PALMS DISTRICT
RICH WITH GOLD
SPECIMENS APPEAR TO BE
HALF ORE
STAMP MILLS WILL SOON BE IN
COURSE OF ERECTION
Examinations by Prominent Mining
Men. Give Evidence That Rich
Deposits VIII Last with
Increasing Depth

The Twenty-Five Palms district Is
attracting wide attention, If judged
from the reports received from every
quarter. Some specimens from the
Italie mine appear to be half gold. AS
says on rock from the other mines IN
the district show fabulous richness.
Concerning the Italie property, the
man to whom most credit is due is its
president, A. Arthur Phipps, Pitts
burg millionaire, now occupying a
sumptuous suite at the Van Nuys. He
is a shrewd and thorough mining man.
While others have guessed and pre-
dicted, Phipps has practically known OF
the great wealth of the Twenty-nlne
Palms country for a long time. II. M.
Warduell is the engineer and general
manager and Edmund Mitchell, a
prominent newspaper correspondent,
second vice president of the company
A number of prominent Los Angeles
men are on the directorate.
The product of the Italie is Won
der, reading like tale from the Arab
| ian Nights, yet ii is all true, If judged
| from the reports from reliable sources
Before many weeks elapse stamp
| mill will be in process of erection al
| Twenty-Five Palms.
| Howard Throgmerton, an eminent
mining engineer of New York, has eX-
amined the Italie ore and speaks hlghly
of it. He represents Gates & Co., and
will investigate the Palms country with
a view to investing there. He is re-
por cd as saying that the Italie ore IN
dicates permanence and a strong for
nation.
CIawson Pleased with Ore
Another man who speaks highly OF
the Palms is S. w. Clawson, VINO tol
twenty-three years was superintendent
| 81, 60 Onpnn
Bisbee. jeremiah Mahoney, a Denver
engineer, is also high in praise of the
ore from the Italie. He says:
II have examined many gold proper
ties and have seen the ore from the
Itale mine. 1t is the kindliest and
gives great evidence of lasting to
depth"
Another gigantic corporation in the
Palms country is the Gold Park Con-
solidated mine. This concern is headed
by w. E. Whine, formerly a district
Judge in Nevada. The Gold Park Con-
solidated has fifty-two claims. or more
than 1000 acres of land at the Palms
Several strikes have been made, run
| ming from $500 to $4,000 ton. Little Il
any, of its stock is for sale.
The veins on the Boss and Atlantic
of the Gold Park are widening. They
are down on the Boss now about lOl
| feet. The dip of this vein for sixty fee'
was to the east, but beyond that point
it has twisted over and the pitch is
| toward the west. This now makes the
hanging wall of the vein the foot wall
Indications are Frightening and with
depth, it is said, there will be some
thing doing that will be surprising.
The Atlantic. on which $1,000 ore was
found, is reported as holding up strong
ly. This ledge is wide. the pay streak
measuring about a foot and half and
widening as the shaft goes down.
The work of building a ten-stamp
mill will be commenced within the next
thirty DAYS at the Gold Park. Water
will be piped there from the wells,
seven miles away and pumping plant
will be in operation before long. All
the ore now being saved is of very
high grade.
