 Machinery is enroute, some already oh the ground, for a 250 ton mill to be erected on the Irene group the scene of the companys first operations Water will be pumped from a well near town through pipe line (already laid) 6I5 miles in length to the new mill. At the pumping plant and well, | testing plant has been erected to be used as d custom mill. The plant con- sists of a Dodge crusher, Williams crusher, elevator carrying ore to a

 Dr. Hennig and his associates own a number of quartz prospects in addi ton to the placers.
 w. H. Spangle is one of the sue cessful individual placer operators here; he reports the finding of a rich gulch in the vicinity of "Picacho" eight miles east of Quartzsite, about two miles from Dripping Spring. The first days work after discovery gave a clean up of $6 and Mir Spangle brought in over $50 in gold dust the result of less than a months work This section of the district is credited with thousands of dollars of silver lead ore, smelted in early days by Mexicans; some of the crude smelters are still in existence. While working this particular gulch Mir, Spangle has saved over one thousand pounds of lead with silver values of over $6O per ton
 Stout X Anderson. (Me and the Kid) have been partners in prospecting for placers for over twenty years. Sweat box bar in La Chollas section is where they are now located. Ten years ago they first discovered these diggings. They are successful placer miners. owners of property in Quartzsite, i'm proved with a good adobe building, where they make their home when not l in the hills.
 The great need in this section is a dry cOncentrator capable of handling large par diem tonnage, at minimum l expense. The character of the gold bearing gravel differs greatly, some has much slate, some is granite, other places, composed of quartzsite pebbles. All of it must go through a crushing process.
 The district has been handicapped by the fact that certain companies ! owning vast placer acreage are oh structionists, hindering the advertising of the district and devoting consider able energy to giving the mining world at large the idea they are in full con | trol; that there is no room for others. The citizens of the community are be- ginning to realize the situation, hold ing a meeting a few weeks ago and appointing a committee to consider an | advertising policy
 It is fact that a full assessure ent is rarely done by some of the companies investigation having shown that one corlpany did its annual wCr!. for 1906 by sinking a pit on each 160 acre claim, by 10 feet and f feet in depth. paying for each pit s2O cash and $S9 in company stock, calling it S10G worth of work. People doing this kinI of work are constantly watching the small holder and locating his claim if he fails to do a full assessment. The mineral is here, ore in placers | and ore in place; inquirers are many property owners are waking up and a short time will see capital coming in 1 looking for investments.
