TEXAS CLAIMS RICH ORE.
DEVELOPMENT is REPORTED IN
EVERY BRANCH OF THE WORK
BY INYo REGISTER, PUBLISHED

The Inyo Register, published al

they nave stock in the Killian mine:
The latest reports from the Killian
mine are to the effect that rich ore
was struck on the Texas claim. This
discovery was made so feet west OF
the so foot shaft on this claim. In the
opinion of miners well posted in this
formation, it was a fixed conclusion
that test pitting on the trend of the
vein would open up the rich ore
shoots, and the late discovery has
demonstrated this on the Texas. This
discovery is of tremendous value to
the Killian Co, and it shows that the
rich gold ores of the Casa Diablo ex-
tend TO the Killian ground.
When the numerous veins that exist
or the Killian. and the enrichment of
ali these veins, are considered, 1t
means millions of dollars to the stock
holders of this company. Although
the company is in its infancy giant
strides can be made during the next
six months. as power and water can
he obtained at reasonable rates from
the Casa Diablo people from their
central station at Fohrman. This
means early production and quick di-
vidends.
The present plan of the company is
as soon as power can be had from the
Casa Diablo, to install an air compress
sor to do their mining by the power
drill. This viii require fewer miners
and will advance the development oil
the mines much quicker. so that in a
short time the property would be
ready for the stamp mill and cyanide
plant.
As the property is large (ten
ciaimsD ard at least 90 to % veins, it
has been deemed more practical to
develop the rich ore shoots on the
Texas claim where the late strike was
made and gradually opened up the
numerous other veins.
When the property is once fully OPP
ened up 40 stamps should easily be
supplied with ore. This would put
the Killian among the large gold pro
ducers of the state.
This rich find is also of Importance
joining the Kiilian, this company has
three claims formerly owned by the
Buckley estate. and the Casa Diablo
made purchase of these three claims
last March.
A force of six miners is now en-
ployed in sinking, test-pitting and
crosscutting: more will be employed
as the work advances.

tiations are now under way for tele'

The Casa Diahlo company is creating
sufficient power to supply many oil
the mines lying in and around Fohr-
man and this viii be of the greatest
assistance for the early development
OF all the mines lying north and south
OF Fohrman.
The company is willing to sell the
power at reasonable rates, so that all
can take, advantage of this opportun
ity. The electric power will enable
all the mines to work power drills SC
that the development of the various
claims viii be much quicker than
when the slow hand drills are used
The outlook is most favorable
