MEXICAN MINING LAWS
NOT TO SCARE CAPITAL
Governor Creel Says They VIII Not
Be of a Character 70 Be Dan.
gerous to American
Investors

When asked at his home in Chihu-
hue regarding the proposed anti-for-
eign mining laws, Mr. Creei said in
substance to the Chihuahua Enter
prise: II think the matter will be
studied long and carefully and that
there will be no law passed by the
federal government which will antag-
onize or discourage foreign capital In
Mexican Mines
Governor Creels expression on this
subject will go far to renew confidence
of foreign capital, which there is no
denying is badly frightened. He per-
haps more than any other one man In
Mexico knows the nature and temper
Of mining capital, and he does not
deny that the new law forbidding
foreign corporations to acquire mining
properties in this country Will have q
detrimental effect on the industry.
AS has been stated the matter OF the
new laws is now in the hands OF Presi-
dent Diaz. He can by decree make
already granted him or he can leave 1t
alone The matter has already come
up for discussion in the cabinet. but as
there are 157 articles 1t will take a long
time to discuss them. all. 1t will be
remembered that commission pre-
pared and recommended the new min.
ing law but there is reason to believe
that the anti-foreifn clauses were
added afterward. In this connection 1t
is significant that two members of the
first commission (there were really
two). Lie. Luis Requena and Luis Ro-
dolfo Reyes are openly opposing the
anti foreign clause in the new meas
ure. 1t appears that Oligairo Molina,
secretary of fomento. is the father of
it, At least the anti-foreign clauses
were never heard of by the public un-
til he sent draft of the new law to
the chamber of mines for discussion.

JACKASS HILL YIELDS
RICH NUGGETS OF GOLD

SONORA, June 2S.-If Mark Twain
was to drop into Harry McCandless'
place this afternoon and see the yell
low buttons Harry has from the prop
erty on Jackass Hill, owned by NC
Candless and Gillis, he would wish he
had remained right here and never
wrote a book.
Think of $50 from four pounds of ore
and $12O from a lard bucket of ore. Not
a big lard bucket, either, just an ordi-
nary grocery store can such as your
wife buys when she hasn't but 80 cents
to spend on grease.
According to Mr. McCandless. the
boys have it bigger than anybody:
They do not take 1t out in chunks, all
same OHara, but it comes thick, like
mustary seed shot from gun when
fellow is shopping around melon
patch.
Recently a lot of ore was encoun-
tered which, while 1t does not show
free gold in quantity, is essentially
rich. No one will know how rich until
assays are made. But the property is
more than promising and -fcCandless
is delighted.

ORD MOUNTAIN HAS
RICH GOLD VALUES
CLOSE CORPORATION TO PUT
IN MILL
Shaft Dscloses Continuous High
Grade and the Mine Is to Be
Made a Producer at
Once

The Ord mountain country is one of
the most wonderful and resourceful
countries adjacent to Los Angeles.
California has many rich mining
propositions, but few of them excel
Hasson Bros. property twelve miles
south of the town of Daggett in the
Ord mountains.
The shaft on their mine is down $50
feet in ore. Strike after strike has
been made and ore that shows up
fabulously rich in the assays has been
taken out. The Hasson brothers own
eight claims and on all of them are
distinct and well-defined ledges of
quartz running high in gold values.
The Hasson brothers are men of high
standing. They have rich mine with
nearly a quarter of a mile of cross
cutting, drifting and stopping done.
They are taking out ore from the vast
treasurehouse of Ord mountain. Their
assays run all the way from $12 to
$4,000. The average by carload lots
will run better than $32 a ton. The
lodges are four in number that are
known and all bear high-grade gold
values. The ore is shipped to the Pey-
ton Chemical company at Peyton.
The Hasson brothers have a fine
hoist, an air compressor and are about
to erect a ten-stamp mill. Part of the
machinery is on the ground. Before
many daysli it will be in running order.
This mine, the Ord Mountain Gold
company by name. is a mine. 1t is
not a prospect any longer. Two shifts
of men have been working all through
the so-called panicky times without
stopping.
Besides this the ore is in the mine
blocked out and ready to be run
through the new stamp mill as soon as
it is in operation. George L. Hasson,
president of the company, left for the
mines Saturday morning to inspect the
progress of the work and see to the
erection of the stamp mill and other
machinery

REFUSE $40 A SHARE

Parker and Lockhart Deny Rumors Of

GOLDFIELD, June 2S.-Despite the
disturbing rumors of impending liti-
CATION and apex disputes between the
Consolidated and Florence companies.
which apparently emanate from san
Francisco, the best informed men in
Goldfield place no reliance whatever In
rumors of this character, and they
have had no influence on the market
locally or in San Francisco.
- Thomas G. Lockhart and A. ID.
Parker We're interviewed and reiterated
emphatically their assertions regard
ing the status of the Florence COM
parry A persistent report has been
going the rounds to the effect that Mr..
Parker has been giving serious con-
sideration to negotiations contemplat-
ing the sale of his Florence stock at So
per share. This was denied by Mr..
Parker, who declares that his stock is
not for sale, and confirms Mr., Lock-
hart in all that he says regarding their
relations.
Speaking of these rumors. Mr.. Lock-
hart said last night, when shown a re-
port that the Florence stock had been
offered at SO: Three million dollars
would not make more than first pay
ment for Florence, and then it would
require two more, and better payments
at that. Mr.. Parker and l have in our
possession b3U,OUU SndreS OF tne StOCh,
for which we have been offered $40 per
share, and we do not intend to sell.
Both Mr.. Parker and l have had offers
made to us for our individual holdings,
the evident intention being to secure
control by separating our interests. but
we are not to be divided. You could
not separate us with a steel wedge.
Our association has been too long and
the friendship which has bound us to-
gether is of too lasting a character for
our interests to become divided.
1T is still too early TO say anything
at present about a dividend. Mr.. Par
ker and l are conducting a thorough
overhauling of the financial condition
of the company, and before anything
definite can be determined upon we
must know the exact state of our
finances for the future We are build
ing an expensive mill: have completed
at heavy cost water supply system,
and shall have use for a considerable
amount of money, and while our treas
ury is in excellent shape, We do not
wish, above all things. to pass a
dividend; yet we are as yet unpre-
pared to announce a decision in this
matter, but shall probably know defin-
itely what our plans are to be before
the end of the week."

FIND RICH ORE ON
BANKS OF COTTONWOOD

BAKERSFIELD, June 2S.-Clarence
Allen and others who are in town from
the mountains are telling of a rich
gold strike that was made by the Paeh-
lib boys and a companion along the
Cottonwood creek on the south site of
the Piute last week. The miners were
working an abandoned prospect hole
which had been filled in and came
onto a rich ribbon ledge. Samples of
the ore were taken to the Piute and
Amalie districts and mining men in
that region spoke very favorably of
the ore, some venturihg the opinion
that it would run as high as $10o a
ton.
The discoverers of the rich deposit
are naturally elated with their find
and are taking steps to determine the
extent of the ledge. From all appear
ances the prospect hole had been
abandoned for some little time.

been running in a very satisfactory
manner and it is only a matter of a
short time when Mr.. Karns and his
associates will begin to realize good
returns on their investment.
The mill has a capacity of seventy
tons per day, producing a concentrate
of 500 ounces of silver and per cent
copper. In connection with the con-
centrators will be used five Pierce al
magamators for the amalgamation OF
the native silver which exists In the big
ore dumps and mine.
1t is said that La Mejia has many
peculiarities not found in any other
mine In the southwest, there being Alb
solutely no mineral other than silver

carrying thousands of dollars to the ton
in gold, was found Saturday on the
Eberhart mine in the Walker district
