BONANZA FROM ALL
SECTIONS.

WI lux
SINCE the wonderful strike in the Owl
one week ago, which was telegraphed
TO all parts of the country and ap-
peared in the Associated Press dis
patches Of the principal papers Of
the West. Not only are mining men
OF Nevada and California turning
their eyes this way, but from the
East many inquiries are coming,
looking for yerification of the great
gold finds in the Crackerjack dis
trict.
nothing attracts the attention Of
the mining world like rich gold ore.
and this has been well proved at
this week. Hundreds have
visited the Owl and adjoining ground
and viewed the wonderful strike on
the second level. Not only nave min
ing men and prospectors from the
surrounding country been drawn to
Bonanza by the score, but Los An
geles and the East have been well
represented in the throng that has
visited the underground workings of
the Bonanza mine. All kinds of We
hicles have been pressed into service
o convey the crowds from Silver
Lake to the mines, and several par
ties have come from Los Angeles in
automobiles. All marvel at tho
amount of gold displayed in the
drifts in the Owl and Arizona, and
many large investments in Bonanza
property have been made.
G. G. Patterson of Detroit was one
OF the many who was brought to Bo-
nanza by a desire to see the great
mine, and al one of the most en-
thusiastic visitors. "Marvelously
rich is the way Mr.. Patterson de-
scribed the Owl drift. Il v saw
such a remarkable showing of gold
In my life as that revealed by a visit
to the Owl ground of the Bonanza
company" said he. "The Bonanza Is
the richest gold mine | ever inspect
ed, and will, | believe. become one If
the greatest producers your State has
ever had Mr.. Patterson closed a
deal for a big block of the stock Of
the company as a result of his exam
nation.
A. c, Terry, a wealthy Chicagoan,
was at the Bonanza Friday seeking
an investment. which he found in
the Owl lease No. /, in which he Sc
cured a one-sixth interest for a large
sum in cash.

the Bonanza company are at the
mine and viii remain for several

party from Los Angeles.
Mr.. R. d. Robinson of Los Angeles,
who is a large stakeholder in the
Bonanza, and also one of the princi-
pal hackers of the Todd lease on the
Owl, arrived at the camp Saturday
and Immediately went to the mine.
When seen the same evening, Mr..
Robinson said: The strike in the
Owl is of course highly gratifying to
me, as ! am not only interested in
the Bonanza mine, but in the Todd
as we'll. This fndin the Owl
assures mt that VIZ will get the same
ore shoot in our lease. | have re-
fused a large offer for my interest
in the lease. and would not now dis
pose Of my share under any consid-
GRAFTON. The strike in the Owl this
week makes Bonanza one of the great
mines of the State, and proves that
we have a camp here that is the
equal of any on earth"
A telegram received BY Mr.. Robin
son while at the mine stated that a
party OF Baltimore capitalists had
left that city for Bonanza and would
this week, In the party are
VI. c. Greer, millionaire cattle man;
L. b. McMullen and j. II. Turner.
Bonanza is at last getting its full
share of attention from the country,
and the coming summer will see the
camp as much in the public eye as
some of the great boom camps OF
which probably have not
Dne-half the amount of ore to show.
Bonanza will become the greatest
camp in California within six
is the prediction made by
lne mining man. and many believe
he is not far from the truth.-Crack.
