RICH ORE is FOUND
IN LIMESTONE CAVES
ASSET TO ANDERSON
APACHE
Arizona Operators Find Ores Are Easy
to Handle When a Cave Is
Encountered in the
Workings

DOUGLAS, Ariz., July Gone of the
most interesting features of the devel-
opment work done in the Anderson
Apache mine IL the past, and at the
same time one that has proved of great
of caves which have been encountered
in numerous places. The caves are in
limestone and it is in these in times
past that the former owners found
their richest ores. They were easy to
handle so that whenever a cave was
encountered it was worked vigorously
and some OF them yielded heavy re-
turns. In one Of these caves it is said
Anderson at one time found a deposit
of copper and silver ore that yielded
him $4,000.
These known facts about the past of
the Anderson-Apache mine are regard
ed as very important by the company
now operating the mine, as formations
have just been encountered in the
crosscut on the 300-foot level which
indicate the presence near by of more
of the rich ore-bearing caves.
The crosscut which L. K. Houlton is
running is now in about eighty feet
from the north drift on the 300-foot
level. They are in about thirty-f1ve
feet of ore and leached material. The
last ore showing, according to the lat
est report, was between six and seven
feet of 10 per cent copper.
The first carload of ore of a large
shipment now being prepared is being
hauled to the station at Hachita. II

TO SEEK LOST VEIN OF
OLD VICTORIA AT Ell ORC
ENGLISH ENGINEER UNDERTAKES
DIFFICULT TASK
Valuable Prospect Is Rendered WORTH
less by Disappearance of Vein at
Most Promising Period
of History

Ell ORC, Mexico, July 26.-The COM
pany recently formed by Fl. H. Simpson
of Ell ORC, backed by English capital
which is arranging to operate the Vic
toria mine, has sent an engineer from
England and an attempt will be made
to find the end of the Dos Estrellas vein
which was once under working at the
Victoria mine, but which was lost by a
fault.
The vein had been worked with every
prospect of success and was showing
good results when 1t suddenly disap-
peared, and so far the company has
been unable to locate it again. A de-
termined effort will be made this time
under the direction of an English ex-
pert, and the company Is sanguine of
success.
The Escubridora is being worked.
Under it's present excellent manage
ment 1t is showing up in good shape
with fine prospects.
This is a property which with de-
velopment should make a paying mine.
At the Esperanzas work Is being
pushed with good results and this COM
pany is now getting ready to install a
mill for the treating of the tailings
dump. A ten-tube mill is now under
course of construction and will be
finished within the next four months.
Generally speaking in all other lines
of business everything Is quiet. From
a real estate and merchants stand
point, there is very little activity, but
the weekly payroll of $4,000 which is
put into circulation by the two camps
of Ell Orc and Tialpujauhua, keeps bus
mess moving and takes the edge off
any financial stringency so far as FL
Orc is concerned.

MANHATTAN MINE TO
RESUME OPERATIONS
ARIZONA PROPERTY SHOWS
GOOD GOLD VALUES
ment Work is Already Done on
Shaft and Tunnels at
Ten Claims

Active work on property owned by
the Manhattan Gold Mining and Mill
ing company in Arizona will be re-
sumed in the near future. The group
of claims is situated in Prima county,
about seventy miles southwest of Tue
son.
Several rich strikes have been made,
assays running strong in gold values.
Over 1000 feet of development work
tunnels. On ten of the twenty-siX
claims average values run from $40 to
$40 ton.
The property was located by H. P.
Greenfield and purchased of him by
the present company. 1t owns about
500 acres situated in the Greenfield dis
trict. The structural geology of the
mineral belt upon which this property
Is located consists of main contact
vein cropping for over a mile and a
number of parallel fissure veins south
of and dipping north toward the con-
tact. The veins of ore are from two to
twenty-five feet wide and consist of
a partially oxidized iron-stained
quartz. The mineral zone covers an
acre of at least fifty miles north and
forty miles south, taking in the well
known Silver Bell district to the north
and reaching far into the interior of
the state of Sonora, Old Mexico. In
immediate vicinity there are now
many properties being opened. To the
east the Ellison camp is installing a
$4,000 plant. To the west is the Out
totoa, owned by Fitch and Weldon.
who are contemplating the building of
a train road to the new Sasco smelter
at Red Rock.
Other mines in this district are the
ORC Blanco, Pima. Peerless Croker,
Young American, Bonanza.
Raphael Pumpella, a mining en-
gineer in the employ of the United
States government as surveyor, who
was with the cavalry at Tucson in the
early sixties, made the following state
ment in his book, Across Two Con-
tinents":
1.-THE Comababi district of Arizona is
the richest gold district in the world. ="
Recent strikes in lower Arizona seem
to prove this statement true. The I'm
perial Copper company, just north of
the Manhattan, has completed the Sas-
co smelter of. 300 tons capacity. Ari-
IONA has always been considered
a copper country, but the gold strikes
being made all over the southern part
of the territory at the present time are
proving 1t to be rich gold as well as
copper region.

special to The Herald.
ESCONDIDO, July 2e.-During the
past week two important events have
taken place in this camp. namely. the
cutting OF the Bottle Peak Vein No. 2
III the lower tunnel and the closing nm
OF z0-year lease on the Asmus prop
TUES py the Escondido Mine Develop
ment company.
For the past three months the Bottle
Peak company has been driving a cross
cut tunnel that would tap its No .
vein at about eighty feet greater depth
than has been before reached. After
digging $50 feet the night shift on
Tuesday night broke through the foot
wall into the vein, and since then has
driven eight more feet.
The foot wall is perfect with a seam
OF tale on 1t, leaving the vein entirely
free from the country rock. The for
nation and foot wall are perfect. there
being not the slightest break or fault
in 1t: The vein matter so far is quartz
porphry with stringers of quartz and
blue tale running through it, all of
which is well mineralized.
1t is believed that the vein at this
point Will be from twelve to fifteen feet
in width. This vein was previously de-
veloped by crosscut tunnel forty feet
long which cut the vein at a depth of
twenty feet. At this point the vein is
stOouI CWSlNS leeI Wlue, -FOUR and a half
feet OF 1t being solid quartz. Surface
cuts have been made at various places
that prove this body of ore to be at
least 500 or 900 feet long.
Are Pleased with Results
1t is useless to say that not only the
Bottle Peak people themselves but
everyone else in this camp who is in
any way interested in mining are happy
over this strike, as they believe that
the veins here not only have depth but.
best of all, the character and the value
of the ore will increase as work pro-
crosses.
The Asmus property has Just been
taken over by the Escondido Mine De-
velopment company and development
work will at once be started and pushed
with energy. The vein on this property
is about ten feet wide and exceptionally
strong. 1t has been previously de-
veloped by a shaft about twenty-five
feet deep. The vein is well defined with
tale on both walls. Cold blooded
sampling OF the shaft gave an average
of between SO and 81.
The values being free gold and sui
phides, the character of the ore is such
that 1t indicates permanency and depth
The opening up of this property puts
three large properties on the working
list in this camp, namely, the CIeve-
land-Pacific, the Bottle Peak and the
Asmus, all of which are being developed
in an intelligent manner. Those hand
ling them have absolute faith in the
properties and believe permanent and
paying mines will be the result of their
efforts.

NEW ORE BODY is STRUCK
IN SHATTUcK ATT 6oo.FooT
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BISBEE, Ariz., July 26.-The Warren
district continues the even pace of its
way producing and shipping the usual
amount of ore from week to week. The
pays the past week of both the Copper
Queen and the Calumet and Arizona
companies were larger, it is said, than
they have been for couple of months
previous, and taken on the whole there
is a much brighter outlook.
The Shattuck during the week struck
a new ore body at the 500 level. just
what 1t will develop of course cannot
at this time be stated. Most of the
ore that has been produced from the
Shattuck heretofore has been from the
700 and 500 levels. The new body I'M
covered will be developed and undoupt--
edly will add materially to the capacity
of the mine. At the time the Shattuck
quit shipping to the smelter their out
put was 400 tons a day.

After Years Of Search Through West
Lost Cabin Mine Is Found in Oregon

Harvey. Then he showed me rough
map and asked whether had ever seen
any old workings l had not, and told
him so. He told me then the story of
the Lost Cabin and said it lay between
two lakes in bald hills. He explained
that he had never been able to locate It,
my brother was better acquainted
with the region than L was, for he
had driven after horses there, while
had always taken the route to the
northeast, because I knew it we'll
asked him about it. After some time
my brother told me he knew of the
workings the man at Ashland had re-
ferred to, and we took up claims there.
The ore is precisely the same as that
from Goldfield and we are sure that
this is the Lost Cabin mine and that
it is on the great stretch of ore-bear-
ing ground that extends from Bull
frog northwest. The location is be-
tween Goose lake and Warren's lake,
and the bald hills exactly fit the de-
scription."
LOTUS speaks in the highest terms
of the prospects of Goldrun. He has
large interests in Fresno county and
was one of the original discoveries of
the Coalinga oil fields there. His fam
lily resides in Fresno.

LAKE OF OIL IN VERA

Careless Workmen Accidentally Ignite
Well and Underground Res
ervoir-Terrific Explo-
sion Results

A lake of oil covering an area of
more than one square mile and of I'M
known depth, in the state of Vera
Cruz, is on fire. 1t has been burning
for five days and has created the Wild
est terror among the natives of that
section. The blaze is seen for more
than 200 miles at sea, according to
navigattors who have arrived at Vera
Cruz and Tampico.
The scene of the fire is about seven
ty-five miles southeast of Tampico,
near the San Geronimo river It is re-
mote from any railroad. An oil field
was being developed at the place by
the Pennsylvania Oil company, which
is composed of Pittsburg men. The
company had bored number of wells
and all of them were flowing oil in
large quantities. The product was be-
ing placed in earthen storage tanks
preparatory to shipping.
A careless workman accidentally set
fire to one of the wells and the flames
were communicated to the under
ground reservoir of oil A terrific ex-
plosion occurred which uplifted the
earth's surface throughout the whole
field.
The explosion was heard for. seventy
five miles. The oil company will lose
all its valuable machinery, and, to-
gether with the loss of the oil, the total
financial loss will reach into the mil
lions.

.RADAMACHER TO BE
A GREAT DISTRICT
CLAIM H0GGING PROBLEM IS
BEING OVERCOME
Lack of Water for Milling Purposes
viii Be SuppIanted with. an
Abundance Through Mod
ern Methods

Engineer C. A. Churchill has just
made tour of the Radamacher min
ing district and reports that the dis
trict will surely prove a great mining
center.
In the southeast township of the
Radamacher mining district, Kern
county, about a dozen miles north of
Randsburg, a general revival of min
ing interest is in progress. Numerous
prospectors have been actively search
ing the district for open ground for
locations.
The entire district has been for many
years heavily handicapped and it's des-
tiny retarded by two forces or causes,
each operating to check all material
development and advancement in this
splendidly mineraliZed area. Happily,
today each factor is rapidly being
eliminated and the long locked-up
wealth of mineral will be open TO capi-
tai and to labor.
For years a few individuals have
held every promising vein outcrop and
it is charged that as many as two hum
bred claims have been held by single
person The stringent local mining
laws are rapidly correcting this evil.
The second cause, a natural one, has
been the greater incubus and that has
been the total lack of water for mill
ing use. Today, through the enterprise
of c. L. Best of San Leandro and the
energy of his superintendent, F. w.
McCue, this district has an ample wa
ter supply and fine quartz mill OF
thirty tons capacity.
Is Gravity Flow
The water is a gravity flow from the
long tunnel, four miles distant from
he mil in hiOhpr a n
was developed by these men solely for
the purpose of obtaining this fine wa
ter supply.
The mill is completed and fine one
from mechanical point of view. 1t is
a stamp mill and arastra combined,
with a latest improved Gates concen-
traitor of great capacity. The miners
and prospectors have been promised
the privilege of sampling their ores at
this mill, which is in charge of Charles
Buck, an able and esteemed mill man.
The mine for which this mill was
erected is the Gold Bug property, re-
Gently acquired by C.. L. Best; it is
developed by a S06-foot shaft, with
levels run each fifty feet, the slopes
going to the surface and showing vary
ing width of ore body from one to
eight feet. Very little timbering was
done in this mine, the ground standing
very finely-pillars of ore remaining
where timbering would be required.
There is no record obtainable of this
fine property, the former lessee having
transported all of the ore out of the
district for treatment and at a heavy
expense.
The Southern Pacific railroad is now
rapidly building across the district, di-
agonally crossing southeast to north
west to the base of the east flank of
the Sierra Nevadas, sixteen miles dis
tant, to the line of the Los Angeles
aqueduct. Both power and water have
been promised this region by the aque-
duct engineers. Time will give them
an opportunity to furnish it.
The naturalization in this new yet
old district is extensive; the vein sys-
tenn is not apparently a complex one.
The main ore bodies are fissure veins.
