GRUTT HILL AT RAWHlDE
RECEIVES VELVET DRAFT
EIGHTY TONS RETURN LEAsERs
$24,425
Rawhide Western Railroad Grades
Near Town-Murray, Big Four
and Truett Leases Make
Rich Strikes

The Grutt Hill Mint lease at Raw
hide is receiving returns from the rich
ore sent to mill and smelter, one ship
ment putting the lease on the velvet.
For eighty tons of ore the leasers re-
ceived a draft for $24,425, and from
two bars of bullion, the result of
mill run at the Gates plant, $4,000, a
total of $29025. The shaft is down
to a depth of 176 feet and still in rich
ore.
Both the Murray and the Big -Four
leases on the Consolidated have made
rich strikes. In the Murray a new vein
was encountered on the 200-foot level
of which four feet sampled $52. The
Big Four has four feet of ore that
breaks $140O per ton, and four rect that
mills S233.
The Truett lease Is shipping regu-
larly to the Hazen sampler, and Is
breaking fourteen feet of ore. j.. h
Howard, one of the heavy stockholders
in the Truett, has taken charge of this
lease. This lease has an excellent
chance of locating within its lines
the rich vein of the Grutt Hill Coali-
ton, which is sacking the richest ore
yet mined in the camp.
The RaWhide Western railroad is
now being graded across the Red TOT
mine, in the north end of town. The
depot will be erected somewhere neal
the Northern mine and high line
extended down along Balloon hill tc
the mine and leases.

CLARA CONSOLIDATED
WILL SINK TO DEPTH
VERDE AND CANANEA MAN is
CONTROLLING FACTOR
Within Sixty Days Work VIII Start
on Shaft to Be Sunk to 600
Foot Level-To Build
Plant

YUMA, Aug. SO-George Mitchell,
one of the best known mining men
in the west, and Father A. Queto, both
of Los Angeles, have just returned
from a trip to the properties of the
Clara Consolidated Gold and Copper
company, which include the claims OF
the old Signal, Crown Queen, Clara
and Moro properties recently consoli-
dated into one large concern.
George Mitchell as a smelter man
was interested in the Cananea mines,
and made it a success, and later he
was interester in the Cananea mines,
which added to his wealth as we'll as
to his reputation as an authority on
mines. He was one of the first to
prove that the Cananea deposit was
not a blanket and that it could be
mined to a great profit His associa-
tion with the group of claims recently
incorporated into one company there
fore Is of great moment to that sec
ton of the country.
No great depth las yet been reached
on any of the properties named, though
there are about fifteen shafts from
$50 feet and less which have been
sunk in recent years. What the dis
trict has needed is one mine operated
to a depth which will prove the camp.
With the consolidation recently effect
ed this will be accomplished in the near
future.
Mitchell says that at the Signal they
will sink to the 600-foot level in the
next sixty days. About a million and
a half tons of ore have already been
blocked out and 1t is the intention of
the company to continue the work till
two million and a half are blocked out,
when new plant will be erected. At
present the material is on the ground
for fifteen new houses, a new store
and the steam plant and boilers have
already arrived for more extensive op-
erations.
Mitchell believes that it will make
one of the greatest copper camps in
the territory. He is conservative in
his estimates, but figures that the ore
will run from to per cent in cop
per and from Sc up in gold.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-31
DULzuRA MINES SHOW UP
BETTER ORE WITH DEPTH

SAN DIEGO, Aug. S0.-J. v. Malone,
one of the owners of the Big Tecarte
No. mine, has returned to the city
from a trip OF inspection to the mine
and reports that q large force or men
is engaged in taking out ore. The tun-
mel is being sunk deeper every day,
he says, and the vein is not only grow
ing larger, but the ore Is looking better
with every foot gained.
Malone attended the meeting of min
ers at Dulzura, who had gathered Tor
the purpose of forming a mining dis
trict. Thirty miners were present al
the meeting, but because of some mis-
understanding concerning the federal
law no action was taken and an ad-
iournYnent was taken until tomorrow
Charles Meacham is also an arrival
from Dulzura, which district, he says
is progressing rapidly.
C. r. Wadsworth, who owns seven
claims on Otay mountain. has returned
from a trip of inspection of his prop
erty and Is emphatic over its output
The ledge runs In width from twelve
to twenty feet and he claims produced
ore running from So to SIT per ton, an
average CT SO per ton. He has also
discovered some limonite iron crystals
on the claims which assayed $124.
M. d. G. Putnam of Prescott, Ariz.
q we'll known and successful mining
operator, is in the city on visit and
on inspection of the ore displayed al
the chamber of mines expressed his
surprise at the quality of the ore which
the San Diego county mines yield. He
intends soon to make q thorough in
spection of the county in order to be-
come better acquainted with its min
eral resources.

OLD GOLD SCALES
OF PIONEER DAYS
AGAIN IN SERVICE
Mexican Prospector Throws Down
Precious Dust at ockenden and
Big Grubstake Money Is
Weighed Out

FRESNO, Aug. S0.-The days of AZ
were recalled several days ago when
S. M. Gonzales. a Mexican prospector'
tramped into Defenders private office
and offered phial of the precious gold
dust in exchange for the staff of life.
The old gold scales that had been
taking a vacation since the pioneer
days were called into service to indi-
cate the weight of the precious metal.
After the Mexican had exchanged the
red stuff for grub stake. which made
up all that he could carry over the
trail. he made off for the upper regions
to add a few more ounces to his col
lection. -
Gonzales is placer mining on Ste
phenson creek and working alone. He
is undoubtedly making good. having
extracted enough of the metal to keep
a good supply OF Mexican hot and
other things that look good to a hard
working miner. He claims to be the
forerunner of foreign capital that VIII
fina it's way here if he finds a good
claim.

VICTOR CEMENT BUYS
CLAIMS FOR $4,000

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 3O.-The
group of mining claims forming the
properties being developed by the Vic
tor Portland Cement company have
been decided to that corporation by
Marcus Pluth, John J. Abramson, A.
B. Mulvane and H. j. Walker, con-
sideration being $4,000. with the un-
derstanding that If the company sells
the property the four miners shall
receive an additional 100000.
The agreement which goes with this
transfer gives an indication of the ex-
tensive development work which is to
be undertaken, and that ultimately
Victorville will be the scene of prob
ably the largest cement plant in the
country, the preliminary plant being
of $50 barrels capacity daily.
The cement rock is said to be of the
very highest grade, and it is said that
there is every material on the ground
for the manufacture of excellent ce-
ment without the expense of costly
mining operations elsewhere resorted
to, the Victorville claims from the sur
face down being of the rock required
for cement manufacture.

New Camp Is Buit Upon Graveyard
Of Fair Dreams and Blighted Hopes

some years ago, a county charge. but
up to the day of his death never lost
confidence In the district. He was
positive. that the locality contained
large deposits of the yellow metal,
which prediction seems now to be in a
fair way Of becoming verified.
In the year 1880, while coming down
the mountain looking for horses, Steve
Thomas sat down on rock to rest. Idly
breaking off a piece. he found that 1t
was filled with specks of gold. In COM
pany with Capt. Jim Hendra and Gill
bert Ross he at once located several
claims, in which were included the
Prince Royal, Mayfiower, Lang Syne,
Golden Chariot, now known as Golden
Belle, and the Good Hope.
Many changes took place in the camp
between 1880 and 1908.
The lease and bond OF the American
Finance company expired April 8 of the
present year, and new lease and bond
was taken by Charles HarlOwe, divi-
sion superintendent Of the Western Pa
cifle, and the property was Immediately
taken over by e. s. Chafey and assoc
ciateH.
