tions point now.
Charles j. Bowman, a mine owner in
the Green Mountain mining district on
Piute, has just sold to DR.. ]. NJ. John
son of Los Angeles the Bowman gold
mine, the price being $4,000. This mine
has been worked by Mr.. Bowman for the
past two years and much valuable rock
has been taken from it. The new owner
will continue with the work of develop
ment, and will increase the force.
Work has been resumed at the Banner
mine. near Grass Valley, sixteen men
being put to work. In a few days there
will be over twenty on the pay roll and
the recent strike made will be thoroughly
explored. The shoot has every appear
ance of permanency and the ledge is five
and one-half feet wide. The strike was
made in the south drift from the 800
foot level, and 1t is believed to be con-
tinuation of the shoot in the upper level
that yielded $1,5OO,OOO
The Calaveras Gold Dredging company
has laid off their boat for the next two
months. The reason for this is from ex-
perience gained from last winter, at
which time, owing to the rush of water
the boat was nearly capsized and de-
stroyed. The boat has been placed in a
well sheltered spot in a bend of the river
and this fact has decided the manage
ment to cease operations for the present
Extensive repairs will be made in the
interim and none of the men will be
laid off.

CRUCERO WILL SOON
HAVE BIG Smell TER
Pacific Reduction Company Has Ex-
po3ed Rich Veins Which VIII
Furnish from 5000 to
$500 Ton

The Pacific Reduction company will
soon start the erection of it's 400-ton GUS
tom smelter and auxiliary gas and coke
plant at Crucero. Cal. Within the. last
few days 1t has installed a Cotton mill to
handle its free milling ore at Shadow
mountain, twelve miles from Silver lake.
Regular shipments will begin next week
to the Needles smelter on the smelling
ore which the company has blocked out
at Shadow mountain. These shipments
will continue only for short time; then
the ore will be handled at Crucero.
The company reports that they have
four feet of milling ore that will plate
$2S per ton and nine feet of shipping ore
that will run $50 per ton. On the hanging
wall of one of the veins is four-inch
ore chute of sheelite and silverite run
ming S2740 to the ton and carrying high
percentage of tungsten. They also have
several veins that are furnishing shipping
ore from 5000 to $400 per ton.
This property, which has been long
distance from transportation prior to the
completion of the Tonopah & Tidewater
Is now connected with that rail-
way by easy wagon haul of only twelve
miles.
They state that the bond issue was gen.
erously subscribed here, the money on.
which will be available as soon as the
banking conditions become a little more
settled, and that the balance of the bonds
are to be sold through an underwriting by
a well known eastern house.
The company owns and controls twenty
two claims at Shadow mountain besides
other mines in other parts of San Ber-
nardino county.

Construction work on the branch line
from the Nevada California Power COM

wheels will be ready to turn. The mill
is all inclosed and the machinery in

Preliminary work in the mine was
started December 1, and Superintendent
Bedford tells us they are ready to begin
stopping from the upper levels as soon as
the mill is ready to handle the ore.
A new company called the United Will

organized to operate two claims near the
famous Ramsey ground in the Willow
creek section, upon which two leases are
showing up some wonderfully fine ore.
The new company is to be incorporated
in California and is being promoted by
Shaw e. Van Nostran. backed by local
and eastern parties Work on the ground
will be started very soon.
The sixteen Nilsson stamps of the John

TUNGSTEN CLAIMS PROVE
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT

The Atolia Mining company owns thirty
eight tungsten claims near Johannesburg.
This mining company is the only one in
San Bernardino county. and perhaps in
the state, which has a tungsten PROPOSE
tion. Already many thousands of dollars
have been expended in development work.
and several fortunes have been returned
to the stockholders. 1t is one of the few
strictly closed mining corporations, there
being absolutely no stock on the market.
The ore is sacked and shipped to Ger
many, where the tungsten is used in
hardening steel, and Is said to make steel
five times more durable. In the use OF
dies. where exactness of the work re-
quired is chief result sought. the metal
cannot be substituted Since the rich
tungsten ledge was struck in San Ber-

to make similar strikas, but so far none
have been made.

DIAMOND DRILL is PUT

The long expected diamond drill has
arrived, been installed and is now in
operation, says the Pioche (Nev.) Record,
determining the extent and richness of
the ore bodies in the Baltimore claim of
the Nevada-Des Moines corporation.
The working and result of the opera
tions of the drill will be watched with in
terest by the local mining public, for it Is
the first attempt made in the district
along this line. And again it win be
watched with interest by the public as
a whole, for should the expectations of
the management be realized 1t will mean
more for the future of Phoebe than any
thing that has happened since it's dis
covery.

1t is learned that the Greene-Cananea
Consolidated Copper company have de-
cided to erect new and mammoth smelt-
ing plant for the economical treating of
their ores at Del Rio the junction of the
Cananea- -Nogales road with the Naco-
Cananea branch.
The plant will be one of the most
modern and complete of it's kind in the
world, will require about two years to
build and will cost about three million
dollars
Everything about the smelters and
mines will be run with electricity from a
central point. and for the generation of
power crude oil will be used. for which a
concession has been obtained from the
Mexican government of importation from
the United States free from duty
A new city will naturally spring up at
Del Rio.
It is said work will commence on the
mammoth new enterprise early in jan

RHYOLITE, Dec. H.-While prospecting
200 feet southwest from the working shaft
at the West Extension new vein carry
ing high grade ore was broken into. There
is two-foot streak, according to the
management. which goes into the thou
sands in gold and silver.
The working force at the mine is to be
doubled at once and Judge v. t. Hoggatt
and L. p. McGarry, heavily interested in
the property, say they are going to lend
a hand themselves in polishing the head
of drill
According to a late report of Charles
]. Moore of Goldfeld, consulting engineer
for the company, there were 10000 tons of
s2S ore blocked out Since this time the
new uncovering and other development
has more than doubled the amount, maxi
ing practically S1,OOO,OOO worth of ore
blocked out.
The management says that the prop
erty never looked so we'll in its history
and that it is the intention to go after
the ore in the speediest manner possible.
The new screens at the Shoshone mill
plant resumed Everything, the manage
ment states, is going in fine shape, and
no further difficulty is anticipated. An
other shift will be added in short time
and the mill will be run at its full ca
pacity.
The new station pump on the 50O-foot
level of the triple compartment shaft is
also working satisfactorily and sinking
has been resumed. The force at the mine
has been increased
Henry Gould has just received some
samples of cinnabar from Add Rickard,
who is interested with him in prop
erty near Austin. The ore runs from 20
to 30 per cent quicksilver and Mr.. Gould
says that the ledge averages between six
and eight feet in width.
1t is the intention OF the lessers to put
in roasters and extract the metal on the
ground.

From A WOman'S Viewpoint.

There were nearly 300 present at
the convention of the Illinois Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Club at Bloom
ington, on the 10th inst. Mrs.
AdIai Stevenson, wife of former
Vice President Stevenson, spoke
on the human" side of the race
suicide argument, in which she
said.
There is no thoughtful woman
in America who has not been more
than startled by the appeal for
larger families. While this appeal
has been most urgent, l do not re-
call that there has been one word
in reference to the health or life OF
the mother. physically, morally,
mentally, spiritually or financially
to rear children been touched upon
The question should not be
how many children, hut their con .
dition and what kind of citizens
they will make. This plea for the
little ones, that some thought
should be given to prolonging the
life of the mother and thus protect
the babes, should occupy first place
in the work of the mother clubs.
The size of the family is of less i'm
p0rtance. F"
