NEW FINDS AND OLD MINES INTEREST THE MINERAL WORLD
kENOStA MINE IN GRASS VALLEY REGION PRODUCES ORE
THAT SHOWS VALUES IN GOLD UP TO 100000 A TON

is remarkable that there is still unde-
veloped and UNEMPLOYED country in that
vicinity that is not even located. both
north and south, and there are stDl
any number of claims that could be
bonded for reasonable sums and which
could be worked by prospectors with
out any great amount of money.
A remarkable incident which goes
to show the value of the ore in the
Kenosha was the panning of one show
elful of dirt yesterday in the presence
of DR.. Pugh, the secretary of the COM
pany, who is paying a short visit to
the coast. After the coarse dirt had
been washed away there was at least
twenty-five dollars in gold in the pan:
There seems to be large quantity OF
ore uncovered in the mine that will
pay at least fifty dollars per ton.
Superintendent Root is naturally de-
lighted with the find, and he will con-
tinue the drift in addition to explor-
ing the mine farther down. 1t Is his
opinion that the lodges, which are Wild
ening out from the top, will converge
and make one large ledge farther
down. He looks for a continuous pay
shoot after he has sunk short dis
tonca farther.

BOTTLE PEAK STRIKE
EXCITES ESC0NDIDO

SAN DIEGO, May 24.-Word was re-
ceived yesterday of new strike on the
Bottle Peak mine at Escondido FRIDAY
evening, which from present fndica-
tions, will eclipse any strike that has
been made since the opening up of the
Escondido district. The ore was found
in a quartz formation at a distance of
II feet and is exactly similar to the
quality of ore found at a distance OF
81 feet which assayed as high as
$103.17.
If the new strike runs that high in
assay. and there is every probability
that it will, it will be one of the rich
est strikes yet made, as the formation
is in an unusually large vein, and any
amount of 1t is in sight. The ore will
probably be assayed today or tomorrow
and the greatest excitement prevails
at Escondido over the strike.
1t is claimed that all of the shafts
being sunk in that district are grow
ing richer with depth, and it is an
nounced that three shifts of men will
now be put to work on the Bottle Peak
claim, and that it will be developed as
rapidly as possible.
President Granville of the Bottle
Peak company is expected to arrive in
the city today, when he will make ar
rangements for buying trackage, cars
and other equipment, which the prop
erty is now said to be in need of. as
result of the great amount of work
that has been done upon 1t during the
past two weeks.

WEST EXTENSION STRIKE
SHOWS VALUE OF $1o58

RHYOLITE, May 24.--A two-foot
sample, taken by Len p. McGarry
Monday, and assayed by Charles
Glines yesterday gave returns of $685.
In gold and s62.10 in silver, or a total
of $105S.1o.
The sample was taken from one of
the best showings in the West Extern
sion property in raise above the 150-
foot level which is the deepest point
at which the rich green streak has
been exposed in the mine.
There is quite a unique sight in
store for the visitor at the West Ex-
tension. provided Mr.. McGarry sees
fit to show him this bonanza spot.
With a candle one may see clusters
and strings of free gold associated
with hornsilver. the very rich streak
being perhaps eight inches in width, In
large streak of excellent ore.
A large specimen from this spot was
brought down Saturday and taken to
Los Angeles Monday evening by Judge
Hoggatt, who makes 1t a point to take
some splendid specimens of West Ex-
tension ore with him every time he
visits Los Angeles or San Francisco.
The ore was Shattered" with gold.
Lateral work in the mine is being
continued with very encouraging re-
suits Some of the best average values
in the property have been opened at
the deepest point, and every foot OF
work brings more encouragement

was worked by the Taylors. old resi-
dents, and they ran a drift north about
eighty feet. Then they abandoned 1t
and turned their attention elsewhere.
Mr.. Root decided to prospect the lever
a little farther. and he had gone about
twenty feet when the gold that was
brought to town this morning was en-
countered. The ledge from which the
specimen ore was taken is about six
teen inches between the wells, and is
highly mineralized. 1t carries galena
and black jack, excellent indications
that the values will continue, and
which assures them of good milling
rock, even where gold HAY not be seen.
This find was made within a short
distance of the Riley shaft. where
$3.50, 900 was taken out within very
short space of time, and it is believed
by many mining men to be continual
ton of that shoot of ore.
Mr.. Root is running his drifts to-
ward the spot where the Rileys left
off working, and between the kenosha
shaft and the Riley shaft there Is vir-
gin ground for several hundred feet.
This goes through a rich country that
promises we'll for the owners of the
Kenosha and the adjoining mines. 1t

EXPANSION COMPANY
HAS PROMISING MINE
PUTTING IN MACHINERY FOR
ORE TREATMENT
Has Fine Claims on the Big Contact
Belt, and Values Run from
Six Dollars to the
Hundreds

The Expansion Mining company, To-
Gated near Kingman, Mohave county,
Ariz, is quietly forging ahead. The
company owns four claims. three or
them on the big contact belt. The work
is all tunnel work, and crosscuts the
ledge over S54 feet below the surface.
Quite a force of men is at work, and
the company is getting ready to put In
a Richards rapid economy stamp mill.
This mill has a guaranteed capacity OF
six tons to the stamp In hard ore. Z. J.
Callahan of Los Angeles Is the engineer
in charge of the extensive work that Is
being done. He returns there In June
to install the plant. Mr.. Callahan
judgment and care have saved the COM
pany many hundred dollars. The COM
pany has ledge over eighty-one feet
wide Of gold ore, running all the way
from Sc up into the hundreds. The
proposition, however, Is mainly a low
grade ore, but 1t is immense, as the
ore bodies are vast enough to keep
50-stamp mill pounding for century
In addition to Mr.. Callahan's examina-
ton of this property 1t was examined
by Prof. Schrader of the United States
geological survey. He pronounced the
property even better than Mr.. Gala
han. The company is an Arizona cor
poration we'll Differed. c. ]. Hutchin-
son is the general manager, and he
speaks very kindly of his mine and the
country. The mine is about four miles
north of the famous Gold Roads mine
and several others of prominence. Gold
Flats is not far away to the south.
The surveys have all been made by
the engineer, Mr.. Callahan, for water,
mill site, tracks and everything con-
nected with the proposition. The ore
bodies have cut across twice at dis
lance of more than thousand feet

TWENTY-FOUR FEET OF $50
ORE IN KEANE WONDER
Cold-BIooded Sampllng OF Ledge
Shows This Exciting Result.
Another Rich Gold
Brick

RHYOLITE, May 24.-Twenty-four
feet of $50 ore is the latest sensation
from the Keane Wonder mine.
The information was brought to
Rhyolite yesterday by Homer Wilson,
manager of the property. Mr.. Wilson
declares that cold blooded sampling
of the ledge, which is twe.:y-four feet
thick. returned values of $50 to the
ton in gold.
Neither Mr.. Wilson nor his mill
superintendent, W. H. Craigue. could
believe fully that the vein would sam
pie such a high average, and MI Will
son made a personal inspection of the
workings early Monday morning. and
satisfied himself by panning that the
values are there.
This is the most remarkable showing
ever made in this wonderful mine,
which has thousands of tons of excel
lent ore in sight. The new ore body,
from which these magnificent values
are obtained, lies below what has been
supposed to be the footwall OF the
original ledge.
Mr.. Wilson brought in a 300-ounce
gold brick yesterday, worth $4,000. The
mill has been in commission only
seven and three-tenths days during
Nav. owing to lack of water supply.
The bullion output should have been
doubled The last of the pipe was
hauled out yesterday from Rhyol1te,
so that the mill will be up to full
capacity within a few days.
This is the second gold brick TO be
brought in this month, Mr.. Wilson
having shipped a $4,000 brick May {.

RAWtIDE BOASTS WORLDS BEST STRIKE;
KEARNS LEASE ORE CONTENT OF $500, 900

record impossible to surpass, practically
impossible to parallel
The discovery of this nerve-thrilling
deposit was made in the northeast drift
at the sixty-five-foot level, about TWEEN
ty feet in from the shaft. The gold
band section lies along the footwall of
q ledge which is six feet wide and
which carries three feet of exception
ally high grade ore. Incredible as 1T
seems, this record breaking streak is
maintaining it's values and an average
width of one inch as the drift is ex-
tended. To state that such wealth of
gold would prevail for any distance in
a ledge would place one under suspi-
cion of being fool OF a liar. yet 1t is
within the memory of man when the
silver glories of the Comstock were con-
sidered by the many as being more or
less a myth. The public scoffed at the
pretensions of the Isabella until that
famous Cripple Creek mine sent its
s180,OOO ore shipment The self-same
skeptical public derided and belittled
the worth of the Mohawk until smelter
settlements for ore shipments compelled
it to acknowledge that Goldfeld prodigy
to be the gold bonanza of all gold boz
nanzas Further development of the
field on lease No. 2 of the Queen estate
may force the public to ccncede 1t the
greatest wonder of the mining world.

CANANEA SHELTERS TO
RESUME NEXT MONTH
Or. Ricketts, VIII Not Fix Date, but
Says Expectation Is for
Early Opening in
Month

DOUGLASS, May 24.-It is stated
upon reliable authority that the smelt-
ers of the Cananea Consolidated Cop
per company at Cananea will be blown
in during the month of June, probably
near the first of the month.
The repairs and enlargement OF the
furnaces which have been going on for
several months past will be completed
and the shelters ready for operation
by June /, and, according to the re-
port, the smelters will resume opera
lions as soon as these furnaces are
ready for work.
The resumption at Cananea will
mean a great deal of work for the
district and for the country as 1t Will
mean restored feeling of confidence
upon the part of the interests behind
this company and a belief in better
prices in the near future for the
metals.
These furnaces have been without
fire for several months and the start
ing up of the smelters will be a source
of qualification to the entire mining
section of the public.
DR.. l.. d. Ricketts,, president of the
Cananea Consolidated Copper COM
pany. who is at present in the city,
was asked to confirm the report as to
the resumption of operations at Ca
nanea, and stated that while he did
not care to state positively that work
would be resumed at the smelters June
it was his expression at this
time that operations would be again
commenced some time during June.

MINERAL CLAIMS BEFORE
HOMESTEAD, SAYS COURT

TOMBSTONE, May 24.-In the con-
test Of Antonio Trojanovich and John
Cramer mineral claimants, and b.
Bracca, claimant under homestead en-
try, for a parcel of land lying just out
side the city limits of Globe, the United
States land Office at Phoenix decided
Saturday in favor of Trojanovich and
Cramer the mineral claimants.
The decision is an important one, as
there are a large number of similar
cases pending in the land office which
the decision just rendered will doubt
less affect.
The lands value for mineral pur-
poses as against the adaptability to
agricultural purposes was the bone of
contention before the land office. The
hearing was set for March 16, at which
Cramer and Trojanovich were repre-
sented by their attorneys. Rawlins &
Little, who were yesterday informed of
the finding of the land office.
Bracca contended that he would make
the land available for farming by a
system of terracing.
The property has long been regarded
as among the most promising posi-
bilities in that immediate section. AT
one time a $4,000 option was allowed
to lapse because of the litigation grow
ing out Of the homestead entry.
