THE Sailed PlACERS
OF SANTO DOMINGO

For many years there have been
stories of fabulously rich gold placers
in Santo Domingo and repeatedly
have American engineers and corr
panies become interested in them,
only to discover hat they had been
sailed.
One of the spectacular cases vas
that which happened to the stock
exchange house of A. o. Brown &
Co. several years ago. That firm
finding that it had been deceived and
sailed made restitution to its friends
that it had led into the venture, and
having thus crippled it's af-
terward failed, with the satisfaction,
however, that insofar as it was con-
cerned, it had acted ~honorably.
Last year there was a revival of
Santo Domingo gold mining interest,
especially in Philadelphia. At that
time we sounded a warning. How
ever, two Philadelphia groups SEM
engineers to the island, j. w. Ledoux
going for one and H. F. Lefevre for
the other. They went to two Diff
ferent properties, dealing with diff
ferent principals.
Mr.. Lefevre recently returned
from Santo Domingo and authorized
us to say in his name that after
extensive examinations he was salts
fec hal no commercial deposits or
gold existed in Santo Domingo
Both Mr.. Lefevre and Mr.. Ledoux
we're sailed. Mr.. Ledoux tells how
it was done. Mr.. Lefevre's story of
how it was done in his case, as he
has related it to us, is similar.
Another well known engineer, T.
H. France, went to Santo Domingo
in 1913 and reported that the prop
critics he examined were no good. Mr..
France took his Owl samples, with
out assistance, and escaped sailing.
Mr.. Ledoux, who is the chief engi-
neer of the American Pipe & Con-
struction company, and is well
vouched for to us. writes us that 1t
is his purpose to give as ouch pup
licity as possible to this affair. From
our information respecting the casa
of A. O. Brown & Co., of inter
mediate events, and of the recent
cases, which corrobOrates Mr.. Lc'
doux, it is our opinion that it -
high time for publicity.-Enginee

PLACER WEALTH OF
GOLD RUN DISTRICT

Thomas Major, the standby and
persistent advocate of the Gold Run
mining district, is ~recreating in Win
nemucca this week. He is a patriotic
citizen, serving his county as a jury
man. Tom Is welded t o the Gold
Run district and Interestingly dis
courses as to it's wealth and future.
This morning as he was ~lounging
about the Lafayette hotel, he made
a short talk on Gold Run and it's al
lied opportunities.
Il am working a placer ten miles
south of Golconda in Bonanza sulch.
There are five claims in the group ]
own. These claims are rich with
gravel gold. The average content
of gold is 81 per yard; some Of it
runs as high as $40 per yard. Tie
area that prospect the values is
from so feet wide to over 1000 feet
in length and an average depth of
gravel of 10 feet. The gold is net
distributed along a narrow channel
but is scattered over and throughout
the basin and in value proves itself.
The cubic yards in this area are i'm
mense, but a rich aspect as this Of
fers it requires water to sluice or
hydraulic it and this | am aiming to
get on the ground.
THE gold is exceedingly fire
grade. rating from SIS to $40 per
ounce. All winter | and associates
have been working and in a dry way
making money; also building rsscr-
in spring will give us some water to
work our gravel dumps and what we
are taking out of our drift work a.
present.
THE fact is We are in u = 81" -"
without Boosting to take out coEsid-
cradle gold this spring which will
contribute in bringing better eco
nomy appliances to our support for
larger work, or permitting the
handling of the gravel on a larger
scale by mechanical devices and the
use of water to wash the gravel. This
will in manifold sense increase u
production of the yellow metal. Our
diggings are good and gives us a
long lease on those gold fields. The
geology of the surrounding noun
tains explain much. The source of
gold is patent, bat as cience has
determined, | believe it grows by
acidic attraction as it slowly moves
en- and down the basin. There is no
question as to the placer outlook.
What this and other gulches nee1
a larger scale this wealth of gold.
"Other showings Whereabouts are
the quartz mining features. In more
ways than n this district is a sure
winner in metal production.
George Blaine is mining and
shipping ore from his lead and silver
property southwest one and one-half
miles from Adelaide.
Daddy Roberts is operating tld
proving a fine quartz gold property
a few miles west from our placer.
Robert Bass is working the old
Grage property and taking out ship
ping ore.
THE Rescue property is being OPP
Grated under bond by Salt Lake CAPT
talists. The operators are getting
fine gold returns from the cross cut
from the bottom of a 1OO-foOt shaft.
There are other good properties
in that neck of the woods.
Much work will be done in rhe

more than one good thinG being de-
veloped in the Gold Run district

Thousands who wear these windows" may prove for them selves that they can dispense with glasses if they will get the following prescription filled at once: Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Optona; fill ounce bottle with warm water and drop in one Optona tablet. With this harmless liquid so-

Eye glasses are only like crutches and every few years they must be changed to fit the ever-incieasing weakened condition, so better see if you can, like many others, get clear, healthy, strong magnetic eyes through the prescription here given.
