, Nothing attracts the attention of
the mining world like rich gold ore,
and this has been well proved at
Bonanza 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

represented in the throng that has
visited the underground workings of
the Bonanza mine All kinds of We
hicles have been pressed into service
to convey the crowds from Silver
Lake to the mines, and several par
ties have come from Los Angeles in
automobiles. All marvel at the
amount of gold displayed in the
drifts in the Owl and Arizona, and
many large investments in Bonanza
property have been made.
G. c. Patterson OF Detroit was one
OF the many who was brought to b.
nanza by desire to see the great
mine, and was one of the most en-
thusiastic visitors. "Marvelously
rich.' is the way Mr.. Patterson de-
scribed the Owl drift. II never saw
such a remarkable showing of gold
IN my life as that revealed by a visi.
to the Owl ground of the Bonanza
company" said he THE Bonanza is
the richest gold mine ever inspect
ed, and viii, believe, become one Of
the greatest producers your State has
ever had. Mr.. Patterson closed a
deal for big block of the stock IF
the company as a result of his exam
ination.
A. c. Terry, a wealthy Chicagoan,
was at the Bonanza Friday seeking
an investment, which he found in
the Owl lease No. 1. in which he Sc
cured a one-sixth interest for large
sum in cash.

days. also l.. A. w. Johnson and a

Mr.. r. D. Robinson OF Los Angeles,
VINO 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
lease as well. This findin the Owl
assures me that We 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
