Much Neglected Section Of West Re-
ceives Fresh Impetus from
Railroad Building.

Since the early days Of railroad build
California which lies at the eastern
base of the Sierra Nevada mountains,
and is always considered as geographic
ally belonging to the same territory,
the California county named 1nyo, has
been regarded by those having reason
to know its resources, as section des-
tined at some future time TO add much
to the wealth of the west, not only IN
the matter of it's agricultural products,
but by its mineral wealth
SO far the history OF this section has
contained little but promise of the fu
ture. because there has been no means
of getting its products to a market ana
although it has been an almost steady
producer OF gold almost since tie hrst
settlers battled with nature and hostile
Indians for an existence, little atten-
ton has been paid to it by capital for
the reason that there We're no practical
means of marketing the products IN
competition with more favored dis
tricts. This condition seems in tar
way to be overcome at last. owing TO
the building of railroads, and the news
OF fresh discoveries has become mat
ter of more interest.
Prospective locators have been active
of late, the goal being a hitherto neg
lected section of the White Mountains,
across the summit from ColdWater
| canyon. northeast of Bishop. The dis
covery was made by y. G. Adamson,
who obtained an average assay OF a
few cents over s547 per ton from 80
pounds of float picked up on a 3-foot
ledge over Il distance of 40 feet In
length. says the Inyo Register, This
startling richness led to the immediate
location of two claims on the ledge. one
Of which. owned by Mr.. Adamson and
John Beauregard, Is named the Golden
Siren: the other, adjoining it of Lunn,
Vernon Jenkins and w. w. Watterson,
Is christened the Hazel Belle. Since
| then many prospectors have gone to the
scene and important developments may
| be expected in the vicinity. The ledge
| is covered with an iron Gaping. The
| ledge matter is decomposed quartz,
! and all its values are in gold, 80 far as
| shown by the float mentioned. 1t Is
! traccable for fully three miles, and
| along it's course there may be more
! than one bonanza waiting for the drill
! and pick. 1t is between granite and
| lime walls
The location is across the White
| Mountain summit from ColdWater can
| Won. a little south of an easterly line,
! and a mile and a quarter from the
| canyons head. Mr.. Lunn, who has re-
| Gently gone over the ground pretty
| Thoroughly, says 1t has been unpros-
nected not hole deeper than two feet
being found within several miles on
| the slope. The situationEis on low
hill Wood and water are conveniently
| near at hand.
Many specimens of ore brought in
| have been well sprinltled with gold. or
| the dozen or so of assays made. the
! lowest was in the vicinity of 5000 and
the highest about 5000. They were from
! a territory four miles long. Many local
| people have gone to the scene. One Of
| the best posted among local mining
men says that IL half of the reports he
| gets are true the discovery is the big
gest proposition ever found in that re-
