BIG STRIKE IN FRACTION
ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION

The FIVE feet of $3.50 ore which was
opened on the 300-foot level of the
Fraction in Goldfeld on Wednesday, as
reported in The Herald by special serv-
Ice, continues to attract attention from
every source.
No glory hole in the entire district,
including the Hayes onnette work
ings of the Mohawk, ever offered a
comparison with this find. The ore
shoot is said to be the same as the one
opened UP at the 450-foot level, which
was traced back to the 300 level. On
the 800 the shoot forked and the samp-
ling was only from one of the branches.
Simultaneous with the report of the
strike came the announcement that tho
threatened litigation anent side lines
had been compromised and a lawsuit
averted. Engineers say that, as mat
ter of fact, the side lines of the Com
bination Fraction are, from the man
ner in which the property is located.
its end lines, fact that precludes the
possibility of any extra lateral rights
within it's boundaries.
With the withdrawal of the suit and
the knowledge that the new strike dips
directly into Consolidated ground
should have started a boom that would
make the Mohawk pale into insignifi-
canoe.

FIND NEAR GLOBE SHOWS
QUARTZ RICH IN SPECIMENS

Reports are that the strike of rich
gold ore, four miles northwest of Globe,
is holding out well, the quartz at a
depth of fifteen feet being as rich in
gold, apparently, as 1t was at the grass
roots, where specimens were obtained
which were literally alive with free
gold and assaying as high as $4,000 to
the ton.
The discovery shaft is located about
200 feet west of the Black Warrior
pump house, and not far from a corner
of the Fuller homestead at the mouth
of the Miami valley. The claims are
situated on gold bearing belt running
through the country from northeast to
southwest, and on which are located
the keystone mine of the Cid Domin-
ion company, the Golden Eagle mine,
successfully operated in 1ss0-S1, and the
Lost Gulch locations farther wset. 1t
is a gold bearing section, the country
rock carrying small values.

LOCAL CELERY GROWERS
PLANT LARGE ACREAGE

For the next two or three months the plant
ing of celery. which has just begun on the
lands surrounding Huntington Beach, West
Minister and Wintersburg will continue vigor-
ously. 1t is estimated that fully 5000 acres
will be planted and the use of the bordeaux
mixture for spraying. to prevent blight. is all
most universal among the ranchers in this
section.
The plants this year are in excellent con-
dition and it is believed that celery shipments
to the east from this county will hereafter
command good prices. Besides the better con-
dition os the crop the quantity produced will
be less than in former years and will not,
therefore. be the drug on the market which it
land formerly planted in celery has been COM
verted to other uses and the acreage will be
considerably less.

ON PRODUCE EXCHANGE
THIRD RISE IN PRODUCT IN FIVE
DAYS
Falling Of in Receipts and Hot
Weather Cause Market to Be-
come Frm-Bartlett
Pears Decline

For the third time this week eggs ad-
vanced on the produce exchange yesterday
This most recent advance affects all stock
now being shipped to Los Angeles, inelud-
ing eastern eggs. The advances are the
natural outcome of the hot period, when It
is difficult to get fancy stock to destination
and still have 1t in first class condition. The
receipts are NOT so heavy now as in less
heated periods and this condition of course
reduces the supply, but not in proportion to
the demand.
The new quotation on ranch eggs is 20 @
27c, difference of lie on both top and bot
tom prices. Eastern eggs advanced lc'
bringing the new quotation to 20 a 24c.
The market was well supplied with all
kinds of fruit and vegetables at prevailing
quotations. The demand was not what
might be expected but with everything taken
into account trade conditions were fair
Bartlett pears declined to $1.25 " box
There was a good supply Of celery on hand
fancy stock selling at S1.25 a dozen.
