FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
IN GOLD MONTHLY YIELD
Rio Plata Company's Rich Santa Bar
bara Mine to Be Regular
Producer from
Now On

CHIHUAHUA, April 5.-The Rio
Plata Mining company's rich Santa
Barbara silver mine near Guazapares,
this state, produced a little over $42 coo
in gold values from it's high-grade
shipping ore and concentrates during
the month of February and d. w.
Shanks, the general manager, who just
came in from the property on Mon
day with the new president, H. w.
Miller, and two of the stockholders, A.
B. Cordner and J. ]. Bonneau, all of
New York, stated that he fully eX-
pected to be able to keep up this rate
of production from now on and even
more. He stated that If the rate made
up to March 16 was kept up this month
will show a total production of over
80, 900 ounces silver.
The concentrating tables are saving
SO per cent of the values and this is
being raised. The two sinners ordered
will increase to 65 and possibly 70 per
cent President Miller of the company
stated that the matter of putting in a
cyanide plant to treat the tailings will
be taken up before the board of di-
rectors as soon as he arrives in New
York.
President Miller and 4dessrs. Cord
ner and Bonneau all expressed them
selcves as being highly pleased with
the mine. Mr. Miller said: Every
thing was better than it had been
represented and the operation of the
property is now going on in good shape.
We have in the neighborhood of $3,
100000 Mexican currency in values in

ore, l predict, will be of low grade.
There is nothing wonderful on the sur

what the real mining men want Is
ore of good average.

Practically the same views came
from o. A. Harlan, a Stanford gradu'

from Goldfield, representing mining
men of that section.
Another similar estimate of Dulzura
made is that of Leslie Gatliff, mining
man who has had wide experience ana

NEW MANAGEMENT
tensive Work Begun in Develop
ing the Famous
Mine

GOLDFIELD, April 5.-The fact that
after the affairs of the Bonnie Glare
mine. situated on Gold mountain, forty
miles south of Goldfield, gave that Sec
ton BLACK eye. as it was generally
believed that the company was the
owner of one of the best low grade
milling propositions in the country.
The receiver will be discharged in a
day or two as all the indebtedness has
been cleared up and work on an eX-
tensive scale will soon be started under
entirely new officers and managers.
The controlling interest in the stock
of the company is now held by Henry
Timken Of Cleveland, Ohio, who is re-
ported to be worth 100000 900 or more.
He will be he president of the new COM
pany, as well as the manager. He is
manufacturer and made his millions
out of the Timken ball bearings that are
used universally in automobiles.
There will be no attempt to get out
ore at present The work of develop
ing the properties will be carried on
vigorously, however, and it is said that
he has $3.50, 900 in the treasury to carry
along the work.
The deepest workings are on the
Rattesnake, 500 feet below the surface,
and it is the intention to sink an addi-
tional 700 feet. On the Courbet group
a shaft is down $50 feet, and it will be
put down to the 1000-foot level before
any drifting or crosscutting is done on
the lead.
The Bonnie Glare is not the only prop
erty on Cold mountain that is attract
ing attention. There is an immense
showing on the Nevada Southern on
the other side of the mountain, which
is being worked by Sam G. Knott.
Chicago parties are working in
dozen places close to this property and
ore that shows the real stuff can be
picked up at any of the dumps.

GLOBE DISTRICT INTERESTED
IN PINAL MOUNTAIN STRIKE

GLOBE. April 5.-A discovery of gold
ore of sufficient magnitude and rich
ness to excite a run OF prospectors
from all over the country to the ois-
trict has been recently made and lts
value proven on the Pinal mountain
range of mountains, six miles south-
east of Globe.
IT is a veritable mountain of mlneral,
which will assay all the way from Sz.eo
to 1884 to the ton, and there Is SUI
ficient ore of free milling character
in sight, averaging $3.50 to tine toli,
to keep a ffty-stamp mill running tor
at least 20 years-possibly longer-wlth
tremendous profits to the operators.
This strike was made two months
ago by Bob Henry and Dick Wimoeriy'
two we'll known local prospectors' VINO
have GROWN gray in the search for the
yellow metal The news of the strike
has been withheld from the genera
public until some idea of the maghi-
tude of the discovery ana 1ts linpo-t
ance could be determined with rea
sonable degree of accuracy. Hand!-
canned by a want of funds-a grub
stake-the old prospectors sought the
financial assistance of Ernest Thomas
manager of the local liquor cure, VINO,
after having the property examined
by a number of the local mining men,
! and making a personal 1nyestlSatloh'
decided on the venture ana mas peeh
supplying the money for the oeVelop-
ment work, which has been going on
! during the past eight weeks, with the
result that perhaps one of the greatest
| cold propositions in the territory has
been uncovered, and fourteen claims
fairly glistening with gold have been
| located, on all of which assessment
work has been done.

TIME Sun is able to present to its
readers today some new and in
II teresting views of the value of the
gold ore at Dulzura, says the San
Diego Sun. The Sun has every rea-
son to believe that these are abso-
lutely honest, fair and impartial views
and that they may be regarded as
authoritative. The gist OF them is tnat
the camp has possibilities, that prac-
tically nothing else has been proved
yet. but the conditions are favorable
for the uncovering of low grade ore
which will pay. 1t is also stated on
the best authority that nothing can be
proved definitely until some extensive
digging is done-not card-playing on
claims and boastful.> flamboyant talk.
What should encourage honest en-
thusiasts is that the work of digging
at Dulzura has been started by a num-
Der of men and that real tests may
soon be had. If they show that the
ore is fairly good, Dulzura will be a
good mining camp.
One of those who have just returned
from the camp is George A. Clelaho' d
mining engineer of large experience IN
Mexico and Nevada, who now mas
his headquarters in this city This is
what he says after spending ABOUT
week at Dulzura:
II went to the camp prejudiced
against it and 1 have returned I'M
pressed with it's possibilities. That is
all I care to say, and it Is all any
honest and capable mining man can
say, I believe. There are immense

southeast for miles, parallel ana regu-
lar. The formation is very favorable

LADD MOUNTAIN SHOWS
SUSTAINED GOLD VALUES

BULLFROG, April 5.-The situation
on Ladd daily becomes more encour-
aging. The leasers are not only paint
ing the mountain back on the Bullfrog
map, but they are using fast colors.
The discoveries which they are max
ing are of sensational character. A
dollar-a-pound ore is nothing uncom-
mon. Returns even higher than this
have been obtained. The Lemle peo-
pie have 500 pounds sacked which be-
longs to the dollar-a-pound class, and
five tons which will run around $500,
besides a good assembly of excellent
shipping.
Bacigalupi & Logland have foot of
ore which according to assay returns
yields $292.95, and all the rest of the
leasers are getting out the high-grade
variety. Additional leasers are going
to work and other applications are In
Hitherto only the west slope of the
mountain has been attracting attention,
but recent prospecting has disclosed
the fact that the other side is just as
good from mineral standpoint, and
attention is being directed to this To-
cality. The other day stranger In
camp knocked off piece of outcrop
which looked like $400 or $500.

RED KING CLAIM
MAKES RICH STRIKE
ORE THAT SHOWS VALUE OF
$4,000 A TON
Rogers Syndicate Block Is Scene of
Discovery That Promises Mill
lions for Its Owners.
Short Lease

GOLDFIELD, April 5.-Another one
of those sensational strikes of high
grade that has made Goldfeld famous
throughout the world was found yes
terday afternoon.
1t was no accidental find, and no
surface proposition, either, as it came
from a depth of close to 400 feet.
The discovery was made on the Rog-
ers-Syndicate block of ground on the
Red King claim, owned by the Flor
ence Goldfield company. The lease Is
not incorporated, and there is no SEM
blance of a stock deal connected with
it. 1t is another illustration of what
can be done with the right kind of
work, and also furnishes evidence that
If a lessee strikes it Igch here he can
take out more gold in a few months
than he can find in years in almost
any other mining camp in the world.
In an upraise at the 400-foot level
seam of high grade was followed, ana
fifteen feet above the top of the drift
the streak widened out to formidable
dimensions, and the superintendent de-
cided to drift ON it. This drift from
the upraise has been extended twenty
five feet on the ore shoot and there
is now in the breast three feet of as
rich ore as ever was mined in Gold
field. All of the rock shows gold to
the naked eye, and picked pieces Will
run as high as $50,00O a ton. 1t Is
identical in appearance with the best
ore that was mined on the Hayes-Mon-
nette lease on the Mohawk.
Louis H. Rogers, who pinned his
faith to this block of ground, deserves
the greatest credit for the find. 1t was
difficult for him and his partners 10
meet the payroll ana Keep on sinking
without any ore in sight. Some of his
associates became discouraged and
dropped out. Then he secured financial
aid from Chicago friends, who will
be we'll repaid for their investment.
The lease has only until July II to
run. but that is long enough to make
the owners independently rich

LITTLE CLARA SHOWING
EXCITES ANOTHER RUSH

PHOENIX, April 5.-Prospectors in
the Big Williams district of the north
ern Yuma county are greatly excited
over a big strike made in the Little
Clara property Sunday, and George
Burch, who is in Phoenix from the
mine, states that as soon as the strike
becomes generally known there will be
a rush of fortune hunters into the dis
trict
Burch states that on the 200-foot
level of the Crown Princess claim in
the Little Laura group a four-foot
ledge of ore, averaging 5000 in gold
to the ton and running into thousands
of dollars in the richest streak, has
been opened up.
The little Clara property is better
known as the Carrigan strike, which
attracted wide attention about three
years ago when ore that run as high
as 100000 in gold to the ton was
found near the surface. At that time
there was rush into the district,
hundreds of claims being staked.

MOB HILL MINE SELLS
TO THE SANTA BARBARA
Group of Ten Claims Brings Eighty
Thousand Dollars in the Trans
scton-Much Work on
Mob Hill

SEARCHLIGHT; April 5.-A deal OF
considerable magnitude was consum-
mated last week. when the Santa Bar
bara Searchlight M. & M. company
took over the property of the Mob
Hill Mining company, comprising
group of ten claims, located in the
Mob Hill district, about one mile from
the Rich Hill mine, which at present
is being operated by the former COM
many. The purchase price was $S0,OOO,
the bond running for one year. Su-
perintendent Taylor put force of men
to work last Tuesday on the Daisy
Belle claim, where an exceptionally
good showing appears. Ore valued at
$40 per ton has been opened up on tne
surface. A shaft will be sunk on this
claim.
Developments are progressing most
satisfactorily at the Rich Hill mine,
where Superintendent Taylor has a
large force of men at work. Between
the two properties eighteen men are
employed, and it is the intention to IN
crease this force after the proposed
new Loder gas smelter has been IN
stalled.
The Santa Barbara Searchlight M. &
M. company is doing considerable to-
ward the development of the Mob Hill
district. John NJ. Taylor returned the
first of the week from a trip to Reno
and Denver, where he went for the
purpose of hurrying the contractors on
the construction of the new 1OO-ton
smelter. which. according to the agree
noent of the contract entered into with
the Loder Smelter & Refiner company,
the plant must be ready for shipment
here by April 2S. The smelter is build
ing in Reno, and the machinery is be
ing constructed by the Liner Engl-
neering company of Denver. A num-
Der of engines have been ordered IN
Los Angeles, and the contractors VINO
have charge of the building of the
plant are confident that the smelter
will be ready for shipment to Search

GOLD SPIKE SOUVENIR
OF CONSOLIDATED RAILROAD

GOLDFIELD, April 5.-A spike made
of pure gold was the present given
Thomas D. Jones of Chicago yesterday
by George Wingfield, in behalf of the
Consolidated Mines company
1t is of the regulation size and weighs
thirteen ounces. On one of the faces
of the highly polished spike are en-
graved these words:
Last spike driven in Goldheld Con-
colidated railroad, April 2, 190S''
On the opposite side the inscription
reads a follows:
presented to Thomas D. Jones by
the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines COM
pany."
Mr. Jones has been here for day or
two, and is the third largest stockholder
in the Consolidated, as his holdings are
next to those held by George Wingfield
and Senator Nixon.
The railway has not been completed
from the mines to the mill, but it will
not be many days until the work is
finished. 1t is purely a Consolidated
rail way and equipment as well as train
crews will be under the supervision of
the company.
