SCORES MASTER OF
WRECKED TUG WIZARD
Supervising Inspector Birmingham In-
vestieates Loss of Vessel
Near Point
Gorda
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24-Supervls-
ing Inspector Birmingham today rendered
a decision in the case of Patrick Collins,
master of the tug Wizard, which was
sunk near Point Gorda last May. The
local board found Collins guilty of negli-
gence in navigating the vessel and sus-
pended his license for nine months. 1t
was on an appeal from this sentence that
Inspector Birmingham rendered his de-
cision of yesterday.
Capt. Birmingham censured Collins
severely, "the plea of Collins" he said,
"for not getting cast of the hand lead
because Of the speed of the tug and tow
is the veriest subterfuge, as he could have
slowed down for that purpose and would
have at once found he had been in ten or
fifteen fathoms of water for some time
before his vessel struck bottom"
Capt Birmingham sarcastically referred
to the inefficieney oIpunishment in max
ing navigators cast the hand lead to as
certain their distance from the shore
when they are sailing close in.

Factory Largest

1.-THE oldest successful beet sugar fac
tory in the United States is located in
California and in this state (Oxnard) is
also the largest sugar factory in this
country, and one of the largest in the
world. California factories that suffered
from lack of rainfall have had to resort
to irrigation.
"The utilization of by-products is one
of the leading factors in the contest in
all parts of the world between cane and
beets as a source of sugar. In several of
the states, California included, where for
merly all the beet pulp was wasted or
disposed of at expense, there is now de-
mand for it at from 81 to S1.50 per ton.
Fifty to 20 per cent of the weight of beets
is turned out as beet pulp. AS a food for
live stock it is excellent when properly
dried and worked up.
',The beet juice is used extensively for
making alcohol and with the prospects of
the increased use of lime cake for fertiliz-
ers, and of lime cake and asphalt for
pavements, etc, the future looks bright
for the by-products of our beet sugar fac
tories.
There are now eight beet sugar facto-
ries in operation In this state, as follows;
At Alamitos, Chino, Oxnard, Santa Maria,
Spreckels. Alvarado, Hamilton and Visa
liza, with one factory in course of con-
struction at Corcoran. This particular en-
terprise is the one that is engaging the
immediate attention Of the gentlemen

whom we have the honor of entertaining
here tonight.
"The combined capacity of these eight
factories is figured at about 10000 tons OF
beets. or 1000 tons of granulated sugar, per
day. The average seasons run Is 100 days.
so these eight factories could slice 100000
tons of beets each year, or the product OF
100000 acres of land.
THE average cost of sugar factory In
this state is about S1,500, 900.

Iron our own Representative.
Manhattan. New, May 1.-The work of
driving the big tunnel on the Hindocraft
estate continues with daily regularity
and under the most favorable mineral
conditions. Within the last few feet
of drifting a number of stringers have
been encountered that both pan and as
say we'll. In Some instances free gold
is associated with the quartz and when
ever that condition prevails the grade
of ore is well above shipping mark.
Last Saturday John Powell. general
manager Of the well known Manhattan
Consolidated mine, took samples Of the
vein showing in the tunnel at the los.
ITO and 12o-foot points with the follow
ing results: Sample No. /. $3.50; sam
pie No, 2. s27.49; sample No. 3. 1851.
Mr.. Powell expresses himself of the
opinion that the Hindocraft will develop
into one of the great mines of the Man
haitian district.
The ore streaks bear a striking SINH
larity to the high grade quartz being
mined in the Otero workings. and judg-
ing from the trend of the Otero ledge
there is reason to believe that the
seams showing in the Hindocraft are
offshoots therefrom. II future develop
ment proves this deduction to be true
the Hindocraft will be numbered with
the bonanzas of the state. In any event
the dip of these streaks is such as to
assure their making into one immense
ore body at the water. or sulphide zone,
thus assuring a profitable and perma-
nent deposit Of shipping n milling
quartz.
The present length of the tunnel is
1870 feet and from the s5-foot point in 1t
Is streaked with stringers of ore which
are profitable milling product in their
entirety. The larger of these seams has
an average width Of IA inche n an
average gold grade Of $20.71 the ton.
1t is the purpose to continue the tunnel
for a length of 400 feet where 1t will
intersect the main contact that traverses
the acreage. 1t that point 1t will have
a depth from surface of more than 700
feet, where 1t is expected that %sulphide
ore in place will be encountered and gold
values he high and uniform.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-05-04

Each days development of the Otero
ledge enhances its value as ain asset to
the Otero company and strengthens the
already strong probability of it's making
into a rich and permanent ore deposit at
comparatively nominal depth. The i'm
mense size of the ore body is a surprise
to even the advocates of Man
hattan's present and future mining pros
perity. The Otero company is now
equipped with a treasury fund sufficient
to carry out the extensive program of
development outlined.
The shaft is still in ore and for the
last 20 feet the entire product is profit
able milling quartz. 1t has a thickness
of more han 20 feet and from the 40
foot point down assays from s12 to $40
in gold the ton The ore composition is
largely ~porphyritic quartz and asso-
ciated Herewith Is considerable gold
in the free. The latter, however, occurs
in punches and Is not generally distrib-
uted throughout the ledge. Thus far
neither wall of the vein has been en-
and 1t will therefor require
further sinking to determine it's dimen-
sions. Work in the shaft is to continue
until a depth of 100 feet is gained when
a crosscut is to be run out to the boz
nanza ledge which dipped out of the
shaft at a depth of 80 feet.

TIE GRANNY

Development of the estate of the Man.
haitian Granny Gold Mining company is
confined at this time to shaft sinking
with the object of prosecuting to the
ledge at a depth of 200 feet. Ed
Hirschler of San Francisco. president
of the company. returned home recently
after an exhaustive inspection of the
mine and the outlining of future explor-
alton plans. He expressed himself as
being well pleased with the showing or
the Granny and of the camp in general.
He believes that Manhattan will soon
become the most prominent camp IN
Nevada and is convinced that the OPEN
ing up of large bodies of shipping ore in
the sulphide zone is but a question of a
few months.
The vein showing on the Granny is
one of the very best In the district and
has few equals in the Litigation hill
section, acknowledged to be one of the
richest portions of the pay belt. At the
120-foot level of the main working shaft
the ledge is highly mineralized and is
streaked with remarkably rich quartz
stringers that occur in the planes of
cleavage and tr~ansversely with the fs-
surfing. These stringers not infrequent-
ly show gold in the free and invariably
yield a generous string of golden
colors to the pan. From them has been
mined ore in sufficient bulk to fill forty
sacks. its average grade being a trifie
in excess of 500 the ton.
From surface down the Granny shaft
is streaked with seams of well mineral
lied quartz and every pound of rock
piled on dump can be treated at profit
beneath the stamp. This condition is
one which appealed very strongly to
Mr.. Hirschler, so much so in fact that
he intends recommending the erection of
a stamp mill at the property. 1t is his
purpose to talk the matter over with the
other directors of the Granny company
and If 1t meets with their favorable con-
sideration to Immediately return to
Manhattan and prepare for the installa-
ton of the plant. That Mr.. Hirschler's
plan is feasible is fully demonstrated by
the gold grade of the ore bodies already
exposed in the mine to say nothing of
the vastly greater ore bodies to be de-
veloped at the 200 and S00-foot levels.
