LOS ANGELES MEN
SECURE BOND ON A
WONDERFUL MINE
IS VERITABLE MOUNTAIN OF
GOLD ORE
Property Has Produced More Than a
Million Dollars from High Grade
pments-Purchasers will
Install Mill

G. H. Hayes, one of the owners of
the Hayes-Monnett lease in Goldfeld,
two years ago, Tom Short, his superin-
tendent, and Lincoln Davis all resi-
dents of Los Angeles have taken a
/ bond on a mine in the Jiminez dis
| trict Mexico, which appears to have
! the making of one of the biggest gold
/ producers on the continent. Mr.. Hayes
/ and Mr.. Short have gone there for Il
1 final examination and to determine
! plans for mining and milling the ore,
! and MI Davis viii leave tomorrow
/ morning to join them.
| The mine itself is a freak being
nothing less than a mountain of ore
/ 5000 feet in length. 1900 feet in width
and zoo feet high, and it is the belief
Of no less authority than MI Short
who recently concluded an exhaustive
examination of the workings, that the
entire mass of rock contains auriter-
Gus values exceeding S15 per ton. There
are two distinct classes Of ore, that
of the lower grade being an altered
and sOftened limestone heavily i'm
pregnated with iron. The high-grade
is a jasper quartz. which is covered
in spots with gold of so great a purity
that IT commands better than $25 per
i'm chimneys and chambers, much as
lead ores make in the lime, and from
the picture rock alone the owner,
Adolfo Rronimaun, has received $l,200,-
600 in sold, as evidenced by the smelter
settlement sheets.
The mine is opened by two tunnels
driven in from opposite sides of the
mountain, one of which is in $50 fee |
and the other $50 feet from the portal. |
From these tunnels drifts have been |
driven i'm search of the high grade |
values, and here development has
ceased.
The plans for the operation of the |
property embrace the installation of a !
5O-stamp mill at the base of the noun |
tain, which will have a capacity of not |
less than 200 tons daily. At Troya, the |
railway station seven miles from the |
mine. an electric generating plant with |
$50 horsepower capacity Will be in |
stalled, which will operate the plant |
and pump that will raise the water |
from the river, one and one-half miles |
distant, to the mill. This mill they ex-
pect TO have in operation within eight |
months, when work will be started on |
a second unit of like capacity. The ore !
is perfectly free and the process will |
embrace amalgamation and cyanide.
The mine is known as the Julieta,
ana IS situated midway between Jlmi- |
nez and Parral, on the Parral branch |
Of the Mexican National railway sys-
tenn. The owner. Adolfo Bronimann, is |
a well known man and an old resident |
of the country, and is extensively en- |
gagged in the manufacture Of cotton
goods. II is his desire to get the mine
on u basis where it will pay large and
regular profits and he takes a large
share of the purchase price in stock.
The bond calls for the organization of
'ompany with a capitalization of 3000,-
ZOO shares which is to finance the de-
-elopment Of the mine and the installa-
ion of modern milling machinery. Mr.
Hayes, who has been engaged in the
mining business for a lifetime, consid-
'rs the property one of the most Won
lerful he has ever seen, and destined
o make one of the great mines of the
world.
