AS a result of the finding of oil near
what was once known as Hicks Hot
Springs, Goldheld may some time in the
future use the product for fuel, and
to prevent the binding dust storms so
annoying to residents, at a cost of
something like 70 cents per barrel, ac-
cording to a statement made by Diamond
field Jack Davis, who is interested in the
discovery.
Mr.. Davis, George Wingfield and Jack
Regain own the 120-acre block of land
embracing the hot springs and the land
upon which the find was made Ac-
cording to Mr.. Davis the oil was found
while doing assessment work on GER
tain properties held by the parties
named. and appeared in the form of a
seepage at a depth of about two feet
The country surrounding the discovery
which is about sixty-five miles from Gold
field and within 200 feet of a siding on
the Tonopah & Tidewater railroad, is low
and marshy, and is said to present every
characteristic of the well known oil
sands. The seepage to a depth of about
two feet, quart bottle Of the liquid, which
smells strongly Of petroleum, was
brought to Goldfield for analysis, and
upon arrival here 1t was found that the
oil had accumulated on the surface of
the water to a depth of two or three
inches. In color the petroleum Is dark
and though no analysis has as yet been
made, it is thought to be of very high
class.
Mr.. Davis stated that company
would be organized at once and a we'll
will be sunk on the property within a
very short time. work probably beginning
shortly after the first of the year. Be

The earliest mining district in the ter
ritory and one which is still operating
despite the copper stump, the Ajo dis
trict, located more than 100 miles west of
Tucson and forty-five miles south of ella
Bend, has record that is unique, and
w. r. Morgan, who is operating one of
the properties in the district, speaks in
terestingly of the early days of the camp.
'Ajo ores have been taken as far as
Swansea, Wales for smelling, as Swan
sea was the location of one of the earliest
smeIters" remarked Mr.. Morgan.
1.-The ores were taken south to the
gulf in the early days and then they
were shipped either to San Francisco or
else around the Horn to Wales
1.-THE term 'Ajo' in Spanish means gar
lie, and it was owing to the fact that
wild garlic was found growing there thar
the district received it's name.

MINE OWNERS
WILL BUILD SHELTER

A copper matte smelter is to be built
at Nina, New, and work on it will be
started in the near future. Those back
of the enterprise are Col. o. p. Poseyr
DIR. Edward Bowes and ]. D. Sword
Associated with them are some of the
prominent mine owners and capitalists
Of Goldfield and Tonopah. The capt.
tai, aggregating s25O,OOO, for the cree
ton of the plant has been pledged,
and the works will have a daily ca
pacity of 200 tons.
Nina is the terminus of the Southern
Pacific, the Tonopah and Goldheld, as
well as the narrow gauge road known
as the Colorado & California, which
runs south to Keller. All of these
roads penetrate mining areas, and
being a terminal point, the company
will save extra charge for ores that
would be assessed If two separate com
panies handled them. Silicious ores
from Goldfield, as we'll as the GOLDFISH
yer ores from other sections, will be
wanted for fiuxing purposes.

AJO MINING DISTR CT IN ARIZONA
POSSESSES INTERESTING HISTORY

er located twenty-five miles below Ajo
on the trail to the shipping port on the
gulf. At this smelter the Ajo ores were
treated ana the bullion was then shipped
away for still further reduction.
This smelter did a thriving business
and a little town was founded about 1t.
This town, however, was wiped out in Ii
night when a band of Apaches on the
warpath swooped down on the settlement
and massacred thirty people.
1.-The Ajo properties were at one time
held by the Mexican government, which
had sent an army officer there to locate
them. When the Gadsden treaty was ne
gotiated the properties were still held by
Mexico and a band of soldiers were kept
there. The latter refused to leave. The
situation became desperate and band OF
frontiersmen organized and swooped down
on the Mexican soldiers. The battle was
brief, b1oodless and decisive. The from
tiersmen won the day"

FIVE FEET OF ORE is
UNCOVERED AT PIocHE

very important discovery of high
grade ore has been made in the Prince
mine, belonging to the Prince Consoli-
dated Mining company. A body of ore
five feet in thickness was uncovered
in the bottom of the shaft at the 300
foot level This ore Is the richest that
has as yet been encountered on the
property, and the management and own
ers are not alone elated because of the
quantity of the ore, but because of the
fact 1t demonstrates that with depth
the ore increases in value.
This body of ore runs well in silver
and lead and carries some gold.

Special Correspondence Of The Herald.
WONDER. New, Jan. 8. - At this
time, when mining operations through
out the state of Nevada are at
a standstill, with little promise Of early
resumption, 1t is cheering to know that
the mines of California are working and
that new country is being developed.
This condition is not due to the values
of California ores as compared to what
has in times past been brought to the
surface at Tonopah. Goldfield, Fairview
and Wonder, Nevada, but rather because
the ore of California is in the main free
milling and, Furthermore, that the mines
of the state are not subject to labor
troubles.
Throughout the counties of San Ber-
nardino and Riverside are rich deposits of
precious metals. and day by day new
strikes are being made closer and closer
to Los Angeles and mills are now pound
ing out a stream of yellow gold in places
unknown five years ago.

Happy Jack mine, located thirty-nine

Southern Pacific line, the writer, who,

tire state as well as others, never had
Nine years ago the range was dead
waste, undisturbed other than by the
''yip, zip" of the coyote or the dreaded
buzz of the venomous rattler, but now
all along the Chuckawalla range one
can hear the echo of shots as the miners
rend the stone and attain greater depth
on the rich lodges of porphyritic quartz
that characterizes the Chuckawalla
mountains.
1t is a matter of interest to know that
the Happy Jack is an "all Los Angeles
corporation and equally so to know that
over 5000 feet of development work has
been done on the property.

The company has up to the present

SMALL BOAT RACING.
One PNze Withdra1cn, but No Lack
of Guns for 15-FoOters.

When yachting came to a close last fall Com
fnodore w H. ChiIds of the Bensonhurst Yacht
Club made the announcement that he would give
the cost of one Of the boats prize for a
sons racing if six yachts built
for a proposed one-design class of 1S-footers for
Gravesend Bay racing. The idea met with the
approval of Lower Bay yachtsmen, and three
boats were pledged when the offer was first made.
Owing to the financial strtngency, however no
other orders have been placed, so at special
meeting of the committee held Friday it
decided to abandon the idea of promoting the class
until 1909. To keep up the interest of small boat
sailors on Cfravesend Bay, however, the Benson
hurst Yacht Club has offered three cups for the
l5-foot class, providing that five or more of this
division race next summer. The prizes Will be
known as the Commodores cups.
The Upton cup boats Of last season are 15-foot-
ers so these boats will be eligible for the new
trophies There are boats in the class
These yachts however need not comply with the
restrictions that governed their building II means,
therefore that cabins may be ripped off and as
flush deck craft the boats may race next year.
ON top of the announcement of the Benson
hurst Yacht Club comes another offer for the Lip
ton c,lp boats c. J. McDerInott, of the Crescent
Athletic and the Atlantic Yacht clubs. has offered
A cup for the division, providing that the Upton
trophy is again put up for competition next sum-
ner II is understood that Messrs. Speidel Broth
ers of the New York Canoe Club, who have pro-
tested the other boats in the class for not being
built according to restriction willing to put
,Ip the cup for next years racing, providing that
the protest is decided in their favor. There is the
possibility therefore of Lower Bay 15-footers rae
ing for five cups next summer.
