AvAWATz MINES
GROWING ACTIVE
Los Angeles and San Bernardino Capt.
taIIsts Take Option on $4,000
Property-SiIver, Gold
and Copper

In the Avawatz mountains Silver
Lode mining district, e. w. Smith OF
San Bernardino and L. Decker of Los
Angeles signed up an option to George
L, Hale of Tonopah and w. l. Glen
demon of Los Angeles for the sale OF
eleven claims for $4,000. They feel
confident of a sale before the first of
July.
They have tunnel 100 feet now COM
pleted on one ledge and it shows fifty
feet of good shipping copper ore. Mr..
Smith has other large holdings In the
district located only seven miles from
the T. & T. railroad.
Recently Mr.. Hale and partners sold
the Desert Queen, seven claims, for
SAC, 900, 10 per cent cash and all to be
paid within year.
The AVawatz mountains in San Ber-
nardino county-great buttes of gran
ite, lime and porphyry, pushed up to
height of 5000 to 5000 feet to the west of
Silver Lake valley-are very rich in
mineral, gold, silver and copper, copper
predominating.
Last September when Mr.. Smith and
party reached Silver Lake there were
two tents up and water tank. Now
there are over forty tents, several wood
and two iron buildings, a general sup
ply store, restaurant, saloon, repair
shops, rooming tents, etc. 1t is des-
tined in the near future to be one of
the largest. liveliest mining camps in
the state.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR MANHATTAN
Arrival of Improved Machinery 'or the
Ore Reduction and Refining Conn
pany-s1o,o 100000 in Ore
on the Dumps

MANHATTAN, New, May 26.-The
site for the big plant of the Manhat-
tan Ore Reduction and Refining COM
pany is on the southern slope of Mus
tang hill.
The first installment of machinery
will consist of two five-stamp bat
teries, a tube mill and cyanide plant.
The mill will have a capacity of sixty
tons of ore daily and. is to be sup
planted with other batteries as occa-
sion demands. Manager Wolf an
nounces that the plant will be in op-
Grafton by midsummer. Contracts
have been closed for the handling of
an ore tonnage approximating 100000
in value, and other and larger con-
tracts are pending. 1t is estimated
that the ore tonnage on the dump and
blocked out in the various mine work
ings of this camp has an aggregate
value close to $10,000,000, and as the
entire product is amenable to stamp
treatment the success of the Manhat-
tan Ore Reduction and Refining COM
pany's venture is assured. The ad-
vent Of the stamp mill is hailed with
satisfaction throughout the
camp, for it is believed that coincident
with the operation the Manhattan min
ing district will enter upon an era of
and constantly-increasing ore

SILVER STRIKE
At CRACKERJACk

News was received in
Crackerjack last week of
great silver-lead strike in the
mountains west of the camp.
While the matter is being kept
very quietly by the finders, the
Kennedy brothers, it is known
that the strike is about thirty
miles west of Crackerjack. The
Kennedy brothers last week
brought in several samples of
galena that will run up into
the hundreds of dollars in sill
yer. 1t is said a six-foot ledge
has been exposed.
The Kennedys returned to
the scene of their new strike
Wednesday, after securing
supplies sufficient for thirty
days.
1t is expected that within the
next two weeks news will be
received of one of the biggest
silver strikes in the country.
In consequence of the stir
ring stories scores of prospec-
tors left Crackerjack and
neighboring points last week,
all in search of the new Edo
RADIO. Summer heat and dis
tance have no terrors for the
husky miners, who are ever on
the alert to be "in at the kill
ing" when it comes to finding
a new gold, copper or silver
camp.
Crackerjack seems to be on
the map.

Ore to smeIters

The Montgomery -Shoshone. the big
mine of the Bullfrog district, has been
active in forwarding regular shipments
to the smelters. The ore is shoveled
loose into the car from one of the big
dumps, and requires a good force of
men to fill the big iron truck car with
in shift. Considerable of the belated
machinery for the mill is daily arriv-
ing, and some of it is being installed.
The cyanide tanks are benig placed in
position, and will later be covered with
a frame structure. Other buildings are
going up at the Shoshone camp, and It
is only a question of time until a town
site will have to be surveyed in that
vicinity

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PIOCHE, New, May 26.--Work of
construction on the Phoebe & Ca1iente
branch of the Salt Lake road is being
pushed as rapidly as possible.
During the past week Chief Engineer
Tilton made a trip of inspection over
the main line and also over the right
of way of the proposed line from Cali
ente to Phoebe, and he intimated that
the line would be built into Phoebe at
as early a date as possible.
Track laying has extended several
miles oat from Caliente, and it is con-
fidently expected that the road will
reach Panaca, over half way between
Caliente and Phoebe, by the latter part
of the first week in June. From Panaca
to Phoebe there are several long tres
ties to be constructed, and these will
tend to delay the advent of the road
into Phoebe several weeks longer than
had been anticipated.
When the road reaches Panaca 1t
will be in a position to accommodate
a number of mines lying to the south
and west Of Pioche,r including the Lyn-
don, which is now getting ore onto the
dump, ready for shipment to Salt Lake
the day that the road begins operations
between Panaca and Caliente
Other mines in and around Phoebe
are being worked in an energetic man
ner, and it is expected that by the
time the road reaches this place many
hundreds of thousands of tons of ore
will be alongside the railroad, ready
for loading on the cars.
Group of Mines
At the Lyndon mines General Man.
ager Prudential and Director Green
wood are experimenting the construc-
tion of ore dumps, into which will be
poured the thousands of tons of ore
which have been blocked out during
the past few months. This ore will be
hauled oy wagon down grade to a
point on the branch road to be known
as the Lyndon siding. about three
miles east of Panaca. The general be-
lief in Phoebe is that the Lyndon will
prove one of the greatest producers in
eastern Nevada and possibly rival the
record Of the mines which were ia
nous a third of century ago and one
of which in four years declared divi-
dends amounting to 23,O00,000.
| The mine with this record is the
Raymond & Ely, which has just been
retimbered at cost of $4,000. New
machinery has been installed, and after
lapse of number of years the mine
will be operated as extensively as 1t
| was when it was at the height of its
| glory in the early seventies.
Active work is being done on the
Ohio & Kentucky, the Mendha, the
| Bristol, the Ida May, which Senator
Clark recently bought, and many other
properties, while extensive development
work is being done on numerous other

NEW Grub STAKE LAW
TAKES EFFECT JUNE

Two bills were introduced in the last
Nevada legislature which relate to grub
stake agreements, and provide that ali
Of these agreements should be recorded
in the office of the county in which the
prospecting was to be done; the bill
should be named in the grub stake con-
tract. 1t also provided that the dura-
ton of the contract the consideration
and some other details, should be speci-
finally mentioned.
This measure was at once recognized
by the legislators as one we'll calculated
to prevent the many misunderstand-
ings and controversies that have arisen
from grub stake agreements in Nevada,
and it was passed by both houses with
few dissenting votes. The bill has been
signed by the governor and will take
effect as state law on June 1.

GREAT EARNINGS
IN COPPER FIELD
Boston and Montana Company Paid
Dividends Of Nearly 100000.
Profits Of Other Copper
Companies

Large dividends recently have been
declared by the copper companies Of
Montana. The quarterly dividend Of
the Boston and Montana company,
which was declared few weeks ago,
was at the rate Of So a share and $40
extra, the whole amounting to $780,

900. The North Butte Mining company
Of Montana made net profits on its
copper production of 1906 amounting
to $3,637. 200, as against $2,720,000 for
the preceding year. The production Of
1906 exceeded that of 1905 by about g.
100000 pounds. The copper was sold at
the rate of 4 cents more a pound than
the price Of 1905 on the average. A
surplus of S2,151,000 was carried over at
the rate of about SIS a share, which was
additional to the net earnings at the

GREAT ORE ZONE
IS EAST AVAWATZ
Strong Rival for the Crackerjack Dis
trict-High Assays Reported from
Shallow Workings on
the Range

Many promising gold properties are
being opened up in the East Avawatz
range, two miles east of Crackerjack,
several new camps having been estab-
lished lately. While this range has
as vet been barely scratched in the un-
ceasing search for the yellow metal, the
results obtained seem to warrant the
belief that the East Avawatz will soon
rival the balance Of the Crackerjack
district.
The strikes in the new section are
remarkable as showing the great ex-
tent ofthe ore zone Immediately tribu-
tary to Crackerjack. The next few
weeks will see much work done in the
great East Avawatz range, on the
northern slopes of which is situated
the cave Springs mines. Many well
known Crackerjack operators have out
fits at work on both sides of the rugged
mountain, ana some high assays have
been obtained from shallow workings.

CONDENSED MILK IN
DEMAND EVERYWHERE
Special to The Herald.

Sp0Clal TO InS f1erdlu.
WICHITA, Kan, May 26.-what
amounts to revolt against the COW
is developing in Wichita as a part of
general sentiment over the country.
All the dealers in condensed milk ac-
knowledge that the public demand for
the treated lacteal fluid is beyond all
efforts to supply it.
The wholesalers and retailers regard
1t as one of the curious developments
of the pure food sentiment which is
agitating the country.
j. H. Black of the Wichita Whole-S
sale Grocery company says that the
manufacturers OF the condensed ar
ticle cannot supply the orders, that no
orders are completely filled. and that
the makers explain that they are doing
their best.
Frank Wood of Jett & Wood reports
the same condition. He says that the
demand is constantly increasing and
1t today amounts to a craze. 1t is by
no means local in it's manifestations,
but is general.
The abnormal demand set in after
the pure food agitation began in the
country. All manufacturers and whole
salers and retailers as well believe that
the public mind has been turned in
that direction, until there is more con-
Germ over articles of diet than is really
warranted.
Naturally changes in public senti-
ment in the matter of spices, which
have always been heavily adulterated,
were looked for; that tomato catsup
and canned goods OF various kinds
came in for a heavy onslaught from
the pure food forces surprised no one,
or that labels were scanned with
scrutiny. But the demand for milk
which has been sterilized and put up
a.. sx1 a. fl.<, 1t4ff
fresh from the COW was an offshoot
no one was expecting.
People are now using the canned
milk regularly for table use, and those
who do contend that it is better than
| the untreated product.

MINES OF VALUE
FOR INSPECTION
Full Investigation of All Properties
Will Be Made on Application and
Certificates Issued-Ban-
quet June IA

The first general business meeting
and informal dinner of members of the
Los Angeles chamber of mines will be
held June II at Levys. There are now
800 members of the chamber.
A meeting of the board of directors
was held yesterday afternoon md the
committee on investigation and reports
of mining properties made its report. 1t
was decided to divide the inspections Of
mines into two general classes, one to
consist of mining properties which are
to be registered with the chamber, and
covering which the chambers certit-
cate will be issued, and the other class
to consist of mining prospects upon
which 1t is desired to- have only the
chambers official report of findings.
The registration fee charged by the
chamber for inspections in the first
class mentioned above will be $50. In
vestigations of prospects coming under
class two will be subject to charge of
$25, with the provision that a more de-
tailed examination will be made and is
sued at subsequent time upon the
payment of the difference in the two
classes. viz, $25. The mining company
will, of course, also be charged with
the actual expense of the investigation.
Quite a number of companies have al
ready expressed a ueSlre 10 register Win
the chamber and it looks very much as
though that organization will have con-
siderable of this class of work to do
within the next few months, inasmuch
as it's certificates cannot fail to be Of
great value to the mining companies.
The above named committee was au-
thorized to select for the chamber a
suitable emblem, to be duly copyrighted
and to be used upon the letterheads,
billheads. stock certificates and other
printed matter of such mining compan-
les as may receive the certificate of the
chamber of mines.

FINE PROSPECTS
FOR SILVER PICK
Promoters Confident of Making an
Early Strke-CIose Neighbor to
the Famous, Mohawk
Property

Interesting developments in the Sill
yer Pick property, Goldfield, are looked
for at an early date. The Goldfield
Silver Pick leasing syndicate is push
ing work with day and night shifts,
deepening the shafts and running cross
cuts. Highly gratifying results are be-
ing achieved. Several high-grade ore
bodies have already been encountered,
and the cross-cuts are expected to soon
tap the lodges that feature the ia
nous Mohawk on the east and the
Goldfield Mining company's property
on the west. The fact that it joins
the Mohawk. taken with the showings
already obtained in the development
work. warrants the exploiters of the
Silver Pick in believing that with suf-
ficient work it will prove a worthy
neighbor for the mine that produced
nearly $7,0O0000 in less than a year.

BULLFROG TIPS
FROM RHYOL|TE
DISPOSITION TO DIG FOR GOLD
ALL SUMMER
No Vacation for the Mine Owners and
Workers-PowerfuI Hoist Re-
ceived for the Hayseed
Property
Special to The Herald.

Special 10 Inc f1eTdiu.
RHYOLITE. New, May 26.-It is
probable that general activity in the
Bullfrog district will continue all sum-
mer. Developments will be persistent,
so long as men can be secured to work
in the mines. The fall season, with the
railroads completed, will witness heavy
shipments of ore.
The thirty-five horsepower hoist has
arrived for the sHayseed mine. 1t is
being installed at the property. Ore
cars and other appliances are also be-
ing freighted to the property. This is
the first hoist to be installed in the
Lee district. Others will follow close
ly and the real music to the miners
ear-the throbbing of the engines-will
soon sound throughout the gold
blessed Lee in earnest.
John L. Morgan died in the Furnace
creek country several days ago of
hunger and had enough wealth to have
served banquet fit for king. The
story is brought here by Walter Ad-
ans, Morgan's partner. For more than
a year or two had been knocking
about on the borders of Death valley.
Last summer they were lost and suf-
fered agonies from thirst and hunger
before being rescued. During that
period Morgan ate the burning sand.
The control Of the Wild Rose Min
ing company's property, located in the
Wild Rose district, Inyo county, Cali
fornia, has just been purchased by a
strong syndicate of Boston, Mass, and
Providence, r. l., operators on basis
of 100000 for the property. The hold
ings of this company are among the
oldest and richest locations in this now
famous district. and are in close prox-
unity to the great Skidoo mine, whose
wonderful bodies of rich ore challenge
the attention and admiration of the
entire mining fraternity of the world.
A rush is expected to begin at once
to a new oil region which has been
discovered about fifty miles south of
Ely, and near the Nevada-Utah line,
by Sol Snider and Silas Branch, two
we'll known prospectors. They have
made known their discovery to a num-
ber of men, who have Immediately
taken an active interest in the explora-
ton and development of the region.
Snider and Branch have brought
large samples of oil shale and fossil
rock which they say abounds in the
district. These samples have been as
sayed by Ely assayers and metal
lurgists, who state that the samples
shown carry from Is to 25 per cent
bituminous matter In some of the
samples the oil is so plentiful that it
drips from the rock when exposed to
the heat of the sun. When this rock
is held to the flame of an alcohol lamp
it bursts into flame.

CAUSE DELAY
IN GOLD CAMPS

George Wing6eld is quoted
as giving out this statement
to all holders of Goldfeld
stocks:
THAT Nixon and Wingheld
are striving to make mines,
not markets, and do not pro-
pose to play the hands of pro-
moters and the brokers'; that
the Goldheld Consolidated
Mines company will not pay a
dividend this year; that time
must elapse before the proper
ties owned by the $4o,oo0,000
merger can be economically
operated, and that they must
be provided with practically an
entire new equipment of hoist
ing and drilling machinery;
that in order to make the most
lasting profit from the opera
ton of these properties, the
company must erect a mill
with a capacity of from 600 to
1000 tons a day. An order for
this mill, which will cost about
$650,000, is about to be placed,
and it is expected to have it in
operation by January 1; that
even if the entire new machin-
cry plant and the mill were
now in place, mining and mill
ing to the fullest extent would
be impossible because of the
inadequacy of the electrical
power at Goldheld, a condition
which may not be renedied
before the end of this year."
