NEW YORK SYNDICATE
TAKES OPTION ON HERO
Properties of the Hero Nevada Conn
pany Interest Investors and
Sixty Day Option Is
the Result

SEVEN TROUGHS, May Sit is
reliability that a syndicate of New
York mining men and capitalists have
just secured sixty day option OH
81 per cent of the stock of the Hero
Nevada Mines company, operating the
Little Hero and the Wildcat proper
ties in the northern end of the Seven
Troughs district, near the town of
Farrell. The exact figure at which the
option was secured could not be ascer-
tained, but it is understood that the
amount involved runs high in the
thousands of dollars.
1t is further understood that an ex-
animation of the properties will be
made in the near future, and that fur
ther development work on the ore
bodies already opened up on the ground
will be done before the option is taken
up. While the identity of the parties
who have secured the option are not
known, it is learned that they have
ample means and will thoroughly
equip the property with machinery
and push its further development with
all possible vigor if the deal goes
through.
1t is further learned that the Off
cials of the company, in consequence
of the many applications from local
and Salt Lake people, have decided to
let leases on the ground. The COM
pany intends to reserve 400 feet by the
width of a claim on each side of the
workings of the Little Hero and Wild
cat claims Outside of this territory
all the grounds of the three claims
of the company will be given over to
leasers. In view OF the great mineral
wealth of the group 1t is safe to say
that leasers will be as busy as bees
on the Hero ground before another
ten days.

Champion Properties, Which Have
Produced Over Twenty-Five
Millions, Now Under
New Bond

NEVADA CITY, May 3.-The Cham
pion mines at this city, which are
among the largest and most reliable
producers in the state, and the Delhi,
st. Gothard and adjoining mines at
Columbia Hill. which also have pro-
duced large quantities of high-grade
ore, have been bonded by Charles
Monnemann of San Francisco and his
associates to H. G. Terrence, who is
an expert for a syndicate of English
capitalists; John Ross jr. of the Ma
honey-Wildman mines of Sutter creek
and leading expert of California, and
M. T. Farrar of San Francisco. a
stockholder in the Mountaineer mine
of Nevada City.
Mr.. Ross will soon leave for England
to lay the proposition in detail before
the capitalists there.
The Champion comprises one of the
biggest groups of mines in California.
1t has a surface area of reveral hun
dred acres and includes such well
known mines as the, Champion, Provi-
dence, Merrifield, Wyoming, Nevada
City, Spanish, Home and other mines.
These mines, during the time they
have been worked, have produced in
excess of $22,0O0,O 900, and are consid-

EMPIRE COPPER'S
STEADY PROGRESS

Months and Is Making
Ready for Ore Ship
ments

H. II. Morrow, secretary and treas
urer of the Empire Copper and Cole
Mining company, has returned from the
mines which are located in the John-
son district, Cochise county, Ariz
Many of the stockholders of this CON-
pany reside in Los Angeles and they
will be glad to know that progressive
work is being done.
The main shaft, Mr.. Morrow reports
is now down 1856 feet and they have
struck water. This means that sui
phide copper ore will soon be mined.
The Empire is a first-class PROPOSE
ton with wide lodges producing in
every part high grade copper and gold
The mine is handled right from top to
bottom and in all it's parts. The ma
chinery, buildings and other properties
of the mine are modern and first class.
The Empire is the only mine in this
big district that has not felt the ef-
fects of the so-called hard times. 1t
has run day and night through it all,
owes no man a dollar and is taking
out ore. This company is the only one
operating in the Johnson camp that
has weathered the financial storm
without closing down.
At the 400-foot level the manage
ment will cross-cut on the big ledge,
and immense masses of ore are in
sight. Thus far over 1000 feet of eff
fective work has been done. The ore
being taken out will go to smelter
and returns will soon be coming in.
Eminent mining engineers are predict
ing that the Empire will be a second

for a paying investment when his at
tention is called to it.
Taylor was enthusiastic about the
Parker and Bouse countries. He could
not say enough for them. Better than
Searchlight or Goldtield," he declared
with enthusiasm. Between Wicken-
burg and Parker there is more good
mineral ground than 1 ever saw be-
fore i'll all my travels put together
was his further verdict. He wouldn't
be quoted as saying the Clara peo-
pie intended to put up smelter, but
he did say that the Clara and sur
rounding properties had enough ore in
sight to guarantee an abundant ore
supply for a 300-ton plant.
John r. Parker is one Of the men at
Bouse who has a magnificent group
of claims but lacks ready money for
their development. Parker is in the
richest section of the Bouse district
and the most developed. His group
adjoins the properties of the Woods

RADIO outfit which may give Bouse a
smelter soon. Mr.. Taylor visited both
these big coppergold propositions and
caid that the ore deposits shown by
the amount of development work done

lieved that 1900 feet of proper devel.

critics are all south of the town, while
the gold prospects are in the San Cor
gonio range.
There has been a deal of promising
float found on that side of the town in
the canyons on the south slopes of the
San Gorgonio mountain, many of these
pieces showing free gold. While no
considerable ledge of gold-bearing ore
has been discovered, the indications
lead to the belief that somewhere in
the mountains will be found valuable
deposits. Preparations are being made
by a number to thoroughly prospect
that region.

euLLFRoe DISTRICT OUTPUT
REACHES OVER $15o,ooo

RHYOLITE, May 3.--According TO
the best information obtainable, the
output of the Builfrog district mines
for the month Of April Is above $780,
900. The Shoshone has been grinding
out 175 tons daily, according to the
management which means an output
of $3.50 tons, or $105,000, figuring the
ore at $50 ton. The Keane Wonder
has missed four shifts week. owing
to lack of water on account of poor
pumping facilities, and counting out
for the shut-downs. the probable tom
mage is 1850 tons. which at SIS ton
means $4,000 for the month. The
value of the shipments from the Dia-
mond Queen, Shoshone and Bullfrog
Mining are estimated from the assay
values currently reported.
The Shoshone will doubtless dupli-
cate, If not increase this output during
May, while the Keane Wonder is likely
to be running nearly up to capacity
next month. Direct shipments from
the Shoshone have beeen discontinued
for the present. In May. the Tramp

two carloads, and 1t is likely that the

BIG STRIKE MADE

TWO AND 0NE-HALF INCHES

RUSH FOLLOWS ANNOUNCER ENT
OF FIND
New Camp Is Twelve Miles Northeast
of KeeIer, and Near Keynote
and Cerro Gordo
Mines

Los Angeles persons who have been
investigating the region near the
Funeral range on the west side OF the
mountains have received news that a
strike has been made at a point known
as Camp Burgess. which shows a TWO
and one-half inch streak of $2O,Oo0
ore.
The strike was made April Il by
Harold Robinson. a son of Mrs. "A. W.
Wells, 1101 West First street, and was
followed, according to letters received
from the region, by a rush from Keeler
and other nearby points. The high
grade of the ore and the apparent
quantity has created great excitement
The mine has been christened Good
Hope"
Camp Burgess is twelve miles north
east of Keeler, three and one-halt miles
south of the Keynote mine, when mas
produced over three millions and four
miles north of the Cerro Gordo mine,
which has been one of the biggest pro-
ducers in the west for years.
According to the brief information
received there is a pay streak on the
Camp Burgess discovery twenty-five
inches wide and showing values aver
aging $500.
Burgess Robinson, another son of Mrs.
Wells, who was the discoverer of the
district and the one whose faith and
1ndefatigable labor for two years had
been seeking the rich find. Fate, how
ever, denied him the triumph at the
place where he based his expectations,
as ne was accidentally shot and killed
while hunting about month ago. His
brother prosecuted the work with the
same spirit, however, and was reward
ed by the strike reported.
For over two years Mrs. Wells and
her family have been pinning their
faith to this district. They knew it
was rich in silver and lead and had
found small values in gold. But they
were confident high gold values would
be found and the search has been one
of actual heroism for months. for the
Robinson boys underwent great hard
ships to seek vindication of their judg-
ment.
After the strike was made gold was
found on the LuZon and San Juan
claims and later on all the other claims
held by the wells family. The news of
the discovery brought an abundance of
prospectors who staked out many
claims on any of which gold has also
been found.

FINDS RICH ORE IN
OLD ABANDONED MINE

GLOBE. Ariz.. May S.--More gold ex-
element was caused yesterday when
it became known that a rich strike
had been made in an old abandoned
mine ON Spring creek, seventy-five
miles north of Globe, and that there
was a rush of men into the country
from Roosevelt and other nearby points
as soon as the rumors of the strike
leaked out.
Samples of the ore brought to Globe
by prospector named Shoemaker. who
made the find, assayed 1854 to the ton.
They run 27.7 ounces gold and SO
ounces silver. Shoemaker was very
much excited and left for the camp
taking ten men with him to put to
work in the mine.
The discovery was made in an aban-
doned mine on the Spring Creek ranch,
a mile and a half from the creek.
Shoemaker and another prospector
named Irbey were grubstaked by w. H.
Mayer of Globe five weeks ago. They
went into the Spring creek country,
where there are a number of aban-
doned mines, and began prospecting.
Monday Shoemaker returned and
showed Mayer the ore samples which
run $554 to the ton.

PRAISES DULzURA
SEES IN REGION A SECOND
CRIPPLE CREEK
VIII Return to District for Another
Inspection Later on--Surface
Indications Are Those
of Promise

That Dulzura has exceedingly bright
prospects of becoming one of the
biggest and most prosperous mining
camps in the entire country is the
opinion of John L. Lawrence,
prominent capitalist and mining man
of New York city, says the San Diego
Union.
Mr.. Lawrence is interested in
number of the best known and biggest
paying mines in the United States and
Mexico and has had ma years ex-
perience in the business. He came to
of visiting the Dulzura district, hav-
ing read with interest the published
reports of the wonderful surface indi-
erations encountered there. He re-
turned from his visit to the district
last night and when seen said:
II do not regret for a moment my
visiting the Dulzura district. I came
to San Diego especially for the pur-
pose of visiting the camp and my only
regret is that 1 cannot spend more
time there on this trip. However.
there are important business matters
awaiting my attention in New York,
and this compels we to leave for the
east tomorrow.
1.-THE surface indications at Dulzura
are certainly all that could be desired.
/ am much impressed with the char
acter of the ore which is being found.
1t appears to be the same kind of ore
which comes from the Portland mine
in Cripple Creek. If 1t is mineral

amount of ore in sight. / have

Piles which l intend to have assayed.
These samples 1 will leave with an
assayer in Denver on my way east. IT
is my intention to return to San Diego
very soon for the purpose of again
visiting the Dulzura district"
The fact that Mr.. Lawrence intends
to return on another visit to the Dull
zura district. making the trip all the
way from New York city. is the best
possible indication that he is pleased
with what he has seen.
