iding. At the old Hamilton mill there
is a pile of tailings which carry val
ues Of from $40 to $l00 a ton, the tail
ings being valued at $4,000, and it
is the intention to install a cyanide
plant for the treatment of this rich
residue.
e. NJ. Hamilton was a we'll known
character in Los Angeles before he
turned his attention to mining, having
served two stormy terms in the city
council. By his own story he had some
hard knocks in the task of putting the
mine on a producing basis, which were
due to his entire ignorance of ore for
nations and to lack of capital. At
the time he entered that section of the
Mojave desert its mineral possibilities
were unknown to the mining world
His example has since been followed
by others and the ROsamond district
is fast coming to the front.
A. E. Wiley president and manager
of the Antelope Valley, is an eX-
perieneed and successful mining engi-
neer and fully realizes the value of
the new possessions of his company.
He purposes to open the mine in a
WorkmanliSe manner and to install a
mill lust as soon as the developments
warrant.
Some of the ore which was treated
i'm the old Hamilton mill was very
rich, but it was literally gophered out.
The new shaft will be sunk close by
the rich ore shoot which old man
Hamilton discovered.
The formation of the Rosamond dis
trict is said to closely resemble that
of Golddeld, with stratum of dacite
underlying a7desite The richest ore
in the Ida mine was found on the
contact of a red intrusive granite. If
the ore deposition is the same as in
the Goldfeld district the dacite will
carry the big and rich ore veins. On
| the Antelope Valley cOmpany's ground
the erosion has barred this dacite for
1000 feet and the company is engaged
! in driving a cross-cut tunnel, which
will enter the dacite at a depth of 300
feet beneath the outcrop of the vein.
! The offices Of the Antelope Valley
| Gold Mining company are at 622 South
/ Broadway The officers are: President,
! A. e. Wiley: vice president, II. V.
/ BlenlIron: secretary and treasurer, w.
! L. Blenkiron. J. J. Reid, an eX-
perienced mine manager, is superin-
! tendent.

dent, has secured holdings in the
northwestern Midway field, and is
shortly to begin operations there. The
Bear Creek we'll in that neighborhood
is now doing regularly two hundred
barrels.
The Brookshire, which is another
Santa Maria company, has four rigs
at work on its holdings and rapid
progress is being made.

Report comes from the DEVILS Den
country that everything is moving
along rapidly and many bright pros
poets are developing. 1t is reported
that the Consolidated has a good fifty
barrel we'll and the Pluto Is looking
for a gusher every day.
The Greasy Jim is making prepara-
tions for great development and is
building bunk houses and installing
first class machinery.
The Positive has timbers on the
ground for a standard derrick and ma
chinery has been ordered. The Mara
thon is drilling at a rapid gait and
has made a good discovery! j. j.
Cairns is drilling with his outfit on the
old True Blue property with every
indication of success. Every day a new
outfit is entering the field and good
machinery is being installed on every
claim.
Dougherty & Johnson have installed
a heavy keystone drilling rig on sec
tion 2-16-18 and will begin active oper-
ations at once.
The Pluto is said to have the bright
ests prospects of any company at pres
ent and has ordered a large quantity
of cement, which was delivered on the
ground Thursday for the purpose OF
shutting the water off.

ANTELOPE VALLEY
BUYS RICH MINE
FAM0Uo Ida BONANZA HAS
NEW OWNERS
Property In Kern County, Ninety Miles
from Los Angeles, Which Has
Produced Large Amount
of Bullion

The Antelope Valley Gold Mining
company of Los Angeles has purchased
the famous Hamilton, or Ida, mine
near Rosamond, in the south part of
Kern county, a property which is cred
ited with a production of 100000. The
mine adjoins the holdings of the An
telope Valley company and can be
worked TO advantage in connection
with the claims already developed by
the company.
The Hamilton mine was discovered
by E. NJ Hamilton, while he was out
on the MojaVe desert for the benefit
of his health. The mine is situated
about ninety miles due north Of Los
Angeles and within three miles of the
aqueduct. Mr.. Hamilton built a FIVE
stamp mill from the proceeds Of his
first shipment and has since been min
ing in q crude way until poor health
confined him to lighter duties. He
has refused many offers for the prop
erty, and the Antelope Valley company
is considered fortunate in finally ac-
quiring the control of the company.
A. e. Wiley, president of the An
telope Valley Mining company, made
the deal for the Hamilton mine and
says that the company made the first
payment October 80. 1t is his inten-
ton to sink a new working shaft. and
as soon as conditions warrant the COM
pany will install a tWenty-stamp mill
There is water in abundance and the
final completion Of the aqueduct and
the installation of power plants will
give cheap electric power for the oper-
alton of tht machinery. BY this time
the company expects TO have the mine
In shape for the enlargement of the
mill.
The old workings of the Ida mine
are hardly in condition for mining
operations, but it will take but short
time to sink a new working shaft The

recovered by amalgamation and cyan

MARIAN WELL is
NOW ON THE PUMP
WEST SIDE OF C0ALINGA FIELD
PROVED
soIidated Has a Good Well in
Devils Den, and Pluto
Expects a Gusher

COALINGA, Nov 3-At 10 o'clock
this forenoon the Marian put on the
pump adm added itself to the list of
producers in the great field. While 1t
was not learned officially what the flow
is, the report is that about a 300-barrel
rate will cover the proposition.
AS a result Of the determining of the
fact that the finding of oil in the
Marian establishes beyond the perad-
venture of a doubt the existence of an
immense lake of oil underlying the
west side, investors will not be laggard
in entering the field and beginning op-
erations in hitherto wildcat sections.
The Marian was put down under
contract by Clyde Martin and he made
an efficient record-one of which he
need not feel ashamed, even though he
be a new man to this district.

docked on Sunday, to undergo slight
repairs on her hull. The work was COM
pleted on Monday and the craft foated
in the river in nice shape. The crews of
the Newport and Spokane attended to
the repairs, and the Spokane furnished
the power to dock the Newport.
A portion of the boom belonging to
Appel Bros. broke away on Monday
night. The steamers Ruth and Meta
line and the gasoline launch Fran were
anchored to the piling. The Ruth has
been anchored there since the river has
been frozen over, and the Metaline and
Fran have been using the piling to tie
to for several months.
The Ruth was fastened both fore and
aft, and when the fore line was released
she swung around in the current and
crashed into the steamer Newport,
which was anchored at the docks of the
Navigation Co. The Newport was in
jured slightly, but the Ruth escaped any
damage, her stern line holding.
The Metaline and the Fran, together
with the house boat belonging to those
boats, were carried away and Hoated
down stream. Manager McInnis, of the
Navigation Co., sent the steamer Spo-
kane down after the boats as soon as he
was informed of the accident and the
Spokane could be got ready. 1t is sup
posed that a large ice foe caused the
piling at the boom to give way.
The Spokane went as far as Dalkena
in search of the boats but failed to dis
cover any trace of them on account of
the fog. Later it was found that the
Metaline was lodged on the bar in the
inner channel of the river near Bound
ary Island. She is badly listed and
partly filed with water but it is not be-
lieved that she is seriously damaged.

Navigation on Upper River Re
sumed Wednesday.
Metaline Damaged by Ice Floes

Navigation was resumed partially on
Wednesday after close down of about
three weeks. The river has been open
as far as Indian island for several days.
bnt this did not serve to assist the local
companies operations. as there are no
towns between Newport and the island.
On Monday the ice went out IN the
channel as far down the river as Cusick
The Spokane made trip to Dalkena in
| search of the Metaline ON that day, so
Manager McInnis, of the Pend Oreille
River Navigation Co.. decided to insti.
tute service as far az Cusick and Usk.
The steamers Newport and Spokane,
OF the Navigation Co.'s line, have been
in this port since the freeze up, and were
started out on schedule on Wednesday.
The Newport will make the round trip
between Newport and Cusick daily until
further notice. She will make the usual
stops at the towns of Lenola, Dalkena,
Cusick and Usk in addition to the Gus
tomary landings. The Spokane will be
kept busy towing barges of freight, large
quantities Of which have accumulated
here during the period that navigation
has been closed. The lack of supplies
has greatly hindered the work OF con-
struction on the Idaho & Washington
Northern.
As soon as the ice has gone out as far
Ruby the steamer lone " i'll be brought
here and a new schedule will be issued.
The steamer Ruth, of the Metaline
Navigation Co. will not begin operations
until the ice has entirely disappeared
from the river. The management of the
latter company is mp against the real
thing at the present time On account of
not having any dock at which to land in
Newport. During the time that the
river has been frozen over Manager Nc
Innis, of the Pend Oreille River Naviga-
ton Co., leased the Stevens dock, at
which the Ruth formerly docked. This
left the Ruth without landing place.
Manager Crichton states that he has q
couple of sites IN view and will soon
have dock of his own.
