California Miner Made Fortune OF
Operating Motor Trucks IN
Mining Region

How a California miner made mil
lions OF dollars by taking a tip from
Uncle Sam Is the latest and most TO
mantle chapter in the history Of trans
ports,ion. Several months ago there
emerged from the Funeral Range. on
the west side OF Death Valley. a pros
pector who was all but dead from ex-
haustion. Only the knowledge OF hav-
ing discovered rich gold mine
spurred him on TO safety.
But when he recovered sufficiently
70 go and clam his riches he was
laced with the problem OF transpor-
tation- Wagons were impos ible-the
grades were too steep. Pack mules
would not do-the animals needed
more water themselves than they
could carry between wells Motor
trucks OF the ordinary type were tried.
but they all quit AZ the FIRST steep
grade.
The Death Valley miner tried a
Quad. which he operated between his
mine and Zabriskie. a little town on
the Toncpah 4 Tidewater Railroad.
Soon he had an Offer OF $40 900 for
his property. and sold out. The next
owner had carried away $50. 600 worth
OF ore with the Quad when he got an
offer OF $4,000. which he accepted.
still another change OF ownership
came when the price was boosted 10
100000. But the present owner is
not talking sale. Instead. he has
bought two more Quads. and his for
tune will soon be reckoned in mil
lions.
