MINES MINING AND PROSPECTS IN GREAT SOUTHWEST REGION
GLOBE CONSOLIDATED
FINDS SULPHIDE ORE
IN THE GENEVA VEIN

TUCSON, May 2S.-Late dispatches
from Globe confirm the report of new
strike of rich sulphide in the Geneva
vein of the Globe Consolidated. The
vein opened is six feet wide and carries
5 per cent copper.
The company struck the Geneva vein
some time ago, an assay showing be-
tween and 6 per cent copper. There
was apparently large ore body at
hand. but on drifting it was found
that the vein gradually narrowed, al
though not decreasing in quality, until
it was only few inches i'm width.
Further explorations, however, have
opened up a siX-foot vein of about the
same quality as before, and the pros
pect for the mine is very bright.
The Geneva vein is on the 1200foot
level. Preparations are being made to
sink a shaft 400 feet deeper, going down
to depth of 1000 feet. This will com
pare with the thirteenth level of the
Old Dominion mine

PIumas County Discovery

Word comes from the Crown Point
mine, Plumas county, that George Nc
Call, one of the leasers, has developed a
small but very rich vein. The develop
ment was made about three feet below
the surface, and a cut uncovered 1t for
a distance of about twenty feet The
vein is from fourteen to eighteen inches
wide, and the quartz shows gold to the
naked eye in very many places 1t is
confidently estimated that the ore will
mill at least SIS to the ton. Mr.. Mccall
has discovered another vein, but will
devote his attention to the first men
toned. He will take out ore from this
time forward. and as soon as the orc
now in the mill Is crushed reduction Of
ore from the new find will be entered
upon.

county this summer. He says that
several Goldfield persons are prospect

from quartz vein. One piece of gold
with particles Of quartz was recently
found that weighed thirty-six ounces,

River May Destroy Maeneslte

PORTERVILLE, May 29.-Continued
high water in the South Tule river
threatens to demoralize the magnesite
market of the coast. Although there
is a comparatively limited market for
the commodity the only locality in
which it is obtained in paying quanti-
ties is in the vicinity of Porterville
The available supply which can be
reached on Magnesite hill has been
practically exhausted, and the water
is still too high in the South Tule to
permit of hauling from the mines up
the river. Manager Bartlett says the
magnesite mines people had orders
booked for several thousand tons, and
only about half can be filled from the
present supply

Stamps at Golden Gate

GRASS VALLEY, May 23.-The new
ten-stamp mill at the Golden Gate
mine was started up recently and it
worked like a charm. 1t has just been
installed. Electric power is used to
drive the machinery. C. C. Haub, the
chief owner of the mine, was present,
as were superintendent Martin and "A

To Run Arrastras

GRASS VALLEY, May $50 well
satisfied are the directors of the Posey
Canyon Mining company that they
have decided to put in $50 feet of pipe
line, giving $50 feet drop, for the pur-
pose of operating arrastras at their
gravel mine, less than nine miles west
of town. They have two channels and
an abundance of gravel which is pay
ing well, as regular weekly clean-ups
prove. No machinery is yet on the
ground. and much fine gold is lost in
the sluices. This the arrastras will
save. The property IS owned and OPP

nothing to sell and are putting their
own money into the enterprise, which
promises to become one of the best pay

Word has just reached Los Angeles
from Monster of a big strike made by
the Reese brothers in their lease sink

five feet they have encountered two
foot ledge, from which they obtained
ore assaying $14S4.10 in gold. The
ledge shows up strongly with excellent
walls. The ore is free milling gold
With a trace of silver. While this is
the highest value yet struck in camp,
there are other leases taking out high
grade. The Mushett lease, on the Star
of the West, is hosting ore from a
four-foot ledge which goes $S1.S5 in
gold and fourteen ounces in silver,
while V. Van Wormer is working a
four and half-foot ledge on the Green
Dragon which averages $500. In adj

who are just beginning operations and
all showing great promise for the
future
Monster. which was so prominently
brought to the attention of the public
last fall, is situated in Inyo county
near the Owens river aqueduct, on the
line of the Nevada 81 California rail
road. which is being built from Mojave

CLIFFORD PINCH07 MAKES POSITION PLAIN

On the second day of the irrigation
congress in session this week in Spo-
kane. Wash, Clifford Pinchot, head of
the forest department and chairman of
the National Conservation Commission
was given an ovation that must have
struck terror to the hearts OF the men,
who are seeking to either control or
totally DESTROY the resources of this
country. In the course of his remarks
which followed the demonstration in
his honor, Mr.. Pinchot said:
"The most valuable citizen of this or
any other country is the man who owns
the land from which he makes his liv-
the country. No other man lends such
steadiness and stability to our national
life. Therefore, no other question con
Germs us more intimately than the ques
ton If homes. Permanent homes for
ourselves, our children, and our nation
this is the central problem. The policy
of national irrigation is of value to the
United States in very many ways, but
the greatest of all is this, that national
irrigation multiplies the men who own
the land from which they make their
living. The old saying, who ever
heard of man shouldering his gun to
fight for his boarding house, reflects
this great truth. that no man is so
ready to defend his country, not only
with arms, but with his vote, and his
contribution to public opinion as the
man with permanent stake in it, as
the man who owns the land from which
he makes his living.
"Our country began as nation of
farmers. During the periods that gave
it its character, when our independence
was won and when our Union was pre-
served, we We're pre- cminently a nation
of farmers. We can not, and we ought
not, to continue exclusively, or even
chiefly. an agricultural country, be
cause one man can raise food enough
for many. But the farmer who owns
his land is still the backbone of this
nation; and one of the things we wan.
most is more of him.
"The man on the farm is valuable
to the nation. like any other citizen,
just in proportion to his intelligence,
character, ability and patriotism, but
unlike the other citizens, also in pro
portion to his attachment to the soil
That is the principal spring of his
steadiness, his sanity, his simplicity
and directness. and many of his other
desirable qualities. He is the first of
home makers.

of the great conservation movement is
