MOHAWK HERALD
TO MILL ITS ORES
WILL HAUL THE PRODUCT TO
TWENTY-NINE PALMS
Has Developed Tonnage Of High Class
Gold Ore for Three Hundred
Feet Through Three
Shafts

Edward MacDermott, general man
ager Of the Mohawk Herald Mining
company, which is operating mine in
the White Tank pass, thirty miles north
of Indio on the Santa Fe and five miles
from Twenty-nine Palms, in San Ber-
nardino county, came in from camp to
spend Thanksgiving with his family,
leaving today for the mine.
The Mohawk Herald company has
been quietly at work for several months
developing ore in its properties, and Is
now arranging for mill run at one
of the two plants in operation at Twen-
ty-nine Palms. Three shafts have been
sunk on the vein, which Is opened up
for 300 feet with lateral work, expos
ing four feet of ore, which carries val
ues of from $50 to $100 per ton in gold.
The work has been confined to hog
back connecting Anaconda and Ana
dulce mountains, and the shafts are 100,
rs and 20 feet respectively The vein
has strong out-crop and is readily
traced for more than a mile on the
surface.
The Mohawk Herald company is con-
Quoting q store at the mines and has
considerable trade among the miners
and prospectors of that locality. The
management is endeavoring to develop
water about two miles above the mine,
which will give it gravity line. In
the event the efforts along that line
are successful, a milling plant will be
installed The ore is free milling, and
it is the intention to mill about twenty
tons daily at Twenty-nine Palms,
where two custom mills are in oper-
alton.
The water site of the company covers
tale vein twenty feet in width, which
is so heavily impregnated with water
that the fluid can be squeezed from It,.
About a mile above, along a similar
assure, cattlemen have developed water
for stock. N. E. S. Kildersen, a retired
raisin grower of Fresno, now a resi-
dent of Los Angeles, is president or
the company, and Mr.. MacDermott, the
manager, gives the mine his entire
personal attention.
Dr. j. w. Longnecker of Los Angeles.
who has a lease on the German Ameri-
can mine, five miles south of the Mo-
hawk Herald, is also in town arrang-
ing to ship some ore. He exhibited an
assay showing the presence of 1920
ounces gold in some of the ore which
he is preparing for shipment. and which
will probably be sent to the El Paso
smelters.
MIR. MacDermott says there is a great
deal of work going on in that section
of San Bernardino county, and that the
wagon road from Indio has been put
in first class condition by the super
visors of Riverside county, through
which the highway goes for the greater
part of the way. The Gold Park Con
| soldated, a Los Angeles company of
which Judge Winney Is president and
S. c. Swing secretary, has done a great
deal of development work five miles
south and east of the Mohawk Herald.
The italy company across the valley
and distant about one mile, which ex-
hibited some very rich ore in Los An
geles several months ago, is said to
have passed to the control of Mr..
Guinness of the Santa Fe, and is to be
extensively developed. The mine was
formerly controlled by Mr.. Phipps of
the Copper Queen at Bisbee.

BIG SESPE OIL
COMPANY BRINGS
IN A NEW WELL
STRIKES LIGHT OIL AT 400
FEET DEPTH
Company Composed of Los Angeles
Men Has Three Producing Wells
and Is Completing Pipe Line
to BroWnstone

The Big Sespe Oil company, which is
operating in the Big Sespe Greek dis
trict, north of Fillmore, in Ventura
county, recently struck light oil in a
new well at a depth of 400 feet. Drill
ing has been continued, and A. T..
Ward, manager for the company, ex-
poets to have the well flowing over the
top of the casing at 600 feet.
The ground now owned by the Big
Sespe company was formerly operated
by the Union Consolidated Oil compa-
ny of Chicago, and had several good
wells which were sunk to a shallow
depth near the anticline. When the
price of oil dropped the company was
unable to market it's product at profit
and finally abandoned the ground. The
Big Sespc company, which was organ
lied by Ward and A. w. Baker and as
sociates of Los Angeles, has built a
2000- barrel storage tank in the field and
a loading rack at I3rOWnstone siding OH
the Southern Pacific and is now COM
pleting an eight-mile pipe line from
the wells, which cost $4,000. The COM
pany has three wells on the pump, one
of which lately went 25S barrels under
test.
The oil of this field so far has been
of low gravity, but of a superior grade
for road work, commanding price OF
so cents anywhere along the line of the
railway. The new well, which is a
light oil. was sunk about 400 feet back
from the anticline, tending to the de-
Termination that light oil will be de-
veIoped away from the seepages The
light oil, aside from the higher price
which it commands, viii be of great ad-
vantage in assisting in the moving of
the heavy oil through the pipe line. No
pumping is necessary around the Big
and Little Sespe fields, the oil being
carried through the pipe lines by grav-

GOLDFIELD, Nov. 24.-Arthur We
Der and associates have secured lease

time all semblance of royalties will be
obliterated.
Yesterday the directors of the South

The McKittrick Operators Oil COM

expected to become a good producer.
The first we'll of the McKittrick Oper-

Raines, f. K. Lane of Boyer & Lane,

says that the Merrill we'll reached the
sands at a depth of 1881 feet, but they
expect to have to go about 140O feet,
as their well is back from the anti

In fhe McKittricl< field and predicts a
heavy production from the many wells
now being drilled.
The McISittrick Operators company
has $4,000 In the treasury. and with a

tum of oil sands it is probable that
the company win not put out any

Road Commission Has More Than
S1,375,OOO For Use This Year.

The State Road Commission re-
ports it will soon begin the actual
work on the roads under the Legis
lative act authorizing $4,000, 900
loan, 81, 100000 OF which is to he
spent in improving the turnpike
roads in the Annex of Baltimore
city.
The act providing for the State
loan authorized an expenditure of
100000 last year and $1,000, 900
for each subsequent year until the
fund was exhausted. 1t happens,
therefore, that the Commission has
81, 500, 900 available for road build
ing purposes, less the expenses of
the Commission and the cost Of sur
vey work, which will probably not
exceed 1926, 900.
The Commission has practically
promised the people of Southern
Maryland that the actual work of
road construction would begin in
that section, and st. Mary's will, it
is thought, be the first of these
counties TO enjoy a mile of good
road under the State loan act. 1t
has been determined that work 10
any section shall begin at the place
where population is most concen
trated, so this would take the Com
mission in the neighborhood of
Leonardstown.
When the work has been launch
ed, however, the Commission pro.
poses to push steadily on with it
under many contracts in every part
of the State, the Governor having
announced that he was anxious TO
see some work done in every county
in Maryland and on the turDpikes
in the city Annex in the present
year.
1t happens, however, that stone
is either very scarce or entirely
lacking in the Southern Maryland
and Eastern Shore counties, so the
Commission will probably have to
adopt some scheme of road i'm
provement which will require less
stone than is cnstomarily used in
improvements of this kind, for the
expense of getting road building
materials into these sections of the
State will be enormous, and the
road mileage for each of these
counties will be greatly reduced
unless a scheme can be outlined
whereby some other material can
be found that will meet the
situation.
In taking over road mileage in
each of the counties the Commission
acted on the theory that each mile
would cost about $4,000. whereas
roads have heretofore been built in
this State at an average cost of
about $500 a mile.
1t has been suggested as means
Of lessening the cost that the State
rent or lease quarry on the banks
If the Susquehanna in the vicinity
of Havre de Grace, where stone is
plentiful, using barges to land the
material at point near where
work is being done. In accepting
bids for work the contractor could
exercise an option in taking the
stone furnished by the State at a
specified price or buy elsewhere.
provided it could get the material
cheaper.
