SEARCH FOR OIL
AND find GOLD

The search for oil in this section
is quite likely to develop something
in the way of mineral deposits in un-
suspected places. One such instance
has been reported from the vicinity
of Minnesota Springs that, to judge
from samples taken is likely to prove
a whale. Tony Laguna and a coupe
of others ran across ledge, while
locating oil lands, that looked good
to them, and broke off few pieces
for testing. Their surprise may be
imagined when assay returns gave
values of about $500, about equally
divided between the white and yell
low metals No time was lost in get
ting back to it. and a number of
claims were located along the ledge.
In prospecting around the vicinity
they report finding several tons of
float, all of which looks as good as
the samples taken, and they asset
the will be no difficulty in picking
IN good shipment from the surface.
Development work will be started on
the locations in short time.-Bla;r

UNCOVERS GOOD
LEDGE AT JUMBO

Dave Selby, one of the pioneers OF
the district, has uncovered ledge on
the Mayfower, about an eighth of a
mile south of the new mill, that
promises to become one of the big
gest things in camp. It was opened
by crosscut from the shaft on the
claim and the drift has now pass I'd
through seven feet of the ledge with
no hanging wall in sight. Work is
being continued to determine theI
width of the ore body. 1t is. all of
good milling grade, with stringers
that run into high values. One sam
pie assayed 1925 per ton.
Coarse gold is shown by panning
with large quantities of heavy sui
phurets. The vein can be traced
100 feet diagonally across the
claim, and is trending into the main
ledge system of the district. 1t is in
highly mineralized territory, and
all around there are numerous lodges
that carry values on the surface.
Considerable work is being done in
the vicinity of the Selby find, and IT
is likely that other discoveries will
be reported at any time.
No great amount of work has been
done on the south side of the can-
yon, thought it has always been re-
garded as a promising district. Tue
new discovery has stimulated inter
est in that locality, and from this
time forward it win receive more att.
tention. At numerous points rich
float has been found land small string
ers that gave high assays were un-
covered at different times, but lack
Of money prevented a thorough de-
velopment of that part of the dts
trict.-Jumbo Miner.

SENSATION ON
LADD MOUNTAIN

The biggest sensation which Ladd
mountain has ever yielded is a strike
just made at the "66" lease on Ma
tional Bank ground.
The WINE from the main drift az
a depth of 33 feet shows three feet
and nine inches of ore, which from q
conservative sampling returned an
average of $307.45. Picked sam
pies will run into the thousands The
ore is rich-very rich, and the frae
gold is plain to the unaided eye.
Planned the material throws a string
of colors which reminds one of $40
gold pieces.
Those who claim familiarity witt
Laid are of the opinion that this is
the main ore shoot of the mountain.
1t is the biggest body of high grade
vet uncovered. Heretofore the les
sees struck ore from to Is inches,
but nothing this wide returning such
values has even been encountered be-
fore
AP30 feet the high grade eshoot
showed a width of only two inches.
It began to widen rapidly and at the
present depth 1t maintains the width
mentioned with every indication If
additional strength with further
depth.
The lease is owned by Fred Rem
ick, William Taylor, Elmer Baker,
George Garden and Charles Pierson,
and was originally known as the
Dreyer lease. The lessees are natu-
rally very enthusiastic over their
strike, and they are preparing to
make a shipment in short time.
Conservatively estimated, they place
their shipping average at 5000, but
those who have examined the Gre
think it will go very much higher
than this.
The operators have built ore bins,
screens and grizzlers, and are going
after the ore in systematic and
minerlike fashion. Ten tons of hisa
grade are already on the dump, and
shipment is being rapidly assem-
bled.
The uncovering is the biggest
thing yet discovered on Ladd noun
tain, and If the high grade holds with
depth the lessees have fortune
within their grasp.-Bullfrog Miner

SCHEDULE WILL
HANDICAP NATIONALS

The old handicap against the Washing
ton club sprang up last night when the
American League schedule was given out
and it was made public that the Nationals
will open in Boston and then play New
York before having game at home. 1t
has been the rule to open here in the past
on account of the weather being warmer
than in Boston, but the latter kicked and
the dates in the future will be handed out
in rotation. Fortunately the Boston club
doesn't look very strong this year, and
the Nationals may be able to get good
start although playing away from home.
In the olden days with the Bostons. New
York and Philadelphia being very strong
it was thought best to give Washington all
the advantage possible in playing at home.
but the Nationals look too good this sea
son to be favored any more and the Bos-
ton protest was hearkened to.
Outside of this bad start, the Nationals
can be said to have Jared as we'll as any
of the other clubs. The Fourth of July
games here are the only holiday dates
given Washington at home. but Memorial
day and Labor day, being played in Bos-
ton and lew York. respectively, will help
out considerably in a financial way. If
the Nationals can get anything like an
even break with the three eastern clubs
at the start of the season they will stand
a splendid chance OF making good against
the western contingent. Everything de-
ponds upon the condition, and Manager
Cantillon can be depended upon to have
his men in as good if not better shape
clubs The delayed opening in this city
Is something of a novelty, but 1t will only
increase the anxiety of the Washington
fans to see their favorites in action.

that has never been seen here before
will be the interdepartmental relay race
Relay teams from the various government
departments will be matched against one
another in a mile race. AS base ball
games between the various branches of
the government service have always
aroused a great deal Of enthusiasm there
seems to be no reason why a race between
them will not create the same amount of
enthusiasm: Various alumni of the east
