RICH STRIKE is MADE
IN VICINITY OF YUMA

YUMA, Sept 1S.-One of the richest
strikes that has been made In Yuma
county for a long time was made re-
Gently by r. Desmond, who was in
Yuma last week with samples which
will run as high as 5000 to the ton His
claim is located in what is known as
the Eureka mining district, about
twenty-five miles above the dam, and
was until three weeks ago the property
Of Guadalupe Corral, who has for the
past four years been taking out ore
from the surface which Melted him a
good living. He lacked capital to sink
shafts and seemed satisfied with what
he was making. Desmond. who, by the
way, Is one of the best posted mining
men In the west, having been in the
mining line all his life, heard of the
mine and made visit to it. He located
a ledge four feet wide with an eight
inch paystreak through the center. He
was able to trace this 1900 feet without
any trouble. He sunk a couple OF
shafts, one of them twenty-five feet,
and had the ore assayed.
The ore he had assayed was not Sc
lected and runs from 104 to 140 ounces
silver and from I1.50 to 81 in gold and
40 per cent lead. He will at once in
corporate and expects to put In all the
necessary machinery to handle the ore
right on the ground

STRIKE is MADE IN
UNION HILL PROPERTY
Owners of Adjoining Claims to start
Work In Hope of Cutting
Into Producers
Lodges

GRASS VALLEY. Sept. 13.-Unof-
ficially 1t is announced that another
important strike has been made in the
Union Hill mine in the Greek ledge,
where excellent ore was encountered
some time ago.
1t is reported on good authority that
the first lot of specimen rock taken
up in box was valued at fully $1,000
and that since then fully as much more
of the jewelry store stuff has been ex-
tricated.
The Union Hill is making a great
showing under the present manage
ment, and is being developed on a
scientific basis. The ore is said to av-
erage SIS per ton, and sufficient of 1t is
taken out to keep the mill pounding
away night and day.
The strike of rich ore has encour-
aged Joseph Hales and John Sincock,
who own an adjoining claim, to pre-
pare to open their ground. They feel
certain that they will encounter one or
more of the Union Hills lodges, which
1t is claimed pass through their ground.
In this hope they will resume work
this week in their lower tunnel, which
is now In a distance of ITO feet. They
hope to cut a pay chute in a distance
of about seventy-five feet farther.
Judging from the lay of the land and
the pitch of the veins they have an
excellent chance to strike something
good.

RICH GENERAL GRANT
CLAIM IS PURCHASED
TWENTY ACRES IN ARIZONA
BRING $4,000
On the Property 100 Feet of Work Is
Done-6ig Deposit of High
Grade Ore Encoun-
tered

PHOENIX, Sept. 13.-All recent rec
ords in Arizona in the sale of mining
property have just been broken by the
sale of the General Grant mining claim
in the Ellsworth district, ten miles
north of Vicksburg, on the Phoenix &
Eastern, for $4,000 to John S. Wright
of ST. Louis.
William Wilson and George w. Glow
ner are the sellers. They recently
closed the deal with Wright in Flag
staff and have just paid visit to the
property, Glowner coming to Phoenix
to file mineral patent papers in the
local land office.
In the General Grant claim. on which
$50 feet of development work has
shown a big deposit of high grade gold
ore, there are only twenty acres. This
means $4,000 for every acre In the
claim.
According to the terms of the sale
Wright pays $4,000 down, $4,000 as
soon as a mineral patent is secured,
$25. 900 in six months, $4,000 in one
year and $4,000 in eighteen months.
Gowner, who is a prominent Flag
staff attorney, stated today that
Wright plans to put force of men
at work without delay and take out
ore, which will be shipped to the Ell
Paso smelters. There is already thou
sands of dollars worth of rich ore in
sight.
Wright visited the property some
time ago, and was so pleased with the
prospect that he lost no time securing
an option at $85, 900. He returned to st.
Louis and Chicago, and with little diff
ficulty secured the money to make the
first payment of $4,000.
Several prominent experts have Wis
tied the General Grant claim and pro-
nounce it one of the biggest gold de-
posits in the territory. Some Of the
assays made have run into thousands
of dollars in gold to the ton.
Glowner plans to take the first step
in the Phoenix land office and then
leave for his home in Flagstaff. He
said that Wilson is the principal own
er in the property sold and that his in
terest is more that of an attorney than
anything else.

ESCONDID0 DISPLAYS
MINERAL RESOURCES
AT BIG CELEBRATION

ESCONDIDO, Sept. Blast week
was something OF a holiday week for
everybody in this district, as Admis-
sion day, September 9, was celebrated
as Grape day. The mines also had
their inning. A large storeroom was
secured and display of ores was
shown that would have done credit to
many of the more developed camps.
Every piece of ore displayed was TAX
en- from the properties of this district,
with the exception of one small show
case in which were shown specimens
from the various districts.
The Cleveland-Paciflc had an attrac-
tive display of the ore its operators
are now running through the mill. On
top of the ore was a brick OF gold
valued at $500 which was taken from
the plates the day before.
The Bottle Peak had one piece that
would easily weigh $50 pounds. which
was surrounded by smaller pieces.
The largest exhibit was made by the
Escondido Mine Development company.
From its Asmus mine 1t had several
piles showing the gradual change in
the character of the ore from the sur
face to the bottom OF the shaft
1t is estimated that there were 5000
people in town Grape day. One thou

CACTUS RANGE MAKES
SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS
Country Rock Is Highly Mineraiized
Assays from Open Ground and
+ Tale Seams Run $40
Ton

The Cactus Range Gold Mining COM
pany of Goldfield has, according TO a
report just issued by its president
Samuel G. Knott, made good progress
with it's developments.
Early in July a compressor and
pumping plant were installed at the
mine, and work OF sinking q shaft
started. Since that time work has gone
steadily on, and at the present time a
depth of 225 feet has been reached.
The shaft has been thoroughly tim
bered and force of men are cross
cutting northerly and southerly from
the shaft on the 200-foot level.
The sinking of the shaft has taken
longer than and has cost considerable
in excess Of the first anticipatfons, on
account of having encountered much
larger flow OF water than expected. IL
is estimated that after reaching the
17O-foot level, the flow of water in
creased to about aforty-flve gallons q
minute, where not over thirty gallons
were figured on at the start. AS a re-
suit of the Increased flow of water de-
velopment work has been somewhat
arrested and prosecuting was started
at less depth than expected.
All of the country rock through
which the miners have passed is re-
ported to be highly mineralized. In the
open ground and tale seams assays
amounting to $40 ton were obtained
The formation at the present point OF
development shows great disturbance
there being no regular or well defined
starta, but it's general course running
northwesterly and southwesterly: the
formation being highly silicified, car
rying large quantities of iron sulphides
and copper pyrites.
improvements at the mine consist
of building, compressor house and
change room for the workmen, large
barn and cook house at the camp, and
general improvements around the mine
and camp.

PROSPECT0RS RUSH TO
MONO COUNTY DISTRICT
Excitement Runs High Near 5odie.
Strike with Values of $4,000 in
Gold a Ton Is Re.
ported

BODIE, Sept. 13.-Bodie is once more
in the throes of mining excitement
like unto the early days of her discov-
cry. Automobiles and teams of every
description are rushing in here, all
heading for the new strike made west
of this city, near Silver Lake. at the
head of Rush creek, and about thirty
miles from Bodie. A man named Mil
Ter, from Rawhide, who has been here
for some time fishing and prospecting
In this section, broke off some crop
pings from the big dixie that intersects
the mountains and took them to Raw
hide, where he had them assayed, and
the phenomenal values startled the
mining men of that camp. Five auto
mobiles were chartered there to rush
to the new field, but in some manner
the news leaked out and the rush was
augmented by others from Reno, Car
son, Yerington and other points.
About 200 people are now on the
ground and scores are arriving daily.
Every available means of transporta-
ton is being pressed into service by
those who are wildly rushing to the
scene. Parties from Schurz. New, are
here with view of placing a stage
line on between Bodie and the new
strike.
The values in gold run from $4,000
to $4,000 per ton. The strike made by
Miller is on the same mineral belt and
about the same distance from the old
May Lundy mine and the Mammoth
mines, both of which have produced
millions in the past and still have mill
lions blocked out in their workings.
The character of the ore is also very
similar to that of the two mines. From
all indications and the number of Ne
vada mining men arriving it looks as
though the mining boom has been
transferred to Mono county, and this
part of California is attracting the at
tention to which she is justly entitled
The best way to enter the new dis
trict is by way of Hawthorne, whence
stages are operating to Bodie and Sill

Results

A big contract has just been let Dy

operating in the Kelso mining district,
San Bernardino county, for driving a
tunnel to about 500 feet. where It is
considered beyond a doubt by en-
gineers and those interested that the
ledge win be tapped. ]. Carder has
taken the contract and viii work by
the foot, starting at once.
The Lucille mine Is located on the
west slope of the Providence mount
aims, which lie in the eastern end of
the county, the Salt Lake railroad par
alleling them on one side and the Santa
Fe on the other. The mine Is easily
accessible by automobile road from sta
tions on either road. Kelso, on the
Salt Lake road, Is the nearest station,
about eleven miles southwest OF the
mine.
The elevation at the mine is $500 feet.
and with a good climate operations
may be carried on the entire year.
There is plenty of water and a camp
has been established at the bottom of
the range, near the mine.
The property comprises three claims,
extending for 1900 feet along a strongly
mineralized dyke, which Is fifteen feet
wide at the surface. widening gradu-
ally so that at a depth OF seventy-five
feet It is said to be fully three times
as wide. Several hundred dollars have
already been spent in development
work, and the company has $1,000 in its
treasury, which sum is thought suffi-
Gent to continue work to the point of
production.
Site Is Ideal
Situated on a mountain side, the site
is ideal for development by tunnel, and
already the upper tunnel has been
driven to $50 feet. cutting a ledge of
fifty feet without yet reaching the
banking wall. A second tunnel has
ben started at level of about 800 feet
lower. It Is this tunnel in which the
development work just contracted for
viii be done. 1t Is expected that the
ledge Will be cut at depth OF 375 feet,
giving an immense back for stopping,
and permitting mining on a gigantic
scale. A third tunnel may be driven
800 feet farther down from a canyon
and the ore brought out on level with
the camp site.
From the ore dumps good wagon
roads run down grade to Kelso station,
and the mining company has an offer
from the railroad to run switches from
the main line as soon as shipments
warrant it. The ores are free milling
and smelling.
The Lucille mine is being operated by
Los Angeles people. The officers are:
DR.. e. s. Pillsbury, president; Frank
