RAWHIrG SHIPS ORE
AMOUNTING TO $4,000
1t Is Believed That Mines Included in
Shipment Will Be cIassed as
Regular Producers in
Future
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
RAWHIDE, New, Aug. 16.-The clos
ing week in July was marked by ore
shipments from this camp having an
aggregate worth of $780, 300, no portion
of the product having a gold worth be-
low $100 to the ton, and all of 1t being
consigned to Utah smelling points.
From the Kearns No. 2 lease on the
estate of the Rawhide Queen Mines
company thirty-five tons of 5000 per ton
ore went out, totaling $10,500; thirty
tons of $100 per ton rock went out from
the Waiter Boys lease on the Gar
claim of the Regent Rector company,
totaling $4,000; the Stinsop lease on the
estate Of the Royal Tiger company, sent
out thirty tons of $100 rock, totalling
$4,000; the Grutt Hill Mint company sent
out thirty tons of $165 per ton ore, to-
falling $4950; from the Mckinley lease
on the Czar twenty tons of $210 per ton
ore went out, totaling $4,000; from the
Jordan lease on the Queen Mascot es-
tate ten tons of $50 per ton ore and
1900 pounds of $1.70 per pound ore went
out. totaling $7650. The consignments
from the Mint, Jordan and Mckinley
holdings marked their advent to the
ranks of shippers.
Judging by the mineral showing at
each there is little question but what
they are henceforth to be classed as
regular producers.

ORANGE BLOSSOM NINE
AMONG BIGGEST IN STATE
Extension Makes Record Before the
Parent Concern Gets Started.
Original Install Large Mill
and Complete Plant

The Orange Blossom Extension mine,
nine miles out from Bagdad, promises
to make a record even before the par
ent company, the original Orange Bios
som, owned by John Denair and asso-
ciates, gets we'll started. For the older
company has been putting up a very
large mill and complete plant that re-
quired more time.
The mill started on the extension
property a few days since and the
word from there is that the mill is
handling ore that assays SIG, taken
from the 400-foot level, and that from
80 to 95 per cent of the assay value is
being saved-a very high percentage.
There is an immense volume of the
ore, and the richness of the property
is already established.
To keep the situation straight in the
public mind there are three companies
now operating in this district, all
using the Orange Blossom name. The
original company is the Orange Bios
som Mining and Milling company, of
which Mr.. Denair is president, which
has very extensive development work
DONE thousands of tons of ore blocked
out, and will start its new mill early
in September.
The second company is the Orange
Blossom Extension, whose mill record
Is noted above, and which has just
begun milling. This company is large
ly owned in San Diego.
The third company is the Orange
Blossom Annex, principally owned by
Needles men, and believed to be fully
as rich as either of it's more developed
neighbors.
Mining experts who have been
through the Orange Blossom declare
it to be in the class of the biggest
mines of California.

RICH BODY OF COPPER
Is STRUCK IN FUNERALS
SAID TO BE STRONGEST VALUES
YET ENCOUNTERED
On Little Lee Group Ore Appears in
Lenses-AlI Material Extracted
Is Ready for Ship
ment

RHYOLITE, New, Aug. 16.-W. C.
Rice, owner of the Little Lee group OF
mining claims in the Funerals, ad-
Joining the California Bullfrog, has
made an uncovering which bids fair ia
be one of the richest bodies yet en-
countered in this vicinity. At depth
of forty-five feet, in the incline SHAFT,
Rice broke into ore which carries hlgh
values in copper, lead and silver.
There is no question as to the richness
of the samples which Rice exhibited
in Rhyolite the first of the week.
Thev were almost solid metal. similar
material from the same locality mas
given assay returns of 14OO ounces IN
silver, besides showing a liberal lead
and copper content.
The point at which sinking is being
carried on shows a junction of two
veins, one trending north and south
and the other east and west. The ore
appears in lenses, and these lenses
are very rich. The north and south
lead shows a width of from twenty
inches to three feet of vein matter and
the east and west about sixteen lnches.
Practically all the material which is
now being extracted is shipping ore,
and Rice thinks if further development
shows a continued improvement that
he will be able to send out regular con-
signments of high grade. He mas
made a careful examination of the
ground and is of the opinion that un-
doubtedly the junction of the two veins
means a large and profitable ore body.

CALIFORNIA COAL
PRODUCTION DROPS
DECREASE is DUE TO GREAT
OIL OUTPUT
Remarkable Growth in Consumption
of Petroleum from Local Fields
Reduced Demand for
Northern Coal

The production of coal in California
in 1907 was the smallest reported in the
state since mining began in 1861, ac-
cording to E. w. Parker of the United
States geological survey.
The increased production of petro-
leum and its use for fuel purposes have
had a most demoralizing effect on the
California coal industry, and except Tor
domestic purposes there Is little market
for the product.
From 77O5O tons in 1905 the coal out
put decreased to 1920 tons in 1906; In
1907 the total production was but To-
81 tons, valued at $38,213.
During 1907, however, a considerable
amount of development work was done
at the Stone Canyon coal properties In
Monterey county, and when transpor-
tation lines now in course of construc-
tion have been completed to this field,
which lies twenty-five miles from the
Southern Pacific railroad, the coal out
put of California Will probably De
greatly increased.
The domestic market has in the past
been supplied by coal from the sub
bituminous (black ligntte) mines OF the
Mount Diablo and Corral Hollow fields
in Alameda and Contra Costa counties,
by coal brought in from Oregon, WASH
ington and British Columbia, and also,
to some extent, Dy coal IroIn Japan anu
Great Britain.
The Monterey county coal is true bi-
luminous and is of much higher grade
than that produced in other parts of
the state or at Coos Bay in Oregon. 1t
can be delivered at San Francisco and
other cities in the state at less cost
than the Goals brought from other
sources and should find a profitable
market.
The attempts at briquetting which
have been made do not seem to have
resulted in increased utilization of the
subbituminous Goals of Mount Diablo
and Corral Hollow. 1t is probable that
this is due partly to the form of the
briuuets, which makes them more suit
able for power purposes than for do
nestle use, moreover, the briquettlng
Industry has suffered because of the
competition of the product with fuel Oil.
Complete statistics of the production
of coal in the United States, prepared
by Mr.. Parker the coal expert ana
chief statistician of the survey, viii be
published as an advance chapter from
Mineral Resources of the United
States, calendar year 1907" This chap
ter, which will be ready for distrlbu-
tion in a few weeks, may be obtained

Circles

srecial to The Herald.
BENSON, Aug. 16-The sensation of
the week in mining circles of Benson
is the ore strike in the working shaft
which was started three or four weeks
ago by Superintendent f. H. Mitchell
of the johnson Copper company.
This company's property is situated
at johnson between the old Peabody
mine and the Copper Chief, which be-
longs to a group owned by the Ari-
zona and Michigan Development COM
pany, whose headquarters are in Ben
son.
The property where the latest
strike was made had already been
proved by prospect openings that had
penetrated the ore bodies which, in the
judgment of the management justified
sinking a working shaft, and Superin-
tendent Mitchell communicated to
James I. Gregg of Benson the news
that they had cut ledge Of fine ore
eighteen inches thick.
AS the two mines on each side of the
ground where the strike is reported
have made the largest surface show
ings of as high grade ore as any prop
erty in Arizona, which is the greatest
copper region yet discovered in the
world, it is not surprising that an 18-
inch vein of high grade ore should be
uncovered so near the surface. Never
theless the superintendent feels elated,
judging from the tone of his letter to
Mr. Gregg.

ON GRIMES DUMP
Automobile Service Is Established
from Tonopah to New District.
Numerous Prospects Are
Being Developed

A visit to Good Reef, New, has just
been made for the purpose of looking
into work being done in that district.
The Grimes property, Whlch mas peen
worked for several months, as far as
they have gone gives very fattering
results. The shaft is down ABOUT
fifty-three feet in depth and the ledge
is increasing in width and values:
The leasers now have several tons or
high grade on the dump and WITHIN
short time will make a Shipment.
They have just completed installing
a whifn and the work of sinking can be
prosecuted much faster than before
There are number of ledges on the
surface which when assayed give large
returns. This is the first property TO
be worked by leasers in this district.
On the Enquist lease two shifts are
working, starting the middle of last
week. While they have attained
depth of but twelve feet they have ap-
parently encountered nice VEIN OIL
ore.
On the Bowler-Herma lease they
are down about thirty-eight feet. The
bottom of the shaft shows seam OF
tale which contains values of high
grade. They have nice little punch
of high grade on the dump.
The latter part of this month DEL
egation of people from Racine, WIS,
who own quite a bunch of claims in
this district, will arrive in Tonopah:
They will make an examination or
their holdings and if indications war
rant intend putting a large force OF
men at work.
Letson Ballet has established daily
auto service to the new camp and is
also interested in a townsite there.

MINING CAMP AT INDE
SUSPENDS OPERATIONS
Fear That Proposed Law Against For
eigners Will Become Effective.
Operators Pull Up Stakes
and Quit
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
DURANGO, Aug. 16.-Very discour-
aging reports are received here from
the mining camp of Inde, nearly all of
the principal mines having closed down.
With the exception of the Guadalupe
and Terrible, there are no mines of inn
portance now operating III that dis
trict. And at these properties only a
small force of miners is retained. 1t is
estimated that only about sixty men
in all are employed in the whole camp.
year ago there were several thou
sand miners working in the various
mines and mills, and the camp was
considered one of the most promising
in the whole state.
One of the causes given for these
deplorable conditions is the lack of
confidence on the part of capitalists in
the -nited States and the fear that the
new mining law will go into effect. The
mines of the district were never in bet
ter shape nor looked more promising
than now. Several new modern mills
were constructed there last year and
are now idle for lack of capital to set
them in motion.
In the meantime the citizens who
have not left for other parts are re-
lying on the jefe polittco to take some
measures to relieve the present situa-
ton, but it is not a matter that one
man can arrange so easily.
Another serious aspect is the high
and advancing price of the necessities
of life. Corn is selling at 10 cents per
liter and beans are not to be had at
any price. These conditions are brought
about by the scarcity of rain last year,
when little or no crops at all were sold.
