WIZARD INVESTS
IN CALIFORNIA
George Wingfield Putting Millions in
Golden State Property-Go Deeper
After Hidden Wealth of
the State

George WingfeId, who became a
millionaire in Goldfield, New, is invest
ing some of his wealth in California,
says the Stockton Independent. He
made d beginning III Nevada county
and 1t is expected that tho investment
is only a beginning, as he has an
agent in the field. Mr.. Wingfield. who
has long been identified with mining
in Nevada, knows the wealth of Cali
fornia as we'll as that of Nevada. He
knows also that it is not half uncov-
cred and is acting on that knowledge.
The mineral belt of California Is near
ly as long as the state and it's depth
has never been fathomed. Mines that
have been regarded as worked out
have, under more intelligent and en-
terprising management, been sunk
deeper and developed increasing wealth.
Such discoveries are so common in the
Mother Lode region that they are not
exploited in the newspapers, because
the developments are what was ex-
pected. 1t Is the unexpected that
makes news and the recent develop
ments in Nevada were unexpected.
What the mineral belt of California
needs to develop it's wonderful wealth
Is more enterprise, more, capital, more
courage, for the wealth Is there in
inestimable amounts, but men must do
as was done in the Utica and Lightner
mines and others which have yielded
millions; they must persevere, go deep
er, and If the same enterprise, perse-
verance and courage are exercised in
California that are brought to bear in
every new mining region incalculable
wealth can be developed in regions In
which it is a joy to live. One need
not go where he is in danger Of freez'
ing to death or starving to gain wealth
1t lies in California, in the most de-
lightfuI region in the world, awaiting
those who will seek it with the same
energy and vim that they exercise In
Alaska or Nevada.

DESERT BONANZA
Mine At DAGGETT
RICH DEPOSIT OF LEAD AND
SILVER FOUND
Los Angeles Investors Have Big For
tune In Sight-Tunnei 100 Feet
in Length to 4oo-Foot
Shaft

The Daggett Lead Mining company
has opened an immense body of rich
lead and silver ore six miles northwest
of Daggett in San Bernardino county.
California. The immense silver and
lead ore vein is reported traceable for
5000 feet on the surface-in places forty
feet wide-six to ten feet of the ore
vein showing 67 per cent lead, eight
ounces silver and some gold. silver
vein opened up on the property Is five
feet wide and shows 200 ounces of sill
yer and So per cent lead. 1t is said to
be the most remarkable discovery, with
the exception of the high grade silver
ore of the Calico camp, which has ever
been discovered in the Belleville mining
district.
Owned by Los Angeles People
The phenomenal discovery is due
largely to the perseverance and enter
prise of NJ. M. Dawson of M. M. Da-
vison & Son of Los Angeles.
A year ago last November Mr.. Da-
vison and associates, H. G Atwood,
Attorney Chas. c. Davis, G. w. Flan-
ders and William Blackburn. all of Los
Angeles, secured the property consist
ing Of four claims, which was tnen
merely good prospect for mine.
Eleven thousand dollars has been ex-
pended t. a crosscut tunnel and sha1ts
in development. Mr.. Dawson organized
the Daggett Lead Mining company ana
began driving tunnel which others
had abandoned to crosscut the ore vein-
There are now HOO feet of tunnel cross
cutting the ore vein to shaft 400 feet
deep, which has opened bonanza OF
lead and silver ore. Tons of rich ore
are now piled on the dump and ore
shipments have begun. All treasury
stock of the company has been taken
off of the market and there is no
development stock for sale. This dis
covery has every indication OF making
one of the big mines of the desert.

Los AnaeIes win Lead

Rhyolite Herald: The sixty or more
gentlemen who came to Rhyolite Sun
day are the real Los Angeles in nut
shell. They represent the best class of
citizens, and whatever they recommend
to their people will be received with
favor and enthusiasm.
It was a pleasure to meet such men
upon an occasion of this kind. 1t was
q pleasure for the mining men of the
community to show them the mines
and take them through the working
properties. And we believe that the visi-
tors thoroughly enjoyed themselves
from start to finish.
The Herald believes that the time has
come when Los Angeles citizens will
take leading hand in Southern Nevada
affairs foro it is difficult to understand
how, under the circumstances, they can
do otherwise

Indian Creek Country

E. M. Dearborn, J. e. Miller and J.
E. Ramey have discovered and located
in the Hamilton mining district, Indian
Creek county, an enormous ledge OF
antimonial silver that is pronounced by
experts to be one of the most valuable
properties in the county. From aver
age samples along the lead the ore
ASSAYS from $71 to $3.50 per ton, and
picked samples go as high as $500.
The lead can be traced for three
thousand feet, and the discoverers are
satisfied that~the property means a
fortune to them.-Bakersfield Califor-

MORE COPPER THAN
GOLD ON RESERVATION

EVERY indication is that the Walker
River reservation country will be a
greater producer of copper, silver and
lead than of gold" remarked B. M.
Hines, heavily interested in that sec
ton, and who arrived in Carson City,
his headquarters, says the Carson
News. There have been several gold
strikes, it is true, but the copper and
silver finds outweigh them. The prin-
cipal gold finds have been in the Dutch
man creek neighborhood and toward
that portion of the district, while the
copper has been farther north"

ninh Price for Copper

During the first quarter of the cur
rent year the record high prices for
copper have resulted in the payment
of $21, ,Os7,35 in dividends by twenty
five companies which are directly In
terested in mining or are large share
holders in the United States and Mex
leo. These twenty-five concerns nave
declared. since their incorporation, div
idends amounting to the vast total OF
$349, 739, 1873. Their issued capitalization,
varying from $1,000 900 to $16S,0S7 900,
amounts to $S5S,969 $50, indicating that
the dividends paid so far are equiva-
lent to 97.4 per cent.

Something for You
 to Think About

Ini1897 the Southwest Arkansas Tele- phone Go. started business in Prescott. At that time copper wire cost II 3-4 cents per pound. Now it is 25 cents. In spite of the increased cost of mater ials and operations the rates are no higher now than then.
 The local toll and farmer line ser vices reaches nearly every part of the county. The long distance service is splendid.
 If you do not now have telephone in your home or place of business you should have one installed at once.

Says Dehutantes Drink.

The Philadelphia Ledger says some startling things in refer. ence to the drinking of intoXi- cants by society girls.
 1t is high time that society developed sufficient courage to look itself in the face and boldly ask the question, Is it now the correct thing for our daughters to ape their elders in the use of alcoholic beverages?" That this indulgence among the young ele- ments is steadily increasing can not be denied.
 A few years ago the debu, tante who took champagne with her dinner was severely criticis- ed. That was a privilege, if it be so deemed, to which she must grow. Her older sisters might take it if they chose, but it was not considered good form for the young girl on the threshold of society to show a liking for any thing stronger than lemonade.
 That day is past and the GUS toms of that day are as dead as last year fashions. Today it car be positively stated that the majority of the debutantes accept whatever refreshment is offered, and 1t Is pretty sure to be of the
 hard variety And Dame Grun. dy IS permitting it. It is the" thing to do
 And what is the result? The young girl believes every one does it. She has Seen Helen or Mary or any of the older girls whom she admireS do it. Why can not she? The first step is taken and it is not long before the cocktail, that most insidious concoction, before luncheon or dinner, and the wine with the dinner are just as necessary to her as to any clubman.
 And the mothers. what do they say in their behalf? Most of them shake their heads sadly. adding; "Iti is just the style of this generation. | do not like my daughters to take any alcoholic beverage except, perhaps, at nome, but she tells me that all her friends do so; that I am old fashioned and fogy and don't un- derstand the spirit of the times. What am l to do? | don't want to spoil her good time."
