Peace and Fairness.

We have heard this week good
many rumors that should cause
the Sheriff to provide for any
emergency. There has been ru.
mors that bulldozing and intimi-
dation is going to be practiced at
the election polls, we believe that
the Pellerin faction can take care
of their interest and repulse any,
thing of this kind, but it should
not be the duty of individuals to
suppress any bulldozing demon
stration. 1t is the duty of the
Sheriff to select force of Depu-
ty Sheriff's, men who are cool,
brave and have the determination
to perform their duty, suppress
disorder aud Jail the disturbers.
This election should be fair and
free from any kind of intimidation
and we look upon the Sheriff to
have a force of deputies at each
poll in order that absolute peace
prevails.
We are in a civilized country
where the majority of free peo-
pie must elect the officers, by free.
ly exercising their righte of fran.
chisp, Gny one trying to force a
voter TO vote his way by intimida-
tlun or otherwise, should be re-
moved from the polls and placed
in Jail and the Sheriff should
have enough deputies in each ward
to take care of all those disposed
to create trouble.
Peace, fairness and a free vote
is what the people demand aud at
any and all cost, they must have
that.
Sheriff, now do your duty.

LUCILLE MINE MAKES
ITS FIRST SHIPMENT
OF EIGHT FULL TONS

The Lucille Gold and Copper company,
operating in San Bernardino county,
eleven miles from Kelso, has just made
it's first shipment, consisting of eight
tons. The ore went to the sampler at
Murray, Utah.
The Lucille is now working six men
and expects to increase the force to
twelve or more after January 1.
The mine is now in position, it Is
said, to keep right on shipping, and
this is the intention of the manage
ment. The ore in the shipment just
made was taken from crosscut of the
ledge on the upper tunnel. This tunnel
is now in $50 feet and the crosscut is
between forty and fifty feet, 100 feet in.
The ore shipped is a sample of ledge
from foot wall to hanging wall. The
management expects to sink a shaft
from the hanging wall to connect with
the lower tunnel
F. r. Pitney, vice president of the
Lucille company, has just returned from
the mine, where he superintendent per-
sonally the gathering and shipping of
the ore. He says the stockholders are
anxiously awaiting returns from the
sampler

MONTE CRIST0 MINE
SELLS FOR 100000
Cash Payment Amounts to $4,000.
Purchasers Live in DougIas-Last
Strike Said to Be Per-
manent

DOUGLAS, Dec. 20.-Good news
comes from the mining field to the
south of Montezuma in the authentic
report of the sale by Carlos Soto of
his Monte Cristo mine to parties well
known in Douglas who have asked
that their names be not yet given out.
The consideration paid for the mine
was 100000 gold, and the cash payment
is $25, 900.
The story did not come from the
purchasers, but from the seller, and
the transaction has been the talk of
Montezuma for several days. Business
reasons are reported as the cause of
the local representatives not making
their purchase known, but it is the
largest transaction reported in the
Montezuma district for many months.
The Monte Cristo mine is well known
i'm Douglas and Sonora among mining
men, and Carlos Soto is also well
known and extremely popular He has
operated the mine for several years
and has had several rich strikes in
that time, each time cleaning up a
tidy sum in shipments, but on every
occasion the strike pinched out.
Last September Soto made another
strike and from the extent of the vein
and the location and geological for
nation decided that he has at last
found the true vein and ore body. Min
ing engineers and experts agreed with
him, as did the experienced mining
men who have just purchased his hold
ings and intend to proceed with the
pushing of development and shipping
of ore from this rich silver proposition.

SPRINGDALE SECTION
ENJOYS BIG ACTIVITY

RHYOLITE, Dec. 20.-The Spring
dale section of the Bullfrog district is
at present the scene of more activity
than ever before and there is more
life both in a mining and general way
than in any other part of the district.
This of course was started by the
phenomenal strike on the Bullfrog Pho
neer, but at the same time there are
other properties deserving of more than
a passing notice.
An investigation shows that the min
eralized lodges which are causing the
excitement in the Pioneer-M ayfiower
section extend on through the Illinois,
Aurora Bullfrog and Tip Top territory.
Since last March three experts have
examined the Aurora Bullfrog ground,
and their report was so favorable that
the company now has $4,000 in the
treasury and is preparing to erect a
mammoth reduction plant of its own.
The Aurora has opened up one ledge
6S feet in width which runs 81 to SO
per ton.
The Tip Top. near the Aurora, also
has large bodies of milling ore exposed.
on the Illinois group, which is much
nearer the Pioneer. there is also an
excellent showing of milling ore.
Charles S. Newton of Holyoke. Mass.
has taken charge of the milling plant
now under construction at Springdaie.
and is sparing no expense TO make II
complete in every detail
Lumber for the Mayfower mill is be-
Ing hauled by A. j. Mcpherson from
Regans Hot Springs The machinery
for the plant win commence to arrive

Visitors by the score continue TO ar
rive daily, and, altogether, the scene
around Springdale presents most
lively appearance.

SYLVANlTE MAKES
NEW DISCOVERIES

SYLVANITE. N. M. Dec. 20.-New
discoveries are being made almost
daily. Last week several important dis
coVeries were made i'm addition to the
development in the Clemmie, where
every foot shows improvement. The
Quo Vadis and Wood mine on the north
of the camp, the Ruth, Nedderland and
Clemmie in the center. and the Quartz
lite on the south, all chronicle the dis
coVery of high grade ore. From the
Quo Nadis on the north to the QuartZite
on the south is nearly five miles across
the mineral belt, with a great number
of valuable prospects in between, as
yet almost unprospected. Last weeks
discoveries demonstrate that the great
ore bodies of Sylvanite are being slowly
but surely uncovered, and they serve
TO show the vast potentialities of the
district.
S. d. Pepin of San Francisco, who ar
rived here two weeks ago from Chafey
New, has purchased the Star and Star
No. l claims located about one mile
north of Granite Gap and covering a
length of 5000 feet of a strong quartz
ledge. The surface groupings of this
yielded on an average Of $12 a ton, and
good looking pieces assayed as high
as S37 a ton. Mr. Pepin left for Cali
fornia to confer with his associates,
and will return shortly to begin opera
lions on the property. Before leaving
Sylvanite he wished to go on record as
an enthusiast on the future of the
camp after giving it a most exhaustive
examination. He takes with him a col
lection of specimens and ores which he
will place on exhibition in Los An
geles and San Francisco.
The Clemmie or Holcomb property
shows such great improvement with
every foot of work done that it prom
ises to make one of the great mines
of America. The extent of the rich ore
is constantly increasing in length and
width, and exploration work shows that
the ore body is more generously en-
riched for a greater width than was
at first supposed. A series of five
open cuts has been made across the
ore giving depths varying from eight
to fifteen feet and proving that the ore
body is a shered quartzite zone fully
thirty feet wide between a hanging
wall of indurated slate and a diorite
foot wall. These openings cover a
length of over 800 feet on the ore and
show strong cross fractures of con-
eidpra ble width

n RESCOTT, Dec. 20.--Advices from
y tLn 81 a,,., ...i.,a Of the

n RESCOTT, Dec. 20.-Advices from
the Galena mine, one of the
\ properties of the Mount Union
Consolidated Mines company, in the
Big Bug district, indicate that the
rich ore struck last week is part of a
large ore shoot that the management
expected to encounter twenty-five feet
farther ahead 1t was broken into in
the west drift from the 300-foot level
of the shaft at q distance of 1876 feet
from the station. The drift has been
pushed through the shoot several feet.
The pay streak has widened from
three to four feet since it was struck,
all high-grade milling ore.
The shoot has a bold outcrop on the
surface from which some rich ore
was mined. The management expected
to break into the ore shoot twenty-five
feet farther ahead in the drift. Its
discovery at this point was very
agreeable surprise.
Ore twas also encountered in the east
drift from the 200-foot level of the
same shaft Tuesday. This drift is also
being pushed ahead. The showing in
dicates that this discovery will open
into another rich shoot of ore.
The Galena shaft is 500 feet deep.
The force employed at present is en-
gagged in running the drifts and block
ing the ore bodies. The directors of
the company believed until lately that
the Galena mine was not as valuable
a holding as the Dividend mine, which
they considered the best of the group
of eleven claims. They now assert that
they Were mistaken, being of the
opinion that the Galena will equal If
not surpass the Dividend in output of
gold ore.
A carload of lumber was purchased
recently to retimber the shaft in the
Dividend mine preparatory to resum-
ing sinking. The Dividend shaft is also
500 feet deep. 1t is the intention to
resume sinking in the Dividend shaft
as well as the Galena shaft soon.
The management expects to start
the mill on Galena ore in the next
thirty days.
Plans for increasing the capacity of
the mill are now under consideration.

Signal District, on Elbow Of Famous
Lode, Comes to Front with Rich Ores

new to interest and benefit the district.
Mr.. Main says that one of the shafts
there is now down $50 feet, another 125
feet and several forty, sixty and
seventy feet on various properties, all
in ore.
1.-The cmap is just starting" said
Mr. Main, land several Los Angeles
men are plotting a townsite at Colts.
The Leisser Rea Mining company is
prospecting for place to sink for water
at Signal. Main and Rogers are doing
work on seven properties, Frank AlVes
is developing four properties and
Howell Gilbert, the Los Angeles marble
man, is opening the Confidence, as
saying from one end of claim to the
other $50 in gold. William V. Carpen-
ter of Los Angeles is sinking on high
grade ore on the Red, White and Blue
Nos. and 8.
Signal is on the same lode as Gold
field, Tonopah and other Nevada mines
which have produced great amounts,
and the formation shows that Signal
lies at the elbow of this lode. The
lode at this point turns east into the
Gold Road district. Everything at
Signal is true fissure veins, clear cut,
well defined. ranging from two to ten
feet wide, cropping out from six to
thirty-five feet. The walls of proper
ties show birdseye porphyry, steel gray
norphyry, slate and lime. Each vein
is separated by a heavy tale gouge.
showing evidence that they reach to
great depth. The principal things to
be found there are gold silver, lead
and tungsten. About 200 properties are
! now located in the district. All of the
principal owners report that they are
taking out good ore from grass roots.
New buildings are going up all the
time, the lumber being shipped from
Los Angeles"
Besides a group of Los Angeles let
ter carriers and postal clerks furnish
ing funds for the development of good
properties, those opening claims at
Signal are Frank L. Rogers, Gar

line of the Sonora railway. In the
immediate vicinity of Opedepe are sew
eral mines with great records of pro-
duction, among them being the San
Ricardo, Santa Gertrudis, Nopalera,
Hormego and many more, all being
westward from the river. The San
Ricardo has a fine mill. Eastward
from the river are the PrOvidencia and
several other good mines. Across the
Anche mountains, eastward on the So
nora river, lies Huepec in a rich min
eral region. A mill and smelter are in
operation there.
Tuape is the next town northward
in the valley of the San Miguel river,
about seven leagues from Opedepe. In
that vicinity are the mines of the Rich
field Copper company, where develop
ment through several years has opened
large bodies of high grade copper ore,
to smelt which reverb sratory furnace
was completed only a week ago.

nHE Signal district, in SAN Ber-

IN HE Signal district, in San Ber-
nardino county, thirty-two miles
Il west of Needles, from most recent
reports brought in by prospectors, is
on the verge of great boom. The camp
for some time past has been working
quietly, those owning property doing
certain development to prove what was
below the rich groupings on the sur
face Several shafts have been sunk,
none of them over $50 feet and most of
them less than 100 feet, and every one
of these shafts is reported to be in ore
all of the way.
A distinct and most favorable feat
ure of Signal is that it is a camp made
up of almost wholly Los Angeles and
Southern California persons Another
point in high favor with the camp
is that it is close to a railroad leading
direct to Los Angeles. The camp is
located eight miles from COTS, on the
Santa Fe, and only nights ride from
Los Angeles.
From all appearances Signal lies on
a rich elbow of the lode known in Ne
yada as the Comstock and is in line
with Goldfeld and other of the rich
discoveries of the past five years
through the southwestern part of Ne
vada. At the point of the Signal camp
the lode is believed TO turn, crossing
the COLORADO river into the OOlu TNOdu
country of Arizona, where the great
Tom Reed and other good mines are
located. and continuing through the
territory into old Mexico and thence
south.
j. F. Main, a prospector of note, who
has explored the southwest region for
the past twelve years, is now in Los
Angeles after a final round up at Sig
nal, which he declares to be the best
thing he has ever seen. Mr.. Main
owns seven claims in the district and
expects to return in a few days to look
after his interests.
A letter which Mr.. Main received
yesterday from a partner at the camp
says that there is a we'll grounded
rumor that relative OF Senator Clark
of Montana had bought a group of
claims at Signal for $4,000. The let
ter also says that the camp is forging
ahead. every day bringing something
