Treasure Isle Proves a Myth.

\ Nogales dispatch says:-The mys-
terry and glamor for many years sur
rounding Tiburon Island, Gulf of Cali
fornia, has been effectively dissipatsd
by the return Of seven of the Ameri-
can explorers who had passed through
Nogales on October Is on their way to
explore the island, which they suppos-
ed to be inhabited by man-eating Seri
Indians and to contain hidden treasure
and rich mineral veins. The party
was under the leadership of Prof.
Fayette A. Jones.
At Guaymas the explorers bought a
boat, provisioned it for three-months'
stay and sailed up the gulf, landing at
Keno bay on the mainland.
Here he was visited by 20 Seris,
men and women. who proved friendly
and who informed them that there was
nothing of value on the island.
They crossed to the island, estab-
lished a permanent camp and prosecut-
ed their explorations for five weeks,
finding no indication of value or of
great interest.
The island is - miles wide and 35
miles long and is of volcanic origin.
Good grass abounds and there is some
running water. It contains no human
being, but hundreds of deer and
myriads of wild pigeons.
Inscriptions were found proving the
visit there in 1905 of a rescue party
in search of traces of the Grindell ex-
ploring expedition, lost the year :
fore.
During the party's stay it was visited
by former Congressman Conn of In
diana. who Is making a pleasure cruise
in his private yacht Comfort"
The party received every help and
courtesy at the hands of the Mexican
officials. 1t came away thoroughly
satisfied that the mystery and romance
attached to Tiburon are all a myth.

Fine Results From Milling.

The late run of Chief of the Hills ore
through the Cyrus Noble mill proved
to be an exceptionally fine ore. Forty
six and a fraction tons went into the
hoppers and the cleanup gave 200
ounces of gold, the saving being
between So and 80 per cent Yester-
day the fineness of the gold had not
been determined, but it is estimated
to be worth at least l2.50S an ounce,
making the brick worth roundly 25OOS
and giving the ore an average of
better than sos to the ton.
Messrs. Frank Horne, Geo. Weeks,
r, bt. Ray and c. Z. Niles are the for
tunate leasers. Succeeding J. A.
Delameter, these gentlemen went to
Mohave County miner., 1910-01-08

work sinking a new shaft near the
portal of the middle tunnel. This
they put down to a depth of 30 feet
and then stopped to within ten feet of
the surface.
The leasers figure that they have
somewhere between 80 and 100 tons
remaining in sight, which will at once
be extracted. The future scheme of
development calls for the running in
of the lower tunnel and the sinking of
the shaft until connections are made.
The objective point is the junction of
the two separate veins which are
pitching toward one another.
The leasers are loud in their praises
of Messrs. Thompson and Woodman, of
the Cyrus Noble, for their careful and
very successful handling of the run

Dredging.

Dredging has of late years secured
for itself a substantial place amongst
mining operations. Beginning in New
Zealand and carried on there with
varying success for several years it
later took root in California. With
improved machinery and great success
recently the dredges have invaded
Co orado. At Breckenridge. Summit
county, various devices apart from the
common hydraulics were tried TO win
the placer gold from areas inaccessible
10 the average placer miner, such as
the wide fiat meadow bottoms of riv-
ers. For Some years the Evans eleva-
tor tried to solve the problem of ex-
tracing gold from bedrock under its
heavy cover of some 90 feet or more
of large boulders and gravel, but its
efforts we're unsuccessful, and the
reign of elevators, including a curious
clamshell digger, has passed, leaving
only monuments of unsuccessful work
and skeletons of machinery of various
kinds and patterns. The reign of ele-
vators has succeeded to that of dredges.
At first few small boats of the Risdon
pattern were tried, but proved too
slight TO compete with the large boul-
ders. They were followed by much
larger ships of the Bucyrus type, with
the most powerful up-to-date machin-
cry, and these have proved themselves
at last complete success. One has
but TO 90 by train down the valley of
the Blue River or 10 ride a mile or
two up French and other tributary
already accomplished. Miles of steep
banks of boulders are arranged along
the valley like glacial moraines, and
at different points the great machines
are seen at. work, digging their way
down TO bedrock and progressing
steadily along the valley and river
courses. A great and unexpected
event has been the discovery that the
dredgeS, as now organized, can work
through the greater part of the winter
season instead Of their operations being
restricted to but a few months in the
year. This Is vast improvement on
the average hydraulicking methods
whose working time was limited to
the short period when the river was
open; when winter and freezing began
work of necessity stopped.-Denver

Advices from the Mendha mine in
the Highland district indicate that
conditions there are highly gratifying
to the officers aud shareholders of that
corporation. South of the main fissure
on the 500 level, Manager John r.
Cook has driven for more than 20 feet
through body Of high grade ore con-
tanning average values of 100 ounces
in silver, 80 per cent lead and 25S in
gold; while on the $50 level has been
exposed a five-foot breast, in bedded
vein, which returns assays of 40 per
cent lead, % ounces in silver and l5S
in gold. The north 800 cross-cut has
been run out 40 feet with conditions
ripe for the interception Of another

Boston Ely Ore Rich.

An Ely dispatch says:-The body of
sulphide ore in the bottom of the Bos-
ton Ely shaft, which was expected 10
contain small copper values, has been
found to carry approximately IL per
cent copper, it is said. This is a dis
tinct surprise, for it was believed that
enrichment would not occur until wa
ter level was reached; what appeared
to be copper in the ore was believed,
until assays were taken, to be iron.
The ore is known to carry some gold
and silver values, as well as copper,
but at last account no test had been
made for the precious metal contents.
The ore was encountered at the
depth of l,O60 feet, and at seven feet
furthur depth the bottom of the shaft
was entirely in ore, with every indica-
tion that the body is a large one. The
high values carried by the ore at that
horizon is regarded as assuring that
the Boston Ely is to be a rich mine:
that the ore of the district in the liue
formation is high grade, thus offsetting
the lower cost of production by the
mines of the prophyry belt.

Source of Wealth a Mystery.

Probably the most peculiar placer
deposit ever found in Montana was dis
covered in the Scratch Gravel hills,
four miles north of Helena, says the
Helena Independent.
The find was made by Z. r. Tandy
more than 40 years ago, and the ground
was worked out by him. The placers
consisted of shallow granite sand COW
ering a bedrock of granite, and was
not more than two feet in thickness.
The method adopted for working the
ground was quite simple, but very ef
fective. A ditch from Seven Mile
creek was dug and water turned into
it, which flowed by gravity to the dig
gings. An ordinary plow was then
used to plow up the diggings, sluices
set and the waste material washed
away. The gold found after the dirt
was washed off consisted of nuggets,
which were mostly picked by hand
from the bedrock. A large percentage
of the gold was coated with a white
silicate of lime, and resembled ordi-
nary worthless pebbles, but when the
coating was removed from the mug
gets they proved to be the pure stuff.
Many attempts have been made to
account for the presence of the gold
in a locality where there was practic-
ally no wash, but thus far no satisfac-
tory solution has been submitted, I'M
less it be that the gold came from a
pocket or lead near by and a little
higher up. But whatever is the true
solution of the rich Tandy diggings
nobody has as yet traced the gold to
its source, but it is generally conceded
by those familiar with the history of
the camp that the finder will meet
with a rich reward.

semiuated ore in Arizona and Nevada.
The mines and the smelters of the
country are now in a position to make
the output of 1910 larger than that of
1909. So many factors, however, enter
into the determination of the output
that any forecast of production of the
coming year made at this time would
he without value.

that being the second issue of the
bonds.
The difference between the a and
3S inch piping, the directors say was
equalized in the expense incident to
the enlarging and strengthening of
the penstock.
As to the delay in the construction
Of the system and the 500 DAY
forrest, the directors say that there is
clause in the contract with the con
struction company providing that de-
lays incident to securing rights of
way, or by litigation shall not be held
against them or be made subject to
penalty. Under this construction of
the terms of the contract the direC-
tors claim that the time for compile
ton of the ditch system has not yet
elapsed.
The charge that the construction
company has been allowed to draw
money to an amount which encroach-
es upon the sum provided to be held
back until SO days after the compile
ton of the contract is met by the
statement of the directors that while
they have but $500 in bonds held
back out of the S10O,5OO required.

$4,000 of unpaid warrants This,
they claim, makes the district even
now liable to the construction com

touched
The gentlemen composing the di-
rectorate of the Orchard Mesa Irriga-
tion district declare that since some
disgruntled land owners seem to de-
sire an--aYpensiye law suit to ascer-
, tain the actual circumstances of the
management of the district, they can
have it, but that the report of Expert
Auditor Harry e. MulniX should have
been sufficient to satisfy them.

Sensational charges of mismanage-
ment and ignoring of the terms of the
contract for the construction of the

in the complaint filed in the district
court this morning by Ed. &. Bryan,
through his attorney, Charles IA.

W. Barber, George Smith, David
Winger and the Orchard Construction
company.
The complaint is voluminous doc
ument of about forty pages and states
that an application will be made at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning in the
county court for temporary injunc-
ton, because the district court is not
available Mt this time.
The daily sentinel., 1910-10-24

Among the specific charges ant
allegations of the complaint are tn,
following:
After setting forth that the nom
inal plaintiff is the owner of 40 acre.
under the ditch it declares that the
contract with the construction com
pany provides that extra work found
necessary to be done, shall be done al
actual costs plus Is per cent of the
cost for profit 1t is charged that the
directors of the district have wrong
fully confederated ana agreed to pay
more than double that amount" IL
various instances. 1t is claimed thai
l . bridges were constructed at a cost
of $3.50 each when they should have
cost but $500 each.
1t is charged that tine pipes are in,
secrrely anchored and improperly
placed
1t is charged that the diameter Of
piping was changed from "A inche:
to 3S inches and no allowance ot
credit for district made for the diff
ference.
1t is charged that iron piping ha.
been substituted for cement and that
the district is not allowed a credit BY
the construction company to the
amount of $1,000, alleged to be the
difference in cost.
1t is claimed that under the terms
of the contract S100,500 of the S67O,.
900, the cost of the work, should be
withheld from the builders till sc
days after the completion of the sys-
TEN, but that the directors have al
lowed the contractors to draw until
only $500 is now withheld, and
the work is not yet completed
1t is claimed that here has been
no canal waste way constructed ard
that the U. S. government has noti-
fled the directors of the fact and still
nothing has been done toward rem
edying the deficiency.
The paying Of $3.50 to George
Smith for right of way for the
power canal over certain coal lands OF
his, is declared to be extravagant and
excessive
1t is claimed that payment of $5,-
600 has been made to one Jackson
for the conveyance of certain lands to
the district, but that such conveyance
has never been made although the
money was paid.
According to the contract the en-
tire project was to have been COM
pleted by April 1. 1910, and a for
feituer of 500 a day for time in
excess of that date was to be paid by
the construction company. 1t is
claimed that the system is not yet
completed and that no credit has been
allowed the district for the delay un-
der the CONSTITUTIONAL terms.
1t is charged that the dam is but
partly constructed and that even now
some of the structure is giving way
under the stress of the water.
AS a final charge it is claimed that
the directors did not offer the bonds
# the district in the open market
for the alleged reason that the finan-
cial markets were in such an un-
settled state that sale could not be
effected at an advantage, but that
the bonds were turned over to the
Orchard Construction company at a
discount of 40 per cent from their
face value.
The request is then made that an
injunction be issued preventing the
directors from turning over any more
bonds to the construction company
and from paying out any more money
until matters have been straightened d
