Started in the year 1867, and for
20 years producing ore that enabled the
pioneer mining men to successfully
combat the desert, with its pe-ils of
thirst, heat, Indians, and to overcome
the disadvantage of having 20 haul
practically all supplies, as well as ore,
from and to the old camp Of Austin,
The old camp Of Mcntezuma promises to
again become the scene of active min

the old mines that will be opened are
the Bullion, the Benton, the Eva, the
New York, the Nevada and the Ari-
IONA. The old Caracas, while not
owned by this company, we understand,
will join the list of producers. 1t is
controlled by Pittsburg people. The
Pandora, already with a fiattering pro-
duetive record, will also figure in the
general regeneration, while across the
valley the Paymaster is getting into
shape to send ore to market.
An Array of Metals
The ores from these mines are of the
lead-silver variety, carrying gold in
quantity ranging from a few cents to
many ounces per ton. A little copper
shows in most of the ore, while in
some parts of the district there. is
heavy copper contact. The district is
one of the most rugged in nature in
this part of the state, two or three
of the central peaks rising over 5000
feet in height, their slopes covered with
heavy growths of pinon pine. When we
entered Montezuma caEyon for the
first time last Sunday morning, as the
early rays of the sun were kissing
the high peaks, veritable timbered
parks, in which there was grass and
flowers and green shrubs, were a. veri-
table feast for desert tired eyes,, and
we stopped and looked, and looked until
satiated with the beauty of the scene.
We plucked twings from the pine trees
and crushed them between our hands
and shifted the piney perfumes. 1t
seemed too good to be true-real tim
berIand but ten miles from the heart
of Goldfeld. Green vegetation showed
that water was close, and anywhere in
the canyons it has been found that
water could be developed-not in large
quantities. but sufficient for domestic
purposes. And with such natural All
v%antages it is little wonder that Mon
tezuma seemed the promised land to
those desert-weary voyagers who tolled
across the desert wastes in the sixties,
in search of gold.
Milled Their Own Ore
More than thirty-five years ago the
Montezuma mining men builded a mill,
hauling all the supplies from Stockton,
CAL, the closest seaport, to Austin,
thence to Montezuma. The ruins OF
the old mill are still there. The equip
ment, save some hat has been tora
away by vandals, is still in place, IL

Montezums and Klondyke districts com
bined there are some thousands OF
tons of ore on dumps, that can BE-
milled at a good profit, and that with
convenient milling facilities, there arc
many properties in these two districts
that would resume operations and fur
nish a mill with 200 to 500 tons of ore
per day-this being gold-silver and lead
silver o~re-running between $50 and
$50 per ton.
A Promising Property
The Montezuma Gold King company
is rushing operations under the super
~intendeney of Captain j. A. Burton, and
has several thousand tons of rich mill
ing ore in sight. One ore dump carries
some 5000 tons of selected ore, that
will average about $35 per ton, while
much more is blocked out, but is not
being worked.
The company owns -four claims in a
group, and is pursuing active opera
tions on two claims. On the Copper
King claim a shaft is down 107 feet,
and there has been some drifting lone
on a cross ledge, that carries good
values in gold and silver. A crosscut
is now in 800 feet from the bottom
of the shaft, and is being driven stead
ily forward in order to catch the i'm
mense quartz lead that outcrops on
the top of the hill half a mile above
the shaft, and which may be traced in
an unbroken line for two miles across
country. The quartz vein is in a con
tact system, on one side being a mas
sive formation of cambrian limestone,
on the other a slate formation. The
formation of the entire mountain sys-
tenn dips sharply to the west, and the
Gold King shaft is to the west of the
outcropping quartz ledge. This quartz
ledge is evidently the one which was
tapped, four miles to the south, by the
operators in the old camp of Monte
yuma.
On Longshot claim No. 2, to the north
of the main shaft, q tunnel is being
driven into the hill, to catch the same
main lead of quartz that the cross
cut from the shaft is being driven
for. The tunnel is in about so feet,
and has cut through a rich feeder of
the main ledge, some 4 feet in thick
ness, the vein matter being well filed
with mineral in the shape of %sulphides
and chlorides of silver. Some ruby
in this ore. The ore in the
shaft is richer in sulphides thar that
in the tunnel, and shows that the lime
zone is being approached. Both work
ings will cut the quartz ledge very far
below the surface of the hill, the
crosscut from the tunnel catching it
at about the 900-foot level, and the
tunnel at about $50 feet. The prospects
of the Gold King should be very sat
isfactory to the stockholders.
The property is well equipped with
living quarters for the men. Hosting
is being lone with a within. The prop
erty has a gasoline hoist, but while
nothing but development work is going
on the within is fast enough, and much
more economical. The whole aim Of
the superintendent is to get a large
of ore opened up and blocked
cut against the time when the COM
pany erects it's mill.
The gentlemen who are backing the
company will be here from Indiana
in a few days, at which time the mill
proposition will be taken up and push
ed to conclusion.

AT .POLI'S
 THIS WEEK

Clayton White and Marie Stuart are
 the big noise this week at Polls, offer
 ing George V. Hobart's newest com
 edy playlet entitled 'Cherie.' This
 sketch is punctuated with laughter ev-
 every few words. The ininitable tall ents of MT. White and Miss. Stuart
 were never shown to better advantage
 than in "Cherie.' Yesterdays audi
 ences roared their appreciation at ev-
 cry move of the breezy race track man
 Bruce Scott, portrayed by MT. White,
 and Miss Stuart was no less attractive
 in her role of Cherie Bertram, the dash
 ing and handsome woman.
 Manchester Bros, offering their en-
 igma, sGaanda-Humanus thoroughly
 mystihed the big audiences. The act
 consists in the exhibition on the stage
 of a wonderfully arranged mechanical
 figure representing a human being, and
 operated by electricity. Gaanda-Hu-
 manus walks, rides a bicycle, writes
 one a blackboard and climbs stairs. At the conclusion of the act the operators
 took the figure apart showing the clockwork in motion, and demonstrat-
 ing that Gaanda-Humanus is an mani
 mate thing of gutta percha, paper
 mache, wax and steel. The act occa-
 stoned genuine wonderment. The oth-
 CT features on the bill were acceptable.

 Gaanda-Humanus, a mechanical figure as the added feature at Polfs this week. have made a startling offer to the management. for a public exhibi- tion of the ability of the figure to drive a team of horses through the city streets. Arrangements have been made whereby Gaanda-Humanus will tomorrow, Wednesday, at high noon start from the door of the thea tre driving a spirited pair of animals attached to a carriage. and will guide the horses unaided to Seaside par and return. This is apparently one of the most sensational feats ever performed in this city. Gaanda-Humanus, a me- chanical figure representing a human
 being and standing six feet and more in height and weighing 300 pounds, is mystifying audiences daily at Polls. The operators declare that Gaanda-Hu- manus is the product of their fathers brain. The elder Manchester was something of a scientist and inventor and he studied for many years to find a solution of the great mystery. Short ly before his death the inventor had nearly perfected Gaanda-Humanus
 which he bequeathed to his sons with
 the advice that they show the figure to the world.
 The figure is called Gaanda-Hu- manus from the Greek and Latin, the The operators declare that under the powerful electrical current sent through it's mechanism Gaanda-Hu- manus will be able to handle a pair cf horses with as much skill as a veteran driver.

GREAT FIRE THREATENS
 ROCHESTER

Special from United Press.)
 Rochester. April 13.-Four firemen have been removed to the hospitals caught beneath falling walls and prop erty losses will run into the thousands as a result of fire which broke out in four story building, corner of Main and Gibbs streets shortly after Il o'clock this morning and was not un- der control at 1:30 D. m.
 All efforts to stay the north and westward sweep of the flames seems unavailing. The section bounded by Grove. Gibbs and Stillson streets and University avenue. recently built up. is threatened with destruction. Only g subsistence of the wind or other force full contingencies can stop the flames. Bremen are fainting by the score. All ambulances and hospital doctors have been summoned.
 The first separate company of the National Guard has been called to do duty with the police and the board of fire underwriters are now demanding that all in the city be ordered out by the Mayor.
 Right of way has been given to a special train bearing fire engines for the relief of the stricken city and all other trains have been sidetracked.
 At 2:25 Chief Little declared that the uptown fire was under control but the wind increased with the result that it is again spreading rapidly. An esti- mate of the damage at this time is im- possible although it is believed 1t will easly reach SEQ, 900.

M. A Sciortino. barber at 1898 Main street. attempted to demonstrate that his battery would explode a dyna- mite cartridge yesterday and is laid up as consequence with both hands badly burned and bruised. Sciortino owns some lots in the North End and had engaged man to blow out the rocks on the place. The man asked for a battery to explode the dynamite cart ridges he was going to use. The bar Der had a battery in his shop which he said was all right. The man said: That's no good"
 "I'll show you it's all right Scior- tino said. He took the two wires and connected them with the ends in the cap and holding the detonator in his hand connected the battery. There was a sharp. strong explosion and Sciortino was almost knocked down He had demonstrated that he was right and that the battery was also right,

Now that the present tariff rate of 45 per cent. advalorem on automobi piles and parts bids fair to remain in force, it is very likely that several prominent European manufacturers will arrange to start branch factories in this coun- try.
 It is estimated that with the stupen- dous development of the American au- tomobile industry there are now in- vested in plants for automobile build ing and all necessary kindred indus tries, such the plants making ac- cessories, leather for machines, parts, lamps, tires. etc, more than $500, ,000.-
