LEASERS
ARE AT WORK
HART DISTRICT IN POSITION
WHERE THEORIES ARE
LAID ASIDE.

HART, Cal, April 30.-Over thir-
ty leasers and independent eompal-
les are fast bringing the properti S
in the Hart district TO that stage
where theories have been laid aside,
and where actual facts in the way
Of ore bodies are the only evidences
submitted to convince the world Of
the greatness of the mineral resouF-
ces OF Hart. One MIL has already
arrived and is now being installed.
Another one will be built by the Gar
avanza Mining and Milling COMPANY,
which will treat custom ores. More
than sufficient ores have already bean
guaranteed by leasers, and the milb
will be built with the intention OF
enlarging its capacity to 100 tons as
soon as water sufficient for this siz' q
plant can be developed. There are
large bodies of medium grade ore
already opened up, and after the
custom mill is established the small
operator will be enabled to pay his
way, and i nthe meantime go aftar
depth. where the sulphides will n
doubtedly yield fortunes.
The sensation of the week has
been the strike made at the Pfunde~

crosscut an ore shoot was broken
into last Sunday which promises to
rival anything yet discovered in the

$3.50 per. ton, and as developments
progress the ore body grows in mag
nitude. This lease is working north
