis
tributed by two Goldfield mining COM
panies. The Frances-Mohawk, the Mac
kenzie promotion, comes to the front
with a quarterly dividend of 10 per
cent on outstanding stock, making the
amount to be distributed $4,000. This
is the third quarterly dividend, making
the full amount distributed among
stockholders $409000. The dividend is
payable the first day of July. The COM
pany's lease on the Mohawk expired
some time ago, but 1t is working leases
on the Jumbo Extension and the Velvet,
and is also developing its own territory,
the Frances-Mohawk, which is UNDER
stood to be prepared to furnish a sem
sation before long. The Jumbo Exten-
sion and Velvet leases are both looking
extremely we'll, and it is very probable
that the company will have another
dividend paying lease.
The second company to pay dividends
is the Nevada Hills, the great Fairview
mine, owned partly in Goldfield and
partly in Salt Lake. The Nevada Hills
Is scarcely a year old, but with the divi-
dend of $4,000 just declared will have a
total distribution of 1925, 900. The checks
were sent out on the Goth. Recent dis
coveries have added tremendously to
the worth of the Nevada Hills estate,
and when a railroad is built into
Fairview, as is planned for the near
future, the company, it is said, can
easily earn a half million month by
marketing the ore already blocked out.
Confirmation has been made in Phila-
delphia of the report that at the ap-
preaching quarterly meeting Of the
directors of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany the dividend will be increased
from 35 per cent to so per cent quar-
ter. This will require a disbursement OF
$500, 900 every three months, instead OF
$350,000, which has been the quarterly
dividend payment.
The annual report of the company just
made public shows net earnings from
mining of $1,147.234, and an increase in
the surplus which brings 1t up to SO, 105,-
329 These figures will, 1t is expected, be
largely increased during the next fiscal
year, as for the last six months the mills
of the company have been operating ar
average of 100 stamps per day, crush
! ing between $50 and 400 tons of ore
every twenty-four hours, This ore is
said to average about $50 per ton. In
addition the company has shipped an
average of 400 tons a week to smelters
the values running close to s75 ton.
| Returns from the shipments made
from the Little Florence and the Mo-
hawk Florence, lately received, totaled
: $160000 gross on 450 tons, or about $780,

Newspaper Men Get Look at the
Values in the Great Column
bIa Mine-MiIl at
Work

Through the courtesy of the officials
of the Columbia mine at Goldfield re-
Gently a large party Of newspaper men
Were privileged to inspect the property.
The lnSI ection disclosed the fact that
in the n'ne there is more than $4,000, 900
worth Of ore blocked out in the working
which has already yielded more than
81 900, 900 in dividends. The mill is turn
ing out gold bricks at the rate of
150, ,OG0 per month, making the total an
nual output more than $1,500.000 per
year in clear profit. The mine was
bought three years ago for $4,000. The
entire capital stock was later purchased
by the Consolidated Mines company
for epproximately $4,O0O0OO. The ex-
plorers saw a body OF oxidized quartz
stripped for a distance of sixty feet,
and measuring thirty feet between the
walls, averaging 1926 per ton in value,
They saw a breast eighteen feet across
flied with ore carrying seventeen
ounces of gold to the ton. On the
fourth level they saw streaks of ore
three feet thick which Is worth $4,000
to the ton. Hundreds of sacks of this
ore are piled in the workings ready for
shipment. They saw the mill grinding
out ore at the rate Of sixty-five tons
per day, saving 80 per cent Of the gold
and working on rock averaging $50 to
the ton. on the first level alone there
is more than $2,500,000 worth of ore
blocked out. Within two years the
production of the mine will have been
nushed to the top notch, and with the
rompletion of the company's plans to
huIld a similar mill on each of its
nroperties the estimate of $4,000, 600
annual production ought to be realized.

Indian Creek Discovery

One of the richest silver ledges ever
located in Kern county has been discov-
cred lately by four mountain prospect
ors in the indian creek country, about
thirty miles from Bakersfield. The
assays made show that the ore runs
as high as 5000 ton in silver and that
it contains besides large percentage
OF antimony. There is said to be a
large vein of the ore on the surface.
The find was made by ]. e. Miller, Jim
Ramsey, Ike Darbin and A. e. Little,
four well-known prospectors. The out
crop of the ledge is at the head of
Indian creek on the back canyon di-
vide.

WILL REBUILT
QUARANTINE
STATION
Inspector Raymond Says it
Will Be One of the Fin
est on Gulf Coast.

The quarantine station of the Ma
rine Hospital Service on Santa Rosa
Island, a portion of which was de-
stroyed by the hurricane of Septem-
Der, is to be rebuilt, provided the bill
introduced in congress, carrying an
appropriation of over $4,000, is
passed, and there is hardly any doubt
but that such viii be done before
congress adiourns.
Inspector Raymond, who was in Pen
sacola yesterday on business connect
ed with his department, stated to a
Journal representative that the work
of temporarily repairing the station
will commence next week, as con-
tracts had been awarded for this
work, but that the buildings would
hardly be ready for occupancy by the
date of the commencement of the
closed quarantine station. There is an
immense amount of work to be done,
he states, and this will require con-
siderable time
The station on the island will be
one of the finest along the gulf coast,
according to Mr.. Raymond, when the
money is expended upon it that the
department anticipates. and excellent
quarters will be provided for all those
who are stationed there.
